But I am probably just prejudiced against that terminology. ;-)

Perhaps I should just look that word up.....but I doubt it would change my feeling on that WL flavored speech.

Oops, I didn't know that word was part of Local Church lingo. What I meant by "crystalize" was that sometimes certain things are known to us in our spirit but it's until only later that the Lord actually articulates and aligns certain truths to us in mind as well.

That's what happened with me concerning the Sabbath. I knew observing a set apart day for sabbath was no longer required of us and that being in Jesus was our fulfillment of that commandment but it wasn't aligned with my theology until I started researching the Hebrew Roots movement. Only then did I really get it. I assumed that happened for you as well since SDA and HR both teach a literal sabbath.

No, it is a perfectly harmless word. It just has the misfortune to be tied by association to the LC ministry. Probably on every banner ever printed up, extra large. And most of the Holy Word for Morning Revival. And I did look it up. To make something clear, precise. Perfectly functional word! And yes, to see that Christ literally IS our sabbath. Sets us free from keeping that law. It seems HR and SDA have a bit in common. No, an observation of a particular day is no longer a requirement. We are free from that. And let me say, simultaneously, as I understand Roman's 14 (I think) I can safely support others if they do see a day as special, or marked separate from other days, to observe. While I am still free from the obligation. Isn't Jesus awesome? Bless God, brother!

Yes, absolutely. Amen!
