- When God gave the Ten Commandments, the fourth command was that His people should “remember the Sabbath” and “keep it holy" (Exodus 20:8). God told the people of Israel that they should work for six days, but rest on the seventh. To this day, observant Jews worship on Saturday, the seventh day of the week.
Because of this, some argue that Christians violate the fourth commandment by worshipping primarily on Sunday. In this episode, Dr. David K. Bernard responds to that accusation and shares what the Bible says about worship and the true meaning of the Sabbath.

What did Jesus do?He kept the Sabbath,as His custom was He went to the synagogue to read...Jesus is our pattern,we should follow His footsteps.
Whenever Jesus publicly healed someone on the Sabbath, the Pharisees accused Him of breaking the Sabbath law (Matthew 12:10; Mark 3:2, John 5:14; 9:14-16). Jesus’ response was that He was working just as His Father was working, an answer that did not appease the religious leaders: “For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God” (John 5:18).
He didn't keep the Sabbath you are promoting. Where is the text that says it is Saturday? That was named after a pagan teaching. It says that God rested on the 7th day. Where does it say that day was Saturday? According to the Jewish calendar it changes. You don't even know the real meaning of the word Sabbath.
I know, that John 5:18 says, that he was breaking the Sabbath. But if we take that literally, then it contradicts his teachings in all other Gospels, and also his own words in John 15:10, that he kept the commandments.
The work, that Jesus did, was lawful work on the Sabbath, because he healed others, and doing good on the Sabbath is lawful. If he had made tables and chairs on the Sabbath, then he would have broken the Sabbath, and he would have sinned. But doing the work of God on the Sabbath is not breaking it, on the contrary, it honors the Sabbath.
So Jesus did not break the Sabbath itself, but the man-made rules about the Sabbath. Again, if we take the verse literally, then we have a massive Bible contradiction.
The Law of the Ten Commandments was so important that God personally wrote it with His own finger. Even after Moses, angry with the people, broke the two tablets of the Law, it was God who graciously wrote them again with His finger. This is a very important detail because it shows that the Law of the Ten Commandments, that is, the Moral Law, is a Law that transcends the ages and is applicable to every human being on earth.
The law of the ten commandments should not be confused with the ceremonial laws that found their fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Between the two laws, the moral law remains valid until the return of the Lord Jesus. Furthermore, after receiving the Law of the Ten Commandments as well as the ceremonial laws, Moses placed the Moral Law inside the ark together with Moses' staff and a bowl of manna, but the ceremonial laws were placed and kept outside the ark.
Likewise, the Laws received by Moses, both the moral one written by God and the ceremonial one written by Moses, existed long before in unwritten form, but in oral form transmitted from man to man. The proof is Genesis 26.5 where it is very clear that Abraham already respected both the Law of the Ten Commandments and the ceremonial laws 430 years before they were received and written during the time of Moses, when the Jewish people had not yet appeared. One thing is very clear to me. The majority of Christian churches consider the Law of the Ten Commandments to be annulled, but the Bible does not support this idea, on the contrary. Romans 7:12 is so clear about the moral law. How could God cancel his own Law which is holy, just and good?
If anyone has the courage, answer this question
And having the correct understanding of the meaning of the word Sabbath is more important than your misunderstanding of the meaning.
Also read ecclesiastis 12:13. Keeping God's commandments is the whole duty of men.
God's forth commandment says remember, did you forget & you don't want to remember.
John 14:15 if you love God keep his commandments.
Read Acts 15 for gentiles. Where is the text that says it is Saturday? That was named after a pagan teaching. It says that God rested on the 7th day. Where does it say that day was Saturday? According to the Jewish calendar it changes. You don't even know the real meaning of the word Sabbath.
The great sin of the Jews was their rejection of Christ; the great sin of the Christian world would be their rejection of the law of God
The sin of all mankind is walking by the flesh and not by the Spirit.

