Not really--0it just takes knowing that God set aside one day as His sign that He is the Creator God that made this world and everything in it and around it. And what the beast chooses as an act of showing it's power and authority --or what the beast is going on about how it is to be worshiped.
Then you should have no trouble in pointing those out.
No they didn't. The old covenant seventh day sabbath is still Saturday.
If you want to observe a physical sabbath day, then that's your choice. Many Christians do observe a sabbath day of rest because it is healthy. It still acts as a means of grace for growing in spiritual maturity and deepening our relationship with God. It's just no longer a ritual commandment under law.
There is no verse because you are misinterpreting why most Christians meet on the first day of the week. It has nothing to do with observing a sabbath and everything to do with celebrating Christ's resurrection. Christians aren't moving the sabbath from one day to another because there is no requirement to observe a ritual weekly sabbath under the new covenant, so Christians would not be observing a sabbath on *any* day. Or perhaps it's more accurate to say that Christians are always observing a sabbath because we are resting in Jesus day by day as we walk with him.
I am personally against laws that limit people's religious freedom, even for non-Christians, and even for religions Christians are naturally opposed to. If the government tried to make observing a seventh day sabbath illegal, I would be opposed to that law.
Old covenant gone. All the jots and tittles of old heaven and earth have passed. Jesus did say this.
The sabbath does still exist though...in HIM.
Then there is no need to allow them to define it for you, but it might also be a good idea to recognize they don't define it for the rest of us either. I know in my own denomination, there would be a mass exodus if our conference were to force us under the rule of a pope or the papacy, and I would be one of them. Not that I believe it would happen because we have a global democratic conference, but I suppose if the Evangelicals are right and the anti-Christ turns out to be a person who will set up a one world government and one world religion, then true believers would be called out of that system.
Why allow yourselves to be defined by the RCC? Who cares what they say if you're not a part of their organization? Catholics who believe that there will be in any way wide-scale unity with them while there is a papacy or pope in existence are very deceived, and even then there is all the stuff with Mary and the saints and confession to other human beings, statues and religious icons everywhere, etc. Many protestants are about as anti-pope (*any* pope) as one can get. In fact, people in my region will leave their churches if they even have the appearance of being in any way Catholic.
The commandment Sabbath is still Saturday--and they admit that--what they changed is the solemnity of it to Sunday. They made the day of Sunday the day to worship--legally--Constantine did that---to worship on the "venerable day of the sun"--no work on that day. Only ones allowed to work were farmers`.
Has nothing to do with choice--I don't care which day it is--God does, and He said which day---just as He said which fruit. He is the Creator God, He decides---we don't.
No, I am nit misunderstanding. I know why they set Sunday aside. And if Christians want to have a day to celebrate His resurrection, there is nothing wrong with that. The problem lies when you keep a day Holy instead of the day God specifically set aside for that purpose. And Jesus never once said--nor did His disciples say-"we will now celebrate the resurrection of Jesus instead of the Sabbath"---never once.
Again--the New covenant does not set aside any of the 10--it only decided where to write them! And once again--no we can not observe every day as a Sabbath for God said we are to work 6 days a week-the 7th is His day--not our day--though it is for our benefit--as everything God does for us is for our benefit.
Last time I looked--heaven and earth are still here---did I miss something?? Looks like same old heaven and earth to me.
It has alr34ady happened. Not exactly a secret. Several Protestant churches have gone back under the rule of the Papacy and the UK and some here. You can look those up yourself. Time will tell.
Who says we are doing that? We are only saying what is to be. What is to happen, will happen, and already is starting.
I know that SDA has a belief that once Jesus has completed his work in the heavenly temple they believe he is currently in, then all remaining people will need to be without sin through their own efforts since Jesus is no longer available to be their mediator, but I disagree. Like Paul, I am "persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39)
Perhaps they were not being led by the Spirit. What are their fruits? Are they producing any fruit of the Spirit? (Love, joy, peace, kindness, etc.) Someone who is led by the Spirit should be producing fruit of the Spirit in some way. If they aren't then they are more susceptible to their own sinful natures.
It says right there in the verse, plain as day, "If you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law."
But God, under the new covenant does not deliver truth concerning law to follow through reading what is written in ink, but through what is written on your heart by the Spirit of the living God. You must be missing out on something, according to what is written in scriptureTruth is truth, no matter how God chooses to deliver it!
Not exactly---When the work of Jesus as our High Priest is over--then He will say
Rev 21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Rev 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
It is that the decisions by all, and judgements for all, have been made--it is the end of deciding. He who is lost--remains lost--He who is saved--remains saved. Time is up. He comes now.
Mat_25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
Rev_8:1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
Ever wonder why there is silence is heaven?--Because no one's home!! They are all on their way here and will go back with us. Going by a day for a year in bible prophecy---that ends up being about a week--round trip!
Details concerning the old covenant are not needed concerning law in regard to the new covenant, the law is in your heart and mind.The old covenant was kept outside the Ark, the 10 were the only ones kept inside the Ark---which represents the throne of God. Very simple.
Constantine made the law for a Sunday because the majority of Christians were *already* worshiping on Sunday. It wasn't like they were all worshiping on Saturday and he just randomly decided for Sunday. He made it the day they were already worshiping because he wanted to show Christians he supported them. It doesn't mean that he changed the sabbath...he was giving them time to worship on a day that they were already worshiping.
The reason SDA are so insistent he "changed the sabbath" is because the little horn in Daniel changing the times and days would be all screwed up, so we have to make sure that the prophetic interpretation remains intact regardless of whether or not it is actually true.
You're saying what you think is to be. It's your own interpretation of biblical prophecy, and practically everyone who has a theory on how the world will end, Christ's second coming, etc. believe that theirs is the true one. I would be willing to bet none of them are 100% accurate and the only thing we really know is that Jesus will come again.
Of course not. If you are led by the spirit you will not disobey what God says--don't go over the speed limit--you won't get pulled over by the cops--the spirit will lead you to stay with in the speed limit!
Well as the new heavens and earth pertain to new Jerusalem, so the old heavens and earth pertain to old Jerusalem (or simply the Jerusalem that existed in Jesus' day).
Someone at an SDA bible study that I went to a while ago claimed this same thing and then when I went and looked up the organization that was involved, none of the churches that attended whatever meeting it was had changed their individual doctrines and there wasn't anything binding on any of them. It was basically just some agreement to be nice to one another and try to work together as Christians.
I accept as Christians people who have to read law written in ink, in order to know what the law is they believe they should follow, though it is not a law written in ink for the believer under the new covenant. I'm easy going too.A "saturday Sabbath"??? Do you mean "the Bible Sabbath" or "The Word of God saying 'The seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD' Ex 20:10??
As I stated - I already accept those as "Christians" who pray to the dead, who bow down before images and promise to serve those they represent.
