The Lord’s Sabbath

The Lord’s weekly Sabbath day is Friday sundown to Saturday sundown; This fact is Proven in the Holy Bible. Many people today believe the Sabbath to be Sunday 12:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. , this is a gross misunderstanding of the truth. The Bible clearly states the Sabbath to be the Seventh day of the week. Any person in their right mind can read a calendar; clalenders plainly show Sunday as the 1st day of the week, so how could it possible be mistaken as the 7th day? The answer can differ for a few reasons; they don’t read the Bible (ignorant), they don’t believe in the Word if God, they rather obey traditions of men rather then the Word of God, or all of thee above. What ever the case, the Word is the only authority that can prove the weekly Sabbath day is Friday sundown to Saturday sundown.

The Lord setup the evening (sundown) to start a new day (even today a new day starts at night)


Genesis 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening F and the morning were the first day.


The Lord establishes the Sabbath day to be the 7th day:


Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 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. 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.

The Lord makes observation of the Sabbath a law even one of the TEN COMMANDMENTS:

Exodus 20:8 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.
Deuteronomy 5:12 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee. "13": Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: 14": 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, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ***, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou. 15": And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.

The reiterates the proclamation of the Sabbath to be the 7th day:

Leviticus 23:3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.

The Sabbath day is a high day above all days:

Ecclesiasticus33:7: Why doth one day excel another, when as all the light of every day in the year is of the sun? 8: By the knowledge of the Lord they were distinguished: and he altered seasons and feasts. 9: Some of them hath he made high days, and hallowed them, and some of them hath he made ordinary days.

Christ Worshiped at the temple every Sabbath day:

Luke 4:14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. 16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.

Man is blessed for keeping the Sabbath:

Isaiah 56:2 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.

The Sabbath must be kept holy meaning no sex or indulging in other act the make you unclean:

Isaiah 58:13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: 14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

No one can deny that the Sabbath day is not Sunday after truly studying the Bible. Any one who speaks against the truth of God’s Word is a liar and not of God, they are false prophets, and even an anti-Christ.

1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

The spirit of Truth abides in the word of God:
John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

Mark 13:5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:

Ephesians 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience

Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world:

Daniel 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

Christ warns us to be not decived by the wick plot of Satan to stop the correct worship of God. Just because your family and everyone else you know have been going to church on Sunday dose not make it right. Even your mather use to say, “If all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you jump off just because they did?” This is the same case…don’t follow the crowd follow God’s Commandment, honor the Sabbath day, the 7th day.

Acts 5:29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

Matthew 15:3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

Mark 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

Mark 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.


*Note

The Feasts of the Lord are Sabbath days also which depending on the new moon can fall on any day of the week, theses feast days should be given the same respect as the weekly Sabbath:

Passover (1st fruits), Pentecost, Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Feast of Tabbernacles; these can all be found in Leviticus 23rd chapter.

Hannakah 1 Maccabees 4th chapter; Purim Esther 9th chapter
I write this in the spirit of Christ.
Amen

Does it really matter when we rest and take time for God as long as we do..even Jesus Himself was badgered cuz He healed a man on the sabbath..I am not saying you are wrong in your statement I just think that some views like this tend to make it to hard to Worship God because of our need to have to work and provide for our families..I am a single mother and have to work 7 days a week...does that make those who worship on sat. or sunday. any more saved then the ones who don't

This topic is not about whether you have to work or not on the Sabbath day, although you should do all in your power to observe the Holy Days in the full Spirit of Gods will, Jesus said it’s good to do good on the Sabbath and if you need to work to eat on that day then you must do what you must, that’s between you and God.

Matthew 12:11": And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

Mark 3:4": And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.

Rather this post is about disproving the common misconception that Sunday is the Sabbath.

and my point is does it really matter..

if He can use a mule to preach a sermon...or use a harlot to take a city...or anyone one of the disciples..which were some unsavory characters to start the christian movement and carry on His work..does it really matter what do we worship as long as we do..

Does any religious dogma really matter? What happens to those who ignore it?

Let get some meaty quotes in here!! I love the wrathful god quotes!

maybe you should look them up for yourself...I got just the Book for you...it is called the Bible believe it or not makes no difference to me but it will all come true just as It says It will...

Ohh I sense twisting undies.

But my question was serious. If you abandon one piece of dogma becuase you feel its not serious, or not important, or for whatever reason, then what distinguishes that piece from every other piece?

Essentially why the designer xians? Why Cherry pick the relevant pieces? Whats the motive? How does it work? How can we tell whats important from the "why worry which day" dogma's?

I am but stating my opinion...make no mistake this man and I worship the same God and read the same Bible...we just feel differently about it as is our right as it is your right to believe or not...no my undies are not twisting in the least we can just agree to disagree..and discuss how we feel and interpret the Bible..so we have no problem in it...do you darlin..

So does this mean its arbitrary what pieces you follow?

I have a certain respect for the OP, becuase he is explaining his position, he is explaining an adherence to biblical literalism, and where the bible can be properly understood to mean something he accepts that this is law as Jesus stated he would not change.

You however have not. I agree we all have our reasons, and I asked you a question, you can always tell me no thanks and move along but you tried to make a point in saying that you do not think its important as long as you worship, so I think its a completely normal and honest question to ask you why.

because as I said...how could it matter...the day we worship..if He can take ordinary things most of believe to be ungodly and use them to further His word...such as the mule and the harlot and the disciples..so how could any certain day make a difference as long as there is a day..He can take anything pagan and make it holy it all belongs to Him..I have to go now...I just did not want you to think I was running away..I will be back later if you wish to carry this futher...

It may be a fact in your belief system, but that doesn't make it a fact in reality.

nuh uh

Besdides, isn't it supposed to make a diff to you?

"take anything pagan"....boyhowdy has christianity done that alot..

I celebrated Lammas the other day. Is that a Sabbath day?

I am extremely unclear on how to determine what to pay attention to in the bible and what not to.

So you are saying that if Jesus can make use of hookers and mules to do gods will then all the details of worship are equally able to be ignored?

Yea not sure I understand. So what about burnt offerings? What about blood sacrifices? What about being true to your parents? What about idolatry?

I mean why be specific in the holy scriptures about these things if they are not important? Why would the scriptures mention the 7th day as the right day if any day would do? Wouldn't the unerring word of god just say, thou shall worship on a day, any day will do!

awww, I'm just so glad I'm not a Christian and don't have to worry about all these rules... that are still being debated.

The ambiguity of the bible is intentional. It was meant to be interpreted many different ways. Man created the bible to scare and beat the masses into submission with the fear of an invisible big brother in the sky.

Of course there are as many different interpretations as there are humans.

Well interpreting is one thing, and I agree a lot of "that" goes on.

But what I am really interested in is the out and out ignoring parts becuase it makes sense to for whatever reasons.

I mean who stones to death unruly kids . . . we all would like to sometimes ARRRH!!! But we do not.

The very idea that the divine creator of this universe would be plaqued with a huge ego and a jealous personality that lusts to be worshipped is an oxymoronic idea to begin with.

Morover the "Holy Bible" doesn't "prove" anything. It's just a collection of grossly inconsistent tales that even had God betting with Satan and being mean to people who already worship him with complete devotion.

If I were to believe what the "Holy Bible" has to say, I'd have to believe that God is an absolute heartless insensitive and totally ignorant jerk who has far lesser morals than many mortal men and women that I've actually met in person.

I don't believe that the creator of this universe could be anywhere near as lame as the so-called "Holy Bible" demands.
