• Sabbath Rest: Why I Am...

I am a 7th day Sabbath keeper Because the LORD blessed and sanctified it. And what God has blessed no man can say God did away with it. People who think that God did away with his law need to say it to God's face.
1. I am a 7th day Sabbath keeper because it is a commandment by God.
2. I am a 7th day Sabbath keeper because God rested on This day
3. I am a 7th day Sabbath keeper because I'm not under the authority of the Roman Catholic churches mark of authority (sunday observance).
4. I am a 7th day Sabbath keeper because it will be kept in heaven.
Are you doing any work , using a stove ,cooking , bearing any burden carrying anything.
to - "Shelly Blanchard", Jesus told a person to pick up his bed (which could have been heavy) to carry home, on the Sabbath. Jesus made it clear that the Sabbath should not be a burden to keep.
+DocScience2 back then they were not that big they were like pallet or sleeping bag
(Thomas) Three Encourager Romans 10:4: "For Christ is the end of the Law." The Law covenant was between God and the Israelites only. Christians, followers of Jesus, are under the New covenant, that became operative on the basis of Christ's death.
If Christ is the end of the Law like He ended the Law.
Does it mean that we can steal or covet now?
The Sabbbath song is very spiritually uplifting, wow!
The Laws of the Mosaic Covenant are fulfilled in Christ - The Law and the Sabbath were pointing to Christ, it was a shadow of what was to come, and not the substance (Colossians 2:16-17). Jesus said that He came not to abolish the law but to fulfill the law (Matthew 5:17). In fulfilling the law, He completed the law. How did He do this? Jesus fulfilled the Law by obeying the law perfectly and by completing the sacrificial system. Jesus saves to the uttermost! In what way can we offer one more sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins? Jesus pronouncement, “It is finished,” signified the completion and fulfillment of the law.
Jesus fulfilled the Law.
Matthew 5:17-18.
We are no longer under the Law but Grace. Romans 6:14.
Romans 10:4.
Galatians 3:23-25.
These are the greatest Commandments.
Matthew 22:36-34.
Mark 12:28-34.
Let me ask you a question. Did you receive the Holy Spirit by works of the Law. Or by the hearing of faith.
Galatians 3:2-3.
We will be keeping the Sabbath in the new heaven and the new earth.
Isaiah 66:22-23.
I will never understand these professing Christians who do not keep the Sabbath? Jesus Himself kept the Sabbath so, I guess these so-called Christians who don't keep the Sabbath think they are better than Jesus Christ? I joined what I thought was a Christian forum called; The Watchman's Cry Forum and as soon as I brought up the Sabbath & why many Christians don't obey it... I was immediately banned from the forum? That's a record for the shortest time for membership of any forum, lol. Great video, love the music & peace be with you.
It because Sabbath was not made for man or Christians
checkout 119 ministries and Michael Rood they know the importance of keeping the Sabbath and the other commandments
Michael Sprayberry Under the old covenant it was manditory to keep the Sabbath as a ritual. But now we are not under manditory because Jesus said to come to him for our rest. We are under the Sabbath covenant anymore else there would a lot of stone throwing.
Keeping the Sabbath is not a ritual,we rest on the Sabbath because we love the father Yahovah and his son Yeshua.You need to see things the way the early beleivers did,not from a westernized point of veiw,checkout 119 ministries and Michael Rood for truth
Bo Hector You can be a sabbath keeper and still meet up on the 1st day of the week. Its biblical the deciples and the early church prayed together and worshiped together and broke bread together on the sunday.
So all you people are doing is causing devision God wants unity he hates devision.
GENESIS 1:31
THE EVENING COMES BEFORE THE MORNING AND IS THE 6TH DAY
GENESIS 2:1-3
THE 7TH NIGHT AND THE 7TH DAY IS THE SABBATH
by so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant.
Hebrews 7:22
For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.
Hebrews 8:7
“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.
Matthew 5:17
So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ.
Colossians 2:16-17
But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
Galatians 3:23-25
Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.
John 6:47
By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
John 13:35
This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
John 15:12
And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment.
I John 3:23
Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.
