The Lord's Day is Sunday.

Remember imge:

All Scriptures are equally inspired, but not all Scripture are equally applicable.

Remember this:

Exodus 20
King James Version

20 And God spake all these words, saying,

2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.


did your ancestors live in bondage in Egypt or was it the Jews? This ALL is the first of the ten.

Exodus 31:13-17
King James Version

13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you.

14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.

16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.

17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.



Here was the chance God had to say --Speak unto the Jews and all teh gentile nations-----

The Sabbath is a sign between God and Israel as said here specifically and explicitly! Not to the gentile nations!

also remember this:

2 Corinthians 3:6-9
King James Version

6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:

8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?

9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

I don't see anywhere in the scriptures you provided that clearly says do not keep Sabbath as I have provided (and there's many more).

Throughout the Bible is states to keep His Commandments, which includes all 10 and the very important one that starts with "Remember". God Bless in your search for truth.

True.

But when you think about it - an actual text that had the wording for the subject title of this thread - would have been very useful -- so something like "the Lord's Day is week day 1"

 

[SabbathBlessings]

True.

Or Easter Sunday is weekday 1 the Lords Day is Sabbath weekday 7.

1. Israel not supposed to "take God's name in vain" Ex 20:7 -- and so it is today - we also are not supposed to take God's name in vain - -even though that commandment is not quoted in the NT.

2. New Covenant made with Israel Jer 31:31-34 and does not mean we are not under it as well -- even though that New Covenant is "unchanged" in Heb 8:6-12

3. Gentiles singled out for blessing when they choose not to profane the Sabbath Isaiah 56:6-8

4. All mankind to keep the Sabbath for all eternity after the cross in the New Earth Isaiah 66:23

5. Gentiles ask for more gospel preaching "next Sabbath" in Acts 13.

6. believing Gentiles and Jews gather "every Sabbath" for more gospel preaching Acts 18:4

The 7th day of the week - "The Holy Day of the Lord" - Isaiah 58:13
=========================

so given that - as the context for Rev 1... what (according to the Bible) is the definition for the term "Lord's Day" in Rev 1??

Keep His commandments. So how you doing with teh other 603 that were given on teh same day as the ten written in stone?

2 Corinthians 3:7
But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:

1. Galatians 3:24
   Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
   In Context | Full Chapter | Other Translations
2. Galatians 3:25
   But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

You should focus more on teh 1008 issued under teh New covenant for teh church rather than the 613 issued under the Old Covenant issued to Israel! Including teh Sabbath.

YOu can't find one command anywhere that says teh Sabbath was issued to Israel as a sign but mandatory for all mankind! You can't find on enation that even attempted to keep the Sabbath.

The church council in Jerusalem in Acts 15 does not even mention the Sabbath for the gentiles to keep. Sorry but you are simply wrong.

YOu shout about keeping His Commandments but ignore the other 603 commandments that also make up the Law! The only time in the New Covenant that the ten are separated from the rest is to call them a ministry of death! Do you wish people to receive death?

well it could be like the 1050 given in the NT
or it could be the same rule that these guys use when they also admit that all Ten of the Ten are included.

I am glad these groups all affirm all ten of the Ten Commandments for Christians.

The Baptist Confession of Faith,
the Westminster Confession of Faith ,
D.L. Moody,
R.C Sproul,
Matthew Henry,
Thomas Watson
Eastern Orthodox Catechism
The Catholic Catechism

A simple question would be in response to Eph 6:1-2 "which unit of LAW has the 5th commandment as the first commandment with a promise"?? Because in Eph 6 -- Paul says it is still in for us all.

Yes that is one of the 613 brought over from the old covenant to the new covenant!

But I prefer the inspired apostle Paul that the law, engraven in stones is a ministry of death, and in Galatians he said that the law was a school master and we no longer need a school master. Also the writer of hebrews said the old has passed away and replaced by the new!

So you think the church is now required to keep the 1008 of the new covenant as well as the 613 of the old covenant? Do you go to church on Saturdays? So yo approve of your pastor profaning the Sabbath n order for him to do his work? Not nice!

Obeying the law does not gain anyone any more righteousness, get us to heaven, keeps us saved, or makes us closer to God!

