THE SABBATH IS GOD'S 4th COMMANDMENT - WHERE IS THE SCRIPTURE THAT SAYS IT IS ABOLISHED?

[ace of hearts]

This is simply sad for you now, Please post a link anywhere in this forum where I have ever posted we have to keep the law for salvation? OBEDIENCE to God's LAW (10 Commandments) is the fruit of FAITH that work by LOVE in those who are BORN AGAIN *ROMANS 13:8-10; 1 JOHN 3:3-10; JOHN 14:15; JOHN 3:15-21 and is the NEW COVENANT promise *HEBREWS 8:10-12.

I'll do better than that here's a perfect example in a whole post -

All who continue in KNOWN UNREPENTANT sin will not enter into God's KINGDOM *HEBREWS 10:26-27 because the wages of sin is death to all those who reject the gift of God's dear son to continue in known unrepentant sin *ROMANS 6:23.

Obedience to the covenant given to Israel will get you a big fat zero. Since the Christian isn't under that covenant there's no sin or violation of that covenant for not being in compliance with it.

My Bible says -

Jn 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

This is a reference to eternal life.

And my Bible also says -

Jn 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

and -

Jn 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

No one will get into heaven by any relationship with the law.

We are saved ONLY by GRACE through faith and not of ourselves it is a gift of God *EPHESIANS 2:8. All those who CONTINUE in KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN will not enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN *HEBREWS 10:26-27 because they reject the gift of God's dear son *ROMANS 6:23.

Then you turn right around and say keeping the law (specifically meaning the 4th commandment) is required to enter heaven. That can be the only sin you have in mind from the information you possess or have access to. Anyone can easily see you're double minded and unstable in all your ways as the Scripture says.

OBEDIENCE to God's LAW is not how we are saved it is the FRUIT of God's work in us as we BELIEVE and FOLLOW his WORD. If our faith has no fruit it is dead *JAMES 2:18-20; 26 and our tree will be cast down and thrown into the fire *MATTHEW 3:10; 7:19-20; 13:49-50.

You just said above not keeping the law will keep an individual out of heaven. Salvation is required to get in. Law keeping isn't. Salvation is righteousness by declaration of God and nothing else. See Romans 4 about Abraham and King David.

However, If we are breaking anyone of God's Commandments then we are not BELIEVING and FOLLOWING God's WORD and do not KNOW him.

This is a reinforcement of your above comments.

1 JOHN 2:3-4
[3], And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
[4], He that said, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

This is clearly talking about the commandments of Jesus Christ the Righteous which you have refused to include in your discussion in previous posts. That is found in verse 1 which you've also quoted in a couple other posts. You were directly asked about that sentence by me, twice.

 

[ace of hearts]

Depends what laws your referring to. The MOSAIC SHADOW laws from the MOSAIC BOOK of the OLD COVENANT *EXODUS 24:7; DEUTERONOMY 31:24-26 is fulfilled in Christ and God's plan of salvation in the NEW COVENANT.

God's ETERNAL LAW (10 commandments) according to God's WORD has the same role that it always had and that is to give us the KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and EVIL; SIN and RIGHTOUESNESS *ROMANS 3:20; ROMANS 7:7; 1 JOHN 3:4; PSALMS 119:172.

If we break anyone of God's 10 commandments we stand guilty before God of SIN *JAMES 2:10-11. God's 4th Commandment is one of the 10 Commandments that give us the KNOWLEDGE of SIN if broken *EXODUS 20:8-11. According to God's WORD, all those who CONTINUE in KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN will not enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN *HEBREWS 10:26-27 because they reject the gift of God's dear son *ROMANS 6:23.

Hope this helps

It depends on nothing. Jeremiah spoke of the whole covenant. Besides that Moses says very clearly the covenant is written on two stone tablets in Deut 4:13. That can't be anything less than the famous 10.

 

[ace of hearts]

Not really. JESUS met with his disciples everyday especially on the SABBATH. Jesus met everyday with his disciples as they were mostly with him and the custom of JESUS was to keep the SABBATH.

Prove it. I said the only day mentioned is the first day of the week. That's backed by Scripture. There's no evidence Jesus met with them on the sabbath. If so post it cause I want to see that verse that doesn't appear in my Bible.

