- Have you ever wondered why we celebrate the Sabbath on Sunday?
Have you asked yourself, what does Jesus mean when he says, “Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfil them." (Mt 5:17) And why does this new covenant change the Sabbath? "...This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood." (Lk. 22:20)
Today, Fr. Mike delves into the scriptural roots of the Sabbath and why we as Catholics celebrate it on Sunday and not Saturday as the Jewish people still do today.

God said "Remember" the Sabbath. Friday sunset to Saturday sunset. Sunday can't just become the Lord's day. God never blessed and hallowed Sunday. You just proved Saturday is Sabbath from your explanation.
The Lord's Day is literally brought up in Revelation 1:10. It's also brought up in Acts 20:7. The first day of the week in the Hebrew calendar is Sunday
The law of God will never changed.God is the same yesterday, today and forever. Amen
Leviticus 15.20 today, Leviticus 15.20 tomorrow, Leviticus 15.20 forever!
@nat turner THATs so clear He didnt come to '"Abolish the Law" but to "Fulfill", correct. BUT, Give me the chapter that the word "Sabbath" is "fulfilled"? Brother, "LAW" not sabbath, there is a lot of LAW in the bible. if its fulfilled I tell you its NOT Gods Law and or The 10 Commandments. What Christ talking about is the LAW from mankind sense from Abraham, Isaac, Moses, Jacob, and etc. that is the law, like Circumcision and sacrificing the Lamb, cause Christ is now the lamb who will sacrifice for our sin, and other law from them, not from GOD's Law, nor the Sabbath day. There is non in the bible that the "LAW of GOD" has been fulfilled" or "The 10 Commandments" has been fulfilled or "The Sabbath Day" has been fulfilled. Dont be fool!
Prove all things brother -1 Thessalonians 5:21-28
Do you keep the festival of the trumpets too?
then why did God establish a new covenant in Matthew 26:28?
Jesus died so the penalty of the Law would be removed from all who believe.

Lol wow
He meant Jews before christ. Jews after Christ worship satan
Amén! Hebrew catholic here! ❤️
Exactly!

Stay blessed, Sofia☆
Exodus 20:8-11 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
I was raised SDA, and heard this a lot.
@@Freely_Accepted I was raised SDA and still am a practicing SDA.
I believe Saturday is the Sabbath.
It doesn’t seem to me, the more I study, that Christ explicitly changed sabbath to Sunday. But rather more so tradition from early Christian’s saying that “because they gathered on the Lord’s day” sabbath is now Sunday?
Just doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.
@@christiansoto9947 Signals of old covenant and new covenant.
The living covenant. Being The Christ.
Also: If we look into Sabbath- Sat. Is Saturns day- not necessarily the “Seventh-Day”.
My wife is still practicing SDA. I don’t have anything negative to say. We are all supposed to be United under Christ and not divided by denomination- Lest we end up like Pharisees- of which I was… Looking down on others because we think we are “keeping laws”.
When the commands Christ gave were “That ye Love one another as I have loved you.”
I was a Pharisaic Protestant… Failing to see that God has also commanded we do not “Judge them according to what they eat,drink,wear or their sabbaths.”
Finding out Sabbath- High sabbath- low sabbath-monthly sabbath-yearly sabbath-weekly sabbath- Sunday would then be considered a low Sabbath-
And according to the old Julian calendar- Pre Gregorian- Sunday would fall on Day 7 because there were 8 days.
On top of all this mess… The Gregorian calendar is a pagan one. Named after strange gods…
For me… Acceptance of Christ, the Holy Trinity (Father,Son,Spirit), and the sacrifice that Christ made on the cross for you, me, and every single person who believes in Him… Is of upmost importance…
“If ye believe in me. Ye are saved already.”
Why just keep the sabbath but don’t follow the other commandments. Love thy neighbor as thy self, thou shall not lie or steal and it goes on so it’s not just keeping the sabbath that get you through you all need to follow all ten
I agree with you that is biblical
Goodness. How many years I’ve wanted the answer to THIS question. Thank you
Check dr Pitre Brant video as well
Hi if a person was to go to the cross we would find the day Jesus kept as of the 7th day sabbath
The Jewish people called the 6th day was preparation day
The Christian faith calls this good Friday
The gospel of Jesus christ states the next day was the sabbath
That Saturday
Then on the first day of the week which is Sunday Jesus rose from his tomb
The gospel tells that the apostle and the church rest on the sabbath do to the 4th commandment of God
We need to asks ourselves a question?
Why did Jesus and his father wait until Sunday morning to bring Jesus back to life
They waited a whole day until the sabbath was over to bring Jesus back to life
Here is the answer we're looking for.
The father and son had to obey their own law of God because the 10 commandments are a reflection of sin
The father and son won't sin
so they had to wait a full day in where they wouldn't break their own law for each other
for this would be an example for the rest of us on his holy day the 7th day sabbath
Friends Jesus told us nothing in his laws would change from the dotting of the letter I or the crossing of the letter T would be altar in his law
So why is the Christian faith keeping the 1st day of the week ?
In order to understand all this then we have to understand what happened in 2nd thessalonians chapter 2 verse 3 an 4
2nd thessalonians chapter 2 verse 3 and 4
In no means let no man decieve you for first a great falling away will take place first and then the man of sin or the son of perdition will be revealed in his own time Who opposseth and exalteth himself above everything CALLED GOD and he siteths in a temple as of God
When it states as of God
This is insinuating that he sits on a throne on earth as of the father in heaven sits on a throne in heaven
For this individual would opposseth and exalteth himself above everything CALLED GOD ,
what are the title that Belong to Jesus and his father ?
The father in heaven is known as the HOLY FATHER
Mathew chapter 23 verse 9
Jesus tells us, call no man on earth your father but only the one you have in heaven
The pope comes along and he is a man who takes up the title of holy father in which that title is only given to the most high God in heaven
Then what about the title that belongs to Jesus himself
Dose the pope take up Jesus's own title?
In mathew chapter 16 verse 18
The pope proclaims he is the successor of Saint Peter
And then he the pope proclaims this makes him the Rock upon the church
In 1 corthinians chapter 10 verse 4
The apostle Paul Is telling us That Jesus christ is the Rock upon the church, Not peter
For in mathew chapter 16 verse 18 Jesus is the subject in that chapter and he Jesus is speaking of himself as the only Rock upon the church
In mathew chapter 7 verse 24 to 27
Does Jesus tell us to build our house of faith upon the apostle peter or upon the Rock which is Jesus christ
So the pope of Rome siteths in a temple and acting as God himself in heaven
What about he opposseth himself
What dose opposseth means ?
Opposseth means to be a representative for God in heaven or become the 3rd member of a party
What dose exalteth mean?
To be set at the highest level of rank or be reverence by many
So dose the pope opposseth himself above everything called God?
Answer yes he dose.
For here the facts to prove that the pope opposseth himself
For Jesus told us in his gospel that no man can go to the father without going thru Jesus frist
So the father becomes the 1st party
Then Jesus becomes the 2nd party
Then the pope comes along and he tells us if we are not within his catholic church we are found lost and they who are found lost have no relationship with Jesus
So without being in the catholic faith and going thru the popes own authority we will not have a relationship with Jesus and then lose the opportunity of seeing the father in heaven
So the pope is telling us, it's him who is on the bottom line of this structure, and he's the one who has the keys of heaven and nobody has a relationship with Jesus without going thru him first
What about exalteth himself
The pope proclaims he is the successor of Saint Peter the highest rank upon the catholic faith and he is reverence by 1.3 billion catholic and by the time Jesus returns that number will Tripple
So if the pope is the man of sin or the son of perdition in 2nd thessalonians chapter 2 verse 3 and 4
What is the definition of son of perdition?
Scripture tells us that definition
John chapter 17 verse 12
Jesus himself brings that title to an individual
John chapter 6 verse 70 and 71
Jesus points out who carries the title of son of perdition
The apostle judas was that man
Who was judas iscariot?
Let's examine judas
He was within the first church
He was apostle of Jesus for he volunteered to be his apostle
He betrayed Jesus and scattered the chuch by his agenda
Jesus calls this apostle of his the son of perdition
Here are some other titles Jesus give us
The son of man is Jesus christ
The sons of thunder are James and John the apostles for Jesus
The son of perdition is an apostle of Jesus who let the devil enter into him to betray Jesus
In 2nd thessalonians chapter 2 verse 3 and 4
The apostle Paul is using Jesus own ideal in John chapter 17 verse 12 to give the church a warning who will be the man of sin
The popes are the only men on earth who proclaim and carry the title of the princes of the apostles of the gentiles for Jesus christ
So the apostle Paul is telling the church look out for a man who claims he is an apostle for Jesus and he siteths in a temple and being as of God
The pope sits in the gentile temple in Rome Saint peter Cathedral friends
So what about the great falling before the son of perdition in verse 3
The pope recieve the throne of Caesar in 538ad justinian of pagan Rome seated a pope at the throne of Caesar and he vigilous ceased the cepther of Caesar and torch of Saint Peter and church and state became a union.
What event lead to this?
In 321ad Constantine Unites Christianity with paganism and then the rd was paved for a new religion and a church in where the whole would could unite under a deception
What happened in 321ad?
The uniting of Christianity and paganism were compromised
Paganism excepted the son of God for the sun of god
And Christianity sacrifice the 7th day of the week for the pagan Sunday observance of their sungod that they worship
And ever since 321ad until our day that falling away has been massive
And now the day has come where the church of christ is aware of the man of sin or the son of perdition would come from in the world
And he's coming from Rome The catholic church Friends
Jesus face a son of perdition in the 1st church and we that are in the last church will also face this issue with a fallen apostle who claims he an apostle for Jesus
Now here we at a day where both the bibical sabbath and the blk sabbath is being lifted up to a point where decession will have to be made
Joel chapter 3 verse 14
Multidutes and Multidutes will walk thru the valley of decession before the great day of the lord
Will we keep his day or will we keep the day a man has created for the world
Jesus said he was lord of the bibical 7th day sabbath
And the antichrist will proclaim he is lord of the blk sabbath
And in 1923
The papal power made an announcement to the world
For this is what cardinal James kipson said
There a conflict Going on
And if an individual wants to give their Authority to scripture alone then that individual must make the bibical 7th day sabbath The day of rest as scripture proclaims
But they who observe Sunday then they give their Authority to the pope of Rome for all Authority of the pope is over the word of God and the prostentant prove this fact since they chose Sunday as of the catholic faith chose
Then the papal power makes the final claim
Sunday observance is our Mark of Authority over the word of God
Mark of the beast comes into mind
Nobody made the papal power make this announcement they brought this on their own so if they incriminating them selves then it was their own doing
Friends keep the bibical sabbath 7th day and run from the throne the pope sits on
For he will bring you bitter disappointment at the end

@Daniel Ryder. Have you listened to Sensus Fidelium? Fantastic traditional priests post authentic Catholic sermons on the precepts of the true deposit of the faith and it's content. It's truly a gift from God.
@@danacaro-herman3530 please explain more. Im trying to learn more about the faith so please, let me know!
The Sabbath Day of REST - has never changed.
Rabbi Yakov (Teacher of Judah haNasi/the writer of the Mishna) ) taught that the Sabbath is only a day of preparation for the banquet which will be laid out in the Olam Haba when Messiah comes. Jesus is Messiah and he has already arrived, lived, died and resurrected.
As Catholics, we right now living in the Messianic Olam Haba. God has put before us His feast, the Eucharistic sacrifice of thanksgiving.
In the OT the day of preparation for the Sabbath is from Sundown Thursday to Sundown Friday at which point the Sabbath began. But what was Sabbath in preparation for?
Rabbi Jacob explains that the Sabbath is the day of preparation for the Olam Haba. The seventh day = sabbath. So the eighth day is the day that they were preparing for. This is why in the NT the first day is also known as the eighth day as it follows the Sabbath. As you see, in the Olam Haba the day of worship is going to be the Eighth day/First day/Sunday when the Eucharistic banquet is set by God.
To worship on Saturday instead of Sunday is to deny that we are living in the Messianic Age. It is a denial that Christ is the Messiah. He fulfils the last Sabbath by not disturbing it, rising on Sunday, fulfilling the Sabbath. If one is Jewish ie Hebrew Catholic it is fine to take part in Sabbath activities but the Sabbath must not replace the day of worship which is Sunday.
How is this to be understood? The seventh day (Sabbath) is the day of preparation for the day that is to come in the Olam Haba (Sunday). God Himself will lay out the banquet. It is the Eucharist, the sacrifice of thanksgiving which the sages prophesied.
The Pharisees were upset when Jesus did “works” of healing on the Sabbath, they were outraged that Jesus was healing on a Sabbath. Jesus healed on a Sabbath because He is the Lord of the Sabbath, the Sabbath has no power over Christ or His Church.
It is the Jewish apostles who began worshiping on the Eighth Day/Sunday (according to Jewish calendar)... the day following the Sabbath, because the Sabbath is now fulfilled.
Foolish of followers of Christ to want to continue worshipping on Saturdays when they have no idea why/what Sabbath was for.
@@SaintCharbelMiracleworker interesting.. thanks for this