Those who are under the spirit are not under the law!

 

[BobRyan]

1. Well I guess you can't get to 1050 commands in the NT without including something from the 613 in the OT.

2. New Covenant -- Old Testament - Jer 31:31-34 ... unchanged in the New Testament Heb 8:6-12

But I prefer to be thankful for the inspired apostle Paul teaching that the law that includes the 5th commandment as the "First commandment with a promise" Eph 6:1-2 is still written on the heart for Christians today just as it was in the New Covenant text of Jer 31:31-34

 

[BobRyan]

So you think the church is now required to keep the 1008 of the new covenant as well as the 613 of the old covenant?

I think that Jeremiah did not live in the New Testament age and so was not talking about the New Testament age when he wrote to his readers about the NEW Covenant.

Jer 31
31 “Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord. 33 “But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord, “I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the Lord, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.

Paul says this includes that law where the 5th commandment "is the first commandment with a promise" Eph 6:1-2 -- and so it would have been known to Jeremiah and his readers. This is irrefutable.

I am glad we have the inspire writing of the Apostle Paul.

 

[BobRyan]

Obeying the law does not gain anyone any more righteousness, get us to heaven, keeps us saved, or makes us closer to God!

Paul says rebellion against the Word of God is not the path to heaven Romans 2:13 I believe the Apostle Paul

Christians filled with the Holy Spirit walk in obedience to the Word - Romans 6:1-16, 1 John 2:4-6, 1 John 5:2-3

1 Cor 7:19 "what matters is keeping the Commandments of God"

 

[SabbathBlessings]

Keep His commandments. So how you doing with teh other 603 that were given on teh same day as the ten written in stone?

2 Corinthians 3:7

There were a lot of traditions and ceremonial laws that are quite different than the laws written in Stone meant to be everlasting.

Isaiah said Gentiles should keep the Sabbath. “Also the sons of the stranger … every one that keeps the Sabbath … for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people .” Isaiah 56:6, 7. Thus the Sabbath is for Gentiles and “all people,” not just for Jews.

Gentiles kept the Sabbath in the Book of Acts. “The Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath … Paul and Barnabas … persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.”‘ Acts 13:42, 43. Here saved-by-grace Gentiles kept the Sabbath (see also verse 44).

“All” mankind will keep the Sabbath in the New Earth. In “the new earth … from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, says the Lord.” Isaiah 66:22, 23.

Gentiles kept the Sabbath in the Book of Acts. “The Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath … Paul and Barnabas … persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.”
“The law” [of Ten Commandments] is for “all the world,” not just for Jews. Paul wrote these words. Read Romans 2:17-23; 3:19, 23.

Wish you the best in finding peace. We are probably at an impasse so I will leave it at this. God bless.

That law also includes don't eat shellfish and pork and split hooved animals and not wear mixed fabric. I don't see you seeking to enforce them as well.

2 Corinthians 3:6-8
King James Version

6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:

8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?

Paul says rebellion against the Word of God is not the path to heaven Romans 2:13 I believe the Apostle Paul

Romans 4
King James Version

4 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?

2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.

3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

The way to heaven is trust in teh death burial and resurrection of Jesus as the payment of you r sin debt plus nothing. Works do not save nor maintain salvation.

There were a lot of traditions and ceremonial laws that are quite different than the laws written in Stone meant to be everlasting.

Show the verse that the laws written in stone which minister death are everlasting to all people?

Isaiah said Gentiles should keep the Sabbath. “Also the sons of the stranger … every one that keeps the Sabbath … for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people .” Isaiah 56:6, 7. Thus the Sabbath is for Gentiles and “all people,” not just for Jews.

Yes if you were residing in Israel. Not if you were in Philistia or Tyre or anywhere else!

Gentiles kept the Sabbath in the Book of Acts. “The Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath … Paul and Barnabas … persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.”‘ Acts 13:42, 43. Here saved-by-grace Gentiles kept the Sabbath (see also verse 44).

Wrong again!!! Paul always went to the synagogues FIRST and preached there for as long as he was welcome. People met in the synagogue on the Sabbath so the gentiles of these gentile towns would ask for Paul to preach to them after he preached to the Jews which was on the Sabbath. These gentiles were idolaters and worshipped idols before they became Christians. There was no Sabbath rule for them. Shame on you for pushing this into that verse.