Sunday sacredness is invented by the roman catholic church
Actually, no it's not. Sunday worship started before the Roman Catholic Church began. You really should get into the history of the church before you come to that particular conclusion. I have read a book entitled "National Sunday law" which was written by a 7th day Adventist and the author missed some very crucial points. One of those points, is that the Church actually started on Sunday which was 50 days after Passover where Jews were converted to Christians on the first day of the week. Also written in that book was that Sunday represented the mark of the beast somehow by some gematria that the author used to prove some point which wasn't even relevant. If I were to give you the gematria of Jesus that number would turn out to be the number 8 which is perfectly inline of a new beginning after the new birth. So, from the point of real Christianity, you cannot separate Sunday for the Christian movement.
I would also like to point out, that due to the fear of a national Sunday law, it would be hard for a 7th day Adventist to think without bias because of his/her fear of taking the mark of the beast. The important message here is to understand that Jesus is the sabbath and there is no need to fear. Use critical thinking skills before disagreeing with this Doctor of Theology and jurisprudence, with a bachelor's degree in mathematics.
You lie ! Juste the week after the Resurrection the disciples of Christ use to meet for breaking the bred, the eucharist ! Nobody in Rome ! Jerusalem and them Antioch in Syria are the first !
From the human point of view the explanation of the pastor is wrong, what I know is that GOD is a GOD of order. That means their must be a specific day to worship Him and that is the Sabbath period.

sunday is a catholic tradition which not found in the bible.the sabbath was made for man not for the jews only.you cannot find a single text that says God made holy and rested on sunday but on the 7th day which is saturday.
I hope you really read your Bible. The early christians even before the Catholic church were going to church on Sunday
Try and relieve your mind from the slavery of the law
Besides, God rested on the seventh day was not or is not Sabbath.
@@hayford-xv6um Sorry but no....the Apostles including Paul kept the Sabbath. When the church was formed and the Apostles and Paul were dead then things really started to change. It is the Church and Church doctrine that changed it all for they did not want to Judaize Christianity. The God of the Jews is the same God I honor and try to obey.
@@hayford-xv6um quote---The early christians even before the Catholic church were going to church on Sunday... unquote
NOPE----NO Christian worshiped on Sunday!!!!
Book, chapter and verses??????
This PASTOR should listen to what the catholic themselves admit....which is that they, the catholic are the ones that changed the 7th day Sabbbath for Sunday...and all Protestants that keep Sunday are keeping a catholic law!!! Therefore sinning...breaking the true law of God and instead keeping a man made Law!!!
You are also Protestant tho.
The early church met everyday and gathered to worship EVERYDAY.
Acts 2
6 With one accord they continued to meet daily in the temple courts and to break bread from house to house, sharing their meals with gladness and sincerity of heart, 47praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.…
I wish I could have been there to see that. Even on Sunday. The Catholics can say anything they want, and usually do, no the Early church met on Sundays (Mondays...) I wouldn't accuse the early church of obeying Catholic laws. They were filled with the Holy Spirit and enjoyed fellowship and worship everyday.

Then HOW did any disciple get to Rome? Greece?
READ THAT VERSE AGAIN!!!! I quote : sharing their meals with gladness and sincerity of heart, ,,Unquote
EATING A MEAL!!!! Likely fish or lamb stew.
NO MENTION of worship or communion!!!
That is not true. It was on Sunday long before the Catholic Church existed. Catholic church says that they wrote the Bible, and they are the reason we have a god. They make all kinds of unbiblical claims.
The ceremonial laws were nailed to the cross. The Ten Commandments are God’s moral laws. The first four commandments are for God and the other six are for man. The Sabbath is just as important for me as the other nine commandments. The Sabbath is a day for me to nurture my relationship with God and in the same vein do good for others. The Sabbath day is my favorite day of the week. You know why? I crucify self and do good for others and spend quality time with God. The Sabbath has helped me tremendously as a young Christian.
Wrong
A typical advebtist nothing called ceremonial law