The early christians did, so why aren't you?
Where does the Bible say Sunday is the new Sabbath, in certain words. This man is adding to scripture
Exactley
You didn't watch the whole video did you?
The early christians did and they had contact with the apostles from whom they got their instructions. So why aren't you keeping their instructions?
The history is clear on why this happened. Know the history please🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
All the Apostles kept the Sabbath!
Exactly . Indeed they did
The Apostles did not keep the Sabbath. Was Paul a Sabbath keeper? No, he was not! For the Scripture says he preached Christ who came and was “born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons” (Galatians 4:4-5). Let the Scripture speak for itself. It has said Paul was not a Sabbath keeper and served the Lord under the New Testament. Regarding the Old Testament Paul said, “For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope” (Romans 15:4).
Paul was NOT an Apostle, he was a liar and the AntiChrist. Read the Bible a bit more or at least the books he wrote, Saul of Tarsus was not aligned with Jesus Christ of Nazareth nor was he a follower of the Way.
@@Zorakron how dare you say that? And if you make a (false) claim like this, you have to explain it
@@p.vanslooten5124 How much time do you have? Pray for discernment and start at James 2:17, compare all that of Paul to all that of Christ and you will see the clear differences between them. 🕊
As an Adventist Christian we keep the true biblical sabbath, 7th day Saturday.
I'm not an Adventist, but my family also obeys the seventh day Sabbath.
Why Christ plan to build a church different from Jew tradition? All christian are looking at Jesus as their servior Christ overcome death on Sunday,

@@nathandada4189 Catholics claim Sunday is a holy day made by God.I will ask these questions again which NO ONE can answer.
And I know you will NOT!!!
Where in the Holy Bible does GOD say HE RESTED on the First day of Creation?--(to make the day special).
Where in the Holy Bible does GOD say HE BLESSED the First day of the week ?--(to make the day special).
Where in the Holy Bible does GOD say HE SANCTIFIED the First day of the week ?--(to make the day special).
Where in the Holy Bible does GOD say HE NAMED the First day of the week ?--(to make the day special).
Where in the Holy Bible does GOD say HE DECLARES the First day of the week as HIS HOLY DAY?--(to make the day special).
God rested on the seventh day long before the Jewish community was even formed. In Genesis, God himself worked 6 days and rested on the 7th day.
Biblically spot on.
That's why sunday is now the 7th day
Fortunately, man can not over ride God. The Lord's sabbath is and forever will be on Friday night to Saturday night.
Weak understanding of scripture, The Law is just a shadow of God's Love. The will of man is not the will of the Church, as the Church is the mythical body of Christ.
@@haronsmith8974 Definitely mythical
@@autumnwoe6356 The Church came into being when Christ died on the Cross, but it was formally inaugurated on Pentecost, when He sent the Holy Spirit as He had promised. St. Paul speaks of all Christians as members of Christ, so that with Him, they form one Mystical Body (Cf. 1 Cor 12:12-31; Col 1:18; 2:18-20; Eph. 1:22-23; 3:19; 4:13). St. Paul did not use the word Mystical. It was developed more recently to bring out the fact that this union is unique, there is no parallel to it. It is not the same as the union of a physical body, nor that of a business corporation.
The Church, the Mystical Body, exists on this earth, and is called the Church militant, because its members struggle against the world, the flesh and the devil. The Church suffering means the souls in Purgatory. The Church triumphant is the Church in heaven. The unity and cooperation of the members of the Church on earth, in Purgatory, in Heaven is also called the Communion of Saints. When St. Paul uses the word "Saints" in opening an Epistle, he does not mean they are morally perfect. He has in mind Hebrew qadosh, which means set aside for God, or coming under the covenant. Being such means of course they are called to moral perfection. But of course, not all have reached it in this world.
The word "Saint" in the modern sense means someone who has been canonized by the Church in recent times, or was accepted as such by the Church in earlier times. If a person is shown to have practiced heroic virtue--beyond what people in general do - in all virtues, the title "Venerable" is given; with two miracles by that one's intercession, the title is "Blessed"; two more miracles can lead to canonization and the title of Saint.
@@haronsmith8974 God's Moral character is not a shadow.
@@ri3m4nn I was quoting scripture.
Hebrews 10:1, RSV: The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming
"If, because of the Sabbath, you restrain your foot From doing as you wish on My holy day, And call the Sabbath a pleasure, and the holy day of the Lord honorable, And honor it, desisting from your own ways, From seeking your own pleasure And speaking your own word, Then you will take delight in the Lord, And I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; And I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father, For the mouth of the Lord has spoken." - Isaiah 58:13 & 14
Beautiful
Amen
THE END OF THE SABBATH LAW
- What law of commandments separated Jews from Gentiles? The Law of Moses! One of those commandments was to observe the Sabbath. Ephesians 2:11-15
- Today, we are dead to the Law of Moses. That is the same law that said, 'You shall not covet' and also said, 'Remember the Sabbath day; to keep it holy.' The entire Law of Moses was nailed to the cross. Romans 7:4-7
- The only reason that we are not to covet today is because the Law of Christ commands us! Romans 13:9, Hebrews 10:1, 9
- Those who appeal to the old law make make themselves a debtor to do the whole old law. Galatians 5:2-3
@@kac0404 the 10 Commandments are not the "law of Moses". The ordinances are what is referred to as the law of Moses. The 10 Commandments are eternal, since the beginning.
@@chaparrita3421 There is no separation between the Ten Commandments and the other Mosaic Laws - There is no Scriptural justification to separate the ten laws, the Ten Commandments, written on the stone tablets as separate from the 613 laws which make up the totality of the Mosaic Covenant. The Decalogue is representative of the Mosaic Covenant and is considered a summation of the Laws. It is this principle of unity of the law that is referred to in James 2:10. The totality of the law, being all 613 commandments, is taught in the New Testament. When the New Testament refers to the law, it refers to the 613 laws, not the 10.
The Sabbath is and will always be Saturday put Down in Stone from God Changed to Sunday By Man

You are very right. It's called man's tradition by keeping Sunday holy. YHWH's commandments have never changed even in the new covenant. The Sabbath will always be on Saturday because YHWH never changes. Having it written in stone should be a testimony itself, but people haven't been taught that in Sunday keeping churches.
Think not that I am come to destroy the Law, or the Prophets. I am not come to destroy them, but to fulfill them. For truly I say unto you, Till heaven and earth perish, one jot or one tittle of the Law shall not escape, till all things be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall observe and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. - Matthew 5:17-19
@SaintCharbelMiracleworker Thank you, that was an amazing explanation! Your explanation was so clear to me! It makes total sense!
***
The Bible does infact show that Sunday is Christ's Sabbath and that it was God's plan before the foundation of the world. The Book of Deuteronomy clearly shows this. Sunday is Christ's New Covenant Sabbath. Here is how and why.
In the Old Testament there are two lists of the Ten Commandments, one in the Book of Exodus and another list is in the Book of Deuteronomy: Ex 20:1-17 and Deut 5:1-21, both of which explain the purpose of the Sabbath but both explain the purpose of the Sabbath differently. The Book of Exodus tells us the purpose of the Sabbath is to rest and to remember God's creation, however, in Deuteronomy Moses tells us that the purpose of the Seventh day Sabbath is to remember the Exodus, that is, the Exodus from Egypt. The Old Testament is a prefiguration of the New Testament - the Old Testament points to its fulfilment in the New Testament. The Letter to the Hebrews tells us that the New Covenant is greater than the Old Covenant (Heb 8:6) - and that the New Covenant reality is made present in Christ Jesus - while the Old Covenant pointed to something greater to come - the fulfilment of the Old. Jesus Christ, by His death and resurrection, brought about the true Exodus - not from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt - but the true and real Exodus from slavery to sin and death. If the purpose of the Sabbath in the Old Testament/Old Covenant was to remember the Exodus from Egypt - then the purpose of the Sabbath in the New Testament/New Covenant is to remember the True Exodus of which came through Jesus Christ, which is the Exodus from sin and death, and which is clearly greater than the Old Covenant Exodus; for Christ's Exodus was accomplished by his death and his resurrection - his resurrection which took place on the First Day of the week - Sunday - not Saturday. So Christians celebrate the true Exodus from slavery to sin and death on the day Christ accomplished it. In addition - by Christ's resurrection on the First Day of the week - Sunday - Christ has brought about a New Creation - which the New Testament confirms - Christ Jesus IS the New Creation and He IS First-Fruits. There are Sunday Sabbaths in the Old Testament (Lev 23: 9-14) called First-Fruits. God made the Jewish Feast of First-Fruits in the Old Testament to always fall on the Sunday - that is - the Sunday which followed the Saturday Sabbath in the week of Passover week - so Sunday Sabbaths are already given us in the Old Testament - and First-Fruits day is the very day on which Christ rose from the dead following the Passover Last Supper. God had always planned that Christ would rise on the First-Fruits Sunday Sabbath - and Christians obedient to Christ's First-Fruits Sabbath Resurrection - gather on every Sunday. The Letter to the Hebrews tells us that there is a Sabbath day for Christians to keep but that it is "on a different day." Heb 4:8-9, says 'For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. There remains then, a Sabbath-rest for the the people of God.' Christians are bound to keep "a" Sabbath rest but this is "on another day" - Christ's Exodus Day - Sunday. So Christians celebrate and obey and fulful the requirements of both the Book of Exodus (creation - now a New Creation in Christ Jesus) and the requirements of the Book of Deuteronomy (remembering the Exodus from Egypt - now remembering the true Exodus from slavery to sin and death) by their Sunday celebration of the fulfilment and reality brought about by Christ on the First Day of the week - Sunday. Christians celebrate this on the day of the week Christ accomplished it. In Christ Jesus Christians through Baptism have already entered the heavenly Jerusalem (Heb12:22) and sit with him on his heavenly throne (Eph 2:6) - they already participate in the eternal heavenly rest - and Sunday is a foretaste of that eternal rest - Sunday Mass (and every day of the week when we go to weekday Mass) we enter into that eternal heavenly community of the angles who forever pray and sing "Holy Holy Holy, Lord God of Hosts.." - this is the Mass - this is what the Mass is for - we don't have to wait for death and for heaven after death - we can come to the heavenly hosts and join with them in the eternal praise of God. The Jews in their Sabbath keeping remember the week just past - but we Christians put God first in our week - by bringing everything we are and have, with and for Christ - Christ is the First and the Last - Sunday is the First Day of the week so we gather together to offer and give Him everything - and He gives us Himself - truly present in the Eucharist.
Where in the Bible that it says that Jesus wants us to follow his resurrection as the Sabbath day? It just bothers me that there was no basis for such Sunday as the new Sabbath day. Nothing in the Bible. Not even Jesus mentioned that we should follow Sunday... It was just changed by man.
Amen!
The command concerning the observance of the Seventh-Day Sabbath is still binding upon all the inhabitants of this earth. God has set apart this day as a sign between Him and His people of their loyalty. God's commandments never change; they are as enduring as eternity.
Ok.
Leviticus 23:23-24
"And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Say to the sons of Israel:
The seventh month, the first day of the month, shall be a *Sabbath* for you, a memorial, with the sounding of trumpets, and it shall be called holy".
"the 7th month, the 1st day of the month" can't always be a Saturday... or the 7th day of the week.
But it is HOLY.
And you have to do a Sabbath-Day.
Strange, isn't it?
Or, maybe, you never read your Bible. There are many Sabbaths in the Bible.
Not just the 7th day of the week.
We Catholics read the Bible 😇
@@lishmahlishmah This was a feast day not the weekly Sabbath. If there was any way for the 10 cpmmandents to be changed Jesus would not have needed to die.
I will send a question for everyone.
I don't need an answer from someone.
This is just for your meditation and for your study of the Bible.
Question:
Where does it say in the Bible that the 1st day is Sunday?
Where does it say in the Bible that the 2nd day is Monday?
Etc. etc.
Where does it say in the Bible that the 7th day is Saturday?
📖📝
@@lishmahlishmah: When the women came to Christ's tomb after the Sabbath on the first day of the week. Sabbath is the 7th day (Saturday), therefore Sunday is the first. And this seven-day cycle began in Genesis with creation. Christ obeyed the fourth commandment with the others and said that He is the Lord of the Sabbath. Mark 2:28. He observed the seventh day (Lord's day). People of His faith have been faithfully keeping track and observing this day ever since. Saturday.
Who was God communicating with? Was he communicating his commands to Israel or did he establish a covenant with the entire world? It is obvious he gave the commands to Moses, called the Mosaic Law, and it was a covenant between the Lord and Israel.
It did not establish a covenant with the entire world. As gentiles, we were never in a covenant relationship with God until Christ. Thus, we are in the NEW covenant. Not part of the Law. The first apostles made that quite clear in their writings, but sadly so many refuse to read and heed them.
Blessings to all my sisters and brothers in Christ,
Thank you for sharing this with us however no matter what we as humans see and how we see it we have no right to change any of the 10 commandments and keeping the Sabbath Holy is the 4th commandment, regardless of how anyone can connect it how they see it but Sunday is not the day of Our Lord with us it's Saturday, once we read and review the Bible we know this fact.
We should follow the commandments of Our heavenly Father and not the laws of men.
All glory to our only Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Amen

Matthew 5 : 17 : Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one title shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled
Some people believe that everything in the Law and Prophets was fulfilled by Messiah at His first coming. They do not realize that the Fall Feasts have yet to be fulfilled along with all the prophecies concerning them.
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.
The Sabbath is Saturday! Always has been and always will be!

