He said it was good to save life on the sabbath than to kill. He also said "My father is working on the sabbath so I must also work". Can we understand the commandents of God more than Jesus Christ? - louis kwofie Mon, 11 Jan 2010 22:07:00 +0100 http://www.worldslastchance.com/biblical-christian-beliefs/sabbath-in-the-bible.html#comment-11428 I don't have a problem with keeping the Sabbath. My question is: Since there is no mention of Monday, Tuesday etc., how do we know which day is the real Sabbath. - Norman Whitehead Sun, 10 Jan 2010 09:29:58 +0100 http://www.worldslastchance.com/biblical-christian-beliefs/sabbath-in-the-bible.html#comment-10645 In response to Daniel 8 message, allow me to make four points: In regards to Col. 2:16, I let no man to judge me about my Sabbath keeping. The seventh day Sabbath is not only a command from the Old Testament, but a prophecy of the millennial Sabbath yet to come. There will be no Sunday keepers in the Kingdom of God. In Lev. 23 the LORD said: Say to the people of Israel (say to God’s people); The appointed feasts of the LORD, which you shall proclaim as holy convocations, MY appointed feasts are these.” They are both the weekly and the annual Sabbaths. The seven annual Sabbaths, just like the weekly Sabbath, are prophecies of which only the first three (Passover, Days of Unleavened Bread and Pentecost) have taken place. These are the feasts to bring about personal change. The next four (Trumpets, Atonement, Tabernacles and Last Great Day) are yet to take place and will bring about worldwide changes when Jesus Christ will set up the Kingdom of God on earth. Jesus said: “If you love me, keep my commandments” The fourth commandment is one of His commandments and not keeping it tells Him that you do not love Him. - Robert Schmid Sun, 27 Dec 2009 17:20:44 +0100 http://www.worldslastchance.com/biblical-christian-beliefs/sabbath-in-the-bible.html#comment-9377 It's so amazing that God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it. Why seventh day, why not the first or the second and so on. It must be a reason, and it was given while human being still has no sin at all, holy, pure and blissful. Sabbath was created in the Garden of Eden, so blessed to human kind. Read and think of it again and again you will find the answer why... 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. God blessed the Seventh day and santified it. It's going to be that way forever. There are seven days in a week but God only blessed the seventh day, not the the first and not the six day or the fiftth day. And then God promise through words came out from His mouth written in the Isaiah 58:13-14 as follows: 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. God mentioned that the sabbath is His holy day... and There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. (Hebrew 4:9) It's so amazing... - Yooke Longkutoy Fri, 04 Dec 2009 02:44:11 +0100 http://www.worldslastchance.com/biblical-christian-beliefs/sabbath-in-the-bible.html#comment-8911 Bible Truth about Sabbath as the Seal of God There is nothing wrong with a believer setting aside the Sabbath as a time to worship God. Various Christian groups throughout the Christian era have seen this as an important part of their worship of God. Today, there are over 300 Christian groups and denominations that worship on the Seventh-day Sabbath. Most of these get along very peacefully with their Sunday-keeping brethren. They follow Paul's admonition to never let the observance of days be a reason to separate Christians (see Rom. 14). However, there is one sect of Sabbath-keepers, the Seventh-day Adventists, that takes an extreme position on the Sabbath. They make it a requirement for salvation. They teach that in order to receive the "seal of God" one must keep the seventh day Sabbath. They teach that churches who do not keep Sabbath are part of "Babylon" or "Apostate Protestantism." This divisive teaching separates believers, familes, and friends. It turns the Sabbath-Sunday debate into a battleground between the "loyal" Sabbath-keepers and the "disloyal" Sunday-keepers. For Adventists, it can lead to an "I'm better than thou" issue of spiritual pride. Adventists view the Sabbath as a test of their loyalty to their Creator, and a separating wall between true believers and false believers. In effect, they are passing judgment upon other Christians based upon their observance of a day. This is the exact practice which Paul forbid! Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath [days]. (Col. 2:16) While some Christians look at the New Testament and find evidences to support Sabbath observance, many others read the New Testament and find little or nothing said about the importance of the Sabbath. As Paul said, "let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind." (Rom. 14:5) 1. In the Bible, what is the purpose of a seal? Est 8:8 - Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king's name, and seal [it] with the king's ring: for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no man reverse. The purpose of a seal is to prevent the contents of the object being sealed from being changed. A law that was sealed by the king's ring could never be changed. When Daniel was thrown in the Lion's Den, the entrance was "sealed" indicating the king's will could not be undone (Dan. 6:17). The tomb of Christ was "sealed" by Pilate to prevent anyone from touching its contents (Matt. 27:66). - daniel 8 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:33:34 +0100 http://www.worldslastchance.com/biblical-christian-beliefs/sabbath-in-the-bible.html#comment-8910 continue.... The book of Revelation does not give us many details about what the seal of God is, and it only gives us a few clues about those who sealed: They are "servants of our God" (Rev. 7:3) They are 144,000 in number (Rev. 7:4) They are from the twelve tribes of Israel (Rev. 7:4) They have the "Father's name written in their foreheads" (Rev. 14:1; in ancient seals, the king's name was usually found on the seal.) They "were redeemed from the earth" (Rev. 14:3) They "are virgins" (Rev. 14:4) They "follow the Lamb" (Rev. 14:4) Their speech is pure (Rev. 14:5) They are "without fault" (Rev. 14:5) Please note: There is nothing in the description of the 144,000 about Sabbath-keeping. If Sabbath-keeping is indeed the most important and prominent sign that separates true Christians from false ones, then why didn't John at least mention it here? 3. What is the Seal of God? Revelation does not tell us in precise detail what the seal is or how it is administered, so we must assume it was a well-known concept in the early church. As a matter of fact, the word "seal" appears many times in the New Testament. From studying these verses we can get a good understanding of how the church of the apostle John's day understood the meaning and significance of the "seal". The Apostle John18 wrote of Jesus: ....him hath God the Father sealed. (John 6:27) Just as ancient kings sealed objects to make them unchangeable, the King of the Universe sealed Jesus Christ so that evil could not destroy, change, or alter who He was. How was Jesus sealed? John wrote of Jesus.... ...for God gives the Spirit without limit. (John 3:34, NIV) Paul repeatedly talk about the Holy Spirit's presence being the seal of Christianity: 2Cr 1:22 - Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. Eph 1:13 - In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise. Eph 4:30 - And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Ephesians 4:30 make it abundantly clear that God seals us to keep us until the "day of redemption". The Holy Spirit is given to us so that evil can not destroy, alter, or change us. Conclusion Not once in the New Testament is the Sabbath ever referred to as a sign or a seal for Christians. Just as the Lord's supper celebration replaced the Jewish Passover celebration, so has the Holy Spirit replaced the Sabbath as the "sign" or evidence that a person is one of God's chosen people. Consider this carefully. What is the best way to tell whether or not a person is a true Christian? Is it by what day they go to church on? Even Adventists will tell you that going to church on Saturday does not make someone a Christian. There are some people who go to church on Saturday while they deny their Christian faith by their actions. Their hearts are filled with perversion, hatred, adultery, and idolatry. So what is the best way to tell if a person is a true Christian? By their spirit! If they have the Holy Spirit in their hearts, they will manifest the fruits of the Spirit in their lives: "love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith." These fruits of the indwelling Holy Spirit will be evident to all. These fruits are the true sign of a believer. The Sabbath is not the sign of a true Christian. It never has been. It never will be.

