Which day to worship God.

BobRyan said:

So then your Bible reads "make one day in 7 holy"???

Ex 16:23 "Tomorrow IS the Sabbath"

Ex 20
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 (YHWH) your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 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.

Adam is created on God's 6th day of creation week.
Then on God's 7th day of creation week we have this...

Gen 2
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.

I'll only comment on the question itself for the moment. You quote several verses about being judgmental. Since you've already set things up so if we answer contrary to what you may believe, we are being judgmental... it appears you don't want an answer at all, or you want us to answer with something that agrees with whatever you think on the subject.

Then there is the fact many play the "judgmental" card as a defense to do whatever they want, as in "who are you to tell me what to do? or "You're just being judgmental" then they go about their merry way doing what they want because anyone trying to tell them otherwise was just being judgmental.

Giving our opinion is not being judgmental, especially since you are the one asking. So the subject would have been better left out altogether.

There is only one seventh day Sabbath instituted at creation and reconfirmed at Sinai... the same seventh day Sabbath Jesus and the disciples kept.

Well that is not true. You were shown that one of the GREEK word meanings for SABBATON means WEEK and that depending in the within scripture and chapter context determines the GREEK or HEBREW word meanings. You were also shown that at the time of the resurrection was the FEAST of FIRST FRUITS sabbaths plural.

Then you were shown that nearly every bible translation of MATTHEW 28:1 is in reference to μία (mia) σάββατον (sabbaton) being translated as first of the week or first day of the week which has been correctly translated that way in nearly every bible translation. Of course your correct however in your view if you believe every Hebrew and Greek bible scholar has the translations wrong for nearly every bible translation and you are correct.

And.. No I have never said anywhere that SABBATON is translated that way in every scripture anywhere. Your making this up. Why pretend I have said something I have never said? Please brother by all means post the link?

I am always happy to listen to you brother and share Gods' WORD with you.

Hope this helps.

Yes, I posted 1 sentence and 1 set of consistent scriptures to start a thread. Why do You appear cut to pieces? The word of God is not a game of piecing together whatever seems clever.

Doctrine are clearly laid out for those who seek truth. There is nothing dishonest or deceptive in the 1 sentence I posted in addition to the scriptures in blue. Those who don’t want to explain Rom 14 will highjack this thread with their stale agenda.

Like I said.... "The Bible did not reference a calendar and say which day of the week to make holy."

Jewish traditions are fine and good, and those who follow those traditions should honor it, but it ain't in the Bible. It makes sense that they observe the Sabbath on Saturday, because in the calendar, Sunday is the first day and Saturday is the seventh day. But the Bible doesn't reference a calendar or suggest that Saturday (or Sunday) is the Sabbath.

And really... what do you tell people who have no choice but to work on the day their faith calls the Sabbath? Should they fall on their swords and resign, or be fired, to not work it? The nature of employment and the economy is obviously a lot different than it was 2000 to 3000 years ago.

You think God as so helpless not to be able to bless His obedient people?

I work at an international aerospace corporation that runs 24/7 364 and I stood up for honouring the Sabbath and they obliged. For now at least, we still have certain protections under the law regarding religious worship. If people don't stand for God in times of peace and safety, whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

It appears to me you focused on something not said. This happens here all the time.

The comment was about days and all you want to talk about is being judgemental.

Please c&p a copy of your transcript and degree proving you're a linguist in either Greek or Hebrew. If you don't what's your basis for disagreement with those who are?

Then what's the problem with worshiping on Sunday as you claim is false worship?

Cribstyl said:

What question? My OP statement (black letters) was “Truth is, the scriptures are not silent about day(s) chosen to worship God.” Your answer could be; true or false and add further comment. But you chose to lie on me. I asked no questions, I gave no judgement on anyone.

The fact is, the scriptures is not silent about day(s) to honor God.

Rom 14:4 - Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

Rom 14:5 - One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

Rom 14:6 - He 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.

Rom 14:7 - For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

Rom 14:8 - For 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.

Rom 14:9 - For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

Rom 14:10 - But 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.

Rom 14:11 - For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

Rom 14:12 - So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

Rom 14:13 - Let 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.

So you must feel great making someone else sin by working on the sabbath in a place that must be in operation around the clock. Congratulations for sending someone else to hell. You do the same thing with the person running the generator to provide your electricity. You're a fantastic fellow.
