While this site was initially set up to explore deeper Biblical truths regarding ONE primary topic, there are plenty of OTHER Biblical topics, passages, words, etc. worthy of deep exploration. We encourage you to dig deeper as YHWH leads you, whether or not it has anything to do with what is posted on this site.
The site was set up, and at this point, is still focused on observing the Biblical Sabbath. Some of the verses used, and some of the questions, may be more general and may apply to parts of the Bible in general. However, the focus is still, at this point, on Sabbath, not on the other Biblical teachings that are not found in the 10 commandments. (Except regarding being a blessing to the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, standing against antisemitism, reuniting the “10 lost tribes” of the northern kingdom of Israel with Judah and the southern kingdom of Israel, and similar ways of blessing those whom God blesses.)
Use this site to learn or consider as much as you like. And continue learning more - on this subject or others - from other sites and sources. This site is by NO means the final stop in your journey. Don't get stuck on this. Keep growing in God.

By placing something (rote religious practices) and/or someone (an earthly priest or religious leader) – other than Jesus Christ – as a mediator between us and the Lord, are we not at greater risk of not growing spiritually? If all we are doing spiritually is being spoon-fed [read this passage, pray this prayer, believe this way], will not our growth be limited?
John 6:45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.
Isaiah 2:3 Many people shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth the law, And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Isaiah 54:13 All your children shall be taught by the LORD, And great shall be the peace of your children.