QUOTE the Bible that says any ceremony is performed on the weekly Sabbath!!!!
THere are several sabbaths FEASTS that ARE ceremonial--NEVER the seventh day Sabbath!!!!
How about the fact that Sunday worship was introduced by the Catholic Church?
Let us not be deceived by that fact, Romans 10 v4 is plain. Christ is the end of the law and now grace supersede everything.
@@lazarusjasonnorrisaraeb3042 quote--- Christ is the end of the law and now grace supersede everything.--unquote
Which laws??? ALL 613 of them???
Beginning in verse 4, “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. For Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based on law shall live by that righteousness.
Moses did DID NOT write the Ten Commandments!!!
God did with HIS FINGER!!!
The ONLY laws that weere abolished at the cross were the sacrificial laws--the priesthood laws. Since the Sabbath Commandments IS WITH the OTHER nine--your comment implies NO laws apply any more!!! Which then means we can murder, steal, etc with NO consequences from God!!!!
@@lazarusjasonnorrisaraeb3042 LOL, Christ worshiped on Saturday... So since Christ is the example, go worship on Sunday.
Besides Malachi 3:6 says, "I am the Lord, I do not change." Therefore, that means that whatever God said in the past, is still true in the present...
So therefore, do what the 4th c requires, and "Remember the Sabbath Day to Keep it Holy."
@@lazarusjasonnorrisaraeb3042 Mosaic law.....not God's Law
The book of Acts tells us the the early followers of Jesus worshipped together everyday. So the very first church met on Sunday (and Monday...) No the catholic church (which I am no fan of) didn't invent worshipping on Sunday.
Where in the Bible was another day sanctified like the Sabbath for us Christina's? Revelation 22:14 blessed are those that keep His commandments. What now?
It wasn't. Jesus kept the 7th day Sabbath and so did His disciples. Roman Catholic Church considered themselves "above the Bible" (in their own writings), and changed the Sabbath.
This is my commandment: that you lone one another. Jesus (John 15:12)

Matthew 28:9 . We worship every day, but Sunday from that day on was never to be the same. Saturday is for recreation/to enjoy God's creation & to remember our sin, but Sunday became the new day & so the new covenant was born on a Sunday 🙏
the lords day is the sabbath-saturday. the bible says that jesus is lord of the sabbath . just because they broke bread or met on sunday does not mean god changed the sabbath. there is no command from god to do so. do not go by the commandments of men but the commandments of god
Actually because the Jews use a lunar calendar, the Sabbath changes from time to time. So which is it? The Sabbath was about Rest, which you couldn't do anything after the Pharisees got through with it. After the work on the Cross was finished be Jesus, He became the Believers Sabbath (REST). You are going by the commands of the men that taught you what you are saying. Have you read the 631 laws of the Jews?
Constantine instituted Sabbath change to Sunday, Emperor Justinian 585AD instituted Sabbath persecution, but why ,? It was the work of the devil to lose this important truth
Wrong. they have records dating back to 100AD. Where is the text that says it is Saturday? That was named after a pagan teaching. It says that God rested on the 7th day.

The short answer is yes. The 4th commandment explains it why. Please read the fourth commandment.
The new covenant places God's law in our hearts. Jesus said, if you love me keeps my commandments.

@@hargisP2 what day is the Sabbath then?
I don't agree that we don't have to obey the Sabbath because it's under the old law. The reason I don't agree is because the 10 commandments are the MORAL law that transcends culture. Every believer is bound by the moral law of God. If you are going to make that argument then it's ok to murder someone, or to steal, or to worship idols, or to be disobedient to parents. However, I think the reason that we worship on Sunday is because that's the day that Christ rose from the dead which made it holy.
Both Saturday and Sunday are termed as "Sabbath" (Exodus 12:16). However, resting on Saturday is to Commemorate CREATION. Resting on Sunday Commemorates Deliverance - or Recreation also known as Redemption. Christians belong to "Deliverance" typified by "Exodus from Egypt" and that is the reason why Moses told Israelites to remember the Sabbath - Deliverance (Deuteronomy 5:15). Christians worshipped God on Sunday - (a) Mat 28:17) - (b) at Pentecost - Acts 2
Christ came to full fill the law. Remember the fourth commandment.
@@leapedrosa4475 Read Isaiah chapter 8;816😊

You just want to surtisfy your desires but the moral laws of the Lord will never change,keep it in mind for the rest of your life.

