Sabbath
- Thread starter Squeaky
- Start date
Yes, I know...
is why I think it striking that He doesn't instruct us to pray we are spared or ok in our times of trouble...I guess that would be redundant since we are in Him...and in His hands...
what He asks us to pray is that we don't need to flee and break the Sabbath in our times of trouble...
I guess as it would give us comfort and rest during our time of trouble...and a powerful testimony that the Sabbath was still kept as that is who we are...
Yup...No prayers to spare ourselves or Jerusalem or the temple...just the Sabbath...

Most do not understand the importance of keeping the Laws in the spirit, or why we do. They shout out weak faith based on law keeping instead of caring enough about loving our creator to keep them. They see it as a wage paid for salvation. Fools they are.

What is one suppose to do on that day? Do you worship on that day? Or do you just rest?

I spend the day doing nothing but being grateful for all the blessing he has given me. I see him as the most high God who created all through his son. I reflect on his greatness and the love he has given me.
I seem closer to him on his day. Even though I pray to him everyday, his Sabbath is special. It is like discarding the world to be with him.

lol There you go again talking in riddles. What does that mean?
you said
Oh and of course "we are follow to the Spirit"
Fools?...perhaps but I see them as merely deceived...Satan has worked doubly hard at this commandment...first by having it be seen as Jewish...then as something fulfilled and abolished as if it were merely a ceremonial law done by Jews...he then has them think it has been transferred into everyday rest or Sunday resurrection celebrations when He never said anything about become a Sabbath day...or that we should celebrate His resurrection...which I maintain occured on the Sabbath not first day first fruits celebrations...
Maybe as we speak of our joy and understanding to each other we can witness the blessing it is in our lives...
Satan was genius having the Church merit salvation by doing Her works as the backlash against her obligations and man made traditions propelled the reformers into Grace only...even Luther struggled with the idea there remains for us His work His celebrations His sacraments to follow...Protestants are now lost not in space but Grace with no real tangible evidence that they are indeed obedient and can demonstrate their gratitude by doing His works...that alone is a sacrament...the comfort of knowing you belong to Him His promise His way...His people...
To think Sunday mass is an obligation...but even it is no longer enforced by refusal of the Host if the mortal sin of missing it is not confessed...
The wording is interesting to...they are obligated to assist in the mass...assist in the perpetual killing of the One we love...
Hoping to hear more of your joy and blessing for rejecting that...and keeping Him His way...

lolol Well it seems you have stired up some contravery over the Sabbath with a few in here. I don't know why they would listen to you. You are an anti Christ. And full of guile.

The spirit of Christ keeps me comfortable and safe. I have food in my stomach, a roof over my head and oil in my furnace. And I am happy to be old and poor.
How many realize that they have many blessings like that?

No riddle at all...it often comes up that we are not to keep the Law...but follow the Spirit...
It is said as if the Spirit would lead us into fornication, or stealing, or killing, or worshipping false gods, or worshipping the true One falsely...
Of course the Spirit would NOT do so...but lead you into a life more like His not less...and to have you love more like Him and not less...
A Spirit filled life is His Spirit...it doesn't counter or alter or deviate down another way which is NOT of HIM...
So of all the spirits out there the One to follow is the One that inspires you to live and love JUST AS He did and not to earn salvation but because you are aware of all that was done for you...
This is why Sabbath is such a great memorial...when you remember it you remember you were created to start with...and saved from sin...it's all right there...
Any variation of it into everyday rest or any day really doesn't validate exactly what His rest is...a memorial for all that was done for you to rest...and even a shadow pointing of the good things STILL TO COME
Yup...six days hard labor and anyone becomes quite grateful to merely rest...
Satan has been clever in getting us to work less manually physically and even less hours and less days...now we have two days off...so rest is really not that precious as any needed item is especially if it's rare...
and for hard workers a day off is gold...

We all need to fulfil that Law friend.
Christ came to show is how. He preached as to how and in what way to keep his law. It got to be done in the spirit only for your love to him who loved you first. The law will not save you but a loving heart will my friend.

That is great. But I just hate to see you loose out because you support clefty on making the Sabbath a law in the new testament. I like the Sabbath also.
Rom 14:22
22 Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.
(NKJ)
We don't even know what clefty is yet. He is not a Christian, he is not a Jew. but you are supporting him.
I said
I can only show you. Its up to you whether you believe Jesus or not.
Matt 12:34-37
34 "Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
35 "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.
36 "But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
37 "For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."
(NKJ)
Matt 5:22
22 "But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, 'Raca!' shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of hell fire.

I support the Law only because God gave it. Clergy seems OK with me but I have been keeping his law for many years. It was one of the biggest reasons I left the church. The church just picks the laws that they choose to keep.

Obedience to the law should come from the heart. For the right reasons. It is the spirit that resides in you that will guide your thoughts. I choose to love as Christ taught me.
