Sunday worship

I wouldnt call it a 'spin' How can Sabbath be any different if you dont make it holy? I will admit at times the Sabbath can be a bit of drag. At the moment Sabbath does not close till 8pm it can get a bit dull, at times.

Pherhaps you should of gone to the beach or something, if you found pot lucks were rather boring?

This implies that there is a new form of sabbath keeping in which one can pursue his/her own amusement. That's fine, but I do note that this is not the form of sabbath keeping that the Israelites were commanded to follow.

Yes. Nor is it the kind of Sabbath keeping the person who started the SDA church commanded!

One of the things that's interesting about our friendly neighborhood pop atheist Richard Dawkins is that he has allowed a certain kind of Christian to define the god in which he does not believe. I'm not sure why he's given that Christian that definitional power.

I wouldn't.

He does because he is not being intellectually honest.

But those were the old days. Seems things have been lightening up for the last 10 years or so. It is funny to see SDA's today claiming Sabbath is a wonderful blessing to them as they go play at the beach and eat out and do whatever they feel like.

I feel the same way, i dont know if it is right or wrong???

solja, have you come across any evidence suggesting the Gentiles ever received a sabbath commandment?

what do you mean? in the NT or OT?

What context are you speaking of?

In the NT and after wards.

I wrote how we have entered into God's rest, and have no need for the temporal shadow He delivered us from.

I replied and you havent answered...

first covenant such as the sabbath.

Show me the Sabbath was part of the first covenant.

Isa 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.

According to Exodus 31, it was a sign between God and Israel.

It was part of the covenant described in Exodus 19-20 and the one described in Deuteronomy 5.