Where in these verse does it say to keep the tradition of men when you don't obviously don't understand that in the days of Christ,he was rebuking the Pharisees for their traditions,rather than the written Word of God. The Pharisees were loading down the Sabbath with their traditions which availed to nothing. Understand what Christ says,he says traditions of men.
@hopenavajo1391 you are unbelievably incorrect
Even in death Jesus Christ kept the Sabbath day
Biblically spot on. Praise God.
Jesus Christ was resurrected on the sabbath day.. What better day to be healed upon, after all it was He that taught it is OK to do good on the sabbath day.
Rabbi Yakov (Teacher of Judah haNasi/the writer of the Mishna) ) taught that the Sabbath is only a day of preparation for the banquet which will be laid out in the Olam Haba when Messiah comes. Jesus is Messiah and he has already arrived, lived, died and resurrected.
As Catholics, we right now living in the Messianic Olam Haba. God has put before us His feast, the Eucharistic sacrifice of thanksgiving.
In the OT the day of preparation for the Sabbath is from Sundown Thursday to Sundown Friday at which point the Sabbath began. But what was Sabbath in preparation for?
Rabbi Jacob explains that the Sabbath is the day of preparation for the Olam Haba. The seventh day = sabbath. So the eighth day is the day that they were preparing for. This is why in the NT the first day is also known as the eighth day as it follows the Sabbath. As you see, in the Olam Haba the day of worship is going to be the Eighth day/First day/Sunday when the Eucharistic banquet is set by God.
To worship on Saturday instead of Sunday is to deny that we are living in the Messianic Age. It is a denial that Christ is the Messiah. He fulfils the last Sabbath by not disturbing it, rising on Sunday, fulfilling the Sabbath. If one is Jewish ie Hebrew Catholic it is fine to take part in Sabbath activities but the Sabbath must not replace the day of worship which is Sunday.
How is this to be understood? The seventh day (Sabbath) is the day of preparation for the day that is to come in the Olam Haba (Sunday). God Himself will lay out the banquet. It is the Eucharist, the sacrifice of thanksgiving which the sages prophesied.
The Pharisees were upset when Jesus did “works” of healing on the Sabbath, they were outraged that Jesus was healing on a Sabbath. Jesus healed on a Sabbath because He is the Lord of the Sabbath, the Sabbath has no power over Christ or His Church.
It is the Jewish apostles who began worshiping on the Eighth Day/Sunday (according to Jewish calendar)... the day following the Sabbath, because the Sabbath is now fulfilled.
Foolish of followers of Christ to want to continue worshipping on Saturdays when they have no idea why/what Sabbath was for.
@@SaintCharbelMiracleworker There is no eighth day..God made a seven day cycle that repeats itself.
Gods holy sabbath day have never changed, but mankind, like your idiot friends you keep bringing up hates what God has blessed!!! Hence why you have so many people that desire the first day of the week, the day of the sun over Gods holy sabbath day.
People of God will keep Gods sabbath day. Hebrews 4

Fr Mike, Thank you for the Bible In A Year podcast. As a cradle Catholic I was very confused by the bible, but following the bible in segments, in your podcast with your explanation and prayer, has brought me a million times closer to God and understanding the fulfilment of Jewish prophecy in the new covenant. The greatest gift you've given to this community on earth is (dare I say) your podcast. And you've brought more people to heaven than you realize by it, that's a miracle! thank you again!
I am the same, I know the gospels inside and out but, struggled, the Bible in a year has been such a blessing for me. I am behind though I keep trying to catch up, but, my sister was in critical care for 3 months (Non covid) and I was spending all my time doing the Rosaries. She survived even though the doctor's gave up on her. It would have been devastating as my 16 year old niece only has her mom, me and my 85 year old mom. I will have to binge the Bible in the year and try to catch up now. Truly is a blessing the Bible in a Year. The Rosaries saved her life. I prayed for 20 hours pretty well straight when the doctors phoned me after she had a cardiac arrest in their ER (they forgot to mention that as we were not even allowed to see her). She had a ruptured appendix and the sepsis went right through her body she was put on life support and was in a coma. She said when they took it out and she opened her eyes the nurse almost fell off her chair. When she told me I was laughing just visualizing her opening her eyes and smiling and saying, "I am ALIVE". I love the Rosaries but, need to get back on the Bible in a year.

10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

The majority of people, in my estimate, is in a very unhealthy spiritual condition. I see in many believers, churches, and denominations an alarming trend - ignorance of God’s word by some, rejection of God’s word by others, and (at the most frightening level) an outright despising of the word of the Lord by a few. The results, as we will see, are catastrophic. As we are nearing the end of the world and the close of probation is near. Repent and be baptized otherwise the second death will be the end for you. Jesus Christ is our ONLY mediator and praying the rosary is a pagan tradition taught from generation to generation. PLEASE STUDY and don't allow satan to win your soul.
The Catholic church teaches many erroneous doctrines. I highly recommend you read the Holy Bible along with a concordance and also recommend the books: The Great Controversy, Patriarchs and Prophets, The Drsire of Ages, Acts of the Apostles. Also recommend Foxes Book of Martyrs. God doesn't force anyone to obey or love Him. Funny how Rome killed millions because they would not bow to their teachings.
May the Holy Spirit guide you to all truth and understanding. The devil has deceived everyone and knows his time is short. God bless you.
The only problem is that there is no scripture that indicate that Jesus changed the Sabbath day from Saturday to Sunday.
Im learning more about Shabbat, and I honestly might start doing Shabbat dinners on Saturday. Not the reason the Jews do it, but to show love and honor Jesus Christ who is the true Shabbat

- What law of commandments separated Jews from Gentiles? The Law of Moses! One of those commandments was to observe the Sabbath. Ephesians 2:11-15
- Today, we are dead to the Law of Moses. That is the same law that said, 'You shall not covet' and also said, 'Remember the Sabbath day; to keep it holy.' The entire Law of Moses was nailed to the cross. Romans 7:4-7
- The only reason that we are not to covet today is because the Law of Christ commands us! Romans 13:9, Hebrews 10:1, 9
- Those who appeal to the old law make make themselves a debtor to do the whole old law. Galatians 5:2-3.

Tbh, I go to mass on saturday afternoon. I consider this as part of going to mass on Sunday. My reasoning for so is because back then, they would consider the start of the day when the sun went down. If you go to mass on saturday afternoon, than it would be basically a very early Sunday. That's how I view it and been told. But if we really think about keeping the sabbath holy, I find it goes beyond attending mass. It should really be a day to set aside. Maybe pray for a bit. Take a moment to realize how God is in your life, and what he has gifted you.

The Old Testament gives us TWO lists of the Ten Commandments - one in the Book of Exodus and another list in the Book of Deuteronomy.
The Ten Commandments in Deuteronomy 5:15 tells us that the purpose of the Sabbath is to remember the Exodus - that is - the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt. If the purpose of the Sabbath in the Old Covenant is to remember the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt, then the purpose of the Sabbath in the New Covenant is to remember the Exodus Jesus Christ brought about by His death and resurrection.
Jesus Christ brought about the true Exodus - the Exodus from sin and death - which the Old Covenant Exodus was only a shadow.
Paul tells us in Colossians 2: 16-17, that not only are the "ceremonial laws" a "shadow" but that the Seventh-Day Sabbath is a "shadow" also.
Here it is in Paul's Letter to the Colossians 2:16-17 :
'16. Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival (that's the annual Jewish feasts), a New Moon celebration (that's the monthly Jewish feasts), or a Sabbath day (that's the weekly Seventh-Day Sabbaths). 17. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.'
"Shadow" does NOT mean "done away with", it means "transformed". The Old Covenant Passover feast was not "done away with" but was transformed by Christ himself into the Body and Blood of Christ at the Last Supper.
The sacrifice of the lamb in the Temple was NOT done away with but transformed into the sacrifice of Christ (the true Lamb) on the Cross. The altar in the Temple was not done away with but transformed into the altar of the wood of the cross.
A "shadow" is literally an outline on the ground or wall. A shadow on the ground is not me - I am the real thing - the shadow is only an image, an outline. So too, the "shadow" in the Old Testament has become the reality in Christ at his death and resurrection, which he accomplished on the First-Day of the Week - not on the Seventh-Day of the Week.
The Letter to the Hebrews tells us that the New Covenant is greater than the Old Covenant (Heb 8:6) - and that the New Covenant reality is made present in Christ Jesus - while the Old Covenant pointed to something greater to come - the fulfilment of the Old. Jesus Christ, by His death and resurrection, brought about the true Exodus - not from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt - but the true and real Exodus from slavery to sin and death.
That is why Hebrews tells us that there is still a Sabbath day for Christians to keep but that it is On Another Day - that is what Hebrews tells us - the Sabbath is to be kept but kept on Another Day - its right there in Hebrews.
Hebrews 4: 8-11, specifically verse 8, shows us its on "another day"
For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.
In addition - by Christ's resurrection on the First Day of the week - Sunday - Christ has brought about a New Creation - which the New Testament confirms - Christ Jesus IS the New Creation and He IS First-Fruits.
There are Sunday Sabbaths in the Old Testament (Lev 23: 9-14) called First-Fruits. God made the Jewish Feast of First-Fruits in the Old Testament to always fall on the Sunday - that is - the Sunday which followed the Saturday Sabbath in the week of Passover week - so Sunday Sabbaths are already given us in the Old Testament - and First-Fruits day is the very day on which Christ rose from the dead following the Passover Last Supper.
God had always planned that Christ would rise on the First-Fruits Sunday Sabbath - and Christians obedient to Christ's First-Fruits Sabbath Resurrection - gather every Sunday.
Christians celebrate and obey and fulful the requirements of both the Book of Exodus (creation - now a New Creation in Christ Jesus) and the requirements of the Book of Deuteronomy (remembering the Exodus from Egypt - now remembering the true Exodus from slavery to sin and death) by their Sunday celebration of the fulfilment and reality brought about by Christ on the First Day of the week - Sunday. Christians celebrate this on the day of the week Christ accomplished it.
In Christ Jesus Christians through Baptism have already entered the heavenly Jerusalem (Heb12:22) and sit with him on his heavenly throne (Eph 2:6) - they already participate in the eternal heavenly rest - and Sunday is a foretaste of that eternal rest - Sunday Mass (and every day of the week when we go to weekday Mass) we enter into that eternal heavenly community of the angles who forever pray and sing "Holy Holy Holy, Lord God of Hosts.." - this is the Mass - this is what the Mass is for - we don't have to wait for death and for heaven after death - we can come to the heavenly hosts and join with them in the eternal praise of God.
The Jews in their Sabbath keeping remember the week just past - but we Christians put God first in our week - by bringing everything we are and have, with and for Christ - Christ is the First and the Last - Sunday is the First Day of the week so we gather together to offer and give Him everything - and He gives us Himself - truly present in the Eucharist.

