The Seventh Day is the SABBATH of the Lord thy God Exodus 20:10

[1stcenturylady]

No offense taken. Ever been to Madison Campus church outside of Nashville?

No, only the one in Murfreesboro, if you are talking SDA.

This time around, I've only lived here since fall of 2001. But I took my mother when she visited.

Small world

"The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord Thy God" Exods 20 - also the Sabbath "made for mankind" according to Christ in Mark 2:27.

No wonder then that for all eternity after the cross - in the New Earth "from Sabbath to Sabbath shall ALL mankind come before Me to worship" Isaiah 66:23

 

[BobRyan]

Someone else was determined to derail his own thread -- so posting this comment here --

It is my pleasure to point out that Revelation 14:12 and John 14:15 are both written by the same author. I enjoy quoting him.

So also 1 John 5:2-3 where we find that "This IS the Love of God that we KEEP His Commandments".

So also John 12 and John 14 where John reminds us that Christ speaks only the Commandments given by the Father... not His own Words.

As we already saw here --

John 14
9 Jesus *said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.

John 12
49 For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak. 50 I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.”

Matt 19
17 And He said to him, “Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.” 18 Then he *said to Him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “You shall not commit murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; 19 Honor your father and mother; and You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 20 The young man *said to Him, “All these things I have kept; what am I still lacking?” 21 Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

Reminds me of this --
============================

"The SEVENTH day is the SABBATH of the Lord thy God" Exodus 20:10

The Lord's Day!

“If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath,
From doing your pleasure on My holy day,
And call the Sabbath a delight,
The holy day of the Lord honorable,
And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways,
Nor finding your own pleasure,
Nor speaking your own words," Is 58:13

The Son of man is LORD of the Sabbath day - Mark 2:28

So also the "Sabbath was made for MANKIND" Mark 2:27
From "Sabbath to Sabbath shall ALL MANKIND come before Me to worship" Is 66:23.



Until you read the actual Bible.

There you find that the "NEW Covenant" includes the LAW of God "written on the heart and mind" - Jeremiah 31:31-33.

And in Ephesians 6:2 we find that the 5th Commandment is the "first commandment with a promise" in that still-valid unit of TEN - that scripture calls the "TEN Commandments"

The New Covenant is made with "the house of Israel" and that includes all Christians in Hebrews 8:6-10.


And of course


Ex 20
11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

Gen 2:1-4
Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. 2 And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.
4 This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens
Exodus 20:11

 

[BobRyan]

I don't see any proof that Paul is saying the Sabbath is no longer applicable to Christians.

Also a good point.

 

[BobRyan]

I just love this thread...

God's Sabbath rest that remains is not a 24 hour day of rest

11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

Spoken by God - to the people
Written by God - on stone.

Not "a perpetual, unceasing period of rest" - but rather 6 days of common work and one day of rest - "in real life".

Thus in Isaiah 66 we have TWO cycles for all mankind for all eternity even after the cross... in the New Earth " from New Moon to New Moon AND from Sabbath to Sabbath" not "every day and from New Moon to New Moon" as some have imagined it.

The seventh-day rest was only a temporary shadow .

On the contrary - for all mankind for all eternity even after the cross... in the New Earth - "from Sabbath to Sabbath shall ALL mankind come before Me to worship" Isaiah 66:23

The 7th day weekly Sabbath is a "memorial" not a "shadow".

8 “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work

The argument "oh no it is not" or "oh no the 7th day is not the Sabbath of the LORD" -- is a short-lived argument in a sola-scriptura world.

7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? 9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. 10 For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels. 11 For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

 

[BobRyan]

In Exodus 20:7 we have "do not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain"

7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? 9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. 10 For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels. 11 For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

The Moral law includes the Ten Commandments as both pro-Bible Sabbath and pro-Sunday Scholars affirm.

This means "it is still wrong to take God's name in vain" -- as I think almost all of us would agree.

 

[1stcenturylady]

In Exodus 20:7 we have "do not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain"



The Moral law includes the Ten Commandments as both pro-Bible Sabbath and pro-Sunday Scholars affirm.

