Same!!! I just told my husband today that yes I can certainly recognize "the list" but after hearing this teaching last night I feel like I am much more understanding of each one and why it is given to mirror sin. "Let he who has ears hear!" Amen.

You're very welcome, Ken Yew Cheok. May the Lord be praised.

Thank you! May the Lord bless you too.

*The Law & the Sabbath* The Sabbath has its roots in the garden. “God blessed it and sanctified it” - but he does not command it until later as a part of the relationship and covenant that he has with the children of Israel through the Mosaic Law. The verses in Exodus that command the Sabbath are to the Israelites and not to the whole world. God did not deliver the gentiles from Egypt. He did not bring them to Mount Sinai. He did not establish a covenant with the gentiles. It does include foreigners living in their cities. This is to prevent the Israelites from getting their work done on an extra day through foreigners and slaves - but more importantly that these foreigners and slaves should also rest. To reiterate: this is not a command for the whole world. It is included with the mosaic covenant with the children of Israel. There exists only two commandments for the bride of Christ. But first, let’s make a distinction between the church and the children of Israel. The Abrahamic promise is different from the mosaic covenant that was made with the children of Israel. Abraham’s promise is that of a son - specifically Isaac, and that all the people’s of the world would be blessed through Abraham - This is the Messianic promise. It is received by faith. “Abraham believed God and it was counted as righteousness.” Jesus is that messiah and his life and death fulfill and close the Old Covenant that was strictly for the children of Israel. The church made up of jews and gentiles have a new covenant of grace and new commands of “Love” The prophet Jeremiah records that the covenants will change: Jeremiah 31: 31-33 31 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. 32 It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord. 33 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time,” declares the Lord. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.” Verse 31 is clear that a new covenant was coming and that it would replace the old covenant Verse 32 contrasts it with the Old Covenant. “it will not be like...” the one made with the children of Israel via Moses. Verse 33 explains the difference. This new law will be in their hearts and minds; it is not a to-do list of laws which carry the penalty of death. Circumcision of the penis was a sign of the old covenant. The new covenant requires being born again by the Holy Spirit. This is referred to as a circumcision of the heart. Romans 2:29, Colossians 2:11. It is mentioned in the Old Testament but was only possible on a temporary basis through perpetual repentance. It was not until the Old Covenant was closed and Christ sent the Holy Spirit to make this spiritual circumcision permanent through His indwelling in the believer. The Old Covenant was closed: Ephesians 2: 15 “... having annulled the law with its commandments and requirements...” Hebrews 7:12 “For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.” Hebrews 7:18-19 “there is an annulling of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness, for the law made nothing perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.“ Hebrews 7:22 “by so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant.” Hebrews 8:6 “But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.” Hebrews 8:7 “For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.” Hebrews 8:13 “In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.” I Corinthians 13: 8-13 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Matthew 27: 37-40 “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” Gentile believers were never under mosaic law. We are taught with complete clarity that we are not now under the law (Romans 6:4). We are under grace and our righteousness is in Christ. I Timothy 1:9-10 8 But we know that the law is good, if a man *use it lawfully;* 9 Knowing this, that *the law is not made for a righteous man,* but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; Shall we sin because we are not under the law? God forbid! We have two the commandments from Jesus. These are not burdensome as John records, and they fulfill all of the laws in a manner that exceeds their limited capability. Laws are what we are forced to do through pain of death. Love is what we are able to do because of the life of Christ in us. I John 5:23 “And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment” John 13: 34-35 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 15:12 “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.” We are His church. We are not the children of Israel. We are not under the Mosaic law. We are under grace. This is clear in Jeremiah’s prophecy because he uses the phrase “Not like the covenant I made...” It is vastly different. It is for this very reason that we have two separate portions of the Bible: the Old Testament which documents the history, Abrahamic promise, the mosaic covenant, the mosaic laws, and the prophets. In contrast to the New Testament which documents the fulfillment of messianic prophecies, the teachings of Jesus, history of the early church, our clear and only commandment of Love, and further prophecies regarding end times. Because we are the church we have no right to teach, force, or require any believer to obey Mosaic law. This includes the 10 commandments, circumcision - which Paul clearly opposed as part of the New Covenant - and it includes the sabbath. We are to encourage New Covenant law - that of love - which is superior in all ways to the Mosaic law. I firmly believe in the importance of the sabbath in the OT - but only because It demonstrates God’s attitude towards us and our rest that we have in Christ. I am convinced that the sabbath has been replaced; it has not been replaced by Sunday or any other day of the week, but by Christ himself. Many have made “keeping the sabbath” a condition of salvation by believing that if someone does not keep the sabbath then they are part of the Whore of Babylon and will suffer punishment. That is a form of legalism. Additionally, sabbath keeping is a subtle form of pride; for example: “I keep the sabbath, God is pleased with me [but not with you.]” God is pleased with us only because Christ is in us and for no other reason. We were created for good works which is evidence of our genuine faith - and those works are expressed through love for one another, our neighbors, and our enemies. Love is not burdensome. The true believer does not “go” to church. He (or she) is the church. They pray without ceasing. They sing to each other in Psalms, Hymns, and spiritual songs. They love their brothers and sisters, their neighbors, and their enemies. They make amends for their sins, they seek Christ in all things, and rest in him continuously; they do these things every day of the week. So then, does this mean that we are exempt from keeping the 10 commandments? YES, but only because we keep them from the heart: Matthew 22:37 1) Love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength - and we love our neighbor as we love ourselves. 2) Do not falsely imagine God to be anything but who he actually is. 3) We bear the name of Christ. Do not take his name in vain. Do not live like you are married to Christ, but fornicating with the world. 4) Christ is our rest from works of the law. 5) We must honor all lawful authority. 6) We must love our enemies and give them food and clothes. 7) We must not lust after another, which is adultery. 8) We must work to supply our own needs and those of others. 9) We must speak the truth in love, because Christ is the truth. 10) We must be content with what we have because he has said, “I will never leave you, nor forsake you.” We are coheirs with Christ. The true church keeps the sabbath every day because we are in church every day. The Saturday sabbath is not for the bride of Christ. Christ is the Lord of the sabbath. He is the Lord of our rest.

