If the Sabbath didn't matter, and/or it was changed, Paul would have made mention of it in Acts when he stood up in the synagogue to read to the Jews AND the Gentiles came to him and he stood up to read for them also fir several Sabbaths afterward. The WHOLE TOWN came and heard him preach Christ on the Sabbath to ALL. I'm assuming that the Jews, being the way they were, steeped in tradition, didn't want the Gentiles near them, especially in church, but Paul most likely gave them their own service ON Sabbath after the Jews left. IF it was to be changed by anyone other than Rome, it would've happened right then and there. Jerry, you said Bob was pushing a man made doctrine- Sabbath worship, when all the scripture leads to it being the seventh day of the week. What in the world isn't man made about a holy day made by pagan Rome on the pagan day by the fish mitre wearing pagan priests? Constantine only changed it for political reasons, not biblical. Rome kept it because of the traditions of men (and due to their role in the big picture). The earth is round and you are going all the way around it and still jumping off the same man-made cliff. You may say that you can choose any day to keep you want, and that's a fact because there are doors open every Sunday all over the world, by daughters of the great harlott, who still keep the pagan festivals of Easter and Christmas too. They're all pagan holidays- including Sunday rest, just with Jesus thrown in, just like all the statues in Rome are pagan ones, just renamed. All the evidence is overwhelming, but you fight it and refuse to see it because it's how you were raised. Most of us were and still don't know the difference. That doesn't make it right. It's no different than being loyal to the north or south during the civil war because you happened to live in a certain area and were raised that way. You didn't know what you were doing was wrong if you grew up in the south, until someone told you. And millions still didn't buy it, but it didn't make the fact that is was wrong or right any different in their eyes. Just how far will Rome have to go THIS round before you see what's really going on? When your neighbor's church caves? When yours does? They've made MOST of the Protestant churches so close now, without the little gold and white dresses, it's hard to tell them apart. Believing the Sabbath isn't the Sabbath will just make the transition go smoother. Do you not believe Rome is sucking them all back in, one by one? The time is coming, and it's not very far off, that Rome will tell YOUR church that you can't keep HER Sabbath unless you join her! According to scripture, they will even pass laws on it. Its already happening in Protestant churches now. 3 major ones already- TOAST. They ALREADY meet with the UN a couple or 3 times a year to seriously discuss it. There are things already in place in Germany in their ORTHODOX Protestant church where it's illegal to preach certain things about Jesus. Things your church preaches. Things that our church preaches. Things that their church preached only a couple of years ago. It's a problem and it's heading this way. When the pope meets with OUR Congress, twice, it's not to sell fruit cakes. It's to get legislation passed that gives church control (or influence at first) in STATE matters. The ONE thing that was guaranteed never to happen. Our Constitution is written on a chalkboard now. The papacy is attacking climate justice with the gloves off. Why? They are trying to pass a worldwide day of rest for the "environment". To give ol mother earth a break. They'll eventually do it too. Do you have ANY idea what day that will be? The man made Sabbath for the man made religion with a miry clay hat on it. The SAME one that will be at the head of this ecumenical movement AND the one who heads up the spiritual exercise program called spiritual formation. If you choose to ignore what they've done in the past AND what they're doing now AND how it will affect you AND what the deciding factor will be between THEM and ALL OTHER religions, you're a lost ball in high weeds. You refuse the scripture, the history, their documentation of a worldwide plan and what's happening today that's NOT hidden from plain sight. Imagine what is that you don't even know about yet. Look at how the past presidency has demonized anyone that speaks out about anything that may hurt someone's feelings OR go against their religious beliefs. Its the same way with the paleostinians .You think it just happened to be by chance it's happened? Why all the Islamic sympathy when they state they'll kill every Jew and Christian they can, yet they let em all, by force, into any country and demonize anyone that speaks out about it? The papacy is behind it. You can read it in their statements. They want the Muslims and Protestants into a war. They'll come out looking like the good guys because their in bed with BOTH. It's straight Jesuit operating procedure- period. It's all going to be about Sabbath worship. God's or man's. How far will it all have to go before you see it? Remember that I told you, soon, they'll be telling YOUR church that you are violating THEIR Sabbath. Believe it. They've already said that their can BE NO RECONCILIATION with any Sabbath keeping SDAs.... PERIOD. THEY say this. So you can just keep on keeping on doing Rome service while they sit back and laugh about it. They changed it and their BEST scholars they have say there's no scriptural grounds for the change, only their "ecclesiastical authority and tradition. Know what....they're right- on the tradition part. You may want to rethink some of this without prejudice. It's hard to. Old habits die hard, but all this stuff is very very real. If you think your church and your freedoms are exempt, think again.
aul to the new covenant believers to the church. Jerry kelso