Mark 2:27-28
These verses contain a number of things critical to Sabbath keeping:
Jesus refers to the Sabbath as a specific day; it is THE Sabbath, not a Sabbath.
The Sabbath was not made for its own sake as were the other six days, but as a service to mankind. An alternate translation would be that it "was made on account of man." Jesus presents it as the Creator's specific and thoughtful gift to man.
It was not made just for the Jews, but for mankind. When God created the Sabbath, He intended it from the beginning as a UNIVERSAL blessing to benefit mankind. He made it to help ensure man's physical and spiritual well-being.
The broader context reveals a disagreement over how to keep it. Jesus claims to be its Lord, its Owner or Master, and He thus lays claim to His right to show by His example and verbal instruction how to keep it, not whether to keep it. Since He expresses no disagreement with keeping it, He implies that He expects man-not just Jews-to keep it. He has a perfect opportunity here to reply that it does not matter if men keep it, but He gives no such indication.

What is the Greek word for man in Mark 2 27?
The Greek words translated "the man" in this scripture are ὁ ἄνθρωπος (Gtr. ho anthropos) - Nominative case, and τὸν ἄνθρωπον (Gtr. ton anthropon) - accusative case.
>>>
There are many people who believe that because the Old Covenant and the Ten Commandments were given through Moses, that it was never created for Gentiles, and no Gentile should keep it. However, Jesus said that the "Sabbath was made for the man" (Mark 2:27), and here will analyze the meaning of this statement. This explains that the Sabbath was made either for all mankind, or for Adam.
#4.03 THE SABBATH DAY WAS MADE FOR THE MAN
Greek - MARK 2:27-28 - English
καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς τὸ σάββατον διὰ τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐγένετο οὐχ ὁ ἄνθρωπος διὰ τὸ σάββατον 27 And he said to them, The Sabbath was made for the man, and not the man for the Sabbath:
ὥστε κύριός ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου καὶ τοῦ σαββάτου 28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath.
>>>
GENESIS 2:1-3
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Note: Jesus did not say that the Sabbath was made for the Jews, he said it was made for the man (Mark 2:27). The Greek words translated "the man" in this scripture are ὁ ἄνθρωπος (Gtr. ho anthropos) - Nominative case, and τὸν ἄνθρωπον (Gtr. ton anthropon) - accusative case. Look at some definitions of it.
(James Strong p26) "444. ἄνθρωπος (559x) anthropos ... man-faced i.e. a human being: man (552x), not tr (4x), misc. (3x).
Anthropos is used (1) generally of a human being, male or female, without reference to sex or nationality:"
(Joseph H. Thayer p46) "444. ἄνθρωπος -ου, ὁ, [perh. fr. ἀνὴρ and ὢν, i.e. man's face; ...] It is used 1. univ., with ref. to the genus or nature, without distinction of sex, a human being, whether male or female: Jn xvi 21. And in this sense a. with the article, generally, so as to include all human individuals: ..."
There are a number of ways how this word "anthropos" is used in the New Testament, in the singular, with the definite article. It is either used of a particular individual, where the article is called 'the individualizing article', or it is used in a generic sense of a class of people, so let us look at some examples:
(Mark 2:27) "The Sabbath was made for the man, and not the man for the Sabbath:"
If the article used in this scripture is meant in a generic sense then it can only refer to mankind as a whole, so "the Sabbath was made for mankind". The word "anthropos" is never used to mean "Jews" as a class unless it is specifically stated in the context, even though Jews are a part of the class of mankind. So we cannot possibly interpret this as, "the Sabbath was made for the Jews" unless we twist the scripture. A number of translations follow this generic sense of the word anthropos. Here are a few examples but they are not the only ones.
Common English Bible (CEB) "The Sabbath was created for humans; humans weren't created for the Sabbath."
The Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) "Shabbat was made for mankind, not mankind for Shabbat."
Good News Translation (GNT) "The Sabbath was made for the good of human beings; they were not made for the Sabbath."
Lexham English Bible (LEB) "The Sabbath was established for people, and not people for the Sabbath."
New Revised Standard (NRS) "The sabbath was made for humankind, and not humankind for the sabbath."

Jesus claims to be its Lord, its Owner or Master, and He thus lays claim to His right to show by His example and verbal instruction how to keep it, not whether to keep it. Since He expresses no disagreement with keeping it, He implies that He expects man-not just Jews-to keep it. He has a perfect opportunity here to reply that it does not matter if men keep it, but He gives no such indication.

What is the Greek word for man in Mark 2 27?
The Greek words translated "the man" in this scripture are ὁ ἄνθρωπος (Gtr. ho anthropos) - Nominative case, and τὸν ἄνθρωπον (Gtr. ton anthropon) - accusative case.
>>>
There are many people who believe that because the Old Covenant and the Ten Commandments were given through Moses, that it was never created for Gentiles, and no Gentile should keep it. However, Jesus said that the "Sabbath was made for the man" (Mark 2:27), and here will analyze the meaning of this statement. This explains that the Sabbath was made either for all mankind, or for Adam.
#4.03 THE SABBATH DAY WAS MADE FOR THE MAN
Greek - MARK 2:27-28 - English
καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς τὸ σάββατον διὰ τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐγένετο οὐχ ὁ ἄνθρωπος διὰ τὸ σάββατον 27 And he said to them, The Sabbath was made for the man, and not the man for the Sabbath:
ὥστε κύριός ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου καὶ τοῦ σαββάτου 28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath.
>>>
GENESIS 2:1-3
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Note: Jesus did not say that the Sabbath was made for the Jews, he said it was made for the man (Mark 2:27). The Greek words translated "the man" in this scripture are ὁ ἄνθρωπος (Gtr. ho anthropos) - Nominative case, and τὸν ἄνθρωπον (Gtr. ton anthropon) - accusative case. Look at some definitions of it.
(James Strong p26) "444. ἄνθρωπος (559x) anthropos ... man-faced i.e. a human being: man (552x), not tr (4x), misc. (3x).
Anthropos is used (1) generally of a human being, male or female, without reference to sex or nationality:"
(Joseph H. Thayer p46) "444. ἄνθρωπος -ου, ὁ, [perh. fr. ἀνὴρ and ὢν, i.e. man's face; ...] It is used 1. univ., with ref. to the genus or nature, without distinction of sex, a human being, whether male or female: Jn xvi 21. And in this sense a. with the article, generally, so as to include all human individuals: ..."
There are a number of ways how this word "anthropos" is used in the New Testament, in the singular, with the definite article. It is either used of a particular individual, where the article is called 'the individualizing article', or it is used in a generic sense of a class of people, so let us look at some examples:
(Mark 2:27) "The Sabbath was made for the man, and not the man for the Sabbath:"
If the article used in this scripture is meant in a generic sense then it can only refer to mankind as a whole, so "the Sabbath was made for mankind". The word "anthropos" is never used to mean "Jews" as a class unless it is specifically stated in the context, even though Jews are a part of the class of mankind. So we cannot possibly interpret this as, "the Sabbath was made for the Jews" unless we twist the scripture. A number of translations follow this generic sense of the word anthropos. Here are a few examples but they are not the only ones.
Common English Bible (CEB) "The Sabbath was created for humans; humans weren't created for the Sabbath."
The Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) "Shabbat was made for mankind, not mankind for Shabbat."
Good News Translation (GNT) "The Sabbath was made for the good of human beings; they were not made for the Sabbath."
Lexham English Bible (LEB) "The Sabbath was established for people, and not people for the Sabbath."
New Revised Standard (NRS) "The sabbath was made for humankind, and not humankind for the sabbath."

Hie Father can you advice the verse that sanctifies sunday in the new testament.
Eagerly to observe if you tell me the verse and why the early Christian observes the sabbath surtuday instead of sunday
Please keep me in your prayers Father Micheal. James in Florida
The word rest means (Nuach) in Hebrew: To lay your weight down, a cease of business and activities, a more modern translation meaning is to be refreshed. In Psalm 23, you get a beautiful picture of this. Although many think of this as the psalm to read at a funeral of a loved one, it actually has nothing to do with death, but the refreshment and nurturing of rest in Christ and IMHO the rest of Sabbath. Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel wrote a fabulous book called "Sabbath". It was his favorite subject to discuss. A gem of a book. Even if you are not a Jew it offers a view of Sabbath that is very beautifully written, which can enrich a Christians understanding of it's Biblical history and the future celebration of it in Heaven with the Messiah.
I was just wondering about this! Thanks be to God. Bless you Father Mike

Hello and peace to you.
Christ said he is Lord of the Sabbath in Matthew 12, Mark 2, and Luke 6. He's never changed the day to the first day of the week. In fact, the prophet Isaiah says in 46:10, that the Father declares the end from the beginning. And, how does the beginning read in Genesis? There's only one Sabbath day, and it's on the seventh day. There are not two Sabbath days in the entirety of scripture. There is one Lord of the Sabbath, and one Sabbath day, which Paul says is a shadow of things that are to come in Colossians 2:16-17.... of things to come, which means the weekly seventh day Sabbath points to the Lord of the Sabbath who will bring rest to humanity.
The Father gave the Sabbath as a sign that he created the world in six days, Exodus 31. And, the Eighth Great Day is a biblical festival found in Leviticus 23, and it follows the week long festival of Tabernacles. It's fulfillment is hinted by Christ in John 7 and 8 as he points to himself as the living water and light of the world during the festival of Tabernacles in the gospels. We get a glimpse of what that will be in the future in Revelation 21:1-6, when the Father is the light and he's the lamp, and living water is given to his people.
All of these biblical festivals point to future things that are to come, and yet, in Leviticus 23, there are not two sabbaths. And in Genesis there are not two sabbaths. There's only one, and it's on the seventh day, just as Christ, the disciples, and his mother observed, and it isn't the first day of the week.
Hope this helps a little.
Blessings to you
Don't believe him. Go read bible an pray to God for truth, he is a deciever.
God never changes, He is the same yesterday, today, and forever! Jesus kept the Sabbath on Friday sunset to Saturday sunset, so did his disciples. As a Christian I will follow His example. We ought to obey God rather than man. There is no where in the Bible that states Sunday is the sabbath day!
July 2023. .Bless those who seek the truth. If a church is blind (sun day worshippers), then the flock will fall on the ditch....,,,
22 “As the new heavens and the new earth that I make will endure before me,” declares the Lord, “so will your name and descendants endure. 23 From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come and bow down before me,” says the Lord. Isaiah 66: 22-23
The Sabbath is the Lord's day even in the new world. It has never changed and will never change.
What I don't understand about people who are strict about keeping the Sabbath is that they are in the same way not keeping the other laws.
The Old Testament had laws to not eat certain foods, circumision, men had to grow out their beards, women had to dress in a certain way, etc.
Do you know the ten commandments?
Is there a commandment of not eating food?
They were written by God himself
I love the highlights in your beard. I have tons of highlights in my hair. As a matter of fact, almost my entire head is a highlight. It’s beautiful!
I can't believe people would write disrespectful comments on here. There is nothing more engaging than a Father who has true passion in the teachings of Yeshua. I wish my local priest spoke with as much enthusiasm.
passion and enthusiasm is not enough, the truth is what matters!!
Correcting error is not disrespectful. You seem to care more about the honor of this priest who teaches falsehood, then the honor of our Heavenly Father whose Holy Law and Holy Day , you, this priest, and others, trample upon! Care about the honor of Christ, who said that he who teaches the breaking of the 10 Commandments will be called the least worthy!