John 6:47, 56
And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
Hebrews 9:15
Jesus is Lord over the Sabbath, the Sabbath along with the written laws were a shadow of that to come, Jesus. Jesus came and abolished those laws. Jesus Himself is our Holy Rest (hebrews 4: 9-10) We are free in Christ and live by abiding in Christ and His love and by faith always seeking the Lord
Jade Galat new covenant in his blood, Not new commandments in his blood,. Hebrew God found fault with them,not with His laws,
Acts20:7 one of sabbath
1Corth 16:2 one of sabbath
Not first day of week
#1520 Mai - one
#3588 - of (of the)
#4521 - Sabbton seventh day 7th day Sabbath
Look it up in the original Greek,,. The reason why pastors don't preach it they can't collect money on Sunday anymore, think of it did Jesus are any apostles quote from Malachi 3:10 Rob God in tithes???? No. circumcision was the biggest argument with the Jews for Gentiles,
Acts15:21 Gentiles heard from the law every Sabbath day.
Matthew 23:1 Jesus said to observe and do all they read from the seat of Moses.
Only the laws was preach from the seat of Moses nothing else.
Study and find out what pleases Goodnight
The Sabbath Law is not changed from Saturday to Sunday - The tradition of the Christian church is to meet together on Sunday, the first day of the week. Some interpret this day of meeting as the day in which the Sabbath, the seventh day of the week, was changed to be fulfilled on the first day of the week (hence the term, Christian Sabbath). In support of this view, three Scripture references are given to show that Sunday is now the Sabbath day for Christians (Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 16:2, Revelation 1:10). However, within the context of these passages, there is no reference to the Sabbath nor is there any element of the Sabbath law. It is certainly possible to construe from these passages that indeed the New Testament church carries on the tradition of gathering together for fellowship, breaking of bread, teaching, and worship, However, it is not possible to interpret from these passages that the New Testament church gathers on Sunday to fulfill the Sabbath law. Any interpretation of this as being a Sabbath for the New Testament church requires a large amount of eisegesis. Scripture is absent of any direction or commandment is given by God that advocates the changing of the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. If indeed we are to fulfill the Sabbath law of the Decalogue today, as some would suggest, it takes a lot of gall and outright rebellion to change what God called holy, the seventh day, to the first day of the week without having distinct direction from God. After all, what were the Apostles thinking to blatantly omit any instructions of the Sabbath observance? Unless, of course, they believed the Mosaic Covenant and the Sabbath obvservance to be obsolete.
You may be Sabbath keeping, but as an Adventist you are not a Christian because you believe in a false gospel.
Beautiful song
GENESIS 1:31
IF AN ANGEL CAME DOWN AND TOLD THE WORLD TO BE AT A CERTAIN PLACE ON FRIDAY NIGHT, ONLY A REMNANT WOULD HAVE SHOWN UP. IN BIBLICAL TIMES, AT THE END OF FRIDAY WHEN IT BECAME DARK IT WAS SATURDAY NIGHT THE 7TH NIGHT OF THE WEEK
ruclips.net/video/4H-W6WIrXMU/видео.html. In this video the speaker explains why he decided to stop worshiping on Sunday and switch to worshiping on Saturday.
The Sabbath
You can be a sabbath keeper and still meet up on the 1st day of the week. Its biblical the deciples and the early church prayed together and worshiped together and broke bread together on the sunday.
So all you people are doing is causing devision God wants unity he hates devision.
Many people like the guy in the have a stiff thing about keeping certain days. The devil can also open door to decieve a person. Paul said believe not every spirit.
Id like to debate with you, lets set it up
Antonio Evans Why people want to keep the law of the old testament and not the law of the New testament , I don't know. I think they have doubt that Jesus is God on earth, they don't believe that Jesus is our rest same as he was in the old testament.
So in the Law of the New Testament, you can steal or kill?
Shelly Blanchard there's different laws paul speaks of, and many people have trouble discerning which one he's speaking of, Old Testament and New Testament law are unbiblical concepts

ISAIAH 66:22-23
Heb 8:13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
This is the verse that say the Old Covenant where sabbath is part of it, was made obsolete and to be done away with. Incidentally it was done away with in AD70 where the jewish belief system was completely destroyed and it was prophesied by Jesus himself in Matthew 24. To follow an obsolete law is ludicrous and in complete hostility to the word of Jesus when there is a new covenant being introduced by him. Who is greater than our Lord, Jesus Christ? Please show me a verse in the New Covenant that we should still have to keep the sabbath of the Old Covenant. I challenged you if you dare to quote a single verse in the New Covenant to support your claim as I have quoted above my contention. We as Christians find our rest in Jesus, the Lord of the sabbath and we celebrate on Sunday because it was the day of his resurrection. Thank you
Tan Ewelee Paul had trouble with them about circumcision least part of the laws, 1Coth 7;19 circumcision is nothing,but keeping the Commandments of God,
Acts 15:1 circumcision to keep the law of Moses,
Acts 15:21 Gentiles will hear from the seat of Moses every Sabbath,
13:27 voice of Prophets read every Sabbath,
Matthew 23:1-3 Pharrisees read from seat of Moses, observe and do, but don't act like them.