Jesus is our spiritual rest, but we still keep the Sabbath rest for it is a day to Honour him. He sanctified it and blessed it. Jesus kept the Sabbath, his disciples, apostles and early christians kept the Sabbath so we should as well. It is a set appart day! Grace be with you

May the Lord bless you as you listen!

Thank you so much for making those books available, God bless you

@@music-ff1jj You're very welcome. All praises to the Lord!

You're welcome, Patty. May the Lord continue to bless you.

Which of the days of the week is the seventh? Why do you think the Sabbath was presented to man? I am convinced from Scriptures that there are at least two reasons. First, to fulfill our weekly appointment with God, Genesis 2. The second is to provide the weekly rest for the physical body. Do we make an appointment for the Dentist and then turn up a day later? Would you be seen by the Dentist? How then do we think that God, who said "come let us meet on the 7th day", MUST see us when we turn up on the 1st? Surely, surely the truth of the Sabbath is openly available to all who genuinely seek to find it.

Romans 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

Agreed, Khamraj. What God says goes. But, are you indicating that you think someone is trying to change God's law?

You're most welcome, Kev. And as always, may the Lord receive the praise!

No really its just sun to sun up on Saturday...

@@Iaminnocentlol I believe Mr. Allen is correct, God's Holy Sabbath is from sunset Friday through sunset Saturday. God wants ALL His people to keep it continually, it is a very great blessing and covenant. You should check out the "Assembly of Called Out Believers," there are many videos here on RU-vid. I promise you won't regret it. God bless. ~Shalom Aleichem!