I didn’t hear Dr. Bernard address the fact that Constantine changed the day of rest for Romans to Sunday before the church changed it to Sunday. Constantine did it to honor the Sun God, to which he was a worshipper.
“the Lord’s Day” may very well be a reference to the Sabbath Day. Its up for debate that it was Sunday.
The word first day of the week is biblical it’s not from constantine
Acts 20:7 ; 1 cor 16:1-2

This guy is distorting sound doctrine. The Roman Catholic church, in the Catholic Synod, Canon 29, the Catholics instituted Sunday worship. Nowhere in the Bible is there a commandment to practice and observe the Sabbath on Sunday. Like I said, this guy is distorting sound doctrine.
Yes that's true. But there are places where the early christians gather on Sunday

Book, chapter and verses!!!
Further to the Hayford reply there are references in the book of Acts to the early church meeting on the first day of the week (Sunday) which is how the precedence was set. I am not a great fan of the Catholic Church, but in this instance all they did was formalise a practice that was in train as recorded in the New Testament.
Yet your doctrine of the trinity; that Roman Catholic Church made is fine.
Only JESUS CHRIST kept the law of God perfectly ❤
Keeping or observing the weekly 7th day Sabbath really shouldn’t be controversial at all. Here’s why ... It is this very special day that our Creator rested on, blessed, hallowed and sanctified (Gen. 2:2,3; Exo. 20:11) at the creation of our world and asks us to keep holy and celebrate every week as a memorial of His awesome creative power. This day that God calls “My holy day” and that we His people should call a delight and honorable (Isa. 58:13) clearly means a lot to God so it should mean a lot to us. He enshrined it in the very heart of His great 10 commandment moral law which is the only part of the Bible that God directly wrote with His finger on tables of stone signifying its permanence (Exodus 31:18). The weekly 7th day Sabbath was so holy and precious to Jesus that He not only taught the people what was and wasn’t lawful to do on this day (Matt. 12:12) but He encouraged His followers to pray for decades after His death and resurrection that when they needed to flee from tribulation they wouldn’t have to do so on the holy Sabbath (Matt. 24:20). And then again Jesus' grief stricken disciples after His crucifixion knowing His sacred regard for the Sabbath which they shared postponed the embalming of His body until after the Sabbath. As Luke reports on it many years later in Luke 23:56 "Then they returned and prepared spices and fragrant oils. And they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment." This confirms that the Sabbath is indeed 1 of God's commandments in His "holy, just and good" law (Romans 7:12). This blessed day is so special to God that He promises when He recreates a spectacular brand new world for the redeemed of all nations, “all flesh” will come together every Sabbath to worship and praise Him (Isa 66:23). So let’s in loving obedience to Jesus our God and Creator enjoy and celebrate Him by receiving the special blessing He offers everyone who keeps His holy day (Isa. 58:14). The weekly 7th day Sabbath is a wonderful gift to all of us because it's special, set apart relationship time with our Creator and Redeemer which is why Jesus said "The Sabbath was made (created) for mankind" (Mark 2:27). And if you have any doubt that Jesus wants His saved by grace people to obey His commandments including the 4th commandment 7th day Sabbath out of love for Him and because they are saved you only need to read the following verses: John 14:15 - If you love Me keep My commandments. Ecclesiastes 12:13 - Fear God and keep His commandments for this is the whole duty of man. 1 Corinthians 7:19 - Keeping the commandments of God is what matters. Revelation 14:12 - Here is the patience of the saints who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Revelation 12:17 - And the dragon was enraged with the woman and went to make war with the rest of her offspring who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Revelation 22:14 - Blessed are those who do His commandments that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter through the gates into the city. May God bless you all as you open your heart to His leading on this important test of our willingness to obey Him in all things.
Totally agree... times and laws shall not be changed. The holly bible does not mention any worship on Sunday and even Jesus. Let's not mock with Ten Commandments cos it's written in God's own fingers. Jesus came to fulfill and not to destroy. Sabbath are made for men.. if you are not men you can worship on any other day. Thanks
So! SDA is going kill us Christian's worship on Sunday! Is this true!
@@ThomasDickensheets Judgement is for God as to who believes and is obedient. Are you worried about your physical being or your soul when it comes to death?
KJV Mark 6
2 And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?
Real and eternal REST can only be found in a person called Jesus. Not on a physical day
Luke 6:5. Jesus said, the son of man is the Lord of the Sabbath.
Now what's not clear about this.
Jesus was under the old law, so he kept the Sabbath. Remember when he healed the Leper in Matt 8:1-4 Jesus says, " go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a proof of people" Well since Jesus kept that, do you? John 1:17 " For the law was given through Moses, GRACE AND TRUTH came through Jesus Christ"
Ten commandments will be there include the sabbath law