Only the Torah was read from the seat of Moses.
John 7:38-39 believe on Me as the scriptures say,
Jesus is talking about the Torah,, gospels and letters was not put together yet,
Acts 17: Paul preach Jesus from the scriptures for 3 sabbaths,
God gave 10 commandments not 9 of them.from front to back of the Bible it says keep His commandments,
Change in the law from bulls,goats,calves burnt offerings to the body of Christ..
Genesis 7:2 God told Noah to take the clean animals by sevens (7) and the unclean animals by twos(2) the clean animals are for food and sacrifice for you.
sounds like food laws in the beginning??

Tom George. Here is my reply.
Firstly, you quoted 1co7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God. what about this verse? are you implying keeping of the commandments of God" as meaning that we must be keeping the 10 commandments which is part of the mosaic covenant. I have quoted to you Heb8:13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. With the introduction of the new covenant the mosaic covenant of which the 10 commandments are part of is now abrogated. Then what does Apostle really mean "keeping of the commandments of God"? It is plain and simple as it dosen't mean keeping of the mosaic commandments as it is now done away with but it says keeping God's commandents found from genesis to revelation. As evidenced in the bible, God gave out his commands eg "believed and you will be saved" "without holiness no man can see God" etc etc. There are thousands of God's command all over the new & old testament. Surely you are fully aware of it if you are a teacher of the bible.
If Paul meant as you claimed to keep the 10 commandments then Paul had contradicted Heb8:13 which I don't think Paul would do so because the bible dosen't contradicts itself.
Secondly, you quoted acts15:1 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
(Act 15:6) And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.
(Act 15:24) Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
.in acts15:1 which you quoted above; its meaning that there is a brethren from Judaea who claimed that you must be circumcised as commanded by moses, if not you cannot be saved. Please read the bible in its context in order to get the true meaning of a given verse.
.in acts15:6 it says the apostles and elders came together to consider the matter as claimed by one brethren as quoted in acts15:1 to see whether the statment is true
.in acts15:24 it says the elders in Jerusalemm heard a certain man from judaea claimed as quoted in acts15:1 that he was send by the elders in jerusalem with a message that unless you are circumcised you cannot be saved but the elders in jerusalem confirmed that they didn't gave such command.
thus acts15:1 is a false declaration because the law of Moses was abrogated as the scripture says (Gal 5:6) For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth(counts for) any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. What is your purpose in quoting Acts15:1?
Thirdly, you quoted (Act 15:21) For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day. Moses was preaching the law where the mosaic covenant was effective in his time. It dosen't say moses preached to gentiles as you claimed.
Fourthly, you quoted 13:27; the ancient israelites was under the law and their prophets certainly have to observed the sabbath but now we are not under the law but under the law of grace.
Fifthly, you quoted Matthew 23:1-3 Pharrisees read from seat of Moses, observe and do, but don't act like them. When Jesus came he was born under the law and there was no new testament yet. Certainly Jesus have to follow the order of the day ie the scriptures from the Old Testament. Jesus was operating under the law which was before his death on the cross. After the cross only the new covenant became effective and the law which is part of the old covenant was abrogated.
Sixthly, you quoted john7:38-39; (Joh 7:38) He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.- yes, refer Gen15:6-
(Joh 7:39) (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) Yes, agreed Jesus was speaking about the scripture as the letters and the gospels were not there yet but remember Jesus as I have said earlier that He was operating under the law and thus only scripture is their reference point. But notice John7:39 it says the Holy Ghost was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Seventhly, you quoted acts17; paul in his time would visit the synagouge to preached to the jews first as the jews gathered only on the sabbath. Paul ministry was of grace and he was not a sabbath keeper. Certainly paul was trying to convinced the jews that Jesus is their Messiah as prophesied in the scripture eg Isa53, Ps2 etc. Christ even quoted in Gen3:15, Gen17:7 in fact christ even said all the scripture was talking about him.
Eightly, God gave 613 commandments under the mosaic covenant of which the 10 commandments were part of it. You further claimed from front to back of the bible it says keep His commandments. I proved to you 1Co7:19 which you quoted earlier that "keeping the commandments" dosen't always mean we are to keep the 10 commandments under the mosaic covenants. Please refer back to my first comment as stated above.