 

[ace of hearts]

You are confused by mixing up your shadow laws with those that are eternal. The purpose of God's ETERNAL LAW (10 commandmants) in the NEW COVENANT has the same role it always had and that is to give us the KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and EVIL; SIN and RIGHTOUESNESS *ROMANS 3:20; ROMANS 7:7; 1 JOHN 3:4; PSALMS 119:172. If we break anyone of God's 10 commandments we stand guilty before God of SIN *JAMES 2:10-11. God's 4th Commandment is one of the 10 Commandments that give us the KNOWLEDGE of SIN if broken *EXODUS 20:8-11. According to God's WORD, all those who CONTINUE in KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN will not enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN *HEBREWS 10:26-27 because they reject the gift of God's dear son *ROMANS 6:23.

Prove it from the texts I referenced. Like you claim I don't talk about your texts, where's the talk about my texts?

 

[ace of hearts]

Not at all you are confused. We are saved by GRACE through faith and not of ourselves it is a gift of God *EPHESIANS 2:8. All those who CONTINUE in KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN will not enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN *HEBREWS 10:26-27 because they reject the gift of God's dear son *ROMANS 6:23. OBEDIENCE to God's LAW is not how we are saved it is the FRUIT of God's work in us as we BELIEVE and FOLLOW his WORD. If our faith has no fruit it is dead *JAMES 2:18-20; 26 and our tree will be cast down and thrown into the fire *MATTHEW 3:10; 7:19-20; 13:49-50.

So you repeat the same post claiming something that isn't true.

You reference Eph 2:8 which is good enough to make my point and you still require works of the law for salvation. Salvation doesn't include the covenant given in the desert upon departure from Egypt.

There's so many great passages to back my point and perhaps none do it better than -

Gal 3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

The just (righteous) don't live by the law.

 

[ace of hearts]

Doesn't make any sense to what you are quoting from.

Please explain in detail why from that verse.

 

[ace of hearts]

Not at all. The Sabbath was not made for the JEWS. JESUS says it was made for ALL MANKIND *MARK 2:27.

Tell us why Moses didn't say that.

There was NO JEWS and NO ISRAEL when the SABBATH was made for man in the creation week was there *GENESIS 2:1-3?

The sabbath wasn't made in Gen 2:1-3. The 4th commandments clearly says in Exodus "wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day" and in Deuteronomy " And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.

No one prior to this event was required to keep the sabbath. It isn't even mention until Ex 16.

The sabbath is a periodic physical rest from labor. God did not involve Himself in a periodic event in Gen 2. The rest God involved Himself in was a permanent event happening only once for Him. It's this same rest Jesus provides and invited sabbath keepers into.

God's SABBATH was made on the SEVENTH DAY of the creation week. Man (Adam and Eve) were created on the SIXTH day of the creation week. There was NO SIN and mankind was in perfect harmony with GOD. JESUS says that the SABBATH was made for mankind *MARK 2:27.

Again tell us why Moses didn't say this.

Christians have celebrated God's SABBATH as a memorial of God's creation from the beginning to now unbroken to this very present day because of our faith and LOVE to God.

Some Christians celebrate a form of the sabbath. No Christian observe the 4th commandment as written. So the reality is a man made tradition is being followed, Not the Scripture.

 

[ace of hearts]

Sadly this is true for many. Unfortunately these will find out when it is too late *JOHN 12:47-48. Many will be dissappoined come judgment day *MATTHEW 7:13-23

Very true for you. You don't want us to notice the passages I bring up. You won't even talk about them.

 

[ace of hearts]

Sin (breaking God's LAW) will keep all those who KNOWINGLY practice it out of God's KINGDOM *HEBREWS 10:26-27 because they reject the gift of God's dear son *ROMANS 6:23.

There you go requiring law keeping to attain and maintain salvation. I just can't believe you say not by works and demand works. You have referenced Eph 2:8 a few times.

 

[LoveGodsWord]

I'll do better than that here's a perfect example in a whole post -

This is simply sad for you now, Please post a link anywhere in this forum where I have ever posted we have to keep the law for salvation? OBEDIENCE to God's LAW (10 Commandments) is the fruit of FAITH that work by LOVE in those who are BORN AGAIN *ROMANS 13:8-10; 1 JOHN 3:3-10; JOHN 14:15; JOHN 3:15-21 and is the NEW COVENANT promise *HEBREWS 8:10-12.

Obedience to the covenant given to Israel will get you a big fat zero. Since the Christian isn't under that covenant there's no sin or violation of that covenant for not being in compliance with it.