IS murder a sin? Stealing? Adultery? Then why is not keeping the Sabbath NOT a sin???? A ONE PACKAGE Contract made between you and God when you accepted to to be HIS follower. Yet you have refused to keep that contract. NO different than the Israelits at the base of Mt Sanai worshipping a golden calf.
---btw---James 2:10-26 . Whoever breaks one commandment is guilty of breaking them all. For the same one who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not commit murder.” Even if you do not commit adultery, you have become a lawbreaker if you commit murder.
Not keeping the Sabbath make you a murderer, adulterer, thief, etc.
Explain that to God on the Day of Judgement.
Ex 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.
A SPECIAL DAY!!!!

I was already aware of Col 2:16. I was already familiar with "the day of the Lord" being the Sunday that he was resurrected. This segment went into more detail about the differences between ceremonial law and moral law which is helpful to me, as I've been an SDA member for three years because of the 4th commandment. The reason I visited them was because I learned from the Abeka homeschool curriculum that the emperor Constantine and the early Roman Catholic church agreed to change the day of worship in order to undermine the Jewish economy. I want my children and grandchildren to be in church and I want to attend with them as often as possible. There are other issues I have with SDA that I don't whole heartedly agree with. But Sunday worship is no longer an issue for me. I'll be watching some more of your videos now.
Historically the Council of Nicea 325AD adopted Sunday rather than Saturday ( the true biblical sabbath!) for two reasons 1. Constantine worshiped the 'sun god Saturn 2. As a slight to Jews! This is proved by thr writings of the council by Esuebius of Nichodemia

Because God was Never specific about anything. The Pharisees didn't worry about anyone keeping the Sabbath. Any day will work. God changes a lot. The fact that the commandment starts with Remember isn't important either.
'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates."
The 7th day is what God gave man to rest and keep holy and in Luke that is made very clear that day is Saturday which started at sun set on Friday and ends sun set on Saturday which then is the time Sunday begins which is the 1st day.
He talked about spiritual rest❤