It is not worthy dealing with them. Arguments from Old Testament state an obvious point that there was Sabbath on Old Testament. But is was just a sign. Arguments from the Gospels point to nothing because all the references tells about Jesus' debate with Religious leaders. He corrected their wrong view. The view of this article is no different. Arguments from Acts point to nothing too. They are just references of Jews that met on Sabbath and Paul went to meet them in the day they met. From the epistles he brings only two references that show nothing too. In Col Paul says not acts as Judge for those who do not keep Sabbath. He puts Sabbath with ceremonial law not with moral law. He puts it with foods, days etc. Hebrews 4 uses Sabbath only as an illustration. Also we are told at least in three places in New Testament that Christians meet in the first day of the week or the Lord's day. The Lord's day is the day that Jesus rose from the dead. Someone can also read this great sermon from Jonathan Edward: http://www.biblebb.com/files/edwards/sabbath.htm - Genci Cesula Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:13:12 +0100 http://www.worldslastchance.com/biblical-christian-beliefs/sabbath-in-the-bible.html#comment-8775 sabbath is to be respected as said in the holy scripture, but most people did not repect it and they seit as a resting dayt after a week hard work, it is a day devoted to go to the synagogue (church as so called nowadays) to worship & praise God Almight who been guiding and making us prosper throught the week, lastly which of the days is to be preserved as the sabbath day is it saturday or sunday as there are lot of argument about this. pls i seeking the indulgence of worlds last chance to creat more enlightment about this.