Try teling that to fanatical catholic!!!! I have quoted scripture after scripture from Gen--to Rev. There ARE MANY that refuse to accept the truth!!! Even I quote a Catholic Bible, they still refuse to accept!!!
Thank you for the simple explanation! Wonderful! And, I really like the beard!
Thank you Fr. Mike for your explanation, however i am still not confident. i feel that when we received the 10 commandments, God didnt intend for them to change or be interpreted differently. So i feel hesitant to call Sunday the Sabbath. Going back in time the day of rest (Sunday) became the day of rest as follows - Sunday was another work day in the Roman Empire. On March 7, 321, however, Roman Emperor Constantine I issued a civil decree making Sunday a day of rest from labor, stating: All judges and city people and the craftsmen shall rest upon the venerable day of the sun. I think when the Lord rose from the dead on Sunday isnt that day of celebration, a new day, a new beginning, the first day to a new covenant not the last. FYI i am an active practicing Roman Catholic who is studying the faith and wanting to understand our teaching not just skate by. Please dont take my comment / questioning as persecution.
Leviticus 23:23-24
"And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Say to the sons of Israel:
The seventh month, the first day of the month, shall be a *Sabbath* for you, a memorial, with the sounding of trumpets, and it shall be called holy".
Now, please think about this:
"the 7th month, the 1st day of the month" can't always be a Saturday. It can't always be the 7th day of the week. But it is HOLY.
And you have to do a Sabbath-Day.
Strange, isn't it?
Or, maybe, you should read your Bible.
*There are many Sabbaths in the Bible* .
Not just the 7th day of the week.
We Catholics read the Bible 😇

Hi, I have a question that I was hoping you guys could answer or maybe even make a video about if possible. As catholics and christians we fear the Lord and know the consequences so we try our best not to sin. My question is how do we respond to those who don’t, those who don’t really believe in the bible or they do but they don’t want to put in the effort to learn and understand their actions. God says that leading others to sin is worse than committing the sin itself but people around me are always saying things like “Oh my God” or even “holy sh*t” which as kids we’re taught is wrong but despite that it seems like it’s become a part of their daily lives to say those. Another example is how people around us lie or say “white lies” to either get out of trouble or save themselves from embarrassment. I have a hard time calling people out for this especially older and bigger people say an older sibling or if i overhear a stranger say or do something wrong do I still have to go up to every single person who does these wrong actions? Is praying for them enough? Would God be disappointed in me if I don’t have the courage to confront them about it? I struggle with this everyday and was hoping you guys could get back to me. Thanks a lot! I love the videos guys keep it up! #AskAscension
start by leaving religion and reading the bible from 1611 king james..it interprets itself....next...if they dont believe in god with evidence of god all around then they arent being called to god....god is everywhere..just look at life the stars the animal kingdom,birth etc...
Prayers
Thank you for the explanation!
What explanation he is a confused Catholic demon... the Bible says Saturday and no man has the authority to change that
may I ask you to count 1.2.3. so Friday/'Saturday, from 3pm around, time of the cruxifiction, to 3pm = 1 day- From saturday 3pm to sunday 3pm = day 2. -- 3??
The gospel says, on the third day not HOURS SO Friday Saturday Sunday. He died on the first day Friday he rose on the third day Sunday. Hope this helps!❤️
Thank you Fr Mike for making a video on the worshipping of different Sabbath days. I just read " The Fall and Rise of Jerusalem " and was dismayed at the author's characterization of the Catholic's Sabbath. Thanks for clearing it up for me.
Where did you get that book?
The catholic church has admitted that they changed the day of worship from the seventh day to the first day of the week. There are numerous quotes from catholic theologians.
All, this guy is WRONG as two left shoes. God's holy day is the same for all. There is only ONE SABBATH, one law for all, Jew, Gentile, Greek, and any other human being made in God's image.
The Sabbath is Saturday, the day God rested on in the beginning. (Genesis 2:1-3)
No man has the authority to change the Sabbath. God made it and it is His holy day, not yours, not mine, and not any man's, but God's.
AMEN 🙏
A few points of clarification: the sabbath is from sundown to sundown thus in the old covenant Friday evening to Saturday evening. That is why Catholics can fulfill their Sunday obligation on Saturday evening. Secondly, although Christians since the beginning came together on the 8th day, Jesus is our true sabbath rest thus EVERY DAY is a sabbath day because every day we can receive Our Lord in the Eucharist!
@ChristianDisciple247 Jesus is our true sabbath rest not a day of the week!
@@revelation1215 Jesus Christ is not our sabbath! The Sabbath is the seventh day as God created it to be. It is the only day that was ever made holy. NO such thing as an 8th day of the week! That is just plain stupid. That is about as stupid as the heathens claim that Jesus was crucified on a Friday and rose on a Sunday, it is as if they have no clue how to read or tell time as Christ said 3 days and 3 nights, their false teaching simply doe snot add up. Never learn from Satanic fools. :)
Nope. God gave a day to rest from work... To keep.holy. Paul taught on the Sabbath well after the cross on the Sabbath to gentiles. Jesus says if you love me keep my commandments I.e. SABBATH.
The Sabbath was given to mankind before there was a Jew. It was given before sin therefore the cross can't take it away. Jesus kept the SABBATH when he was alive and when he was dead. If you are a Christian you would agree we should not kill, or steal, or commit adultery and the 9 commandments but the day he blessed and hollowed and sanctified, the day he set apart for us to have a closer relationship, the 1 commandment that says to remember meaning DON'T forget is the only one man have forgotten???? Really? Where is the logic..also all the commandments are taught by Christ's disciples in the new Testament..but people don't want to give up Saturday. Self lives
@@revelation1215 I suppose you will say that easter and xmas are ok too observe as well. You pagans need to learn how to read.
And Jesus is not our sabbath!! That's just plain stupid. That's like saying that Jesus Christ was crucified on and Friday and rose on a Sunday.. These morons can't even do simple mathematics!! Do not trust and follow people that can not count to 3. Smh
Thankyou for this description of sat to sun.
But when Jesus was alive he honored the Sabbath
He is alive now!
Rabbi Yakov (Teacher of Judah haNasi/the writer of the Mishna) ) taught that the Sabbath is only a day of preparation for the banquet which will be laid out in the Olam Haba when Messiah comes. Jesus is Messiah and he has already arrived, lived, died and resurrected.
As Catholics, we right now living in the Messianic Olam Haba. God has put before us His feast, the Eucharistic sacrifice of thanksgiving.
In the OT the day of preparation for the Sabbath is from Sundown Thursday to Sundown Friday at which point the Sabbath began. But what was Sabbath in preparation for?
Rabbi Jacob explains that the Sabbath is the day of preparation for the Olam Haba. The seventh day = sabbath. So the eighth day is the day that they were preparing for. This is why in the NT the first day is also known as the eighth day as it follows the Sabbath. As you see, in the Olam Haba the day of worship is going to be the Eighth day/First day/Sunday when the Eucharistic banquet is set by God.
To worship on Saturday instead of Sunday is to deny that we are living in the Messianic Age. It is a denial that Christ is the Messiah. He fulfils the last Sabbath by not disturbing it, rising on Sunday, fulfilling the Sabbath. If one is Jewish ie Hebrew Catholic it is fine to take part in Sabbath activities but the Sabbath must not replace the day of worship which is Sunday.
How is this to be understood? The seventh day (Sabbath) is the day of preparation for the day that is to come in the Olam Haba (Sunday). God Himself will lay out the banquet. It is the Eucharist, the sacrifice of thanksgiving which the sages prophesied.
The Pharisees were upset when Jesus did “works” of healing on the Sabbath, they were outraged that Jesus was healing on a Sabbath. Jesus healed on a Sabbath because He is the Lord of the Sabbath, the Sabbath has no power over Christ or His Church.
It is the Jewish apostles who began worshiping on the Eighth Day/Sunday (according to Jewish calendar)... the day following the Sabbath, because the Sabbath is now fulfilled.
Foolish of followers of Christ to want to continue worshipping on Saturdays when they have no idea why/what Sabbath was for.
@@SaintCharbelMiracleworker Kindly provide Chapter and Verse as reference to these. You can't write all this without reference. It will be proper to do so.

John Behr is on a minor campaign to refer to the Old Testament simply as Scripture. Fun fact: In the Creed, "On the third day he rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures," is referring to the Old Testament. Thanks, Fr. Mike -- I understand that a little bit more better now😊
Random thoughts: Marcionism. 70x7. Irenaeus's On the Apostolic Preaching referred only to the Old Testament ("Scriptures"), without reference to the New Testament. The eighth day/Lord's Day is interesting theologically. Thank you.
... The reference "on the 3rd day" is in connection with the Spring Feasts of Israel.
Day #1 = Passover = Death of The "Lamb" of God.( Leviticus 23 : 4 - 5 ... John 19 : 14 ... 1 Cor. 5 : 7 - 8)
Day #2 = Unleavened Bread = Burial of The "Bread Of Life" A High Sabbath Day ( Lev. 23 : 6 - 8 & John 19 : 31)
Day #3 = The FirstFruits of Barley = Resurrection (3rd Day) ( Lev. 23 : 9 - 14 ... Matt 28 : 1 ... 1 Cor. 15 : 20 - 24 )
( See Also: 1 Corinthians 15 : 1 - 4 & Hosea 6 : 1 -2 & 1 Thes 4 : 16 - 18 For our "collective" resurrection together.
* It's interesting to note too, that on the "Day Of Firstfruits", is also the "1st day" of the week(s), in the 50-day count, leading to Pentecost/ Feast Of Weeks ( Leviticus 23 : 15 - 22 ... Acts 2 )
Sooo, being since YHWH's Feast Days are indeed "shadows of things to come" and "The Body Of Christ" ...
( Col 2 : 16 - 17 )... And He fulfilled The Spring Feasts with His "1st Coming"; ... That's why many people believe that Christ, will likewise, fulfill the prophetic timing of, The Fall Feasts, at His "2nd Coming"! ( Lev 23 : 23 - 44 ).

How does one calculate 3 days and 3 nights between Friday afternoon and Sunday morning?
Sir if i may with respect to your interpretation , plsss bare in mind that death is refer to in the bible as a sleep jesus didnot rose from the dead on saturaday bacause he is a sleep resting he could arose on saturday but because it is the rest day he risen from the dead on sunday even jesus is setting an example of his death and rested on saturday my question is if there is a commandment in the bible that changes the sabbath from the 7th day to the 1st day of the week...
The sabbath day and all God's commandments have not changed and never will. The Sabbath laws as distorted by the Jewish Leaders are too strict and burdensome to man, Jesus explained this. We are to go by his (Jesus) example and understand that the Sabbath is for man to rest it's about receiving the blessing of his covenant with us by resting and not creating or working. Resting our body and minds on Sabbath is healing and an example of how self Love and nurturing ourselves is to be remembered. Sometimes on Sabbath we may need to give Love to others and be a little self sacrificing for the healing of another this is also healing for us for the rest is not meant to be a selfish action.
RECORD AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE SABBATH NOT LOST AT TIME OF CHRIST
Matt, 12: 1-12 ---- Jesus found the people of Israel strictly keeping the Sabbath,
Mark 2: 27----Christ said that the Sabbath they were keeping was made for man,
Gen, 2: 1-3:. Exo 20: 8-11 That was the creation Sabbath, Luke 23: 54, " And that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath drew on,"
This was the Sabbath according to Commandment and therefore the creation Sabbath, for the fourth commandment refers back to creation for its authority This brings us from creation to the end of the first century A,D over 4,000 years without a break,
Interesting arguments by those trying to credit Constantine for the Sunday worship... Do read the writings of Justin the Martyr in his dialogue with Trypho (a Jew) when he talks about the Lord's Day. Just so folks know... Justin the Martyr lived at least 100+ years before Constantine (if my math is correct). In the light of that dialogue, the question becomes... Did Constantine establish the Church or did the Church influence the emperor's decision. 😊
Greetings from southcentral Texas USA 🇺🇸. Wonderful. Thank you, Father Mike. Again, thank you.
Thank you for the advice on spacing and paragraphs.
I have spent many years on the subject and bit by bit it began to fall into place. I am Catholic, and when I married 23 years ago, my wife was Evangelical, but 18 years ago she became a Seventh day Adventist - so I felt that I had to research the issue. I hope you have seen both parts of my comments.
About 4 years ago I began writing things down and put them together from many aspects of scripture - beginning with the first 2 chapters of Genesis - the account creation. This is after all a First-Day - Seventh-Day issue.
I have heard many presentations on both sides, and I wanted to make sense of it although I was not confused by it - I just wanted a systematic approach.
I spent three years alone on Genesis 1 & 2 - begin at the beginning I thought, and so I looked at how on day-one of creation God said "Let there be light" but then - like many others I began to question what this light was before the sun and moon and stars were created - the light couldn't be from them - so what was it.
Then I looked into the Hebrew text - I don't know Hebrew - but looked up translations and was amazed that in the Hebrew the word for light on day-one of creation is different from the Hebrew word for light on the fourth day - when the sun and moon were created. Since the Hebrew said, "Let (uncreated) light be!" I began to realise that God was declaring "Let Me Who Am The Light Shine Forth." God wasn't creating light but declaring light - and God Declaring means The Word and I began to see that this is what John was writing about in his Gospel.
So Day-One was already a day where God the Father announced the Light of Christ. The Uncreated Light. Day-One is not the day of some pagan God - for paganism never existed - however - I then decided to find out what St. Augustine said about creation and found out that he studied the same issue.
St Augustine went to the Book of Job and saw that God Himself speaking to Job saying, "Where were you when I created the sun and moon and stars - for the angles were full of joy at their creation." Augustine realised that the angles must have existed before the sun and moon and stars because the angles were in joy. Augustine figured that they must have been created on that first day - since it is their job to reflect the Light of God - hence the name Lucifer. At the moment of their creation they have to choose God or reject Him.
Then the Ten Commandments speak for themselves - but in Deuteronomy Moses tells us that the Ten Commandments are more than rest and creation but Exodus.
It's just about making connections and listening to many theologians about many topics - such as when Jesus takes up the mountain three deciples like Moses took up Aaron and his two sons and how Jesus is the New Moses and that the conversation Jesus had with Moses and Elijah - they were talking about Christ's soon to come EXODUS - his death and resurrection.
There are many more connections - I am still putting it together.
On RUclips comments, I have made a Part 1 and a Part 2 comment to help cover this huge issue.
God bless you and thank you for your interest.