Dr thanks
But I want to disagree more closely with you.
Ten commandments are the Law of God.
Ceremonial Laws are simply Mosaic Law.
Mosaic Law came to an end When Jesus was crucified on the Cross.
This is why Apostle Paul says Let no one judge you in respect to Sabbath Days which belong to Mosaic Law
(Colossian 2:16,17 Leviticus 23) 7 yearly sabbaths including Passover, Pentecost among others.
But Jesus Christ Said when it comes to Ten commandments "it's easier for Heaven and Earth than one jot in the Law to pass away." Luke 16:17.
Thank you for this!
Constantine changed the day to get unity between pagans an Christians. Please do your history on this. And the resurrection was on Sabbath... Not Sunday!
Resurrection was on the 1st day.....Sunday.
These 10 minute videos are giving me so much clarification and understanding in and through God’s word. Thank you so much🙏
Amen! Beautiful!
No you are so wrong. How can you be right on Oneness and then be so wrong on the 7th day Sabbath. It is a commnand. It is part of the moral Law. Yes we should not go overboard by adding to the command but please don't go changing the day! It is a holy convocation and that means we need to congregate with the saints. If everyone has his own day then how do we congregate??!!!
I know someone who keeps Sabbath the issue now is he keeps the law of Moises now. For him keeping the sabbath is a form of sanctification and keeping the law (law of moises) a form of justification. He has noted Faith in Jesus is not enough, but we most return to the law. He has built a faith and a distorted doctrine just on the 4th commandment.
Jesus called him self "lord of the sabbath, and stated "come to me and i will give you rest". I'll stick with Jesus commandment.
I thank God for blessing us with Dr Bernard
Sooo wise!!!! May God bless me with the same knowledge and understanding. Glory to his name!!!
Christian worship sunday because Constantine insert the sun worship, into Religious observance,,,and Catholic change the Lord's day saturday into Sunday...so whom you follow God's law or Man's law.
also if you read the catholic ten commandments notice that the 2nd commandment is missing...(vs the original ten commandments...check it out ....also notice that the commandments are noted differently...it's kind of like saying that' they're the ones in charge of the ten commandments when they're doing stuff like that...
Man's law?? 😂😂
Seventh day will always full of filthiness for Catholics.
You , Seventh day Church worshipped A.G White😂😂
It's true that Christendom, the whore, in its ignorance instituted Sunday as the day of worship akin to the Sabbath for the Jews. However, Sunday is not a replacement for the Sabbath day rest. Jesus is the Sabbath rest for the people, just as he fulfilled all the law so that believers walk in grace through faith. The true church, the body of Christ, can and does meet any day. And our Sabbath rest in Christ is continual, moment by moment, and not just on one day. The law and the prophets were a shadow of that which was to come in the substance, which is Christ Jesus.
@@donovans6472 very true
Jesus was first worship on sunday from his resurrection..sabbath is not a worship day in old testament..it is a rest day..you must understand that..rest and worship is different
who established Sunday as day of rest
No One Has, except that of the harlot... the Roman Catholic Church, "who by virtue of her divine mission, changed the Sabbath to Sunday."
Daniel 7:25, "And they shall think to change times and laws."
What is both a time and a law? The 4th Commandment... Exodus 20:8-11
Study the Church and the Popes 4th century and you will find your answer as to who changed the law.
Always have something very beneficial to share on here brother Bernard and I thank you for that! God Bless you and I'm praying for you 🙏
I love how Dr. Bernard always know what he's talking about, like he's just so knowledgeable. Thank you for this ❤️
This Pastor is in error, he doesn't understand what he is talking abouth.
Here we go again... God says what he says and means what he says... He's the same yesterday, today and forever.
He's not like man changing his mind with every doctrine... He has the Sabbath that's what we are supposed to worship Sabbath!!! Nothing else else!
Read your Bible. There are many scriptures stating that we have our Sabbath rest in Jesus Christ. Read and study Gal 3:22-27. Salvation is a free gift from God through His Son Jesus Christ. Salvation is thru faith. Gal 3:22-27
Where is the text that says it is Saturday? That was named after a pagan teaching. It says that God rested on the 7th day. Where does it say that day was Saturday? According to the Jewish calendar it changes. You don't even know the real meaning of the word Sabbath. Have you read Acts 15? You should.
Wow you nailed it. Thank you so much.
Even the Apostles didn't go to church on Saturday. Acts 13ff explain that the Apostles and other Jesus followers went to synagogues of un-beleivers on Saturdays. They went there to share the Good News of Jesus at risk of life and limb. What an example to us even now.
Love one another is the only way to heaven. Because God is the god of love.
He is also a jealous God and expects as our Father to those who believe to work at holiness and be obedient.
I have been praying for clarification on this, thank you.
Very well said I must say. You changed my mind.thank you.
It’s not a ceremonial law is one of the 10 Commandments!!!
I try to work 6 days and take off 1 but the Sabbath is on Saturday in the jewish calander
quote--- but the Sabbath is on Saturday in the jewish calander.. unquote
Nope-it is on over almost every calendar.
I get callendar from may Catholic companies.ALL with Sunday as the first day of the week. Just as the Bible says. Christ rose on the first day of the week, after the Sabbath.
