In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

No, it is not. Friday sundown to Saturday sundown is. I believe the Lord's Day, referred to once in the Bible, is also Friday sundown to Saturday sundown.

Where does it say that in the bible?

Those who require observation of the law issued to Israel are putting wine in old wine skins.

I agree brother.

“Jesus replied, “‘You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22:37-40‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Based on my research the modern day Friday sundown to Saturday sundown is the 7th day which the Hebrews observed as the Sabbath.

Yes this is true that Moses picked Saturday but it is not stated in the bible that was the day that God commanded

It is the day the LORD rested from creation, the 7th day. God wrote the Ten Commandments with His own finger.

It would be pretty sad if all doctors kept the Saturday sabbath. No sorry I can't administer treatment to you it's against God's commandment. :(

Why can't Sunday be the sabbath?

The law doesn't say the first day is the Sabbath; it says the 7th day is the Sabbath. However, we are no longer under the law. The Sabbath was a foreshadow of Jesus who gives us rest, not any day of the week, Saturday or Sunday.

They could as Jesus said to do good on the Sabbath. So as long as they don't get paid for it they can treat someone who is sick. I'd like to see that! ;)

So when the calendar was created they started it on the same day God started creation? I didn't know the calendar was inspired by God.

God commanded that we have 6 days to work and on the 7th day we must rest. He never said the 7th day of the week. Nowhere in the bible does it say that God commanded a specific day of rest.

Why is it so important to get this right?

Sin is the transgression of the law.

Therefore if you observe the law you do not commit sin. If you fail to observe the law you do commit sin:

Therefore no one will be declared righteous/ justified in his sight by observing the law/ not committing sin. Rather through the law we become conscious of sin
Rom3:20
This seems artificial. It is narrow or a reduction. The gentile don't have the law, so they apparently can't sin.

There is blasphemy of the HS which is not one of the commands of the law.

We want to be careful of these analogies. If we produce a false analogy we can end up destroying God's revelation.

I would need to see more evidence of your narrow definition and its ramifications before I could sign-on to this view.

“Those who feel free to eat anything must not look down on those who don’t. And those who don’t eat certain foods must not condemn those who do, for God has accepted them. Who are you to condemn someone else’s servants? Their own master will judge whether they stand or fall. And with the Lord’s help, they will stand and receive his approval. In the same way, some think one day is more holy than another day, while others think every day is alike. You should each be fully convinced that whichever day you choose is acceptable. Those who worship the Lord on a special day do it to honor him. Those who eat any kind of food do so to honor the Lord, since they give thanks to God before eating. And those who refuse to eat certain foods also want to please the Lord and give thanks to God.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭14:3-6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Well emergency services would still need to work as Jesus healed on the Sabbath.

Hi Friend,

I do not think anyone is proposing that anyone is saved by keeping God's commandments. Simply if you love Jesus he will change your heart to follow him. This is the New Covenant (Eze 36:26-27; Heb 8:10-12). This includes the 7th Day Sabbath which is one of the 10.

In Christ!
Strange comment. Did you read the passage I quoted? It is not about being saved, it is about how you live your Chrisian life once you are saved.

Those who think they mature in Christ by following the law after being saved are called by Paul,

BEWITCHED

FOOLISH

IGNORANT

in the same book chapter 5 he then contrasts life by following leading of the HS (5:22-23)
