I would argue that discerning what God says about his own actions is hardly "checkmating" him.
No longer do I try to limit God in my daily walk of faith in His Firstborn Son Jesus Christ who said “My Father is working until now, and I am working,” for which He was accused of blasphemy.
Yeah, but look at the context: Yeshua (Jesus) was accused of sinning by healing on the Sabbath. His response is that God himself does indeed "work" on the Sabbath, since the world continues to exist and children continue to be born, and that therefore doing what was obviously another (if more blatant) miracle from God could hardly be considered a sin.
That point remains true whether we're talking about the weekly Sabbath or God's cosmic Sabbath.
Are you an Israelite in whom there is no guile?
My own Jewish heritage is muddled at best. However, my wife and therefore my children are Jewish (and my son was circumcised on the eighth day by an Orthodox rabbi) and I have chosen to say to her, "Your people shall be my people."
Are you a believer yet in Jesus Christ as Lord of all Creation?
Yes.
Are you part of "the latter rain" that was foretold?
I know about six different ways Joel 2:23 has been interpreted, so you'd have to be more specific before I could answer in truth.
Shalom