“All” mankind will keep the Sabbath in the New Earth. In “the new earth … from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, says the Lord.” Isaiah 66:22, 23.

Yep but we ain't there yet!

Gentiles kept the Sabbath in the Book of Acts. “The Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath … Paul and Barnabas … persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.”

The early church (including most of the Jewish church ) met on Sunday in honor of the resurrection!
I already posted the verse that proves this.

“The law” [of Ten Commandments] is for “all the world,” not just for Jews. Paul wrote these words. Read Romans 2:17-23; 3:19, 23.

And I already posted the verses tha tprove your "just the ten commandments" is so wrong.

 

[Bro.T--2]

To all:

What you will not find in the New Testament after Christ's death is a command to keep the Sabbath. Neither will you find in the New Testament (after His resurrection) any reference of how the Lord's day is still the Sabbath. The New Covenant went into effect officially with Christ's death. Hebrews 7:12 says the Law has changed. Show me where after Christ's death where the Lord's day is still the Sabbath. Show me a command in the New Testament after Christ's death that we must keep the Saturday Sabbath. You will not find such things.

The Apostle Paul understood Sabbath day after the death of Jesus, this he knew and kept Gods law including the seventh day sabbath.

Now lets take a look at; (Acts 13:13-15, 42, 44) (v.13) Now when Paul and his company loosed from Pa’-phus, they came to Per’-ga in Pam-phyl’-I-a: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem. (v.14) But when they departed from Per’-ga, they came to An’-ti-och in Pi-sid’-I-a, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down. Paul went into the church (synagogue) on the sabbath day the seventh day not the first day (Sunday). (v.15) And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on. (v.42) And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. The Gentiles didn’t asked Paul to come preach us something different next Sunday. They wanted Paul to preach to them the same thing that he taught the Jews, the next sabbath.

Even the Gentiles knew that if they were going to serve the same God that Paul and the Jews (Israelites) served that they would have to serve him on the day that God had set up. (v.42) And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God. Not the next Sunday but the next sabbath.

Pastor Doug Bachelor of Amazing Facts does a great job of explaining the Sabbath and the Lords Day. The visuals are not like Pastor Doug but the scripture is all based on the Bible and outlining the popular debates similar to this thread.

Yes that is one of the 613 brought over from the old covenant to the new covenant!

1. Well I guess you can't get to 1050 commands in the NT without including something from the 613 in the OT.

2. New Covenant -- Old Testament - Jer 31:31-34 ... unchanged in the New Testament Heb 8:6-12

But I prefer to be thankful for the inspired apostle Paul teaching that the law that includes the 5th commandment as the "First commandment with a promise" Eph 6:1-2 is still written on the heart for Christians today just as it was in the New Covenant text of Jer 31:31-34

That law also includes don't eat shellfish and pork and split hooved animals

indeed it does.

And Isaiah 66 says this -- about not eating rat sandwiches.

Isaiah 66
15 For behold, the Lord will come in fire
And His chariots like the whirlwind,
To render His anger with fury,
And His rebuke with flames of fire.
16 For the Lord will execute judgment by fire
And by His sword on all flesh,
And those slain by the Lord will be many.
17 “Those who sanctify and purify themselves to go to the gardens,
Following one in the center,
Who eat swine’s flesh, detestable things and mice,
Will come to an end altogether,” declares the Lord.


What does that fact have to do with claiming we can ignore God's Word - we can take God's name in vain - and so ignore Ex 20:7??

 

[BobRyan]

The way to heaven is trust in teh death burial and resurrection of Jesus as the payment of you r sin debt plus nothing. Works do not save nor maintain salvation.
.

True - but as Paul points out in Romans 6 -- that fact is not an argument for ignoring the Word of God - for sinning without regard to the will of God.

 

[nolidad]

What does that fact have to do with claiming we can ignore God's Word - we can take God's name in vain - and so ignore Ex 20:7??

Because I am a member of teh New TEstament people of God known as the church/ the body of Christ/ teh espoused to Jesus and not the Old covenant people of God known as Israel.