Verse 33 explains the difference. This new law will be in their hearts and minds; it is not a to-do list of laws which carry the penalty of death. Circumcision of the penis was a sign of the old covenant. The new covenant requires being born again by the Holy Spirit. This is referred to as a circumcision of the heart. Romans 2:29, Colossians 2:11. It is mentioned in the Old Testament but was only possible on a temporary basis through perpetual repentance. It was not until the Old Covenant was closed and Christ sent the Holy Spirit to make this spiritual circumcision permanent through His indwelling in the believer. The Old Covenant was closed: Ephesians 2: 15 “... having annulled the law with its commandments and requirements...” Hebrews 7:12 “For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.” Hebrews 7:18-19 “there is an annulling of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness, for the law made nothing perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.“ Hebrews 7:22 “by so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant.” Hebrews 8:6 “But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.” Hebrews 8:7 “For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.” Hebrews 8:13 “In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.” I Corinthians 13: 8-13 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Matthew 27: 37-40 “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” Gentile believers were never under mosaic law. We are taught with complete clarity that we are not now under the law (Romans 6:4). We are under grace and our righteousness is in Christ. I Timothy 1:9-10 8 But we know that the law is good, if a man *use it lawfully;* 9 Knowing this, that *the law is not made for a righteous man,* but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; Shall we sin because we are not under the law? God forbid! We have two the commandments from Jesus. These are not burdensome as John records, and they fulfill all of the laws in a manner that exceeds their limited capability. Laws are what we are forced to do through pain of death. Love is what we are able to do because of the life of Christ in us. I John 5:23 “And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment” John 13: 34-35 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 15:12 “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.” We are His church. We are not the children of Israel. We are not under the Mosaic law. We are under grace. This is clear in Jeremiah’s prophecy because he uses the phrase “Not like the covenant I made...” It is vastly different. It is for this very reason that we have two separate portions of the Bible: the Old Testament which documents the history, Abrahamic promise, the mosaic covenant, the mosaic laws, and the prophets. In contrast to the New Testament which documents the fulfillment of messianic prophecies, the teachings of Jesus, history of the early church, our clear and only commandment of Love, and further prophecies regarding end times. Because we are the church we have no right to teach, force, or require any believer to obey Mosaic law. This includes the 10 commandments, circumcision - which Paul clearly opposed as part of the New Covenant - and it includes the sabbath. We are to encourage New Covenant law - that of love - which is superior in all ways to the Mosaic law. I firmly believe in the importance of the sabbath in the OT - but only because It demonstrates God’s attitude towards us and our rest that we have in Christ. I am convinced that the sabbath has been replaced; it has not been replaced by Sunday or any other day of the week, but by Christ himself. Many have made “keeping the sabbath” a condition of salvation by believing that if someone does not keep the sabbath then they are part of the Whore of Babylon and will suffer punishment. That is a form of legalism. Additionally, sabbath keeping is a subtle form of pride; for example: “I keep the sabbath, God is pleased with me [but not with you.]” God is pleased with us only because Christ is in us and for no other reason. We were created for good works which is evidence of our genuine faith - and those works are expressed through love for one another, our neighbors, and our enemies. Love is not burdensome. The true believer does not “go” to church. He (or she) is the church. They pray without ceasing. They sing to each other in Psalms, Hymns, and spiritual songs. They love their brothers and sisters, their neighbors, and their enemies. They make amends for their sins, they seek Christ in all things, and rest in him continuously; they do these things every day of the week. So then, does this mean that we are exempt from keeping the 10 commandments? YES, but only because we keep them from the heart: Matthew 22:37 1) Love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength - and we love our neighbor as we love ourselves. 2) Do not falsely imagine God to be anything but who he actually is. 3) We bear the name of Christ. Do not take his name in vain. Do not live like you are married to Christ, but fornicating with the world. 4) Christ is our rest from works of the law. 5) We must honor all lawful authority. 6) We must love our enemies and give them food and clothes. 7) We must not lust after another, which is adultery. 8) We must work to supply our own needs and those of others. 9) We must speak the truth in love, because Christ is the truth. 10) We must be content with what we have because he has said, “I will never leave you, nor forsake you.” We are coheirs with Christ. The true church keeps the sabbath every day because we are in church every day. The Saturday sabbath is not for the bride of Christ. Christ is the Lord of the sabbath. He is the Lord of our rest.

The argument over the significance of which day to keep as the Sabbath is a perfect example of straining at knats while swallowing camels.

@@sheilasmith7779 so your not Jewish, it does matter to Jews

You're very welcome, John. All praises to the Lord.

@@Anekopress Amen

Thank you. The Lord is good.