To Worship God is for every day not just a day
Amen! Jesus is our sabbath rest. Jesus has already paid the price on the cross for us all humankind. Gal 3:22-27 explains we are no longer under the law because of what Jesus has done for us.
Thanks Colossians 2:16 is all about ceremonial feasts , drinks and ceremonial Sabbath's not weekly Sabbaths, read Leviticus 23:28-33 to understand ceremonial Sabbaths, please
Loving these!!
My my people you listen to him not calling for a certain day of week just what ever your church calls for that should be your day of worship.
Jn. 4:24. Act. 2: 46 ; 5: 42. Sabbath rest is receiving the Holy Spirit into your life. Matt. 11: 28-30. You are the temple of the Holy Spirit. 1Cor. 3: 16,17 ; 6: 19,20.
So then why do we tithe when tithing was meabt for the levites and was under the mosaic law of Moses, please explain ty
I address this topic in Episode 9 (Should New Testament Believers Tithe?).
ruclips.net/video/9_jgPKW7bWM/видео.html
@@DavidKBernardUPCI ok ty :)
@@DavidKBernardUPCI
No!
Serious question. If we don’t follow the law why do we teach tithing. Can you show us an example of tithing in action in the New Testament?
We absolutely should teach giving even sacrificially but I don’t see tithing.
I wondered that too.
John 13:34
34 “A new command I give you: LOVE ONE ANOTHER. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
2 Corinthians 9:7
7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
He has an episode on tithing. I just watched it.
@@honesty2152 that's not what tithing is
@@donovans6472 But thats the command that Jesus was talking about the Law of Love. Dont get why people think its the law of Mount Saini, the 613 laws.
I think…. I think…. I think Where does it say Yousha rose on the Sunday.?
Exo 20:8-11,mathew 5:17-19,1 tim 3:16,james 2:8-10,rev 22:18.
And Jesajah 66,23 which is very clear about it.
The apostles didn't institute Sunday. Sunday worship was instituted by sun worshippers who joined the church and this is why it has laws enforcing its observation
Romans 14 said it all, straight up.
I was just thinking about this subject the past week! Thank you so much for this timely message 🙏‼️
Your pointing out only Israel but your not pointing Jesus Christ kept Sabbath... There many types of Holy days..
But 4th commandment is only 7th Day of week every week... You did not read exo 20:8-11... You are reading only one sentence of 4th commandment....
Isnt there a difference in resting abd worship? To my way of thinking is we should literally rest on Saturday and worship on Sunday!
Wer in the Bible say Sunday is holy?
Sunday worship is unbiblical and surprisingly its the only law out of the that most Christians break.... i totally disagree with this teaching
This man is following the truth
I read 1 Corinthians 16 . No where does it mention worship day, it was to collect donations for Jerusalem.... so every time you see 1st day of the week does it say worship ? I suggest everyone watching this video to read their Bible and put this pastor to the test.
The Dr has not answered the question, the Lord's day was not Sunday but Saturday...who brought Sunday worship and why..if anyone want more information look for the book the National Sunday law...🙏🙏
Sorry sir, the 4th commandment still stands to this day. It was for every generation.
Amen 🙏 🙏 🙏
Plus the 10 commandments are different than the law. Sacrifices were abolished but not the commandments. If so why would you follow 9 commandments and not 1
Do you really understand what Jesus did on the cross? You should be upholding the sabbath everyday. We have our comfort, our rest, because He did all the work. My sabbath is forever because of Him.
Why is the sabbath a "sign"?
It’s stands every generation to the people it was given to. We in this New Testament was given Jesus! We come to him and abide in him daily as the New Testament was in His Blood and Body!
You need not struggle to make Sunday a day of rest. Nowhere in the Bible are Christians commanded to keep Sunday Holy. Sometimes it's better to acknowledge what you don't understand than to cook your way around it.
The question is which law Torah does not apply to the Brit Chadasha (New Testament) believers? You cannot push away all the Torah of God in the Old Testament some are applicable to the church and interspersed in the gospels and epistles. Find it out and be diligent.😊
Wow! Thank you Pastor Bernard for the words of wisdom. Every apostolic members must know this. Very informative message.
The Holy Spirit is our Helper in the absence of Jesus and grants us the grace to obey God's commands without question. The reason you moved to Sunday was because of Constantine and The Catholic Church. Speak the truth.
Woe unto those pastors who lead my sheep astray. No where in the NT does it say the Sabbath was changed or that the commandments are no longer in effect. Lies are an abomination to God
Where is the text that says it is Saturday? That was named after a pagan teaching. It says that God rested on the 7th day. Where does it say that day was Saturday? According to the Jewish calendar it changes. You don't even know the real meaning of the word Sabbath. Have you read Acts 15? You should. Colossians 2:14-15 (KJV) 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Christ fulfilled all of the Law. Because you can't. Every time you try to please God by your own efforts disqualifies your saved by faith. Because if you miss one Sabbath you have failed on all of them. You misunderstand the meaning of the commandment.
Here is the text in context:
Colossians 2:14-16 (KJV) 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Deuteronomy 31:26 (KJV) Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.

