@Rams Fan stupid? How so? As it it doesn't make sense ... even though it is true? Does that sound logical? Is it that you think that the Christian church is just a judahized synagogue ... minus the sacrifices? Do you know the Bible?
@Rams Fan I see that you are against Jewish freemasonry ... and yet most churches will not speak against that. Is that part of my statement about the judahized lawyers controlling most churches today that you call stupid?
@Rams Fan you are living 2 or 3 different lies ... your RU-vid channel proves that you do NOT focus solely on Jesus. Are you hiding in homosexuality also? 👊
it wasnt up to the early church to "mark" sunday as the sabbath. we shoudlnt be following what man has "marked", we should be following what Yeshua has commanded and shown us to do
Jonah Sellers ... I don't know where he gets that anyway!! Where in the NT does it "mark" Sunday as The Lords Day?! The Lords Day is the Sabbath!! ( Matt.12:8) So strange how people want to change the Sabbath to Sunday or ANYDAY!!! God sanctified and made holy the 7th day!! It is HIS Sabbath day!! If they are Christians why don't they want to remember His Day & honor it??! I don't understand this!!
Jonah Sellers I’m pretty sure that God taught Adam and Eve the sabbath...and no, I don’t believe that they immediately sinned within their first week of creation...yeah, pretty sure they had the sabbath in practice for quite some time to where it actually became habit...God rested on the seventh day and probably spent all day in the presence of Adam and Eve 🤷♀️ they had it made
LVRider so you don’t have any type of logical thinking? If God rested on the 7th day and He walked in the garden with them, wouldn’t that mean they knew to rest as well on the 7th day? Or is it that God rested on the 7th day and taught them absolutely nothing about anything? They were ignorant and unknowing and that’s it because it wasn’t ever written in the Bible? Did ADam and Eve have bowel movements or did their poop waste miraculously disappear because it was written nowhere in the Bible that they ever took a dump? Don’t you think that God taught His creations beautiful things and that they had it MADE before they sinned? If so, then they must have known how to do amazing things - all of which we were not told about because it was actually irrelevant because they had it MADE! They had it so good that they never probably had to put anything to use except that they rested on the day that God rested.., God had to have taught them what it means to rest because that’s what He did and he told generations following in the 10 commandments to REMEMBER to keep the sabbath holy.,,they had to get that knowledge from somewhere..,🤷♀️ who do you think they got any know how from originally?...
And another thing, they probably knew how to do so many things, but because their eyes weren’t opened until they sinned against God they weren’t aware of what they had learned to do...it was what we call “second nature...” they were ashamed of things only because they had eaten from the tree of knowledge... they were naked all day but they didn’t KNOW that they were naked until they had sinned. Nothing they did as God’s creations were bad or shameful until they ate from that tree. For all we know they could have been taught to dig a deep enough hole to poop in, cover it up, and watch new trees form from it! They would have thought nothing of what they did because it wasn’t necessary to know anything more about it. God delighted in their works because they probably did everything that He taught them PERFECTLY. They were PERFECT until they disobeyed Him 😔 so everything they did was probably “GOLDEN “
Did you work the other 6 days? Do you wear fringed edges? Do you understand that the law, pointed to Christ and it was about him? Nearly every jot of the law is symbolic. The new testament church is told to walk in spirit which if you understand resting from works of the law unto salvation fully trusting Christ's finished work and resting in him. Jesus told us he was Lord of the Sabbath. We rest in Him spiritually and not in the letter of the law written on tablets of stone. "If you believed Moses you would believe me, because he wrote about me". Jesus proclaimed "It is finished" on the cross. He fulfilled the requirements of the law completely nullifying the death penalty that was on our head and died in our place. Like the bronze serpeant, look to Him and you will live! Praise our Lord and Saviour for what he has done!!
felicia Bosch man has been lied to in order to punish us and keep us separated from God. So now man has decided to be Like God just as the devil wants us to think we can be...that’s who man thinks he is...