When did Jesus say, I want you all to STOP keeping the 7th Day Sabbath, which is the 4th Commandment, and make Sunday your new Sabbath??? Did Jesus say it, or did the Roman Catholic Church say it??? Everything that you have just said, it what the Roman Catholic Church told you, but Jesus Himself NEVER TOLD YOU THIS! God said, REMEMBER THE SABBATH, but the Roman Catholic Church is telling you to FORGET THE SABBATH. The Roman Cathlic Church said Sabbath is on a Sunday, but God said the Sabbath is from Friday Sundown, to Saturday Sundown. So you tell me who is telling us the truth, the Roman Catholic Church or God?
@marvinberry295
*** 1A1
The Old Testament gives us TWO lists of the Ten Commandments - one in the Book of Exodus and another list in the Book of Deuteronomy.
The Ten Commandments in Deuteronomy 5:15 tells us that the purpose of the Sabbath is to remember the Exodus - that is - the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt. If the purpose of the Sabbath in the Old Covenant is to remember the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt, then the purpose of the Sabbath in the New Covenant is to remember the Exodus Jesus Christ brought about by His death and resurrection.
Jesus Christ brought about the true Exodus - the Exodus from sin and death - which the Old Covenant Exodus was only a shadow.
Paul tells us in Colossians 2: 16-17, that not only are the "ceremonial laws" a "shadow" but that the Seventh-Day Sabbath is a "shadow" also.
Here it is in Paul's Letter to the Colossians 2:16-17 :
'16. Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival (that's the annual Jewish feasts), a New Moon celebration (that's the monthly Jewish feasts), or a Sabbath day (that's the weekly Seventh-Day Sabbaths). 17. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.'
"Shadow" does NOT mean "done away with", it means "transformed". The Old Covenant Passover feast was not "done away with" but was transformed by Christ himself into the Body and Blood of Christ at the Last Supper.
The sacrifice of the lamb in the Temple was NOT done away with but transformed into the sacrifice of Christ (the true Lamb) on the Cross. The altar in the Temple was not done away with but transformed into the altar of the wood of the cross.
A "shadow" is literally an outline on the ground or wall. A shadow on the ground is not me - I am the real thing - the shadow is only an image, an outline. So too, the "shadow" in the Old Testament has become the reality in Christ at his death and resurrection, which he accomplished on the First-Day of the Week - not on the Seventh-Day of the Week.
The Letter to the Hebrews tells us that the New Covenant is greater than the Old Covenant (Heb 8:6) - and that the New Covenant reality is made present in Christ Jesus - while the Old Covenant pointed to something greater to come - the fulfilment of the Old. Jesus Christ, by His death and resurrection, brought about the true Exodus - not from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt - but the true and real Exodus from slavery to sin and death.
That is why Hebrews tells us that there is still a Sabbath day for Christians to keep but that it is On Another Day - that is what Hebrews tells us - the Sabbath is to be kept but kept on Another Day - its right there in Hebrews.
Hebrews 4: 8-11, specifically verse 8, shows us its on "another day"
For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.
In addition - by Christ's resurrection on the First Day of the week - Sunday - Christ has brought about a New Creation - which the New Testament confirms - Christ Jesus IS the New Creation and He IS First-Fruits.
There are Sunday Sabbaths in the Old Testament (Lev 23: 9-14) called First-Fruits. God made the Jewish Feast of First-Fruits in the Old Testament to always fall on the Sunday - that is - the Sunday which followed the Saturday Sabbath in the week of Passover week - so Sunday Sabbaths are already given us in the Old Testament - and First-Fruits day is the very day on which Christ rose from the dead following the Passover Last Supper.
God had always planned that Christ would rise on the First-Fruits Sunday Sabbath - and Christians obedient to Christ's First-Fruits Sabbath Resurrection - gather every Sunday.
Christians celebrate and obey and fulful the requirements of both the Book of Exodus (creation - now a New Creation in Christ Jesus) and the requirements of the Book of Deuteronomy (remembering the Exodus from Egypt - now remembering the true Exodus from slavery to sin and death) by their Sunday celebration of the fulfilment and reality brought about by Christ on the First Day of the week - Sunday. Christians celebrate this on the day of the week Christ accomplished it.
In Christ Jesus Christians through Baptism have already entered the heavenly Jerusalem (Heb12:22) and sit with him on his heavenly throne (Eph 2:6) - they already participate in the eternal heavenly rest - and Sunday is a foretaste of that eternal rest - Sunday Mass (and every day of the week when we go to weekday Mass) we enter into that eternal heavenly community of the angles who forever pray and sing "Holy Holy Holy, Lord God of Hosts.." - this is the Mass - this is what the Mass is for - we don't have to wait for death and for heaven after death - we can come to the heavenly hosts and join with them in the eternal praise of God.
The Jews in their Sabbath keeping remember the week just past - but we Christians put God first in our week - by bringing everything we are and have, with and for Christ - Christ is the First and the Last - Sunday is the First Day of the week so we gather together to offer and give Him everything - and He gives us Himself - truly present in the Eucharist.
We're witnessing firsthand how the transition from Saturday to Sunday is affecting not only our spiritual life but even our physical health. The Sabbath, given to us for rest and recreation in Him (Bible & nature), holds even greater significance in light of the complexities brought about by sin. Jesus' resurrection on Sunday underscores His observance of the Sabbath, affirming the unchanging nature of the 10 commandments therefore His sacrifice on the cross was essential for our salvation. If the law would have been changed, it wouldn’t be necessary for Jesus’ sacrifice but because His law is unchangeable a sacrifice was provided for us so we can be called children of the King
@ArianeGonzales1
***1.2
The Old Testament gives us TWO lists of the Ten Commandments - one in the Book of Exodus and another list in the Book of Deuteronomy.
The Ten Commandments in Deuteronomy 5:15 tells us that the purpose of the Sabbath is to remember the Exodus - that is - the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt. If the purpose of the Sabbath in the Old Covenant is to remember the Exodus from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt, then the purpose of the Sabbath in the New Covenant is to remember the Exodus Jesus Christ brought about by His death and resurrection.
Jesus Christ brought about the true Exodus - the Exodus from sin and death - which the Old Covenant Exodus was only a shadow.
Paul tells us in Colossians 2: 16-17, that not only are the "ceremonial laws" a "shadow" but that the Seventh-Day Sabbath is a "shadow" also.
Here it is in Paul's Letter to the Colossians 2:16-17 :
'16. Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival (that's the annual Jewish feasts), a New Moon celebration (that's the monthly Jewish feasts), or a Sabbath day (that's the weekly Seventh-Day Sabbaths). 17. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.'
"Shadow" does NOT mean "done away with", it means "transformed". The Old Covenant Passover feast was not "done away with" but was transformed by Christ himself into the Body and Blood of Christ at the Last Supper.
The sacrifice of the lamb in the Temple was NOT done away with but transformed into the sacrifice of Christ (the true Lamb) on the Cross. The altar in the Temple was not done away with but transformed into the altar of the wood of the cross.
A "shadow" is literally an outline on the ground or wall. A shadow on the ground is not me - I am the real thing - the shadow is only an image, an outline. So too, the "shadow" in the Old Testament has become the reality in Christ at his death and resurrection, which he accomplished on the First-Day of the Week - not on the Seventh-Day of the Week.
The Letter to the Hebrews tells us that the New Covenant is greater than the Old Covenant (Heb 8:6) - and that the New Covenant reality is made present in Christ Jesus - while the Old Covenant pointed to something greater to come - the fulfilment of the Old. Jesus Christ, by His death and resurrection, brought about the true Exodus - not from slavery to Pharaoh in Egypt - but the true and real Exodus from slavery to sin and death.
That is why Hebrews tells us that there is still a Sabbath day for Christians to keep but that it is On Another Day - that is what Hebrews tells us - the Sabbath is to be kept but kept on Another Day - its right there in Hebrews.
Hebrews 4: 8-11, specifically verse 8, shows us its on "another day"
For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.
In addition - by Christ's resurrection on the First Day of the week - Sunday - Christ has brought about a New Creation - which the New Testament confirms - Christ Jesus IS the New Creation and He IS First-Fruits.
There are Sunday Sabbaths in the Old Testament (Lev 23: 9-14) called First-Fruits. God made the Jewish Feast of First-Fruits in the Old Testament to always fall on the Sunday - that is - the Sunday which followed the Saturday Sabbath in the week of Passover week - so Sunday Sabbaths are already given us in the Old Testament - and First-Fruits day is the very day on which Christ rose from the dead following the Passover Last Supper.
God had always planned that Christ would rise on the First-Fruits Sunday Sabbath - and Christians obedient to Christ's First-Fruits Sabbath Resurrection - gather every Sunday.
Christians celebrate and obey and fulful the requirements of both the Book of Exodus (creation - now a New Creation in Christ Jesus) and the requirements of the Book of Deuteronomy (remembering the Exodus from Egypt - now remembering the true Exodus from slavery to sin and death) by their Sunday celebration of the fulfilment and reality brought about by Christ on the First Day of the week - Sunday. Christians celebrate this on the day of the week Christ accomplished it.

