If one is NEVER a believer then they can be seen as NIGHT, if one IS a believer then they can be seen as Day.Every day we have BOTH; day and night. Do you agree?

Your latest two posts have been wholly divorced, cut off, disassociated, disconnected, and separate from the topic. If you're familiar with the way 'divorced' is used here, you already know that there is no marriage and no one implied in an disassociated relationship that doesn't exist.One has to be married before they can get divorced or seperated. Do you agree?
If the husband dies, it is good for the widow not to remarry as Pharisee Shaul says. "Until death we do part".
1 Cor
8 Now to the unmarried[a] and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do.
Do you have anything related to the topic to offer?How so? Do we have both day and night? If I say I have both my right hand and my left hand, am I saying my two hands are the same?
The cross is the difference, things changed because of the cross. One can read Paul's writings about Resurrection of the Dead and notice how big of a deal he makes it such that if Jesus had not been raised from the dead we are still dead in our sins. One would have to throw out this revelation Paul taught if you make the cross a non issue and not a time stamp of new things.What is the difference between someone who believes before the cross and someone who believes after the cross?
Hey would you take away those sleeping pills from that snail?The cross is the difference, things changed because of the cross.

In other words if the cross had not happened before Paul a lot of what he taught would never have been said by him at all.
wouldn't wanna spoil the fun around here would I?Hey would you take away those sleeping pills from that snail?
Not surprises that you'd bring it to the fore."That's not what we're talking about. Its called off topic." (Scratch)
"Do you have anything related to the topic to offer?" (Scratch)
Original topic: "Is the seventh day the Sabbath."
I'm surprised this next passage hasn't been shared (unless I missed it). It certainly is the foundation passage of this subject, and therefore deserves to be considered here:
"Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done." {Genesis 2:1-3 NIV}
It seems odd to me that people say that the Sabbath is a Jewish thing and an old covenant thing, yet God "blessed the seventh day and made it holy" 2000 years before there was ever a Jew, and more than 2000 years before the old covenant was given.
P.S.--What do you think it should say to us that pretty much the very first thing God did after creating the world was to "bless the seventh day and make it holy."
P.S.S.-- Ultimately, who decides what's important: God or us?
P.S.S.S.--Do you think it tells us anything as to how important the Sabbath is to God that He (not Moses) made it one of the Ten Commandments?

#1--Not surprises that you'd bring it to the fore. #2--The 7th day of creation isn't the Sabbath. #3--The Bible says it was given specifically to Israel alone.

The 7th day of creation isn't the Sabbath. That particular day has no end. There is no record of mankind participating in it. There isn't any record of the Sabbath until after leaving Egypt. The Bible says it was given specifically to Israel alone. In short you're playing left field in an empty stadium.

I'd be led to believe you instantly...if it were not for the clear implications of both Genesis and more importantly Exodus 20:11.
In Genesis we see that God SET APART the 7th day--because He "shabbated" on the very first 7th day ever!
Exodus 20:11 expounds on that further by clearly linking the Sabbath day commandment back to creation.
For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and made it holy."
It doesn't really matter whether or not you believe the above...what is clear is that God clearly set apart the very first 7th day, rested on it ---[how epic is that for the CREATOR to "remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy, resting from His work"] and reminded us of this amazing moment in Exodus 20:11.
God set apart the 7th day from the beginning!
Ever wonder how 6,000+ years later we still have a 7 day week?
