Is the Lord's Day Saturday according to Acts of John (Apocryphal)?

The better question we should be asking, is if we love God why would anyone want to break one of His commandments?

1 John 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.

Revelations 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

Our focus should be on loving God, not doing the least requirement to be saved. Love is our obedience to God, which includes keeping the holy day of the Lord thy God. Exodus 20:10, Isaiah 58:13

If we are provided scripture then it is best to read and believe it. What does Hebrews 10:26-31 (compare with Acts of the Apostles 17:30-31; Matthew 7:21-23; 1 John 2:3-4) say Brian? Is someone in a saved state with God or an unsaved state with God if they choose to reject Gods' Word and continue in a life of known unrepentant sin after God gives them a knowledge of the truth of His Word? Are they the many that are called or the few that are chosen? (see Hebrews 10:26-31).

Take Care dear friend.

If you do not want to answer the question or read the scriptures shared with you Carl, then of course you do not have to if you do not want to as that is between you and God and I do not judge you. According to Jesus it is the Words of God we accept or reject that then become our judge come judgement day according to Matthew 12:47-48.

Take Care Carl.

No. Go pray about it and ask yourself the question; "Is someone in a saved state with God or an unsaved state with God if they choose to reject Gods' Word and continue in a life of known unrepentant sin after God gives them a knowledge of the truth of His Word? Are they the many that are called or the few that are chosen? Here are some scriptures to help you with your study of God's Word *Acts of the Apostles 17:30-31; Hebrews 10:26-31; 1 John 2:3-4; Matthew 7:21-23; 1 John 3:6-9.

Hebrews 10:26-31 [26], For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins, [27], But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. [28], He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: [29], Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, with which he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done despite to the Spirit of grace? [30], For we know him that has said, Vengeance belongs to me, I will recompense, said the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. [31], It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

These people continued in known unrepentant sin which is defined in the scriptures as breaking anyone of Gods' 10 commandments (James 2:10-11; 1 John 3:4; Romans 7:7; Romans 3:20) and not believing Gods' Word (Romans 14:23) after they received a knowledge of the truth of Gods' Word *Hebrews 10:26. For them by continuing in known unrepentant sin there is no forgiveness of sin because they are continuing in unrepentant sin after they have been given a knowledge of the truth of Gods' Word which they choose to reject *Hebrews 10:27. They will be receiving Gods' Judgements which will devour them *Hebrews 10:27; 29 because they counted the blood of the covenant an unholy thing doing despite to the Spirit of Gods' grace. They will receive Gods' vengeance and it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God *Hebrews 10:30-31.

Now you tell me are these people in a saved state with God or an unsaved state with God according to Hebrews 10:26-31 after they received a knowledge of the truth of Gods' Word and choose to reject it in order to continue in known unrepentant sin?

Take Care Brian.

That's answering a question with a question again.

Sin is defined in the scriptures as breaking anyone of Gods' 10 commandments in James 2:10-11; 1 John 3:4; Romans 7:7; Romans 3:20. God's 4th commandment is one of God's 10 commandments as shown in Exodus 20:8-11. Sin is also defined in the scriptures as not believing Gods' Word *Romans 14:23.

Now we have defined what sin is let's read Hebrews 10:26-31.

Hebrews 10:26-31 [26], For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins, [27], But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. [28], He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: [29], Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, with which he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done despite to the Spirit of grace? [30], For we know him that has said, Vengeance belongs to me, I will recompense, said the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. [31], It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Now note from the scriptures above;

• These people continued in known unrepentant sin which is defined in the scriptures as breaking anyone of Gods' 10 commandments (James 2:10-11; 1 John 3:4; Romans 7:7; Romans 3:20) and not believing Gods' Word (Romans 14:23) after they received a knowledge of the truth of Gods' Word *Hebrews 10:26.

• For them by continuing in known unrepentant sin there is no forgiveness of sin because they are continuing in unrepentant sin after they have been given a knowledge of the truth of Gods' Word which they choose to reject *Hebrews 10:27.

• They will be receiving Gods' Judgements which will devour them *Hebrews 10:27; 29 because they counted the blood of the covenant an unholy thing doing despite to the Spirit of Gods' grace. They will receive Gods' vengeance and it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God *Hebrews 10:30-31.

Now you tell me are these people in a saved state with God or an unsaved state with God according to Hebrews 10:26-31 after they received a knowledge of the truth of Gods' Word and choose to reject it in order to continue in known unrepentant sin?

Take Care.

Let's leave no wiggle room. According to the scriptures, we are saved by grace through faith and not of ourselves it is a gift of God and not of works lest any man should boast *Ephesians 2:8-9. Obedience to God's law is not how we are saved because all of us have already broken the law and are under it's penalty of condemnation and death *Romans 3:9-23; 2 Corinthians 3:3-11. So it is by God's grace through faith that we are saved through Gods forgiveness of our sins. According to the scriptures, obedience to Gods' law is the fruit of genuine faith of one that is already been given Gods promise of salvation and the fruit of God's work in us *Philippians 2:13 as we believe and follow his word *John 10:26-27. 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; Hebrews 10:26-27. Therefore we do not abolish God's law through faith like some people teach but God's law is established in the heart by faith that works by love *Romans 3:31; 1 John 5:3-4; Romans 13:8-10. According to the scriptures, sin (breaking God' commandments and not believing and following God's Word) is the difference between the children of God and the children of the devil *1 John 3:6-10; Revelation 12:17; Revelation 14:12; Revelation 22:14 and according to James there is no such thing as faith that does not have the fruit of obedience to Gods' Word. Therefore according to the scriptures, faith without works is simply the dead faith of devils according to James 2:17-26. Gods Word does not teach lawlessness (without law) *1 John 2:3-4.

I guess you can wait until Jesus comes and ask Him that question, or you can believe that the Ten Commandments came in a covenant of Ten according to God Exodus 34:28 personally written by the finger of God. The one commandment you want to isolate from the other nine commandments is the one God said to "Remember" and uses the word "holy" and "blessed" so if you think that is the one, we are free to forget despite God's clear Word, that is a choice you are free to make. Jesus told us this: Matthew 5:19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

You're free to gamble that least means you will be there and does not mean lost, Jesus said these Words, not the SDA church. God wrote the Ten Commandments with His own finger, not the SDA church. God stored the Ten Commandments in the ark of the covenant in Most Holy of His Temple that is also revealed in Heaven. Revelation 11:19

Regardless of people's personal opinions of God's holy Sabbath day, it will continue forever as the Lord's chosen day of worship, just like God promised Exodus 31:16. And from one Sabbath to another, All flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says the LORD. Isaiah 66:23

You are free to follow traditions of man over commandments of God. Jesus tells us which choice we should make. Matthew 15:3-9

Now you tell me are these people in a saved state with say that one must keep the Saturday sabbath to be saved? or an unsaved state with God according to Hebrews 10:26-31 after they received a knowledge of the truth of Gods' Word and choose to reject it in order to continue in known unrepentant sin?