You disobey Christ. The sabbath has NOT changed and neither does God's word. It is still Saturday, my sister, and always will be. Stay blind if you wish, but you truly need to take time and read your Bible from cover to cover. Study it! Know it! Obey it!
By the way, the RCC (Roman Catholic Church fulfils what Daniel 7:25 says about the beast power. The beast (earthly leader of any kind) is the Pope.
This guy may look like a lamb, but he "speaks for the Dragon", Satan. Don't be deceived.
The Sabbath was instituted before there was a Jew on earth.
The bible states its 7th day of week which is a Saturday, so if bible says Saturday i dont care what others say it is
Leviticus 23:23-24
"And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Say to the sons of Israel:
The seventh month, the first day of the month, shall be a *Sabbath* for you, a memorial, with the sounding of trumpets, and it shall be called holy".
"the 7th month, the 1st day of the month" can't always be a Saturday. It can't always be the 7th day of the week.
But it is HOLY.
And you have to do a Sabbath-Day.
Strange, isn't it?
Or, maybe, you never read your Bible.
There are many Sabbaths in the Bible.
Not just the 7th day of the week.
We Catholics read the Bible 😇
I will send a question for everyone.
I don't need an answer from someone.
This is just for your meditation and for your study of the Bible.
Question:
Where does it say in the Bible that the 1st day is Sunday?
Where does it say in the Bible that the 2nd day is Monday?
Etc. etc.
Where does it say in the Bible that the 7th day is Saturday?
📖📝
Biblically correct. The first day of the week is a work day and not sanctified like the seventh. The day of the sun (Sunday) is a pagan fertility ritual adopted and "Christianized" by the papacy without any Biblical support.
God bless you too fr. You have such joy in the Lord Jesus.our savior. Massiah. Forever.
Please make a video regarding the Ascension🙏🏻
There's 2 huge problems with your explanation. First of all, the ot says clearly that you will keep the sabbath on SABBATH and it says this will be forever. It can't change. Second of all, the word Sabbath does not at all mean covenant in Hebrew. Where in the world did you get that from?
Whenever the Bible says ' Forever " in the great majority of cases it just means a long period of time that does have an ending. The Sabbath is a Covenant between God and His people. The Jewish Sabbath, and the Christian Sabbath.
@@alongcamejones309 The bible says forever many many times by the commandments and it never indicates anywhere that there is a time limit. Forever means forever. Where do you see otherwise anywhere? Also, I didn't say the Sabbath is not a covenant. I was just commenting that his translation of the word sabbath is wrong and it is not covenant and it also is not seven. It means rest or stop or sit.
@@nothingbutthetruth613 Hi Friend. On U tube if you take a look at ' Steve Gregg Sabbath Debate Rebuttal, Gregg gives about a 7 or 8 [ from memory] examples where the Bible states ' Forever ' where in fact it is just a certain space of time.
@@alongcamejones309 Thank you for the info. I did not watch these videos for I did not know which one and they are 2 hours long. However, I was curious so I googled it and I do see many talk about a few instances where you are right and when it says "forever" it does not mean forever. It does almost always mean for as long as possible like by Hannah but it is only for as long as she is alive. You could always say sabbath is also only as long as possible so I agree it wouldn't prove that this means forever with just the word "forever". This is why I enjoy commenting on these videos because it gets me thinking about things I would not have noticed before and educates me and actually reinforces my belief so much.
That being said, there is actually a noticeable difference when it says "forever" in many situations including the sabbath. When mentioning the Sabbath and many more times when mentioning the commandments in general, it always accompanies forever with "throughout your generations" or "for your children" or "for your offspring". I can't say this proves it is really forever but there is a reason why this is and I don't know of any instances where these words accompany the word forever and it doesn't really mean forever. There are no extra words in the bible so this is telling me something. I think it seems pretty clear it means any child ever born after you which would mean FOREVER.
@@nothingbutthetruth613 It's the type of language the Bible employs that misleads many people. i.e. Rev 13 ' All the world followed after the Beast ' 'All ' doesn't mean 'All ' and ' World ' doesn't mean 'World ' I believe in this particular verse. ' All ' just means a majority and the Greek word for World 'GE' can also equally mean Earth , World , Land. So I see this verse in Rev 13 as saying : The majority of the inhabitants of the Roman Empire approved and supported and admired their Emperor and their Pagan Roman Empire. For me the first 19 chapters of Revelation were fulfilled in the first century and don't have any direct relevance to the 21st century.
Thanks so much
Fr. Mike, will you please help me? theres a quote ive been searching for by an author or speaker. i think its a woman author and i think it might be Margaret Barker.
the quote is something like, "if a person wants to understand what jewish temple worship looked like in the first century, he only needs to witness the Latin mass." or "the Latin mass is the best modern reflection of first century temple worship."
I have a friend who is in a Hebrew Roots cult. i grew up evangelical myself and have been making my way towards Rome for years now.
so while not yet being catholic myself, i would like to see that quote again to know more of its context and primary source, and also to share with well-meaning Christians i know who might be led astray by over-emphasized Jewish worship or outright appropriation of Jewish tradition. i believe the quote, but i cant just say it without backing it up. and i know great thinkers have already gone before me so i dont have to dig through the mass and the bible myself and become an expert.
The problem is i only saw the quote in a image once, and for over a year now that image has evaded me. and when i google it, i only get articles that arent useless but just arent what im looking for. theyre often polemical: by catholics, for catholics, with the common presuppositions that catholics have about priests, magisterium, and tradition. there are few resources for bible thumping protestants to explore and 'see' catholicism in a new light.
One specific thing would be what the priest does before mass. The friend i mentioned is a worship leader at this hebrew roots church, so he takes the priestly duty to lead the congregation through a song of welcoming, one of repentance, and then one of celebration. this is how most new age churches do it, and my friend told me it reflected ancient Jewish attitudes during temple worship.
what astonished me was the week prior, an Orthodox priest i am friends with said the same thing about his customs as he leads the Divine Liturgy.
i cant get caught up in polemics or a wild goose chase or unfamiliar or extra-biblical ideas. To be honest, i think i want a peek behind that curtain to be able to show with simple logic, the bible, the catholic mass itself, and jewish practice as described in the bible that the catholic mass is a perfect illustration of that model of jewish practice
any help at all would be appreciated, but if you can point me to the primary source for that quote i will cash app you 20 dollars.
Can you give the bible text in the new testament that says the Sunday is the Sabbath?

Okay so Sunday originally was the first day God began to create everything and form the first covenant, but he rested on the 7th day which is Sabath Saturday. Jesus rose on the 1st day to signify the first day of the new creation, but I don't see how that relates to the original rest day, Sabbath Saturday? Am I missing something here? I am a cradle Catholic and to this day identify as Catholic by the way. But I'm just trying to get down to the bottom of the truth always no matter what, and this explanation doesn't really make sense to me or why at some point some Christians decided to change the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. Who decided to change it anyway and when?
Research the Council of Nicea around 325 AD.
If you turn your foot from breaking the Sabbath, from doing as you please on MY HOLY DAY, if you call the Sabbath a delight, and the LORD’s HOLY DAY day honorable, if you honor it by not going your own way or seeking your own pleasure or speaking idle words,"

From the above text, which day is here referred as the Lord's Day, Saturday or Sunday?
And He(Jesus) said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
Which day did Jesus refer, Saturday or Sunday?
Protestants worship only on one day. I was told by a priests years ago The Catholic church worships EVERYDAY. We have Sabbath 7 days a week! The Catholic church has continuously performed a mass every minute somewhere in the world for 2 thousand years. It is an unbroken line of worship.
Facts brother
Yes!!
Hi friend Read the 4th commandment of God in exodus chapter 20 verse 8 the one Jesus wrote with his own finger
It's impossible to have a sabbath every day of the week
If you have a sabbath every day of the week Then your breaking your own religion law of laziness one of the 7 capital sin of your church
So the 7th day sabbath is a break from our labours and we sacrifice one day that Jesus created so man kind could build a relationship with Jesus father in heaven
If you rest every day of the week how do you survive ?
Jesus told Adam for his sin he would sweat from his brow
Eve sin she would bare children in pain
In this world nothing is free
Being born cost money
Being raised cost money
Dieing cost money
Recieving the gospel isn't free anymore
Every thing cost money
So how can we say every day is our sabbath that means we all become lazy
Right?
@@echoofthevoiceinthewildern3008 If you take the commandment literally, then yes. However, if you take every day as Covenant Day (remember what Fr. Mike said about seven also meaning Covenant) meaning to live by the New Covenant when you are waking and when you are sleeping, then every day is a Sabbath Day.
Yes, that is worship. But, we only observe 1 day as the "Sabbath."
You are so loveable, Father Mike. ✝️🙂✝️

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:17-20 KJV
Fr. Mike, Jews believe that in the Olam Haba, that the day of worship on Sunday. This is evident in the Mishna, Pirkei Avot 4, and in the commentaries. Rabbi Yaakov ben Kurshai, the teacher of Yudah haNassi explains this.
The Sabbath is the vestibule through which one enters into the Olam Haba - the Messianic age. In the banquet room of the Olam Haba, the Lord Himself would lay out the banquet. The Jews believed that the sacrifice in the Olam Haba would be a bloodless thanksgiving sacrifice. The word used by the Hellenic Jews was Eucharist. As the commentaries explain, one must repent of their sins before eating at the banquet feast of the Olam Haba. However, unlike the sacrifice of the lachem hapanim (bread of the presence of G-d) and wine before the Kodesh Hakodashim in the temple which was eaten by priests alone, this thanksgiving sacrifice was to be eaten by all.
The Sabbath itself was understood to be a preparation for the Olam Haba which was to come. It is due to this understanding that the early Catholic Jews referred to Sunday as the Eighth day as the Seventh Day was a preparation of the Eighth day.
Thank you very much for your comment.
There is a lot of need of experts of Jewish teaching and thorough Jewish interpretation of the Torah, like you, to fully understand Catholicism.
Only a few people understand that if your Faith is that the *Jewish Messiah* (Jesus Christ) has arrived then you are Catholic. All the other interpretations do not refer to the *Jewish Messiah.*
(Or, in the best case, they are good ok but seriously *incomplete* interpretations of the Jewish Messiah. In the worst case, they are just pagan stories about a non-Jewish Messiah).
@@lishmahlishmah Well the Tanakh (the Jewish OT) leaves out much, so that the people themselves become the living scripture. The Jewish faith is not based on the Tanakh but on Torah Shebaal Peh. That understanding of the Olam Haba is from the Torah Shebaal Peh (Oral Tradition) and found in the Mishna. G-d forbad Moses from writing the Torah Shebaal Peh because G-d wanted the Jewish people to become the living scripture, the living tradition so that the faith was transmitted from generation to generation through parents and the culture. This is why Christ never wrote a book, He taught the apostles and disciples an oral tradition. Just like Judaism, Catholicism is meant to be transmitted by parents to children and through the culture. Parents are the living scripture to children. This is also why Tradition is so important,
This is super interesting. May I ask though, don’t Jews reject Jesus specifically because of the oral tradition ? Or is that a misconception thrown around ? Also, does the Mishna hold the oral tradition that dates from before and after Jesus’s time ?

Thank you, Father Mike, for this explanation. I've often wondered about this, but never knew.
Peace to you.
In Isaiah 46:10, it says the Father declares the end from the beginning. And if you read the beginning, Genesis 1 and 2, you'll see that in the creation week, there is only one Sabbath and it's on the seventh day. In fact, the biblical festivals of Leviticus 23 start with the weekly seventh day Sabbath, not two sabbaths. Moreover, in Colossians 2:16-17, Paul even says these Sabbath days are shadows of things to come in the future that find their substance in Christ..... please look closely, friend. Sabbaths, new moons, and festivals ARE shadows of things to come, and Sunday is nowhere to be found. Christ is Lord of the Sabbath and states that fact in 3 gospels during the very Sabbath so many Christians deny. Matthew 12, Mark 2, and Luke 6, to be exact.
There are not two sabbaths anywhere within the entirety of scripture. God sanctifies and endorsed the seventh day, which isn't the first day of the week.
Hope this helps a little bit. I pray you are well, and stay safe.
Why do you call a man "Father", when "Father" means "one who created". What or who did the priest create? Why do you think it says in the Bible to call no man Father who is not your Father (creator) in Heaven? When you call a priest "Father", it makes you a liar. He did not create anything. It is also an insult to God, called "Blasphemy".
@@marriage4life893 You are correct. God turns his back on Sunday observance, and considers anyone who thinks that Sunday is a special day to be worshipping the Sun. That is why he never allowed a change to rename the day, so people would have "no excuse". The resurrection did not happen on Sunday, it happened just before sunset on Saturday, and even if it did the day of the resurrection does not make that same day a special day every week. That is Satanic reasoning. God also views the cross as a symbol AGAINST CHRIST. That is what killed him (actually it was a POLE (Stauros) not a cross). Having the cross as a symbol is a violation of the Second commandment, which forbids religious symbols. The beast that comes up out of the Earth in Revelation 13 is the Vatican, when it became its own country in 1929. They already put a cross on the forehead and right hand in some ceremonies. A better translation is "Symbol of the Beast". People will consider themselves to NOT have the "Mark of the Beast", with a cross on their forehead, claiming to be a Christian, but they DO have the "Mark (Symbol) of the Beast", which is ANTICHRIST. That is why Jesus (Yeshua) will say to them, "I never knew you".
@@starjetpilot Thank you for your reply. I am not sure if what God thinks of those who consider Sunday a special day of worship, therefore, I don't want to give out eternal judgments that are not for me to give.
In Acts 2, it states that the new believers worshiped daily in the temple and each other's homes. So, worshipping on the first day of the week is not wrong. We should worship daily, but that does not negate the command to remember the Sabbath day at all. Meanwhile, when Christ rose from the dead, it was the fulfillment of the biblical festival of the giving of the sheaf offering during the harvest season between Unleavened Bread and Pentecost.
Do you notice how Sunday is kept in remembrance of the resurrection but once a year his resurrection is solemnly celebrated in spring?
Now, look at the Sabbath. God commands that we remember the Sabbath every seventh day, and in Deuteronomy 5:15, he instructs us to remember our deliverance from bondage on that same day. But every year we are to remember our deliverance from bondage through the annual Passover.
So once a year and every week, God commands we remember our deliverance during Passover and the weekly Sabbath.
But the church today says no, and insists we are to remember resurrection every first day and once a year on the first Sunday following the first full moon of the spring equinox.
One set of remembrance is commanded by God and the other established through tradition of men in the name of God.
I don't say that to be rude, but only one can be true and another a counterfeit. I just pray for eyes to be opened, and hearts to be receptive. It's been over a millenia of this tradition being taught as a command of God, so only the spirit of God can turn the tide. I was not aware of Sabbath for 30+ years, and I went to Bible College. But God is good and his mercy has been abundant towards me.
@@marriage4life893 God considers people who observe Sunday as a religious "special" day to be worshipping the Sun, which is why it is called "SUNday". God refuses to communicate with, or recognize, anyone who thinks that they should go to church on Sunday. The resurrection did NOT happen on Sunday, that is only the day they found the tomb empty. Even if the resurrection happened on Sunday, that does not make Sunday a special day every week. The day of the week of the resurrection is irrelevant. If God would have wanted us to recognize Sunday as a special (holy) day after the resurrection, Jesus would have told the apostles to observe it (he was here for 40 days after the resurrection), but he did not. If the Apostles changed from recognizing Saturday as a special day, to observing Sunday INSTEAD, they would be making up their own religion, which is Satanic paganism. In addition, there was prophecy about the birth of the messiah and about his death and resurrection, so if you celebrate prophecy coming true that makes you a "doubting Thomas", because Thomas only believed the prophecy when it was proven to him that it came true. Celebrate God's word (prophecy), not the fulfilment of that prophecy. When God says that something is going to happen, believe it, celebrate the prophecy itself, not the fulfilment of that prophecy. The whole Bible is about teaching us to trust God, and Satan says, "Don't trust God", and Satan would have you believe that if God's prophecy comes true it is only by unrelated coincidence.