This means "it is still wrong to take God's name in vain" -- as I think almost all of us would agree.

Only God can confirm His own Word. Scholars will always contradict each other. God never will.

The ministry of death of 2 Cor. 3 is the law of sin and death of Romans 7 and 8. It was written on stone. It was the Old Covenant, the Ten Commandments Exodus 34:28.

We are not under the law of sin and death IF we walk in the Spirit and follow the Commandments of the New Covenant which are believing in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ and loving our neighbors as ourselves 1 John 3:23. That is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Romans 8:2. Jesus Christ is God. Those truly filled with the Holy Spirit do not obey the flesh, but the Spirit. (Swearing is of the flesh.)

Paul also shows in Galatians 5 what is expected in our New Covenant of the law of the Spirit of life in Christ.

16 "I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery,fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another."

John 15:10 "10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love."

Both of these sets of Commandments (the Commandments of Jesus, and the Commandments of the Father) are both based on the eternal law of God,
“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! 5 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.' 6 And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart."

Therefore when Jeremiah said His laws shall be written on our heart, this is what he foretold - the law of the Spirit of life in Christ. 1 John 3:23 "And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment."

These are a much stricter set of commandments. But Jesus gave us the power to keep walking in love - the Holy Spirit. Those under the Old Covenant of the laws of sin and death only had their own strength to keep the Ten Commandments, but they weren't hard to keep. You just didn't kill anybody, etc. But hating your enemies was permissible. The New Covenant brings us to a whole new level of obedience. It has the power to make us holy, for without holiness, no one will see God.

 

[BobRyan]

In Exodus 20:7 we have "do not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain"

7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? 9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. 10 For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels. 11 For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

The Moral law includes the Ten Commandments as both pro-Bible Sabbath and pro-Sunday Scholars affirm.

This means "it is still wrong to take God's name in vain" -- as I think almost all of us would agree.

Only God can confirm His own Word.

note: I did not say "confirm" I said "Affirm" and - yes, every person is allowed the freedom to "Affirm" what scripture says -- or to contradict it. People have free will.

The ministry of death of 2 Cor. 3 is the law of sin and death of Romans 7 and 8.
It was written on stone. It was the Old Covenant, the Ten Commandments Exodus 34:28.

The LAW that defines sin - as even pro-sunday scholars affirm STILL includes the TEN commandments as Paul admits in Romans 7. That LAW is "written on the heart and mind" under the NEW Covenant as Jeremiah states to his readers in Jer 31:31-33.

Here again - the Bible detail that EVEN pro-sunday scholars affirm.

hence it is "still sin to take God's name in vain"

 

[BobRyan]

John 14
9 Jesus *said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.

John 12
49 For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak. 50 I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.”

Matt 19
17 And He said to him, “Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.” 18 Then he *said to Him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “You shall not commit murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; 19 Honor your father and mother; and You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 20 The young man *said to Him, “All these things I have kept; what am I still lacking?” 21 Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

John 15:10 "10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love."

Both of these sets of Commandments (the Commandments of Jesus, and the Commandments of the Father) are both based on the eternal law of God,
“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! 5 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.' 6 And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart."

Therefore when Jeremiah said His laws shall be written on our heart, this is what he foretold - the law of the Spirit of life in Christ. 1 John 3:23 "And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment."

These are a much stricter set of commandments. But Jesus gave us the power to keep walking in love - the Holy Spirit. Those under the Old Covenant of the laws of sin and death only had their own strength to keep the Ten Commandments, but they weren't hard to keep. You just didn't kill anybody, etc. But hating your enemies was permissible. The New Covenant brings us to a whole new level of obedience. It has the power to make us holy, for without holiness, no one will see God.

Jesus' Word explains and expands on the scriptures - the Commandments of God that HE gave on Sinai -- it does not delete or replace them.

John 14
9 Jesus *said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.

John 12
49 For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak. 50 I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.”