Have u ever considered that Paul was in fact encouraging the Colossians to continue what they were doing (keeping the Sabbaths etc) -- and were being criticized for it by others who were disobedient?? Paul certainly must have been in full compliance with What Christ commanded BEFORE the CROSS in Matthew 23:2-3 (the 7th day Sabbath being unmovable from the 'ALL WHATSOEVER'in MOSES'SEAT) and again AFTER the CROSS - the same 'ALL WHATSOEVER' teach ALL NATIONS ---Jews AND Gentiles -- Matt.28:19-20. Paul gave us the SUMMARY of ALL his writings -- Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

God's character is his law. Sounds like you are saying God has no character. Sounds like you are saying God does not exist. Sounds like you worship sunday sounds like you took the mark of the beast in the forehead. no offense, but no one took God's law away. Everyone has transgressed the law , and all of heaven was sorrow because that means death for man. God can not change his law. Jesus His son had sympathy for us and pleaded to the Father that He would like to die our death, so we can live. That is grace that we have a beautiful family. But , we get back up and dust ourselves off and get back on the path. come on now, don't deceive your own self. tom shalom Glory to Jesus Christ the Amen forever and ever. thats eternity.

We do not keep the commandments to be saved - but BECAUSE we are saved. It is all a matter of our love for Creator Redeemer causing us to obey and be fully surrendered to Him. John makes it plain - Take note - LOVE / COMMANDMENTS -- if you don't keep them yet SAY you LOVE HIM YOU ARE A LIAR!!!! 1 John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. John 14:15 If ye LOVE me, keep my COMMANDMENTS. John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 1 John 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 2 John 1:6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. Stop kicking against the pricks!

In this cheper Paul said , dont judge you saved a day or not , who eat meat or not. You guys want people saved saturday , but saturday dont saved nobody. Faith in Jesus Christ save you and after you need receive the Holy Spirit. If you guys said to me saturday is big the Holy Spirit , your salvation is in dangers . Because the Holy Spirit is the SEAL OF GOD , not saturday. Living the true gospel . How you judge me ??? I am prist the bible. Look this way. I am not judge you, if you want saved saturday amem !But dont input the finger in my face and said if I dont saved I am going to hell. Look what Paul said about it. saturday don saved anybody . Romans 14 1Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. 2For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. 3Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. 4WHO ART THOU THAT JUDGEST ANOTHER MANS SERVANT? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand. 5ONE MAN ESTEEMETH ONE DAY ABOVE ANOTHER: ANOTHER ESTEEMETH EVERY DAY ALIKE.LET EVERY MAN BE FULLY PERSUADED IN HIS OWN MIND. 6He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. 7For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. 8For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. 9For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. 10BUT WHY DOST THOU JUDGE THY BROTHER? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 11For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. 12So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. 13Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. 14I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 15But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. 16Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 17For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 18For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. 19Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. 20For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. 21It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. 22Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. 23And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. Paul : is said if you saved a day amem , dont judge who dont , and the one dont saved dont judge the other. Tha day dont saved anybody. The faith in Jesus Christ saved you. After like Paul said , you need receive the Holy Spirit. I am prist the bible, the only 100% garanty book. Ellen White book is not the book I follow. I am a christian I follow Jesus Christ.Maranata came Jesus Christ the Son of God. - daniel 8 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 03:21:12 +0100