Ninthly, you quoted Gen7:2 in the noahaic covenant and it dosen't sounds like food laws in the beginning as God intended to inherit the offsprings from those animals.
Lastly, you haven't prove to me why sabbath keeping is mandatory as Christians of today.
Do you care to challenged my above contentions? Thanks
Tan Ewelee You stop reading in Acts15, go to Acts 15:21 Moses is read every Sabbath,.
Matthew 5:17 Jesus said until all is fulfilled not one law will pass,
Jesus fulfilled scriptures concerning the suffering servant,but not all scriptures are fulfilled yet,. Still got to come back, then all that is written after that,
Rev21:1-4 new heaven and new earth,then Jesus said it is done,
New covenant in his blood and circumcision of the heart are fulfilled,
Change in the law,no more animals blood, and the Spirit in you that is circumcision of the heart, every time you hear keep the Commandments the Sabbath is top 5 of them, Jesus did not add are subtract from the word of God,no man can add to God's word,. when you read Paul's letters read the whole letter,be 2Peter 3:16 Peter warned us that untaught unlearn men twist Paul's letters that are hard to understand that unlearn men twist as they twist the scriptures to their own destruction, if Paul's letters were hard to understand in the original language, you don't think that his letters are hard to understand two translations latter??
It was circumcision and traditions and doctrine of men they argue about,
Not the laws of God
Tan Ewelee go back and read the gospels, don't listen to men,
Matthew 7:21 Jesus said that people that do miracles in his name cast out demons,He will tell them depart from Me you who practice lawlessness,. Lawless-lawlessness, is men with out God's laws,
Tan Ewelee I will give you some thing to study,
Acts 20:7 and 1Corth 16:2
In the original Greek
One of sabbath,
#1520 - One,, man put first day
#3588 - of-(of the)
#4521 sabbaton- Sabbath seventh day, men put week, and every time you read first day of the week it's always around Passover are Pentecost, Acts 20:6 Unleaven bread: Acts 20:16 Pentecost.
1Corth 16:8 Pentecost,
There goes your Sunday worship,
John 19:31 that next day was a high sabbath day,
Deut 23: Jews counted 7 high sabbath days that fell on the 16th of the month plus the weekly sabbath,. If you knew a little of hewbrew law you would understand the Bible a little better
If you want to keep the Sabbath that is fine, BUT as long as you understand that it is no longer mandatory law to do so. The 10 commandments is the old covenant, but Christ is the new covenant; who is a better covenant than the law and that is why the law has changed (Hebrews 7:12-22).
John Edward change in the law was the body of Jesus Hebrews 10:5-6 a body You have prepared for me, in burnt offerings and sacrifice You had no pleasure, I come to do your will, O God. It's new covenant in his blood,, the Bible dose not say new commandments in his blood,
Jeremiah 31:31 new covenant with Israel,
Romans 11 the Gentile are gratfted into the olive tree.
Jeremiah 11: Israel is the original Olive tree,
John Edward Hebrew 10:4 First covenant is the blood of animals.
Hebr 10:5 body prepared for him.
second covenant in his blood.
Change in the law, is the body of Christ instead of animals, and know circumcision of the heart, but all other laws stand until the new heaven and new earth come down.
Rev 21:4 Then Jesus said it is done, all is fulfilled. Matthew 5:17-19 still stands.
It's not ok to keep the Sabbath because it's a dead law.
“Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God” (Romans 7:4; ESV).
They have died to the Law of Moses through the body of Christ so that they can belong to Jesus, the law of Christ, so that they can bear fruit for God. Paul is teaching that we are under a new law, a better covenant. The Law of Moses is not the law for that law shows we are enslaved to sin. We are under the covenant of Christ, the new testament, that sets us free from sin through the death and resurrection of Jesus.

I keep Yahweh's Creation Sabbath because Yahweh put His LAWS in my mind.
Heb. 8: 8- 10. The NEW Covenant.
I do not keep the Sabbath because it is written in a book.
Rom. 2: 12. for the sinners.
Rom. 2: 13. For the born again ONES.
I tell you the truth.
Dan. 7: 11 says:" The 4TH beast dies first."
Dan. 7: 12 says:" The first 3 beasts will be alive for 1 year and 3 months LONGER than the 4TH beast.
For these scriptures to come to pass the 4 Beasts of Dan. 7 MUST be alive at the SAME time.
