Why its important to keep the Sabbath

[amigo de christo]

It is, at once, interesting and frightening that to some this very text has often brought conviction which actually manifests itself in a sudden change of facial expression, but today it increasingly emboldens others in defiant and open rebellion, while proudly taking upon their lips the name of Him against whom they are hopefully unwittingly rebelling.

Never have I seen the Word of God so glaringly used by Christians to represent the very opposite of what it says.

Never have I seen the signs of the times so clearly as I do today. Yesterday, I saw a very prominent Seventh-day Adventist stand on stage and almost mockingly claim that there exists no separation of church and state in the US constitution. You probably wouldn't need to strain very hard to guess who it is.

The final movements are rapidly passing.

I wonder what those who so proudly think to impeach the 4th commandment entirely will think when they suddenly realize they are being forced to choose between one that promises to save their hides and another that some are keeping because they believe "we ought to obey God rather than men" (Acts 5:29).

.

Never have i seen the Word of GOD , the Love of GOD so glaringly used
against those who would correct the false all inclusive love that many now claim is coming from GOD .
OH its a war all right .
Never have i seen the signs of the times so clearly .
A massive falling away is peaking right now , only most are calling it finding common ground
, unity , judge not , as they merge more and more under what they think is the love of God .
Most are already to some degree infected with this stuff barney .
The lie that unites and shall unite all to be as one is in evangelising mode , as it
and its peoples put down barrriers , divisions that divide , AKA BIBLICAL TRUTH
and heed more and more a still small voice that hollers love often and yet sure dont seem to love
biblical truth that exposes its false love unity we are one community builders stuff .
KNOW anyone like that ..............I see it barney and i see it is affecting more and more daily .
This is not looking good chief .

 

[amigo de christo]

Anything that seeks to be of greater importance then CHRIST = is not important

Anything that seeks to be of greater importance then Christ ................
And yet i see the lie which is uniting all to merge and to be as one
being put as DIRE IMPORTANCE above everything .
its the false sensual love lie . That they have made THEIR GOD as they holler
it dont matter what religion one is of
it matters not if one is atheist so long as they have love . this love they preach IS THEIR GOLDEN
bull which DOES HONOR certain sins and many paths . And worse A WHOLE lot o folks
are now dancing round the fire to that bull they think is love and has come of God .
Satan sure is a sneaky one indeed .........

I can see that the shots being fired past each other is typical of the forums I remember from way back. Very little communication happens and probable ever less considerations of another's posts. I had high hopes, though.

I will leave with one reference that should require explanation, but I doubt it will happen.

Ga 5:13–18 For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another. But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law

Maybe see some of you again. May Yahweh prod those who need to reevaluate what they have been taught in the past.

Why did God Command this? - Exodus 31:12-17

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 13“Speak also to the children of Israel, saying: ‘Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you. You shall keep the Sabbath, therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who [c]profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people. 15Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. 16Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant. 17It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’ ”

I don't know what Kabbalism is. I have enough to learn with Christianity.
:)

Gen 2:2
And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Gen 2:3
And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

So it doesn't say God ended his work on the sixth day and then rested on the seventh.
He ended his work on the seventh day he rested ON the seventh day.
And because he rested on it, he blessed it and sanctified it because IN it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

I think this part is particularly interesting to contemplate. Never thought of that before--no evening and morning in it.

And yet, it is past tense--God rested on that day. Somehow it had come to an end, just like all the other days. It was a set period of enjoyment, just like an artist may finish a painting and then stand back to look at his work for a set period of time.

I think that may set an example for us to accomplish things where we can sort of stand back and admire our work. ;) We should do things to make our Father in heaven proud, and to make ourselves proud of what we've accomplished.

The fact that the work of Creation was finished indicates that all work has a completion date, which is a resolution to every issue that may arise. All kinds of work come to an end, and have a value.

