Sabbath Keepers forum

[bugkiller]

bugkiller, you have the wrong idea. SDA's and Messinaics are major denomination and movements. we are talking a place for smaller groups like the seventh-day chruch of god or 7 day Baptist or Sabbath keeping christian chruch. I am a sabbath keeper and I am not part of either group. it would be nice to have a place to meet other NON sda and NON messianic. a sabbath sub forum would meet that need.

I would not mind one bit if there was a seperate subforum for the various small 7th day movements. Their participation levels here do not warrant a seperate sub forum for each of them individually.

What we are asking for here is a debate subforum dedicated specifically to the sabbath and not a religious group of people.

I think you folks are off base on the OP. Nothing unusual for me.

I hope the rules of engagement on the new forum is against any postings against the Sabbath. I hope that this will be a safe haven for Sabbath keepers. IT is a whole different life style and relationship with their Creator and Redeemer for those who keep it.

That is more the norm for the safe-haven sub-forums. I must admit.

I tried to find some worldwide membership statistics on those 2 Denominations/Congregations.
Not sure why those 2 just don't join together and they would be a more formidal challenge to the non-saturday sabbath keeping Christians, esp. the RCC.
They both appear to have started within the last 2 centuries.

Seventh-day Adventist Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a Protestant Christian denomination distinguished by its observance of Saturday, the original seventh day of the Judeo-Christian week, as the Sabbath, and by its emphasis on the imminent second coming (Advent) of Jesus Christ and was formally established in 1863.

The world church is governed by a General Conference, with smaller regions administered by divisions, union conferences and local conferences. It currently has a worldwide baptized membership of about 16.3 million people.
As of May 2007, it was the twelfth-largest religious body in the world, and the sixth-largest highly international religious body.

Messianic Judaism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Messianic Judaism is a syncretic religious movement that arose in the 1960s and 70s.
It blends evangelical Christian theology with elements of religious Jewish practice and terminology. Messianic Judaism generally holds that Jesus is both the Jewish Messiah and "God the Son" (one person of the Trinity), though some within the movement do not hold to Trinitarian beliefs.
With few exceptions, both the Tanakh and the New Testament are believed to be authoritative and divinely inspired scripture.

From 2003 to 2007, the movement grew from 150 Messianic houses of worship in the United States to as many as 438, with over 100 in Israel and more worldwide; congregations are often affiliated with larger Messianic organizations or alliances.[31][32]
In 2008, the movement was reported to have between 6,000 and 15,000 members in Israel and 250,000 in the United States.

You do know that it was the 7th-day Baptists that got Adventist attention on the subject of the 4th commandment - and set us straight - right?

If someone wants to blame someone besides God the Holy Spirit for the 7th day aspect of Adventists - then the blame falls to the 7th-day Baptists who got the attention of Adventist leaders such as Thomas Preble and Joseph Bates, pointing out that the Sabbath as given by God points to Saturday and that Sunday keeping in the NT does not qualify as Bible Sabbath keeping.j

So Rachel Oaks (A Seventh-day Baptist) attends one of our Sunday services - and what does she do at the end of the service?? Shares her faith with the Pastor on the subject of God's 4th commandment and what day it really points to for Christians after the cross! In so doing she turned an entire denomination toward the light of God's Word on the subject of His Holy day -- "The Holy Day of the Lord" Isaiah 58.

so in a way you could consider the 25 million or so in attendance each Sabbath in Seventh-day Adventist churches to be an extension of the Seventh-day Baptist church!

Notice in the prior post above you find this quote

The 7th-day Baptist reading that statement could easily say "hey wait a second - I could plug in Seventh-day Baptist into that statement and it would be just as true if not more so since we handed this to the SDAs".

in Christ,

Bob

So if we were to have this fellowship forum we could have questions from non sabbath keepers but I recommend against debate, keep debate in the general theology forum, but welcome questions of any kind


How does that sound?

autonomy in the structure for one will stop this from ever happening, and we haven't even got into the doctrinal differences...lol.. they couldn't even agree on Sabbath keeping styles.... one sees only the weekly... and the other sees all of Lev 23 Sabbaths... One sees only 10 commandments,.. the other sees all 213 in Yeshua's revised upgrade,..

I believe the Sabbath and Law threads should have a completely seperate board on GT for debating.
I noticed there are some sabbath threads on the Covenant Theology board.

http://www.christianforums.com/f565/

Perhaps put a sub-board on that board, since a lot of Christians do view the Sabbath of the OT and the Sabbath of the NC as Covenantle Covenants I think.
At least I do

 

[visionary]

We can not separate and classify all the debatable parts into sub-forms.. they would be no end.

 

[Tishri1]

it looks like this is a go.....lemme work on getting it made for everyone



I will start a thread in there on basic things in a few days and post the link here

 

[Gregory Thompson]

that sounds like a great idea .

Sorry I just had seen it mentioned Sabbath keepers.

 

[Tishri1]

Oh yeah we had a request for a forum like this back some time.

 

[DarylFawcett]

Sorry I just had seen it mentioned Sabbath keepers.

Are you asking because you are a Sabbath keeper who would like to see a Sabbath Keepers forum for the reason that you don't identify with any of the forums here that keep the Seventh-day Sabbath???