Good friday .you account for the three days but how does the nights work since jesus was resserected early sunday .not ever getting to the third night in the grave .

There is not only a clear (and great) biblical theological meaning for the Christian Shabbat "shift".
The Resurrection with the liberation of mankind from sins and from Death is certainly the main reason. No doubt: that's the true Shabbat. Now, you always must count 7 days starting from the Resurrection day.
(The Resurrection Day is the Feast and the Rest. Shabbat in ancient Hebrew means "Rest").
But there is also a contingent historical reason: in the first 3 centuries of Christianity, the Christian Jews were expelled from the synagogues and they were persecuted.
Also for this reason they had to meet secretly, on a different day.
They usually met early in the morning on the first day after Saturday, before heading to work. In this way, Christians celebrated the day of the Resurrection in the right very early morning time (described in the New Testament),
and at the same time they lived under the persecution which in any case had forced them to gather on that working day.
We must always keep in mind that (in the first 3 centuries of christianity) the Roman Empire allowed Judaism but persecuted Christianity.
The Christian faith was born as a faith fiercely persecuted by all the people. For 3 centuries, gathering on Sunday is viewed with suspicion throughout the Empire. At the cost of their lives, Christians defended the Day of the Lord. Persecuted by everyone, they decided to defend the Day of the Lord because for us Christians: that's the Holy 8th day.
Our beloved Jewish Fathers had told us: it was the Messianic Era Sabbath foreseen by Israel. The well-known 8th day.
In the same historical period, Jews who did not believe in Christ and Christians who believed in Christ, they split sharply in order to distinguish their 2 identities:
the Jews were distinguished with their Sabbath on Saturday,
the Christians with their Sabbath on Sunday. The "divorce" was done. Full stop.
Who were right?
Who is right?
Both of them!
If you believe that the Messiah has not yet arrived you must celebrate on Saturday! The Word of God is clear and your key is the Creation week, together with the Israel Tradition of Saturday/Shabbat.
If you believe that the Messiah has arrived (Jesus Christ Son of God, Our Savior) you must celebrate on Sunday! Because the Word of God is clear and Jesus Christ is the key to understand everything in the Israel history and in the world history (Creation & Redemption).
What should we do today?
For a Christian, it would be a good idea to do both days. (Some Christian groups do it).
But if he can't celebrate for 2 days a week, he must know that the true Christian Sabbath is Sunday.
(Btw. In Italian the word is: Domenica = The Lord's Day. We have no pagan Sun-day in Italian language. And we have no pagan Saturn-day. In Italy, the day before Domenica is Sabato, derived from Latin Sabbatum and from Greek Sabbaton, derived from Hebrew Shabbat / Shabbaton).

What biblical festival does Christ's resurrection fulfill?
The word " sunday " is not found in the Bible, but the term " first day of the week " is found eight times as follows:( Matt, 28: 1)( Mark 16; 1, 2 , 9 )( Luke 24: 1) ( Jhon 20: 1, 19) ( Acts 20: 7: )( 1 Cor, 16: 1, 2) The first sex texs all refer to events connected with Christ"s resorrection,
Just making sure, In the Ten Commandments "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy" (New International Version Bible, 1986/2002, Exodus 20:8). Even though it was during Moses time in the Old Testiment, I'm guessing because of what Father Mike explained we would honor the Sabbath on Sundays even though the Commandment was in the Old Testiment and not the New? I know this is a stupid question and he just explained it, I apologize for my confusing question.
Yes. We follow the 10 commandments but we don’t follow the Jewish temple laws. That’s because the 10 commandments are restated by Jesus is the NT (love God and love your neighbor) and because they are based in what’s called natural law or laws that everyone should follow. Like do not kill.
God does not change. He made the sabbath on the 7th day. When the Messiah returns, He will be keeping the Sabbath just like He did when He was here before. By the way... our Messiah Jesus was Jewish and still is. 🙂 Do not be deceived by men.
@@childofhashem7350 God doesn't change, but he does change the world.
@@michaelmicek exactly, but He doesn't change His Word.
Jesus is the Word of God, and he died and rose, fulfilling the Old Covenant and establishing the New Covenant.
What do you make of Hebrews 7:12?
"When there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the Law as well."
Wouldn't three days after Jesus died be Monday? Died on Friday 3pm, Saturday at 3pm represents the first 24 hours after death, Sunday at 3pm represents 48 hours after death, and Monday at 3pm would be 72 hours after death or rather 3 days after death? Not 8ntending to be disrespectful just genuinely interested in this idea.
What a great explanation. Also, the Bible in a Year is fantastic. I'm keeping up with it. Love it. For me, it's life-changing.
thank you Father, by the way, in spanish, or latin, the root is DOMINUS (DOMINGO, DOMENICA, DOMIGO),
God keeps blessing you.
And Portuguese. 👍
In Genesis, during creation week, God does not assign names to the days of the week. They are ordinal, cardinal, and nominal in their existence. In Hebrew, the week is spoken just as it's written in Genesis- 1st day, 2nd day, and so on. This makes a "Sunday sabbath" impossible to fall in the first day of the week because the Sabbath is the seventh day. God calls the seventh day the Sabbath while the other days of the week continue to have numerical names. No church has the authority to change what God Himself established since creation, even if you place Latin and pagan names to the days. It doesn't change a thing. There are not 2 weekly sabbaths, but only one, and it has never changed. Did Jesus resurrect on the first day? Cool. Let's make it a holy day of obligation by celebrating it on the fifth day of the week. We know the scriptures say they saw the tomb was empty on the first day, but the number 5 in gematria is the number of grace, so let's rule that remembering the first day resurrection on the fifth day fulfills the obligation of the Sabbath day command.
.... I'm being sarcastic, but I hope you get my point.
Be well and stay safe
@Marriage4life The truth is that God also set aside other days as "holy." "On exactly the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement; it shall be a holy convocation for you" (Leviticus 2:27). It is obvious that the "tenth day" of the month is not a Sabbath. The fact is that there are various things in the Old Testament that were holy, but which were confined to the Old Testament period, and were not included in New Testament practices. "These are the appointed times of the LORD which you shall proclaim as holy convocations, to present offerings by fire to the LORD -- burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings, each day's matter on its own day" (Leviticus 23:37). We would agree that burnt offerings are not a part of the New Covenant, even though God said they were "holy."
@@marriage4life893 This question comes to mind. If the church met on Saturday, then why would Paul instruct them to come the next day for the collection? These early Christians did not have the luxury of having Sunday off as most of us do. Many were slaves, and would rise before dawn to meet with fellow Christians before going to their delegated tasks. It would make no sense for them to be commanded to meet the second time just to make their contribution. Since this is a clear command, I have asked members of the Seventh Day Adventist Church if they came together on Sundays for this purpose. None that I have asked have admitted they did so. If this is a command, why do they ignore it?
@Marriage4life The Sabbath is not a law instituted at creation but under the Mosaic Covenant. Some say that the Sabbath is a command of God given in Genesis. To interpret Genesis 2:1-3 as a law given to humanity is in error. Though sin abounded, God gave no law until Moses. Paul states in Romans 5:13-14 that there was no law given from the time of Adam until the time of Moses. Furthermore, from Adam to Moses, there is no record in Scriptures of anyone keeping the Sabbath (especially during the period of Egyptian slavery captivity). In Genesis 2, it is called the seventh day and not the Sabbath. It is a description of what God did, not what God requires of man. To interpret Genesis 2:1-3 as a law also requires to create light on Sundays and animals on Friday. From the plain reading of the text, there is no reason to conclude that God intends to view every seventh day to be holy. Rather, it is quite possible to interpret that God declares that particular day, the actual seventh day, as holy. Interpretations which add (such as saying that God rested on the seventh day to establish the Sabbath) an underlying reason why God declares the day holy, is adding to the text.
On the Saturday or Sunday Am I allowed To go see a movie?
THANK YOU 🙏
There is no scripture that stated that Jesus changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. Jesus says he is Lord of the Sabbath. So to call Sunday the Lord’s day is adding to the text. The Sabbath is the Lord’s day. There are so many evidences of the Catholic Church admitting they have change the laws of God. You know the truth of the Sabbath. Please stop deceiving the people.
Amen and Biblically spot on. Praise God, friend. Thank you.
So much sense , thank you Father this clear explanation and information.
Father, our Lord Jesus celebrated the Sabbath. I think we Christians should go back to celebrate this day. It also bring us closer to our Jewish brothers and sisters.
also messainic jews
Holy Saturday is my favorite day of the year. I like how some have pointed out that, in the process of inaugurating the new creation on the 8th day, our Lord took time to rest on the 7th.
"I, who am the Chief cornerstone, the elect, the precious, lie for a little while within a stone...The Tree of life, therefore was planted in the earth, that the earth which had been cursed might enjoy the blessing, and that the dead might be released."
- Cyril of Jerusalem (Catechetical Lecture 13.35)
Even in death Christ Rested on Sabbath and rose on the 1st day to continue His work. God has NEVER transferred the solemnity of the 7th Day Sabbath to the day of the venerable sun.
Amen and spot on. Praise God.
In Scripture the Christians gathered together to break bread meaning partaking in the Holy Eucharist on the first day of the week which is Sunday. Even the Anti-Christian mob falsely labeled Easter as a Pagan holiday didn't realize every Sunday in the Church is a mini-Easter in which Christians celebrate the Day of our Lord's Resurrection. Even if a Pagan holiday fell upon Easter in Pagan celebrations it was never about our Lord's Resurrection yet alone is celebrated on every Sunday of the year.
In relation too Good Friday every Friday in the year is a Day of Penance. Many Christians are unaware on Fridays Christians are suppose to do an act of penance. Since the early Church Christians would abstain from eating meat on Fridays unless a Solemnity was on a Friday as major feast days Solemnities were meant to be a celebration of feasting and drinking which is why abstaining from eating meat wasn't done on those days.
Do we get rid of the other 9 commandments too? The disciples continued to worship on the 7th day Sabbath after the resurrection. That's in the Bible. The change of the Sabbath to Sunday came at the Council of Laodicea much later, but it never happened in the Bible. What God said to Remember, the whole world seems to have forgotten.
I believe that knowing only English as a language is a big detriment to many.
Let me share the days of the week with one of the oldest languages in the modern world: Portuguese.
Domingo - Sunday
Segunda-feira - Monday
Terça-feira - Tuesday
Quarta-feira - Wednesday
Quinta-feira - Thursday
Sexta-feira - Friday
Sábado - Saturday
Saturday is the day of the Sabbath, the bible says so, stop the Western shenanigans and "translations".
There are no such thing as pure translations, they will always morph the original meaning of the word.
I'm sure it is OK if it is celebrated on Sunday due the new covenant with Lord Jesus if you want to see it that way.
Look fellas, just take a day's rest, prayer, contemplation and reflection, that's all is being asked of us.
We do such a good job to overcomplicate things.
If your practice is to keep Sunday instead of the 7th Day Sabbath, you are sinning by breaking the 4th Commandment.
1 John 3:4 Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.
Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’"
That is what scripture says.