I just can't fathom why the 7th Day had no evening or morning, even though it came and went like all the other days? Interesting to think about ! Thank you.

 

[BarneyFife]

The Bible doesn't record that the 7th day had no evening and morning—it simply doesn't mention that it did.

God's work of creation was at an end at the end of the 6th day as the 7th day began—otherwise He could not be said to have rested on that day (see Exodus 20:11).

The narration style changes on the 7th day and those who added chapter divisions even saw fit to start the 2nd chapter of Genesis at this point. The 1st chapter reads much like a poem.

There is no significance in the absence of a mention of light and darkness on the 7th day that would suggest the 4th commandment is of any less value than the other 9.

To claim otherwise is only to indicate historical criticism and/or confirmation bias.

For people "evening" often denotes a time of rest from work. But on the 7th Day God likely didn't need to suggest a need to "sleep?" Surely there was a full day of some sort, but no suggestion of the need to sleep, which is associated with evening. Just a thought....

Well if you compare the seventh day with no evening and no morning,
And you skip on over to Revelation you find that there is no evening or morning there either in God's kingdom. Neither is their sun nor moon because the lamb is the light thereof.
And God called the Light Day and he created the Night also.
But there is no night in the city which God resides in. Only in the DAY.

Rev 21:21
And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
Rev 21:22
And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
Rev 21:23
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
Rev 21:24
And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
Rev 21:25
And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
Rev 21:26
And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.

Rev 22:1
And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
Rev 22:2
In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Rev 22:3
And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
Rev 22:4
And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
Rev 22:5
And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

And the Light he called Day.
To Day if ye will hear his voice...

1Th 5:5
Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

There is no evening or morning in the seventh DAY.

Gen 1:3
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Gen 1:4
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
Gen 1:5
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Jhn 8:12
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

[Raccoon1010]

We work and take care of what gives us physical substance to stay alive, but God knows that man also needs the spiritual. If all we did was work we would soon waste away in exhaustion of mind and body with no thoughts of our Creator whom we owe our existence or His love for us, to say nothing of His plan of redemption. The Sabbath is important, as in God's final warning messages to the world we find a call to worship the Creator.
Revelation 14:6-7
6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

The call to worship in Revelation 14:7 brings us back to the Sabbath Commandment which God set aside specifically for holy purposes:
Exodus 20:8-11
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Throughout the scriptures we can see an emphasis on the recognition of the Creator.
Revelation 4:11
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Nehemiah 9:6
Thou, even thou, art Lord alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.

Psalm 33:6
By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

Psalm 96:4-5
4 For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.

Psalm 121:1-2
1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

Isaiah 45:18
For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else.

Acts 4:24
And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:

By keeping the Sabbath holy, as He commanded us, we show our love for Him and give recognition of His authority in our life.
1 John 5:1-3
1Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

All the other commandments we can pretend to follow, but the importance of the Sabbath stands out, it is a sign, the standard of God. When he draws his battle line, the true believers put on the armor and choose God, the deceived put on the "traditions" of men and the false doctrines of the rebel who raises his banner of his 'authority'.

The Sabbath cannot be hidden under a bushel, you can hide your idols, swear against God out of hearing of others and love other gods such as sex, money, fame... and no one would know. But like Daniel praying at his window for all to see the Sabbath is a clear display of our love for God when we worship him. Its important...

Observing the Sabbath honors God.

Jesus CLEARLY said there are no Sabbath commands for Christians! NONE! We have the New Covenant!

"the evening and the morning were the first day" for SIX days but no evening on the 7th = (as @Ziggy previously pointed out)

NOTICE = First comes evening/darkness = Death on the Cross = God's WORK FINISHED from the Foundation of the world

Jeremiah 2:31
“O my people, listen to the words of the LORD! Have I been like a desert to Israel? Have I been to them a land of darkness?
Why then do my people say, ‘At last we are free from God! We don’t need him anymore!’