God's WORD disagrees with you. God's ETERNAL LAW (10 commandments) has the same role that it always had and that is to give us the KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and EVIL; SIN and RIGHTOUESNESS *ROMANS 3:20; ROMANS 7:7; 1 JOHN 3:4; PSALMS 119:172. According to God's WORD in the NEW COVENANT if we break ANY ONE of God's 10 commandments we stand guilty before GOD of SIN *JAMES 2:10-11. Those who CONTINUE in KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN will not enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN because they reject the gift of God's dear son *ROMANS 6:23. God's 4th Commandment is one of God's 10 Commandments *EXODUS 20:8-11 that give is the KNOWLEDGE of what SIN is when broken.

God's ISRAEL in the NEW COVENANT are all those who BELIEVE and FOLLOW God's WORD. If you are not a part of God's ISRAEL you have no part in the NEW COVENANT *HEBREWS 8:10-12. Gentiles are now grafted in *ROMANS 11:13-27.

My Bible says - Jn 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. This is a reference to eternal life.

No one is BELIEVING Gods WORD if they do not follow it. The DEVILS BELIEVE and tremble *JAMES 2:19 but they will not be going to Heaven. God's WORD does not teach lawlessness.
1 JOHN 2:3-4 [3], And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
[4], He that said, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

Those who CONTINUE in KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN will not enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN because they reject the gift of God's dear son *ROMANS 6:23.

And my Bible also says - Jn 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. Jn 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

No one goes through the door without entering it. The same if we are not BELIEVING God's WORD if we are not following God's WORD *JAMES 2:18-20; 26; 1 JOHN 2:3-4; 1 JOHN 3:3-9; JAMES 2:10-11; HEBREWS 8:10-11. Yep many are going to be disappointed come judgment day.

No one will get into heaven by any relationship with the law.

Your confused. We are saved ONLY by GRACE through faith and not of ourselves it is a gift of God *EPHESIANS 2:8. All those who CONTINUE in KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN however will not enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN *HEBREWS 10:26-27 because they reject the gift of God's dear son *ROMANS 6:23. We are saved from sin not to continue in sin *JOHN 8:31-36. God's WORD does not teach lawlessness. Those who do and teach lawlessness according to God's WORD are lieing and do not KNOW God *1 JOHN 2:3-4; 1 JOHN 3:6 and need to be BORN AGAIN *1 JOHN 3:9.

Then you turn right around and say keeping the law (specifically meaning the 4th commandment) is required to enter heaven.

No one who CONTINUES in KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN will enter the KINGDOM of HEAVEN *HEBREWS 10:26-27 because they reject the gift of God's dear son *ROMANS 6:23. God's 4th Commandment is one of God's 10 Commandments *EXODUS 20:8-11 that give is the KNOWLEDGE of what SIN is when broken.

Anyone can easily see you're double minded and unstable in all your ways as the Scripture says.

A double minded man thinks they are following God while living like the Devil. No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon *MARK 6:24. The wages of SIN is death to all those who reject the gift of God's dear son *ROMANS 6:23; HEBREWS 10:26-27. Yep many are going to be disappointed come judgment day *MATTHEW 7:13-23.

You just said above not keeping the law will keep an individual out of heaven. Salvation is required to get in. Law keeping isn't. Salvation is righteousness by declaration of God and nothing else. See Romans 4 about Abraham and King David. This is a reinforcement of your above comments.

We are saved by GRACE through faith and not of ourselves it is a gift of God *EPHESIANS 2:8. Those who are still in their SINS do not KNOW God and need to be BORN AGAIN into the NEW COVENANT promise *HEBREWS 8:10-12; 1 JOHN 2:3-4; 1 JOHN 3:3-10.

This is clearly talking about the commandments of Jesus Christ the Righteous which you have refused to include in your discussion in previous posts. That is found in verse 1 which you've also quoted in a couple other posts. You were directly asked about that sentence by me, twice.

1 JOHN 2:3-4 has been addressed to your claims already. Your response was to simply not respond and ignore the post and the scriptures in them showing they purpose of JOHNS post in v1 was that we SIN not. SIN is breaking of anyone of God's 10 Commandments *1 JOHN 2:1; ROMANS 7:7; JAMES 2:10-11; 1 JOHN 3:4; ROMANS 3:20. Yep SIN is in reference to breaking any one of God's 10 commandments. This is the reason for JOHNS epistle as shown in 1 JOHN 2:1-4. Yep many are going to be disappointed come judgment day *MATTHEW 7:13-23.