Uncertainty 74 Roman’s 14:6 ...it’s sacred to the Lord...just because someone feels that other days are sacred doesn’t make the Lords day any less important...we must still keep the Sabbath holy 🙏

So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Glad to see the comments from so many that understand the Biblical Sabbath is Saturday. Now that we have come to the understanding that Yeshua did NOT change God's Word, we sooooooooooooooo love observing Sabbath! How anyone would call it legalistic or a burden is beyond me! It's a God-given vacation!! And we will observe the 7th day Sabbath in the Millennial Kingdom!
According to Colossians 2:16 you are NOT suppose to IMPOSE meat, drink, holy days, new moons OR sabbath days., which are shadows, and false humility. I celebrate Sabbath on Sundays. There is nothing wrong with it. If you want to celebrate Sabbath on Saturday, go ahead! But NEW Testament churches observe the sabbath on the LORD's day! the first day of the week, BECAUSE we put HIM first! ♥
@@KatAmanti Dear lady - You quote Col 2:16 without including vs 17. Note that Paul tells you that the ceremonial Sabbaths are at issue, such as the seven annual biblical festivals, _not the 7th Day Sabbath._ Why do we know that this is a fact? Because the passage specifically states that the "sabbaths", in question are *_SHADOWS._* What is meant here? Shadows are the same thing as "types" of the true and these were established because of the broken law - the 10 commandments. The 7th Day Sabbath was established BEFORE the breaking of the Law. Therefore, it cannot be a shadow. Man had not sinned at creation. The ceremonial laws - which have always been shadows, or "types" of the work of Christ were implemented after the 7th day Sabbath was instituted. Therefore, Col 2:16,17 cannot be referring to the 7th Day Sabbath.
@@treefellonya Hebrews 1:1 in these last days God speaks unto us by his Son! Christ is superior to the law and the prophets! He is mediator and our Redeemer and fulfilling all righteousness on our behalf! The gospel is ABOVE the law! New Testament Christians, and the apostles broke bread 🥖 on the first day of the week, which is Sunday! ❤ Sunday is also Resurrection day, and Pentecost was on Sunday! This is why Christians celebrate Resurrection Day on Sunday because that’s the example of the apostles! Those who impose on believers that we must worship on Saturday aren’t following the example of Acts 20:7, the New Testament believers met the 1st day of the week!Also, John 20:1, 20:19, 20:26 (eighth day = first day)… and Pentecost was also on Sunday because it fell on the 50th day ( Penta: meaning 50 days) after the Jewish sabbath.,, The disciples kept Sunday to meet! Then in Acts 15:24 it says we gave no such commandment! No commandment in the NT regarding Sabbath to be on Saturday! There are no commands in the NT to meet on Sunday, either, but there are several examples of NT believers getting together on Sunday because of Resurrection Sunday and Pentecost Sunday! Also Romans 14:5 and Titus 3:9,10! Believers should not judge other believers meats, drinks, holy days, new moons or sabbath days. We should avoid contentions about the law! And also Colossians 2:16 let no man judge you or IMPOSE the sabbath days! WHERE in the NT does it say the apostles broke bread and fellowshipped on Saturday!!??? It doesn't! In fact, the new believers were excommunicated from the synagogue and even worse! Remember Stephen our 1st martyr, and before Saul's conversion he was arresting and taking women and children from their homes and throwing them in prison for believing in Jesus. To be clear: Jesus arose on Sunday, He appeared to them in the upper room on Sunday, He breathed on them and said receive ye the Holy Spirit, on Sunday. He ate bread and fish with them on a Sunday. Pentecost was on Sunday. Peter preached his first NT sermon on Sunday. Three thousand souls, were saved, baptized, and filled with the Holy Spirit on Sunday. AND there is NO place in the NEW Testament that says they assembled on the sabbath, to worship, they always assembled on the 1st day of the week. (Matt. 28:1-7; Mark 16:2, 9; Luke 24:1; John 20:1). (John 20:19) also Acts 20:9 and also 1 Corinthians 16:2! The Sabbath is gone. The New Covenant has a NEW Day! Jesus arose on Resurrection Sunday. NT Christians put God first so we celebrate 🎉 and worship on the first day of the week, which is Sunday! We should never argue about the law ❤Including meats, Drinks, Holy days, New moons and Sabbath days. It’s so sad 😞 that many base their salvation on a particular day! And then judge and impose their beliefs on those who follow New Testament examples ❤ The Apostles celebrated on Sunday! They broke bread 🥖 and worshipped together on Sunday which is the LORDS DAY! ❤For the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has made me FREE from the Law of Sin and Death. This is long, I know, but I have family and friends, who are trying to keep the oldness of the letter by practicing Saturday Sabbaths. It's a false doctrine. Celebrate Jesus ♥ Celebrate Resurrection on a Sunday! ♥