READ Daniel 7: 11 and ASK Yahweh:" WHICH beast dies first."?
In Dan. 7: 7 Yahweh will tell you that the 4TH beast dies first.
Very clear scriptures.
May Yahweh bless you and give you understanding of things to come.
bless you
God's sabbath must be kept I'm a proud seventh day adventist waiting on the lord to go home with him. Just wanted to say to all adventist hold on he's coming it won't be long. Decide for him anchor your self in him because only a heart that is anchor in him will be saved.
Sabbath is mentioned 59 times in the New Testament.
As a matter of fact, the Temple is mentioned 115 times, yet we are not obligated to go to the temple for worship today, while there was such a command in the Old Testament. "The people of the land shall also worship at the doorway of that gate before the LORD on the Sabbaths and on the new moons" (Ezekiel 46:3).
Circumcision is mentioned 55 times in the New Testament, yet is not bound. In Acts 15, the Jerusalem conference dealt with the problem of Jewish converts seeking to bind circumcision on the Gentile converts. Peter, who was the first of the apostles to go to the Gentiles (cf. Cornelius in Acts 10), stood up and testified, "Now therefore why do you put God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?" (Acts 15:10). The "yoke" referred to the Law of Moses in general, and circumcision in particular. Yet we know that in the Old Testament circumcision was God's law for the Jews. "He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant" (Genesis 17:13). Note that circumcision was a "must," and that it was an "everlasting covenant." But we note that this "everlasting covenant" was with Israel, and as noted before, was to continue "throughout their generations," so long as the nation existed.
If the necessity of circumcision, which was an everlasting covenant, is no longer bound, then the Sabbath, which was an everlasting covenant was also subject to coming to an end. If not, why not?
In addition, Passover is mentioned 28 times in the New Testament, yet we are not told to observe the Passover Feast. In fact, we have a new Passover-Christ. "Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed" (I Corinthians 5:7).
ACTS 17:2
IF THE SABBATH WAS NAILED TO THE CROSS THEN WHY DID PAUL KEEP IT ?
ACTS 13:42-44
WHY DIDN'T THE APOSTLES HOLD A SUNDAY MORNING SERVICE , INSTEAD THE WHOLE CITY CAME TOGETHER TO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD
Paul nor the other Apostles kept the Sabbath!
Jewish Christians observed the Sabbath in the Book of Acts.
In a period of transition, many of the Jews did not free themselves immediately from the Law. It was mentioned earlier that the conference in Acts 15 dealt with this very matter. Some Jewish converts were insisting that the Gentile converts had to submit to certain provisions of the Law, such as circumcision. But the apostles quickly showed that God had released men from the Law. "Now therefore why do you put God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?" (Acts 15:10).
Paul in Romans seeks to show that the Law did not make men righteous but instead gave them the knowledge of sin. Therefore there was a need for a new way of righteousness, the way of forgiveness through faith in Jesus’ sacrifice. He wanted his readers to understand that those who accept the sacrifice of Christ are living “under grace” and such would not produce a life of sin (as many thought) but a life of righteousness. Thus in Romans 7:1-6 Paul answers the question, “Shall we live in sin because we are under grace rather than under law?”
MATTHEW 12:38-40
JESUS SAID HE WOULD BE IN THE HEART OF THE EARTH 3 DAYS AND 3 NIGHTS, THEN ACCORDING TO GENESIS 1:13 THE EVENING COMES BEFORE THE MORNING.
MATTHEW 20:19 IF JESUS ROSE ON THE 3RD DAY, THEN THE 3RD NIGHT WOULD HAVE ALREADY PASSED. MATTHEW 28:1 AT THE END OF THE SABBATH AS IT BEGAN TO DAWN TOWARDS THE (1ST NIGHT) OF THE 1ST DAY OF THE WEEK THEY WENT TO THE TOMB AND THE ANGEL SAID WHY SEEK YE THE LIVING AMONG THE DEAD HE IS RISEN

Did Jesus keep the Sabbath?
Certainly Jesus kept the Sabbath. He lived under the Law Moses. "But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law" (Galatians 4:4). As an observant Jew, Jesus was circumcised (Luke 2:21.) He kept the Passover (Luke 22:15). There is no mention of his observing the Sabbath after his resurrection, even though he remained on the earth for some 40 days. That would include at least five Sabbath days.
The reason we find no further observance of the Sabbath is seen in the fact that the Sabbath and other Old Testament observances were abolished at the death of Christ. "When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him. Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day-things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ" (Colossians 2:13-17).