Hope this helps

Brother, you did not address the post and the scriptures in them that disagree with you. Ignoring God's WORD does not make it magically disappear. If you do not know what the OLD COVENANT was how can you know what the NEW COVENANT is that the OLD COVENENT pointed to? You mix up your SHADOW laws from the MOSIAC BOOK of the OLD COVENANT *EXODUS 24:7 with God's ETERNAL LAW (10 commandments) in the NEW COVENANT that give us the KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and EVIL; SIN and RIGHTEOUSNESS *ROMANS 3:20; ROMANS 7:7; 1 JOHN 3:4; PSALMS 119:172. If you have no KNOWLEDGE of what SIN is you have no need of a Saviour.

 

[LoveGodsWord]

Prove it. I said the only day mentioned is the first day of the week. That's backed by Scripture. There's no evidence Jesus met with them on the sabbath. If so post it cause I want to see that verse that doesn't appear in my Bible.

What is your argument now? Are you saying that JESUS did not travel with the his disciples?
Hmm no evidence?

MATTHEW 12:1 [1], At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungered, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat.

Now let's be honest if you want to play this game. Where does it say in God's WORD that God's 4th Commandment is now abolsihed and we are now commanded to keep Sunday as a Holy day?

Are you claiming that the disciples of JESUS did not meet with him everyday of the week?

Your claim that Sunday is special because you say JESUS met the disciples on Sunday? What scripture and why do you claim it is special when JESUS met with the disciples every day?

The first day (Sunday) is mentioned in the NEW TESTAMENT scriptures 8 times (6 of these verses are to the same scripture reference in the Gospels) while God's SABBATH that he BLESSED and made HOLY and is one of the 10 commandment is mentioned 60 times alone in the NEW TESTAMENT and 112 in the OLD TESTAMENT. Does that mean that God's 4th commandment that he BLESSED and made HOLY and commands us to keep is more special then your Sunday reference?

 

[LoveGodsWord]

You are only posting your own words while ignoring God's WORD that is only share in love to you as a help. Ignoring God's WORD will not make any of it dissappear brother. *JOHN 12:47-48.

Please explain in detail why from that verse.

Why do you expect me to explain in detail why your post does not respond to the quote you are responding to when I do not know what you are referring to?

 

[LoveGodsWord]

Tell us why Moses didn't say that.

He did. Read it for yourself here..

GENESIS 2:1-3 [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 made it HOLY <the 7th day>: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

 

[LoveGodsWord]

The sabbath wasn't made in Gen 2:1-3. The 4th commandments clearly says in Exodus "wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day" and in Deuteronomy " And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.

What is BLESSED and MADE HOLY for man in GENESIS 2:1-3; MARK 2:27? Let's look at the scriptures now.

WHY WAS THE SABBATH MADE?

MARK 2:27 And he said to them, THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN, and not man for the sabbath:

WHEN WAS THE SABBATH MADE?

GENESIS 2:1-3 [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 made it HOLY <the 7th day>: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

WORD STUDIES ON REST AND SABBATH MEANINGS

EXODUS 20:8-11 [8], REMEMBER the SABBATH DAY, to KEEP IT HOLY. <Why?> [Because God made it Holy for mankind and commands us to keep it as a Holy day] [9], Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: [10], But the SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH of the LORD thy God [This is a direct reference from God's Word defining what the Sabbath is; The SABBATH = the SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK]: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: <WHY> [11], For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the SEVENTH DAY: wherefore the LORD BLESSED THE SABBATH, and HALLOWED IT.

* The reason for the Sabbath Commandment is to REMEMBER the God of creation. He rested on the SEVENTH DAY of the WEEK, BLESSED the SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK and made it a HOLY DAY that no work is to be done. v11 Refers back to Genesis 2:1-3 and the origin of the Sabbath.

v8 shows that this commandment is a MEMORIAL of creation v11 [the reason for the 4th commandment]. Let's now look at the origin of God's 4th commandment...

GENESIS 2:1-3 [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 made it HOLY <the 7th day>: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

Genesis 2:1-3 is a direct link to Exodus 20:11 as the reason God's 4th commandment was given in the creation week on the SEVENTH DAY.

Now take a look at the word REST highlighted and underlined in Genesis 2:2. The HEBREW word used here for RESTED is the root word used in EXODUS 20:8-11.