Matthew 27:39-41
And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads and saying, “You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”
Likewise the chief priests also, mocking with the scribes and elders, said, “He saved others; Himself He cannot save.

Luke 23:44-46
Now it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
Then the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.
And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, “Father, ‘into Your hands I commit My spirit.’
” Having said this, He breathed His last.

7th DAY has no darkness = RESURRECTION = sun rises = SON RISES = Pure LIGHT

I think you have to realize the anonymity of the Internet is fertile ground for Trolls .

Just because someone joins a site like this,doesn't mean they are Christian.
Sooner or later they prove that themselves.

And multiple accounts are not unusual either. They back each other in their posts,and sound alike.

 

[Ziggy]

Some of us on here are TRUTH Seekers = "Thy word is Truth"


Why did God Command this? - Exodus 31:12-17

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 13“Speak also to the children of Israel, saying: ‘Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you. You shall keep the Sabbath, therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who [c]profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people. 15Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. 16Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant. 17It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’ ”

So I found this interesting.
When God took Israel out of Egypt, He promised to send them to the land of the ites.. Canaanites, Amorites, Hivites, Hittites.Jebusites.
Lots of ites.
To a large open space flowing with milk and honey.

These peoples lived in the promised land.

Exo 13:3

And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
Exo 13:4
This day came ye out in the month Abib.
Exo 13:5
And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.
Exo 13:6
Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.
Exo 13:7
Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.
Exo 13:8
And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.
Exo 13:9
And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD'S law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.
Exo 13:10
Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.


When you come to the NT Jesus mentions beware of the leaven of the Pharisees. Leaven meaning Hypocrisy, and unleavened meaning in sincerity and truth.
Luk 12:1
In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
1Co 5:8
Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

They were supposed to be the light of the world, as Jesus sent us to be... to the Gentiles.
Mat 5:14
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

Now God says he is going to send in Israel into these nations, And his Angel is going to go before them to cut them off.
Why is he going to cut them off?
Exo 23:20
Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
Exo 23:21
Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
Exo 23:22
But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
Exo 23:23
For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.
Exo 23:24
Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.
Exo 23:25
And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
Exo 23:26
There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.

Sounds like the wild olive branch Paul talks about that gets cut off but is able to be grafted in again.
Romans Chapter 11.

Deu 9:5
Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Deu 9:6
Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.

The topography of the earth abounds with mountains and valleys. And God throws down the high and lofty and raises up the meek and lowly.
And so these Gentiles got thrown out of the good land because they made gods for themselves to bow down to, and worshipped the works of their hands. So God cut them off.

So I would have to ask... Did these nations know to do good? Did they know God and then forget God?
These came from the sons of Noah right? What did they forget?
Was Israel sent there to show them who he is, Like Jesus came to show us who the Father is?

Ring around the rosie, we all fall down.
There is none righteous, all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Good day with Dad today.

Rev 22:1
And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

Jhn 7:38
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Out of whose belly?

Jhn 7:37
In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
Jhn 7:38
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
Jhn 7:39
(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified. )

So the pure river of water of life is the Holy Spirit which proceeds out of the throne of God and the Lamb.

Gen 2:10
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

Psa 1:3
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

lots of rivers... some turned to blood and others turned to oil. And lots of tears.
Thou anointest my head with oil...
And she wiped his feet with her tears.

Lots of digging for that one.
not today though.

Luke 23:44-46
Now it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
Then the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.
And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, “Father, ‘into Your hands I commit My spirit.’
” Having said this, He breathed His last.

7th DAY has no darkness = RESURRECTION = sun rises = SON RISES = Pure LIGHT

And after His death, the people went and rested on the saturday sabbath................................

Some rest - huh!
Was there 'rest' for anyone on that sabbath? = ABSOLUTELY NONE

But then came the Rising SON and a New DAY of Worship and REST began for His People!!!

2 Corinthians 7-11
But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels.
For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.

"Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it."
