I would ask. . How can we keep a shadow of the unseen eternal sabbath (rest )?
Can we trust the SDA as a law of the fathers those who walk by sight ?
Like many words if someone changes the meaning of one word then a person can change the authors intent and take away the integrity of the whole law of hermeneutics. . .
Deuteromomy4: 2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.
That law coupled with the law not to add to the whole book before it was sealed till the end of time found in Revelation 22 must be applied. Together they protect the whole as the sword of the Spirit.
The word rest is not a time sensitive word like week or day. We have a shadow of that eternal rest the unseen substance if we mix faith the unseen, with the temporal seen. But we cannot keep shadows.
Shadows can disappear like with Jonah 4 .
I would think we should define the word rest before we look to how can we keep it otherwise we could be changing the intent.