RESTED 7673. שָׁבַת shâbath, shaw-bath´; a prim. root; to repose, i.e. desist from exertion; used in many impl. relations (caus., fig. or spec.):—(cause to, let, make to) cease, celebrate, cause (make) to fail, keep sabbath, suffer to be lacking, leave, put away (down), (make to) rest, rid, still, take away.

The word RESTED used above in Genesis 2 is the root word used of the 4th Commandment. This word means to "KEEP SABBATH" to desist from exertion [context is work or ending work and blessing and making the SEVENTH DAY a HOLY DAY].

Now let's look at the HEBREW word used for SABBATH in EXODUS 20:8-11.

SABBATH 7676. שַׁבָּת shabbâth, shab-bawth´; intens. from 7673; intermission, i.e. (spec.) the Sabbath: every sabbath.

The SABBATH as defined in God's Word as v10 The SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD YOUR GOD because God BLESSED the SEVENTH DAY in the creation week outlined in GENESIS 2:1-3 and made the SEVENTH DAY a HOLY DAY of rest [שָׁבַת shâbath] [keep Sabbath]. The word used in the God's 4th Commandment "SABBATH" means the commandment is applied to EVERY SEVENTH DAY [שַׁבָּת shabbâth].

Will continue a little more...

 

[LoveGodsWord]

Let's look at the scriptures here a little further....

The 4th commandment of the 10 Commandments is a MEMORIAL of CREATION and a sign to his people that they worship the only true God of CREATION. This is an EVERLASTING COVENANT between God and his people.

EXODUS 31:13-17 [13], Speak also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths you shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that you may know that I am the LORD that does sanctify you. [14], You shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defiles it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever does any work on it, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. [15], Six days may work be done; but on the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever does any work on the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. [16], Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a EVERLASTING covenant. [17], It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

New Living Translation
The people of Israel must keep the Sabbath day by observing it from generation to generation. This is a covenant obligation for all time.

English Standard Version
Therefore the people of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, observing the Sabbath throughout their generations, as a covenant forever.

New American Standard Bible
'So the sons of Israel shall observe the sabbath, to celebrate the sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant.'

King James Bible
Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.

Christian Standard Bible
The Israelites must observe the Sabbath, celebrating it throughout their generations as a permanent covenant.

Douay-Rheims Bible
Let the children of Israel keep the sabbath, and celebrate it in their generations. It is an everlasting covenant

Darby Bible Translation
And the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations -- [it is] an everlasting covenant.

Now all of this links into the next key scripture as follows

............................

ISAIAH 66:22-23 [22], For as the NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH, which I will make, shall remain before me, says the LORD, so shall your descendants and your name remain. [23], And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and FROM ONE SABBATH TO ANOTHER, shall all flesh come to worship before me, says the LORD.

............................

CONCLUSION: Yep the scriptures are pretty clear here that God's SABBATH is an EVERLASTING COVENANT that will be kept in the NEW EARTH that began in Genesis 2:1-3 in the SEVENTH DAY of the creation week. God's 4th Commandment Sabbath is one of the 10 Commandments that give us a KNOWLEDGE of what sin is of broken.

................

SIN is still the same as it has always been which is the breaking of God's Commandments (James 2:9-11; Romans 7:7; 1 John 3:4)

Those who CONTINUE in UNREPENTANT SIN will NOT enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN.

................

God's 4th commandment is one of the ten (Exodus 20:8-11) If we knowingly break it when God asks us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (James 2:8-12). If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness we are in danger of the Judgement (Hebrews 10:26-27)

Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has led many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (Matthew 15:3-9)

There is not one scripture in all of God's Word that says that God's 4th Commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to KEEP Sunday as a Holy day.

Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of men or the Word of God? Who should we believe the Words of men or the Word of God?

Hope this helps.

No one prior to this event was required to keep the sabbath. It isn't even mention until Ex 16.

Could you please provide me the scripture brother that says no one was required to keep God's Sabbath prior to EXODUS 16? You cannot can you? Your argument is an argument in silence and presumption. Yet we read in the scriptures that before the written WORD of GOD was given there was SPOKEN WORD of GOD.

The people before EXODUS had the spoken WORD of GOD and obeyed all of God’s laws. Let’s look at the scriptures. In GENESIS 2:1-3 we see the ORIGEN of the SABBATH which GOD said that on the SEVENTH DAY of the creation week he RESTED and BLESSED and setting it apart from the other days of the week he made it a HOLY DAY as JESUS says for all mankind *GENESIS 2:1-3; MARK 2:27. Mankind was created on the 6th day of the week *GENESIS 1:26-28. The SABBATH was made before sin and the fall of mankind and kept with ADAM and EVE in the garden of Eden. This is shown in the words of Jesus himself as he says that the SABBATH was made for mankind *MARK 2:27.

