The Forgotten Day

Happy Sabbath everybody! Im glad I worship on the Sabbath. Boy do people need the rest. Thank God for the Sabbath

Trick question..LOL..U know there is no commandment..I simply said the disciples met on Sunday for fear of the Romans..They did not worship with the unsaved Jews..Christ blessed them on a Sunday for their for their worship (Mathew)..Christ is the new advent..I promise versus to you..*smile*..Soon

I do, jus making sure you knew that too ;) They did meet on that day for that reason, I'm glad you stated the reason. Many forget and think they were there as a new custom to worship on the 1st day, which is simply not true. As you said, they were gathered because they were afraid of the Jews. I don't remember reading they gathered for reason to worship as they did on the Sabbath, do you?

I'm not sure what u mean by Christ=new advent. Sure, verses will be great :)

This is gonna be quick..I'm not with my Bible right now so the best I can explain it is the Sabbath is a DAY OF REST-Now as far as worship do you think he cares as long as we worship him..Sunday through Saturday..

.If I worshiped on Tuesday this would not be in question...God says there are saved people in every church..7th Day Advents want to claim salvation simply because of the Sabbath..NO!..God Bless you ..I can rest on Sat and worship any time I want..You may go to church on Sat...Dressing, driving, cooking dinner..Now tell me about the Sabbath.

Stormy, SDAs make no claim to be saved by works as you suggest. When you love someone, you listen. "If ye love me, keep my commandments" -Jesus Christ (John 14:15). Its really that simple.

Now, you can worship and should everyday. I agree. But, did you know that only one day has a blessing? Meaning, you will not receive that blessing on any other day at all. None. Only one, and thats on the Sabbath, when Jesus asks to remember and keep it. Why not listen to the Lord of the Sabbath?

First of all, of the 10 commandments listed in Exodus 20:1-17, only 9 of them were reinstituted in the New Testament: (six in Matt. 19:18, murder, adultery, stealing, false witness, honor parents, and worshiping God; Rom. 13:9, coveting. Worshiping God properly covers the first three commandments) The one that was not reaffirmed was the one about the Sabbath. Instead, Jesus said that He is the Lord of the Sabbath (Matt. 12:8).

completion of Creation God rested/on the seventh day. But, since God is all powerful, He doesnt get tired, need to take a break and rest. Why did does it say that He rested? The reason is simple: Mark 2:27 says, "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath." In other words, God established the Sabbath as a rest for His people, not because He needed a break, but because we are mortal and need a time of rest, a time to focus on God. In this, our spirits and bodies are both renewed.

I'm not sure how your next statement helps dismiss the Sabbath.

God rested as an example. I agree with you in that He cannot get tired, He cannot (Isaiah 40:28,29).

Because He rested it is Holy. God did not rest on any other day, and now this cannot be changed. It has been done and so it is now.

So with your last statement, it seems you are admitting we still need the Sabbath. Am I wrong?

Friend, that opening statement is not true. I have found it repeated three times in the NT. Matthew 24:20 from Jesus Himself, Hebrews 4:9 (you may want to read it in the KJV and see the margin and Greek), and Revelation 14:6-12.

Thats plenty to see it is commanded ;)

If you follow the Lord of the Sabbath, you should seek Him on the day He is Lord over. Not a day He is not Lord over.