I do not take Gods name in vain because it is found in the Old Covenant, but I do not because it is a command for the church!

I eat shellfish and pork and the other forbidden foods to the Old covenant people because in the New Covenant, Jesus declared all foods clean (just like he did prior to Israel when Noah left the Ark except for blood)

True - but as Paul points out in Romans 6 -- that fact is not an argument for ignoring the Word of God - for sinning without regard to the will of God.

Check your clothes then. For if they are mixed fabric, you are literally living in sin !

And Isaiah 66 says this -- about not eating rat sandwiches.

Isaiah 66
15 For behold, the Lord will come in fire
And His chariots like the whirlwind,
To render His anger with fury,
And His rebuke with flames of fire.
16 For the Lord will execute judgment by fire
And by His sword on all flesh,
And those slain by the Lord will be many.
17 “Those who sanctify and purify themselves to go to the gardens,
Following one in the center,
Who eat swine’s flesh, detestable things and mice,
Will come to an end altogether,” declares the Lord.

And you simply forget who was Isaiah prophesying to! Israel! Jesus told us nothing that enters the belly can defile a man! He didn't violate the Old Covenant, He fulfilled it and rendered it null and void. And because Israel was so disobedient, it caused God to make a New covenant with them and end the old covenant which was the 613 Commands of the Torah!

How you doing keeping teh feast of tabernacles? First fruits? Pentecost? Passover? Unleavened Bread ?

True - but as Paul points out in Romans 6 -- that fact is not an argument for ignoring the Word of God - for sinning without regard to the will of God.

NO that fact causes us to be vborn again and become a brand new creature! One who is now enabled to obey God because we are declared dead and the Holy Spirit lives i nus and eempowers us to finally obey God!

But I prefer to be thankful for the inspired apostle Paul teaching that the law that includes the 5th commandment as the "First commandment with a promise" Eph 6:1-2 is still written on the heart for Christians today just as it was in the New Covenant text of Jer 31:31-34

Yes it is one of the commands from teh old covenant of 613 commands that was carried over to the new.

But seeing as you are so demanding of the Sabbath, let me ask again as you have not answered this.

Are you fine with having your pastor profane th esabbath by him going to his job and preaching on the sabbath? YOu won't find one command of God that says go to church on the Sabbath and make your pastor work.

 

[Bible Highlighter]

The Apostle Paul understood Sabbath day after the death of Jesus, this he knew and kept Gods law including the seventh day sabbath.

Now lets take a look at; (Acts 13:13-15, 42, 44) (v.13) Now when Paul and his company loosed from Pa’-phus, they came to Per’-ga in Pam-phyl’-I-a: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem. (v.14) But when they departed from Per’-ga, they came to An’-ti-och in Pi-sid’-I-a, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down. Paul went into the church (synagogue) on the sabbath day the seventh day not the first day (Sunday). (v.15) And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on. (v.42) And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. The Gentiles didn’t asked Paul to come preach us something different next Sunday. They wanted Paul to preach to them the same thing that he taught the Jews, the next sabbath.

Even the Gentiles knew that if they were going to serve the same God that Paul and the Jews (Israelites) served that they would have to serve him on the day that God had set up. (v.42) And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God. Not the next Sunday but the next sabbath.

Paul was not keeping the Sabbath as an example for us or for anyone else to follow. Paul merely was preaching on the Sabbath so as to reach Jews. The Jews gathered on Saturday to worship, and so Paul chose this day to speak to them so as to reach them for the Lord. The fact that the Gentiles happened to be there does not change anything. Paul did not command anyone to keep the Sabbath, and nor did he say that he kept the Sabbath as an example for others to follow, either.

You might want consider revising your tag line:
Jesus says,
"if you love me, keep my commandments"
(John 14:15).

The 4th Commandment is part of the 10 Commandments.

Mathew 5:19
Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

 

[SabbathBlessings]

I find it odd that some people want to think the only Commandment that has the word "Holy" and the only Commandment that starts with "Remember" is the Commandment that some people thinks God wants us to forget. What is it about this Commandment that evokes this kind of reaction? If its not coming from God its only coming from another source.

Not important to God?

The Sabbath is mentioned so many times in the Bible it has too many characters to repeat here.