If God created mankind on the 6th DAY of the creation week and made the SABBATH on the SEVENTH DAY of the creation week for mankind then ADAM and EVE kept the SABBATH and knew about it. If ADAM and EVE kept the SEVENTH DAY SABBATH and knew about it then so did their descendance through the spoken Word of God.

Before Mt Sinai and before the slavery of God’s people to the Egyptians mankind had the spoken Word from God handed down from our first parents Adam and Eve and God himself. God told Adam not to eat of the fruit of the knowledge of Good and Evil. Either God or Adam told Eve. *GENESIS 2:16-18; GENESIS 3:1-6. This was before mankind sinned and were in perfect harmony with God. After mankind had sinned *GENESIS 3 and had been given the KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and to do EVIL, mankind was given more of the spoken Word of God outlining God’s plan of salvation for mankind *GENESIS 3:14-19.

When CAIN and ABEL were born it is clear from God’s WORD that there was SIN offerings for remission of sin as shown in GENESIS 4:1-7. We are latter told that ENOCH and NOAH walked with God *GENESIS 5:24; GENESIS 6:8 so were following God’s ways. In NOAHS time the thoughts of men were only evil continually *GENESIS 6:5-7. Jesus says that what defiles a man is an evil heart that breaks God’s commandments *MATTHEW 15:16:19. Before the Flood God made his Covenant with NOAH and his decendance *GENESIS 9:1-9.

When Abraham was present God spoke to Abraham and made his covenant with him and his descendance *GENESIS 15:18. 17:2-19. God said of Abraham that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. The HEBREW word used for laws is TORAH. So, it is very clear that the spoken WORD of GOD included God’s Commandments. Not only as the KNOWLEDGE of what GOOD and EVIL; SIN and RIGHTEOUSNESS were but also the laws for remission of sin [FORGIVENESS] if any of God’s laws were broken. If they had no law then they would have no knowledge of what sin is. If they did not know what sin was there would have been no need of sin offerings. Yet here we also see in GENESIS 22:2-7 that it was a regular practice for Abraham and his family to offer burnt offerings for sin. So before Mt Sinai God’s people had the spoken Word of God after slavery to the Egyptians they received the written Word of God but through all this time God’s people had a knowledge of what sin was and what to do if sin was committed.

God said in Genesis 4:7 to Cain when he was angry because he did not worship God in his appointed way that by doing this it was sin. Jesus say the same in Matthew 15:3-9 that if we follow and teachings of men that break the commandments of God we are not following God. Mankind was destroyed by a flood because of sin (Genesis 6:5-7). Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed because of sin (Genesis 18:20). Jacob knew about sin BEFORE Mt Sinia when he complained to Laben when he left with his daughters (Genesis 31:36).

When Potiphar’s wife came to Joseph with the aim of committing adultery, Joseph knew it was sin and protested saying how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? (Genesis 39:9).

As time goes by God detroys mankind for evil and sin with a flood as well as Sodom and Gommorah with fire and the Epyptians with plagues *GENESIS 6:5-13; GENESIS 13:10-13; 18:20-33; 19:24; EXODUS 9:13-14. If there was no knowledge of sin there would be no punishment for it. God’s WORD is very clear that all of God’s Commandments were kept by God’s people before the written WORD through the Spoken WORD of GOD.

The sabbath is a periodic physical rest from labor. God did not involve Himself in a periodic event in Gen 2. The rest God involved Himself in was a permanent event happening only once for Him. It's this same rest Jesus provides and invited sabbath keepers into.Again tell us why Moses didn't say this.Some Christians celebrate a form of the sabbath. No Christian observe the 4th commandment as written. So the reality is a man made tradition is being followed, Not the Scripture.

No one enters God's REST while breaking any one of his Commandments and do not follow his WORD *HEBREWS 3:17-19; HEBREWS 10:26-27 because they reject the gift of God's dear son *ROMANS 6:23.

Hope this helps.

Very true for you. You don't want us to notice the passages I bring up. You won't even talk about them.

You only provide your own WORDS and ignore the posts and the scriptures only provided in love as a help to you. All your posts have been addressed section by section and scripture by scripture. It is God's WORD brother not mine. Ignoring God's WORD does not make it dissappear. Your argument is with God not me.