What was HANDWRITTEN????? Law of MOSES!!!!
Sunday is not the new Sabbath and is not in the word of God... folks study your bible
That was very good! Keep them coming!
Amén
Sunday is the national emblem of Catholic church sun day worship came out of Rome not the bible
Sunday is a pagan day
Thank you so much rev bernard we satisfied your answer we blessed. Thank you Jesus
Pretentious people think they know.
The KJV Holy Bible says, they are fools. Do not do surgical reading but study it. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide and give you wisdom. Surrender and cleanse your heart. Do fasting, let the Lord Jesus Christ give you understanding to learn his words for you. Do not just listen to other experts, open the KJV Holy Bible by yourself..,.,
God, is not sanctified, is he like us?
The 10 commandments refer to the 7th day but, the 7th day is mentioned at creation when there's no Jew or gentile. God takes Himself seriously because He refers to the work of creation as He gives us the 4th commandment. This gives us an understanding as to who is the owner of creation and the law giver that we are not swept by evolution and big bang theories. Sabbath keeping is not only for going to church but to know who deserves our homage.Sunday worship is found to have been enforced by Condtantine in 321 AD. Those who worship on Sunday are giving homage to the one who introduced it as the day of worship. The venerable day of the sun. Ezekiel 8:16 Let us read the Bible prayerfully for God's salvation is individual based and entrusting pastors with our salvation is dangerous.
But sir, are you missing the fact that only the Roman Catholic church who started Sunday worship?
Amen.
What scriptures did the apostles and the early church follow, it was the law, psalms and prophets. Therefore, we shouldn't divide old from new Testaments. We do have a new covenant however, no covenant is ever abolished only fulfilled. When you say this is for Jews and that for Christians, you effectively have made a divisive practice that has unintended consequences. Neither Jesus nor the apostles made a decree this divisive. The early church never records that the sabbath was disposed because of one day that the church met. There is no pattern of Sunday church in scripture only sabbath and meetings in houses. All else is speculation and guesswork.
Exodus 31:16-17
King James Version
16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17 IT IS A SIGN BETWEEN ME AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
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, a New Moon celebration or A SABBATH DAY. 17 THESE ARE A SHADOW of the things that were to come; THE REALITY, HOWEVER, IS FOUND IN CHRIST.
Matthew 11:28
28 “COME TO ME (CHRIST), all you who are weary and burdened, and I WILL GIVE YOU REST.
Romans 14:5
One person CONSIDERS ONE DAY MORE SACRED than another; ANOTHER CONSIDERS EVERY DAY ALIKE. Each of them should BE FULLY CONVINCED IN THEIR OWN MIND.
@@honesty2152 isn't romans 14:5 referring to fasting.....furthermore doesn't it say in Issaiah that in heaven we will be worshiping on the Sabbath......doesn't sound like the sabbath is irrelevant if this is the case......
Wish day is the lord's day in the bible
Yes truly
The phrases Old Testament and New Testament are a man-made division and have no relevance to God's Word which is the whole of Scripture. Man came along later when they began to translate the text and added a dividing in the scriptures. This has been seized upon by many modern scholars to conclude that the Old is old and the New is new but ALL of it is God's Word and there is no less or more weight given from the Word of God. Ask your self, why didn't the "New Testament" begin at the Resurrection instead of Matthew 1:1? Matthew 1:1 has the same importance as Malachi 4:6. Both are equally the same Word of God.
There is no justification from the Bible for worshipping on Sunday apart from it coming from the mind of men. If God said He set that day based on his rest after working for six days and blessed it, then we see that it can not change based on the reason it was created. If we say we can worship god any day, it means we are worshipping different god not that of the Bible. Based on the saying that the law was given to Jews this idea is baseless because there is no special Bible for gentiles, we are all using the same Jews Bible.
