Well that has no truth in it brother. You have to deny a lot of Scripture to teach that. I guess this is your way of saying that there is no scripture that says God's 4th commandment that is one of God's 10 commandments that give us the KNOWLEDGE of what SIN is when broken *ROMANS 3:20; ROMANS 7:7; 1 JOHN 3:4; JAMES 2:10-11 and we are now commanded to keep Sunday as a Holy day because if you had scripture you would have provided it.

Yet here we have JESUS and all the APOSTLES keeping God's 4th commandment and teaching others to do so along with all the 10 Commandments (See posts # 1829; posts # 1830; posts # 1831)

If there is no direct scripture from JESUS not have other Gods; make idols and worship them; use God's name in vain, are you arguing that we are free now to have other God's; use God's name in vain? make idols and worship them because JESUS did not mention when the rest of God's WORD in the OLD and NEW TESTAMENT has? Or are you arguing that JESUS is against the Apostles and he did not mean what he said in MATTHEW 5:17-22?

MATTHEW 5:17-22 [17], THINK NOT THAT I AM COME TO DESTROY THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS I HAVE NOT COME TO DESTROY BUT TO FULFIL. [18], For truly I say to you, TILL HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS ONE JOT OR TITTLE SHALL IN NO WISE PASS FROM THE LAW TILL ALL BE FULFILLED [19], WHOSEVER SHALL BREAK ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE COMMANDMENTS AND SHALL TEACH MEN SO, SHALL BE CALLED LEAST IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.

Why would JESUS teach us how to keep the SABBATH if he did not want us to keep it *MATTHEW 12:1-8; 10-12; 24:20; MARK 3:1-5; LUKE 6:1-10; 13:14-16; 14:1-5; JOHN 7:22-23; 9:14; MARK 1:21; MARK 6:2; LUKE 4:16; 31; LUKE 14:1; 23:56?

Why did JESUS teach us the he is LORD of the SABBATH and that he made the SABBATH for mankind *MARK 2:27-28?

Why do you think JESUS has to re-issue God's 10 commandments which in the OLD and NEW COVENANT give us the KNOWLEDGE of what SIN is when broken *ROMANS 3:20; ROMANS 7:7; 1 JOHN 3:4; JAMES 2:10-11 when he had already given them to God's people who already had them for 4000 years?

Did you have any scriptures to share with us showing that God's 4th commandment is now abolished and we are now commanded to keep sunday as a Holy day? If you do not have any scripture are you not worried when God's WORD teaches us that if we break anyone of God's 10 commandments we stand before God guilty of sin *ROMANS 7:7; 1 JOHN 3:4; JAMES 2:10-11?

Now let's summarise all this in the words of Paul the Apostle...

HEBREWS 4:9 [9], So then, it remains for the people of God to keep the Sabbath.

Sorry brother God's WORD does not teach lawlessness :)



Where are the scriptures that identify for us what specifically constitutes sin concerning the Sabbath today, why won’t you provide any scriptures from Jesus or His Apostles that instruct the Church what we can or can not do on the Sabbath so that we don’t sin.

What is SIN?

NEW TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES

JAMES 2:8-12
[8], If ye fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well:
[9], But if ye have respect to persons, YOU COMMIT SIN, AND ARE CONVINCED OF THE LAW AS TRANSGRESSORS.
[10], For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
[11] For he that said, DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, said also, DO NOT KILL. Now if thou commit NO ADULTERY, yet if thou KILL, YOU ARE BECOME A TRANSGRESSOR OF GOD'S LAW

Yep, James is pretty clear if we brake ANY of God's Law (10 commandments) then we are a TRANSGRESSOR of God's LAW and commit SIN. James quotes two of the 10 Commandments saying that if we break them we commit sin v9 that are summed up in the 2nd great commandments of LOVE to God and LOVE to our neighbour in v11. Maybe you missed that one?

ROMANS 7:7 [7], What shall we say then? is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I HAD NOT KNOWN SIN, BUT BY THE LAW: for I had not known lust, EXCEPT THE LAW HAD SAID YOU SHALL NOT COVET.

Well here we have Paul in agreement with James and John also telling us that he did not know what sin was without God's 10 Commandments. SIN is breaking God's commandments and Paul uses the 10th commandment as an example of breaking any of God's LAW (10 commandments) = SIN (Exodus 20:17)

links to...

1 JOHN 3:4 [4] Whosoever commits SIN transgresses also the law: for SIN is the transgression of the law.

John is saying the same thing as James and Paul and states that if we TRANSGRESS God's LAW then we commit SIN because SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF GOD'S LAW. So it is very clear that SIN is breaking ANY of God's LAW (10 commandments). We will look at the chapter context John uses v15 of MURDER as an example of sin which is God's 6th Command of the 10.

Sin is idefined in God's WORD as breaking any of the 10 Commandments in both the OLD and NEW TESTAMENT scriptures.

According to God's WORD in the NEW COVENANT God's ETERNAL LAW (10 commandments) is the KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and EVIL; SIN and RIGHTEOUSNES *ROMANS 3:20; ROMANS 7:7; 1 JOHN 3:4; PSALMS 119:172.

God's 4th commandment is one of God's 10 commandments that give us the KNOWLEDGE of what sin is when broken *ROMANS 3:20. According to God's WORD if we break any one of God's 10 Commandments we stand guilty before God of SIN *JAMES 2:10-11.