I understand that there is a difference between the old covenant law, and the things that the Jewish people had to do literally, and the commandments that come from God. The problem with saying that we're not obligated to obey God's commandments is that it sounds like we are saying that we think it is okay to not love God, to worship idols, to murder, to steal, to covet, etc. I do not understand why some Christians try to make a case for us not needing to obey God's commandments. Again however distinguishing that there is a difference between God's commandments and the Old testament law. I think the Bible makes it same distinction. Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:19)

@@jeremiahzeiset remember who Jesus was speaking to in the book of Matthew! What I said the apostle Paul said. Paul was the apostle to the gentiles!

@@Butterfly07949 Jesus also spoke about grace, didn't he? As much as Paul. And Paul also said this: As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear - 1 Timothy 5:20. It seems scripture balances itself. I don't understand how anyone can not be opposed to sin. Do we sin? Yes, but it should make us shudder.

@@jeremiahzeiset but you cant balance law with grace as Christians are not under law. Remember Jesus was speaking to non Christians and whatever Jesus said has to go through the cross anyway!

@@Butterfly07949 I've heard that excuse before (that Jesus was speaking to non-Christians). But, the dilemma doesn't change. In Revelation, for example, it's clear that there is a consequence for sin in the believer's life, as also is the case in every single OT and NT book. Are we saved by grace? Yes. Are we damned by our continued sin (there's no more repentance for willful sinning, according to scripture)? Yes. Are there two opposing ideas presented in scripture? Seemingly, yet only to those who aren't willing to take all of scripture at it's word, for what it says. The problem is we think we need to understand everything, to figure everything out humanly speaking. But, by faith, we must accept all of scripture, and also apply it to ourselves as it fits. This idea of picking and choosing which scriptures to believe has to go.

You are very welcome. May the Lord Jesus be praised!

Amen.

Amen.

*The Law & the Sabbath* The Sabbath has its roots in the garden. “God blessed it and sanctified it” - but he does not command it until later as a part of the relationship and covenant that he has with the children of Israel through the Mosaic Law. The verses in Exodus that command the Sabbath are to the Israelites and not to the whole world. God did not deliver the gentiles from Egypt. He did not bring them to Mount Sinai. He did not establish a covenant with the gentiles. It does include foreigners living in their cities. This is to prevent the Israelites from getting their work done on an extra day through foreigners and slaves - but more importantly that these foreigners and slaves should also rest. To reiterate: this is not a command for the whole world. It is included with the mosaic covenant with the children of Israel. There exists only two commandments for the bride of Christ. But first, let’s make a distinction between the church and the children of Israel. The Abrahamic promise is different from the mosaic covenant that was made with the children of Israel. Abraham’s promise is that of a son - specifically Isaac, and that all the people’s of the world would be blessed through Abraham - This is the Messianic promise. It is received by faith. “Abraham believed God and it was counted as righteousness.” Jesus is that messiah and his life and death fulfill and close the Old Covenant that was strictly for the children of Israel. The church made up of jews and gentiles have a new covenant of grace and new commands of “Love” The prophet Jeremiah records that the covenants will change: Jeremiah 31: 31-33 31 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. 32 It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord. 33 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time,” declares the Lord. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts.

Praying for you, Scott. Yet, even though others can intercede, this is something between you and the Lord. The victory often comes through prayer, seeking, and submitting directly. May the Lord help you, He is worthy!

Is this all you can say about the book - you didn't get anything good from it?

We Christians must have the desernment to avoid arguing over trivia. Do you think God cares WHICH day is the 7th or rather, that we keep the sabbath as God intended? Christians need the assistance of the Holy Spirit to know what are SIGNIFICANT errors that can cost us our salvation. Do you honestly believe a Christian's salvation is in jeopardy because he believes (and practices) Sunday as the sabbath rather than Saturday?

Hello Adelin. Thank you for asking the question. It seems clear that the Hebrews held Saturday as the Sabbath, and obviously Christians consider Sunday the Sabbath. I don't that there's necessarily a right Sabbath though, at least in such a way that the Lord is displeased if we don't have the "right" one. I say this based on Romans 14:5: "One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind." So, whatever your local church does, I'd advise you to participate in their practice, provided they truly love and worship the Lord.

