COMMENT BY Alex on the sabbath day, Nope there is no more sat. or sunday in Christ Jesus,when he said abide in me and i in you thats 24/7,he even tells us the branch has to abide in the vine continually 24/7 or there will be no fruit. like his disciples followed Jesus every day NOT 1 DAY A WEEK they had to forsake everything, that day of rest is in the spritual realm. God wants everyday holy Not 1 day a week,When the kingdom comes there will be no more days of the week. When he fed the multitudes he fed everybody no questions asked men women and children everybody even picked up 12 baskets for the gentiles,God always had the gentiles in mind as Jesus said about naaman the Syrian Being healed b/f th Jews. Jesus said he maketh his sun to shine on the good and the bad maketh his rain to fall on the just and the unjust God is no Respector of persons as all men must be bornagain of an incorruptible seed which is the living word of God Jew and gentile a like,as we all carry the stain and the spot of Adam there was none righteous no not one thus he will pour out his spirit on all flesh as Isaiah said knowledge shall cover the earth as the waters cover the seas EVERYBODY IS GONNA BE BAPTISED WITH HIS SPIRIT JEW AND GENTILE ALIKE.HE WILL POUR OUT HIS SPIRIT ON ALL FLESH just as he fed the multitudes the 3 rd day If i be lifted up i will draw ALL men unto me,Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to EVERY CREATURE He makes his rain and his sun ( his spirit ) to cover everybody.God so loved the world etc not his will that any should perish.By 1 spirit are we ALL BAPTISED INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST JEW OR GENTILE ALIKE ECT.

Hi brother, Greetings to you!

This is with regards to your comment on the Sabbath. Right from the creation, God has set apart one day as the Holy Day, A day of rest. He sanctified the Sabbath day, which is the seventh day of the week and not any other day or all the days of the week. We can also see from the commandments written by God Himself to Remember to keep the Sabbath Day Holy; Six days you shall work but the Seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord Thy God( Exodus 20:8-11); It is a covenant sign between God and His Children( Ezekiel 20:20).

However, most of our Fellow Christian friends worship God on the first day of the week, which is merely man made and that day has neither been considered as a day to worship nor God has changed the day of worship from Saturday, the 7th day of the week to Sunday, the first day of the week.

Jesus, while He lived on this earth, kept the Sabbath and went to the church on Sabbath days as His custom was( Luke 4:16). Jesus even said, in Matthew 5:17 that He has not come to destroy the law or the prophets but to fulfill. Jesus also said, if you love Me, keep My commandments( John 14:15). So, its very plain and simple, if you love Jesus, Keep His commandments.

As we live in the last days, there is going to be a time where we all are going to face a testing time with regards to the day of worship. All the end time prophecies as mentioned in the book of Revelation are fulfilling and soon, Sunday law is going to be enforced globally. The Question is whether we are obedient to God's law by observing the Bible Sabbath or following the man made commandments( Revelation 14:12) These are explained definitely not to scare anyone; but the Scripture says, Whoever obeys His words are going to receive the seal of God and the others the mark of the Beast.

The beautiful part is, we are going to observe Sabbaths in Heaven as well!( Isaiah 66:23). So, why don't we start right here on earth! May the Holy Spirit lead you to His truth. Amen.

Angeline, With respect to keeping the Sabbath, what were the requirements? What is your take on statements that seem to say it doesn't matter if you keep the Sabbath?

Mark 2:27

Then Jesus declared, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. Therefore, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."

Mark 7:19

because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated." (Thus all foods are clean.)

Romans 14:3

For one person has faith to eat all things, while another, who is weak, eats only vegetables. The one who eats everything must not belittle the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted him.

Romans 14:5

One man regards a certain day above the others, while someone else considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes a special day does so to the Lord; he who eats does so to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God.

Romans 14:17

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

But now that you know God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you are turning back to those weak and worthless principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again? You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!

Colossians 2:20

If you have died with Christ to the spiritual forces of the world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its regulations: These will all perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings.