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. 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 through love. 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.

It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath and he was the maker of it and he made it for all mankind *MATTHEW 12:1-12; MARK 2:27-28.

If you do not know what God's 10 commandments are you can find them here *EXODUS 20:1-17. As posted earlier, according to God's WORD in the NEW COVENANT, SIN is the transgression of any one of God's 10 commandments *JAMES 2:10-11. God's 4th commandment is one of God's 10 commandments that give us the KNOWLEDGE of what sin is when broken *ROMANS 3:20; ROMANS 7:7; 1 JOHN 3:4. According to God's WORD in the NEW COVENANT 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.

According to JESUS all those who knowingly follow the teachings and traditions of men that break the commandments of God are not following God. What do you think these scriptures mean *MATTHEW 15:3-9; MATTHEW 7:22-23?

Hope this helps :)

I know exactly what the 10 commandments are.


I’m asking about the 4th Commandment, and what constitutes breaking the 4th Commandment.

I’m putting up a challenge for anyone to provide scriptures where Jesus or His Apostles specifically commanded the Church to keep the Sabbath as a holy day, as well as how to do it.

Sadly my friend your only repeating yourself again without addressing any of the posts and scriptures sent only in love and as a help to you showing your errors of interpretation. Ignoring God's WORD does not make it disappear.
...snip...
Hope this helps :).
I state the Truth, not interpretation. God's Word reveals Truth. "God's Word Disagrees With Your Use Of The Word 'Love' As Well As Your Acts Of Adding To And Subtracting From Scripture Post" (in this thread). As the post shows, righteousness and unrighteousness are diametrically opposed, and the post shows that truth is opposed by deceit/lies. God is Light (1 John 1:5). Light pierces the darkness (John 1:5, John 8:12), and so it goes with love and hate being in oppostion. According to God's Word, here are the positives:
- Righteousness
- Truth
- Light
- Love
And, according to God's Word, here are the negatives (the opposites of the positives):
- Unrighteousness
- Deceit/lies
- Darkness
- Hate
The Apostle John had something to write about this with "The one who loves his brother abides in the Light and there is no cause for stumbling in him. But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes." (1 John 2:10-11). In the above-referenced post is a quote of your words which includes you labeling me "brother". A person who loves God's Word cherishes the purity of God's Word in righteousness, and I do; on the other hand, a person who does not love God's Word attempts to alter the meaning of God's Word for an unrighteous end. It is not love to try to change the meaning of scripture, in fact, it can be said that attempting to change the meaning of scripture is the very opposite of love; moreover, this is proven out in the above mentioned post.

I love the Truth, and I want to speak more of the Truth (John 12:46-50):

46 "I have come [as] Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.
47 "If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 "He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day.
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."

The Truth said "the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day". The Truth says (John 14:6):

"I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."

Jesus is Life. Jesus is the Word (John 1:1, John 1:14). The Truth says (John 8:31-32):

"If you continue in My word, [then] you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."

Again, the Word said "If you continue in My word". God's Word (Matthew 17:5):

"This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!

The Truth, Whose Word we believers keep, speaks that the Law, which includes the 7th day sabbath of the Old Covenant, is satisfed by the Truth:

"Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to satisfy." (Matthew 5:17)

The Law is a shadow of the substance:

"For the Law, since it has [only] a shadow of the good things to come [and] not the very form of things" (Hebrews 10:1)

The Truth said:

"And in the same way [He took] the cup after they had eaten, saying, 'This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.'" (Luke 22:20)

And, in the Truth say "the new covenant in My blood", we see that the Old Covenant was made obsolete by:

"When He said, 'A new [covenant],' He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear." (Hebrews 8:13)

The Truth is that New Covenant believers are not bound by the Old Covenant, and one huge reason for this is that Jesus said and showed as much!

It is sin and lawlessness not to keep the words of the Truth.

Listen to the Truth!

I’m putting up a challenge for anyone to provide scriptures where Jesus or His Apostles specifically commanded the Church to keep the Sabbath as a holy day, as well as how to do it. JLB

No problem see below (see also posts # 1830; posts # 1831 already posted) :)

HEBREWS 4:9 [9], So then, it remains for the people of God to keep the Sabbath.

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

Should you also be putting up a challange for anyone to provide scripture where JESUS says we should not have other Gods; make idols and worship them; use God's name in vain?

If there is no scripture from JESUS are you also arguing that we are free now to have other God's; use God's name in vain? make idols and worship them? You do not believe this do you brother?

Why do you think JESUS has to re-issue God's 10 commandments which in the OLD and NEW COVENANT give us the KNOWLEDGE of what SIN is when broken *ROMANS 3:20; ROMANS 7:7; 1 JOHN 3:4; JAMES 2:10-11 when he had already given them to God's people who already had them for 4000 years?

Yet we read in the scriptures from the very Words of JESUS...

MATTHEW 5:17-22 [17], THIINK NOT THAT I AM COME TO DESTROY THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS I HAVE NOT COME TO DESTROY BUT TO FULFIL. [18], For truly I say to you, TILL HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS ONE JOT OR TITTLE SHALL IN NO WISE PASS FROM THE LAW TILL ALL BE FULFILLED [19], WHOSEVER SHALL BREAK ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE COMMANDMENTS AND SHALL TEACH MEN SO, SHALL BE CALLED LEAST IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