Saturday

@@Christianmanila The Roman Catholic church change Sabbath (Saturday) to sunday, which they worship idols and the sun worship. Leviticus 26:1-3, 1. You shall not make idols for yourselves; neither a carved image nor a sacred pillar shall you rear up for yourselves; nor shall you set up an engraved stone in your land, to bow down to; for I Am The LORD your God. 2. You SHALL keep My Sabbaths and reverence My sanctuary: I Am The Lord. 3. If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments, and perform them, then I will give you rain in its season, the land shall yield it's produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. (NKJV)

Jeremiah Zeiset ... why would you say it doesn’t matter which day? There is only 1 day that God chose, only 1 day that He separated, sanctified & made Holy! His Sabbath day is from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday! This is the time & day if one what’s to honor & keep Gods true Sabbath day, the 7th day! “ REMEMBER” the Sabbath day means just that.. remember “GODS SABBATH DAY” not pick your Sabbath day.. thousands were tortured and killed by the RCC for not changing from the true Sabbath day to Sunday, now sir these are facts written in history books.. There is only ONE true Sabbath day, and it’s the day God rested from all His works- the 7th day ( Gods days started at sunset till sunset)

Adleen Pajanostan ..hello, There is only 1 day that God chose, only 1 day that He separated, sanctified & made Holy! His Sabbath day is from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday! This is the time & day if one what’s to honor & keep Gods true Sabbath day, the 7th day! It’s the day that He rested from all His works and that He saw was good! The 4th commandment says “REMEMBER” the Sabbath day means that we are to remember “GODS SABBATH DAY” not pick our own Sabbath day.. thousands were tortured and killed by the RCC in the dark ages for not changing from the true Sabbath day to Sunday, these are facts written in history books.. There is only ONE true Sabbath day, and it’s the day God rested from all His works- the 7th day ( Gods days started at sunset till sunset) There are free books on this subject you can get from the United Church of God. My favorite is called “The New Covenant”.. please keep seeking the truth because we are to keep All of Gods Laws, the 10 commandments. “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened” ( Matt.7:7-8) Blessings in Christ

You know, I don't think it's a formula for life. But, it is true. That's what matters in the end, right?

@@jeremiahzeiset Im a Christian. I meant to say ot is so much more - and demands more (in a way) - than just a wise formula for life. But seeing my comment I can imagine that wouldnt be very clear. Thanks for the reply. And I agree.

@@ibperson7765 Amen, it is so much more! Thank you for explaining where you are at. And you know, it is a formula for life too, in a way. The principles of God work. Blessings.

@@jeremiahzeiset Yes. And it’s a very long story but that’s something I needed to hear, right now in fact. ✝️👍🏻🙏🏻

The meaning if Sabbath is rest for God.

aslong as u leave one day a week aside, does it matter what day? Saturday...means saturns day and celebrating saturnalia. I have also been thinking on this alot..what day, and what to do

@@lornaskelly9861 The Bible is clear on this. Genesis chapter 2 states the origin of the Sabbath. The Sabbath is God's signature of creation just as an artist would do after completing a piece of art work. The Bible says that the Sabbath is a sign between God and his people. The Roman Catholic church has taken the praise of organising the change of the Sabbath day from the Seventh day SATURDAY to the First day of the week, SUNDAY. The intelligent question asked by people of intelligence is this, "can man change the law of God?" How can they do this? This book has been honest in thoughts and content Except with the day God chooses to be the Sabbath. Anyone who does secular work on Sunday, thinking it to be the Sabbath, will not have desecrated the Sabbath of the living God. Read the seventh day as the Sabbath in this book and you will be well informed. So replace, Saturday for Sunday and you will be on the right road. May you be blessed by the love of God through the Truth of His word.

@@lornaskelly9861 Yes it matters which day. If not, God would not have said "THE" Sabbath. Regarding Saturn's day and saturnalia. This is just a silly comment. Everyone knows the days were named thousands of years after Jesus created the world and everything in it.

So what? It is the commandment to the Sabbath practice that matters. Does scripture identify which day is the 7th....Saturday or Sunday. It is in the insignificant, silly debates that Satan can get us. Satan: Let me cause Christians to quarrel with each other over insignificant. Let me appeal to the nature of man that desires to know everything and argue over anything. The whole point of the Sabbath is to SET ASIDE one day to suspend all labor and worship God.