The Scripture says Christ took the decrees out of the way, having nailed them to the cross. Therefore, we are not to be judged any more concerning food or drink (dietary laws), or the observance of special days (including Sabbath days) or seasons. One commentary states: "The word 'judge' here is used in the sense of pronouncing a sentence. The meaning is, `since you have thus been delivered by Christ from the evils which surrounded you; since you have been freed from the observances of the law, let no one sit in judgment on you, or claim the right to decide for you in those matters'" (Albert Barnes). The apostle Paul, by inspiration declares that the Sabbath day has no more significance to us any more than the feast days, etc. We do not live under the Old Testament system at this time.
Do you want to follow Yahovah or do you want to follow the commandments of men?Matt: 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the Law or the prophets,I am not come to destroy,but to fulfil. Keep the commandments,if you don't you only show you don't love Yeshua and what he did for you on the cross,you are a hypocrite.
Michael Sprayberry ORIGIN OF THE CROSS If the Bible does not really say that Jesus was executed on a cross, then why do all the churches that claim to teach and follow the Bible----Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox-----adorn their buildings with the cross and use it as a symbol of their faith? How did the cross come to be such a popular symbol? The answer is that the cross is venerated not only by churchgoers who claim to follow the Bible but also by people far removed from the Bible and whose worship far predates that of "Christian" churches. Numerous religious works of acknowledge that the use of crosses in various shapes and forms goes back to remote periods of human civilization. For example, ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and depictions of their gods and goddesses often show a cross in the shape of a T with a circle at the top. It is called the ansate, or handle-shaped, cross and is thought to be a symbol of life. In time, this form of the cross was adopted and used extensively by the Coptic Church and others. According to The Catholic Encyclopedia, "the primitive form of the cross seems to have been that of the so-called 'gamma' cross, better known to Orientalists and students of prehistoric archaeology by its Sanskrit name, swastika." This sign was widely used among Hindus in India and Buddhists throughout Asia and is still seen in decorations and ornaments in those areas.
Did Jesus keep the Sabbath?

"When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him. Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day-things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ" (Colossians 2:13-17).
The Scripture says Christ took the decrees out of the way, having nailed them to the cross. Therefore, we are not to be judged any more concerning food or drink (dietary laws), or the observance of special days (including Sabbath days) or seasons. One commentary states: "The word 'judge' here is used in the sense of pronouncing a sentence. The meaning is, `since you have thus been delivered by Christ from the evils which surrounded you; since you have been freed from the observances of the law, let no one sit in judgment on you, or claim the right to decide for you in those matters'" (Albert Barnes). The apostle Paul, by inspiration declares that the Sabbath day has no more significance to us any more than the feast days, etc. We do not live under the Old Testament system at this time.
You can be a sabbath keeper and still meet up on the 1st day of the week. Its biblical the deciples and the early church prayed together and worshiped together and broke bread together on the sunday.
So all you people are doing is causing devision God wants unity he hates devision.
Paul 1CORINTHIANS 16:1-2
WE ARE NOT TO GATHER ON THE 1ST DAY OF THE WEEK, WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING
RESTING ON THE SABBATH
Basically, there are three views of the Sabbath. The Seventh-Day Adventists believe that Saturday is the Sabbath today and should be kept by Christians. While they are correct to say that God called the seventh day a “Sabbath” (a day of rest), they are incorrect to say that God wants Christians to observe the Sabbath like the Jews did. Next to them are the majority of Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant churches, who believe that Sunday is the Sabbath and should be kept by Christians. They are correct to teach that Christians should assemble to worship on Sundays, but incorrect to call Sunday “the Sabbath.” Finally, there is the biblical view which states from the Old Testament that Saturday was the Sabbath, the day of rest, and proclaims from the New Testament that Christians are not obligated to keep it.
What about the Christian Sabbath?
- Christians are to worship together, not on Saturday (the Sabbath), but on Sunday, the first day of the week. Acts 20:7, I Corinthians 16:2
- Sunday is never called "the Christian Sabbath" in the New Testament.Today there is neither Jew nor Greek. Galatians 3:23-28
- There is a "rest" coming for the faithful Christian. Hebrews 4:1, 4-11
Constantine (325 AD) DID NOT change the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday as Sabbath keepers falsely teach. Christians never kept the Sabbath from the apostolic age (33 AD) through the time of Constantine (325AD). Constantine merely made the first "Sunday closure law", since it had already been the day Christians worship for 300 years!
