You are stirring up strife.



Preaching the Gospel, stirs up no strife, as we are told to rebuke in the end when men have no faith left..



2 Timothy 4:I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Titus 2:8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.

Open rebuke is better than secret love..


Proverbs 27:5 Open rebuke is better than secret love.

Psalm 141:5 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.

You never answered my question. I’m not sure what question you think you answered, but it certainly wasn’t one that asked.
Sorry dear friend but I respectfully disagree. Your question was "how did the Israelite's in the exodus know to worship on the Sabbath?" I already answered this by showing from the scriptures we "worship God" by doing what Gods' Word says as shown in scriptures such as Matthew 15:2-9 that show that if we do not do what God asks us to do we are not worshiping God. You were also shown from the scriptures that just because the scriptures are silent on a subject on one part of the bible does not mean the scriptures are silent on a subject in other parts of the bible and you were shown from the scriptures in Ezekiel 46:1-3 and Isaiah 66:22-23 from the very spoken Words of God that God himself says that we are to worship God on the Sabbath. What we do know from the scriptures is that Gods' people kept the Sabbath and God tells us that by keeping the Sabbath we worship him. That is all we need to know isn't it? How does what you are suggesting from something not recorded (argument in silence in Exodus) effect the scriptures that are recorded in regards to God telling us that the Sabbath is Gods' day of worship? - It doesn't. Your post was directly answered with a detailed scripture response here. If you disagree please explain why you disagree because at the moment I cannot see why your claiming your question has been not been answered when it clearly has been. So to make claims that your question was not answered is not true at all as it was indeed answered with a detailed scripture response. Perhaps you did not like the answer but you have indeed been answered and when questioned you haven't explained why you disagree.

Take Care.

Worshipping God was not done by Israel, is what Matthew 15 shows, was never done but was broken.


Israel continues to seek God by the same laws.


Seeking the Father is by the Son ( believing in His death during the sabbath and rising at the end of it showing how Christ entered His rest and rose to glory) by faith and not by the law that not only is not faith, but the letter kills.



The prince entered not in earthly sabbaths, but in His glorious one. We also go up to heavenly places with him in that heavenly sabbath and seventh day...




Ezekiel 46:2 And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.
3 Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the Lord in the sabbaths and in the new moons.

Ephesians 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:





All on this earth ( earthly sabbaths is temporary) does not exist, only up in heaven we exist with God..




2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

LoveGodsword, do you have any scripture that shows Jesus Christ on earth resting on sabbath ?
Yes Genesis 2:1-3. See also Jesus is our example keeping the Sabbath (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; John 2:6; Matt 16:24; 1 Cor 11:1; Eph 5:1-21; Pet 2:20-22). The Apostle also keeping the Sabbath (Acts 13:14; 13:27; 13:44; 15:21; 16:13; 17:2; 18:4; Rev 1:10)

If you cant answer, then all the debate should be over, as Jesus did not then keep human ways, but those of God....


Matthew 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

Yes Genesis 2:1-3.



Thanks, so Jesus never rested on sabbath in the Gospels, and yet shows us all else He did in the Gospel, of having nowhere to lay His head, and of doing all the works of God non stop until death and rising..


John 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

Yes Genesis 2:1-3.



God is in heaven by the way not on earth ( that is you on earth)...


Ecclesiastes 5:2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.

Resting on the sabbath, is not seen here...




Matthew 12:At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat.




So we can conclude or no, that no scripture shows Jesus Christ resting on earth during sabbath ?

Where does it say that in the scriptures in the creation week? If that was true how could God be walking in the Garden looking for Adam and Eve*Genesis 3:8? - Ecclesiastes 5:2 seems was a boomerang that came right back to you. Anyhow getting late my time.

Thanks for the discussion guys :wave:

Jesus Christ did not do the ways of man, but those of God.


Man rests on sabbath, but Jesus came to do the opposite, the works of God.


Jesus had one mission, to give His life ransom, and did that beginning on the preparation before thew sabbath and died during that sabbath, and was in the heart of the earth during that sabbath and rose at its eclipse.


That is because Christ would not rest, until he entered into His rest, His glorious rest and glory, suffered and then entered into His glory.

here it says more, how Jesus Christ came to earth but the Son of man was in heaven


John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

Go do a study on resting and what it means in regards to Exodus 20:8-11. We rest from secular work not from doing good on the Sabbath. Jesus and all the disciples rested on the Sabbath according to God's 4th commandment.

No one has told you any man is descending to heaven. Not sure what your talking about here.

The garden is Eden, and they were cast out of that garden to till the ground of the earth ( WHERE THEY WERE TAKEN OUT OF THE GROUND OF THE EARTH)..


Genesis 3:23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

Yes the people rested (for fear of the Jews), as the disciples hid from the Jews until they received the bold Holy Spirit, but Jesus had no fear of the Jews and hence we see no verses of Jesus resting on sabbath...


Luke 23:56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.

John 20:19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