Please explain?

@@Kimberly1Lily Mark 2:27. "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath". It was meant as a blessing and not as a burden.

@@BeverlyM52 Thanks for the Scripture! The Sabbath is never a burden for me, of course if someone needed my help on the Sabbath I would never deny them. Thanks again!!!

@@Kimberly1Lily You're more than welcome, Kimberly. That's what Jesus meant, I believe. He was being verbally accosted by Synagog "leaders" for healing someone, so He set them straight. ;). God bless!

Sorry, although he was wrong about the day, Sabbath always being on Saturday he still shows the proper reverence to it.

The 4th commandment is broken by men only on the 7th day, and is the 'least' commandment of the 10. But the 'great' commandment is to love The LORD with all of your heart, all of your soul, all of your mind, and all of your strength every day...do you?

@Brillo Pad. I’m not some great theologian, but I will say that I’m just finishing just over two-years of reading and studying the Bible through- and after years of enjoying God’s Word, and I’ll say that the manner in which Moody takes each commandment and expands it out over the greatest-to-least possible interpretation of each one is exactly as Jesus taught, and this is indeed a major theme of the Bible. So, when Jesus was asked what the greatest commandment by the religious leaders who were trying to trap Him into denying the the commandments, He summarized commandments number 1-4 with Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and spirit- and the rest were summarized when He then said, “ and love your neighbor as yourself.” Among Jesus’ intentions was to jolt legalistic religious people out of their self-righteousness and exalting of themselves because, for instance, they had not committed adultery. He taught that if we have though adulterous thoughts; it is the same sin in the eyes of God as though we have done it. That’s what Jesus meant when He said He did not come to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it. Take care. 🦋

@@carrotstick1970 l love your reply, your explanation, n insight. Right to the point m truth.

There is so much packed in that word "repent." Truly being changed, no longer living for ourselves, but completely giving ourselves to the Lord.

@@jeremiahzeiset whatever

@@abiegreyvenstein5427 You're saying you don't care?

Don't you agree though that we really are in our hearts selfish and self-serving?

If you purposely break a commandment of God, how can you say you love Him? There is a difference between accidentally breaking a commandment and purposely doing so.

I'm not sure what you are saying. Are you saying you understand this book to be offering no hope to sinners? If so, I may be able to help. First, if someone says that once you sin, there is no hope of forgiveness, that would be wrong and unscriptural. But on the other hand, if someone says that once you are saved you don't even have to try to do what is right, that you can do whatever you want even if it is sinful, then that is an error too. According to scripture, we may indeed be forgiven of our sins. That is the hope of the gospel! But Jesus is also clear, and says _if you love me, keep my commandments._ His commandments aren't burdensome and produce good fruit. Obedience to Christ is good for us! That is also what this book says. I hope you understand.

Charlemagne did nothing in 600 - he wasn't even born till 747! Conspiracists - especially from the SDA - love to blame Constantine and the Roman Catholic Church for changing the sabbath from Saturday to Sunday when, in fact, the change from sabbath observance to Sunday worship began centuries before either existed. Although Constantine made Sunday the official Roman day of rest (in 321AD), doing so merely facilitated what was by then a widespread, centuries-old, majority Christian preference in the western Roman Empire for worshiping on Sundays. The earliest _clear_ reference to Sunday worship is found in the _Epistle of Barnabas_ (c.120), in which the writer says: “Your present sabbaths are not acceptable to Me… we keep the eighth day with joyfulness, the day also on which Jesus rose again from the dead”. Note the antisemitism already creeping into the church. Justin Martyr (c.140) wrote of “memoirs of the apostles” being read on “the day called that of the sun” alongside the “writings of the prophets” ( _First Apology_ 67). Many others also wrote of Christian worship on Sundays well before the 4th century; and of other Christians who continued to worship on Saturdays. FWIW, the modern Greek words for Friday, Saturday and Sunday are Παρασκευή (Paraskeuē), Σάββατο (Sábbato) and Κυριακή (Kyriakē), respectively, which shows clearly enough that the Greek church never thought the sabbath had been changed to Sunday. In the first century, παρασκευήν (paraskeuēn) was the Jewish name for Friday (preparation day).