Matt 19
17 And He said to him, “Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.” 18 Then he *said to Him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “You shall not commit murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; 19 Honor your father and mother; and You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 20 The young man *said to Him, “All these things I have kept; what am I still lacking?” 21 Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

Yes, Jesus only taught on the last six commandments. And James exclaims, 8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well; 9 but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty. 13 For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

Deuteronomy 6:4-6
4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. 6 “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart.

Bob, what is the law of liberty? It is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ. Again, I ask you have you ever been baptized in the Holy Spirit? I went to church for 30 years before I was. Not everyone going to church, no matter what denomination, has actually received the power of God.

It won't matter "which ones" if you have never been baptized in the Holy Spirit. For he who does not have the Spirit of Christ doesn't belong to Him.

Romans 8:9

 

[BobRyan]

Yes, Jesus only taught on the last six commandments. .

Jesus said there are two great commandments in Matt 22... not "just one".
Jesus said the first and foremost is "Love God with all your heart" Deut 6:6 -- Matt 22:37

No NT writer suggests deleting that one - or any of the first 4 commandments that it stands for.

Thus it is "still wrong" for Christians to take God's name in vain.

Obviously.

(So obvious in fact that even the pro-Sunday scholars admit to this Bible detail)

 

[BobRyan]

Deuteronomy 6:4-6
4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. 6 “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart.

Bob, what is the law of liberty? It is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ.

But it is not the "Law of ignore the Word of God... Ignore scripture... take God's name in vain".

I think we all get this easy-to-see Bible detail. Even the pro-Sunday scholars get this.

 

[Bob S]

Hi Bob, it is funy that you continue to use "pro Sunday scholars" you know, the ones your prophet had the worst names for. How could any truth come out of Babylon yet you use us to try to prove your point.

Well, I have some news for you. My Bible has, I believe, one of the most powerful verses providing how Christians are to live and it is not what you have been posting. I have posted it in every post I have made and it gets overlooked by you and all those who are trying, in some way, to spread keeping the old covenant. The way we are to live is found in 1JN3:19-24. I will post the entire verses that give us the real light on how we are to live.

19 This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence: 20 If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. 21 Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God 22 and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. 23 And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. 24 The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

Jesus is God and His commands to Christians are to believe and love others as He loves us. It is a shame that you are trying to spread the 10 commandments when there is a new command that supersedes the 10 commands by a multitude. For once Ellen White wrote the truth. Those "pro Sunday scholars" who so vividly spread the 10 commandments were of Babylon.

I guess being Babylon was a bad thing to be.

 

[BobRyan]

Hi Bob, it is funy that you continue to use "pro Sunday scholars"

No. It is "funny" that anyone would not admit that these groups represent pro-sunday scholars

The Baptist Confession of Faith,
the Westminster Confession of Faith ,
D.L. Moody,
R.C Sproul,
Matthew Henry,
Thomas Watson
Eastern Orthodox Catechism
The Catholic Catechism.

I think you and I can both admit to that obvious "detail"

Even "more funny" that such a person would not admit that this is a perfect example of how they themselves affirm all TEN of the TEN Commandments - by their own statements

Here we have section 19 of the Westminster - and of course you already have a few posts of mine quoting the "Baptist Confession of Faith"

Westminster Confession of Faith Section 19

"Westminster Confession of Faith"

Chapter XIX
Of the Law of God​

I. God gave to Adam a law, as a covenant of works, by which He bound him and all his posterity, to personal, entire, exact, and perpetual obedience, promised life upon the fulfilling, and threatened death upon the breach of it, and endued him with power and ability to keep it.

II. This law, after his fall, continued to be a perfect rule of righteousness; and, as such, was delivered by God upon Mount Sinai, in ten commandments, and written in two tables: the first four commandments containing our duty towards God; and the other six, our duty to man.
III. Besides this law, commonly called moral, God was pleased to give to the people of Israel, as a church under age, ceremonial laws, containing several typical ordinances, partly of worship, prefiguring Christ, His graces, actions, sufferings, and benefits;l and partly, holding forth divers instructions of moral duties. All which ceremonial laws are now abrogated, under the New Testament

IV. To them also, as a body politic, He gave sundry judicial laws, which expired together with the State of that people; not obliging under any now, further than the general equity thereof may require.

V. The moral law does forever bind all, as well justified persons as others, to the obedience thereof; and that, not only in regard of the matter contained in it, but also in respect of the authority of God the Creator, who gave it. Neither does Christ, in the Gospel, any way dissolve, but much strengthen this obligation.
VI. Although true believers be not under the law, as a covenant of works, to be thereby justified, or condemned; yet is it of great use to them, as well as to others; in that, as a rule of life informing them of the will of God, and their duty, it directs and binds them to walk accordingly; discovering also the sinful pollutions of their nature, hearts and lives; so as, examining themselves thereby, they may come to further conviction of, humiliation for, and hatred against sin, together with a clearer sight of the need they have of Christ, and the perfection of His obedience It is likewise of use to the regenerate, to restrain their corruptions, in that it forbids sin: and the threatenings of it serve to show what even their sins deserve; and what afflictions, in this life, they may expect for them, although freed from the curse thereof threatened in the law The promises of it, in like manner, show them God's approbation of obedience,and what blessings they may expect upon the performance thereof: although not as due to them by the law as a covenant of works. So as, a man's doing good, and refraining from evil, because the law encourages to the one and deters from the other, is no evidence of his being under the law: and not under grace

VII. Neither are the forementioned uses of the law contrary to the grace of the Gospel, but do sweetly comply with it; the Spirit of Christ subduing and enabling the will of man to do that freely, and cheerfully, which the will of God, revealed in the law, requires to be done.


"it just does not GET any easier than that!".
==============================================================​

Section 21 of the Westminster and Section 22 of the Baptist both address point 7 "the change" the edit of the Sabbath commandment from the 7th day starting from creation and all through the OT and NT Gospel until the cross where it is "changed" in their mind -- to point to week-day-1.

 

[BobRyan]

And on "this thread" we have the weekly cycle - Saturday, 7th day Sabbath of the Bible being affirmed.

Like this.

"The SEVENTH day is the SABBATH of the Lord thy God" Exodus 20:10

The Lord's Day!

“If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath,
From doing your pleasure on My holy day,
And call the Sabbath a delight,
The holy day of the Lord honorable,
And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways,
Nor finding your own pleasure,
Nor speaking your own words," Is 58:13

The Son of man is LORD of the Sabbath day - Mark 2:28

So also the "Sabbath was made for MANKIND" Mark 2:27
From "Sabbath to Sabbath shall ALL MANKIND come before Me to worship" Is 66:23.



Until you read the actual Bible.

There you find that the "NEW Covenant" includes the LAW of God "written on the heart and mind" - Jeremiah 31:31-33.

And in Ephesians 6:2 we find that the 5th Commandment is the "first commandment with a promise" in that still-valid unit of TEN - that scripture calls the "TEN Commandments"

The New Covenant is made with "the house of Israel" and that includes all Christians in Hebrews 8:6-10.


And of course


Ex 20
11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

Gen 2:1-4
Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. 2 And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.
4 This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens
Exodus 20:11

 

[1stcenturylady]

Jesus said there are two great commandments in Matt 22... not "just one".
Jesus said the first and foremost is "Love God with all your heart" Deut 6:6 -- Matt 22:37

No NT writer suggests deleting that one - or any of the first 4 commandments that it stands for.

Thus it is "still wrong" for Christians to take God's name in vain.

Obviously.

(So obvious in fact that even the pro-Sunday scholars admit to this Bible detail)

I meant, as far as the Ten Commandments, Jesus only taught on the last six. But He made them stricter. Murder changed to mere hate. Adultery changed to mere lust. We are to love God with all our strength, mind and body, and love our neighbor as ourselves. But most of all to believe on Him.

1 John 3:23 are the New Covenant Commandments.

Without holiness, no man shall see God.