@Bok Choy Are you trying to say we're judaizers? Following Torah, God's Instructions for His family, and what you have named "Levitical law", is what you do AFTER you get saved by faith and grace, as a response to God's goodness. Your neighbor's kid doesn't become part of your family by following your household rules. And by the same token neither did your kids. They were born into the family. And your kids don't get kicked out for not following them. Are you also going to quote that Yeshua "fulfilled" the law and mean that He actually abolished the Torah? Which part of Torah has been done away with? Do away with Torah and you do away with the definition of sin. Have you not read the NT? "Lawlessness" equals Torahlessness. No sin, no need for a savior. Want to go down that road? The judaizers were trying to convert gentiles to rabbinical Judaism to "become saved." But rabbinical Judaism is not Biblical, and following traditions of the rabbis doesn't get you saved.
@@KatAmanti Wow! You've studied under those antisemitic church fathers and current teachers well! I'll have to get back to you on the computer and not my phone. There's so much to respond to. Sorry sister but you are sorely sorely misinformed. As we all have been. You've given all the gentile excuses of why NOT to follow the actual Text of the Bible. God's word never changes. Yeshua is the Torah. The NT is not above the OT. The sanctity of the Shabbat was never transferred to Sunday. There was already a feast of Yehovah to commemorate the Resurrection and Pentecost, which is by the way from the Hebrew Scriptures. We will celebrate Sabbaths, new moons, and the Feasts of the LORD in the Millennial Kingdom, see Isaiah 66 and zechariah 14. And the Colossians and Galatians verses you quoted about observing the days actually mean the opposite of what you are trying to make them mean. You ARE putting someone down because I am observing God's Holy Days they He instructed us too.
This is exactly where I am at. ✔️🤷♀️ It's painfully obvious, and so sad that it's not being preached on and taught by well meaning and good Bible teachers.
So let me get this straight... before Messiah came the Sabbath was to be observed on the seventh day but now that He has come we don't have to observe it, or we can make it into whatever WE want it to be but when He comes again we will be observing it once again (Isa 66:23)... Where's the logic in this? If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination. (Proverbs 28:9)
White Page 10 commandments and Mosaic law are not one and the same. One was written by the finger of God, the other penned by man. One was inside the arc of the covenant, the other on the outside
Is the Bible the Word of God or the word of Moses who was a disciple of God? I will not argue, it's what the Bible is for you, is every word truly holy. I met people who celebrated the Sabbath for God, and others who did not do it, also for God. In both cases, you can see growing in holiness, even if the Sabbath is as a day, not the rest of God who has rested in his Son, it is not forever, after the Millennial reign of the Lamb, after 1000y Kingdom, everything will be new.
Jesus resurrection followed the Sabbath. Even Revelation talks about the Sabbath . Early Christians followed the Sabbath . The Catholic church changed it for paganism reasons.
History says that long before the foundation of Church of Rome, there were Christians celebrating the Sabbath on other days. They did not call one another heretics. Revelation also speaks of the return of the sacrificial system. I celebrate the Sabbath on saturday, greetings.
The disciples were caught breaking Moses' Holy Sabbath day commandment law ... by picking and eating food on the Holy Sabbath day. Jesus defended His disciples for breaking the Holy Sabbath day commandment law by reminding the Pharisees of how David broke the levitical priesthood law by eating the shew bread in the temple. So does that mean that 2 wrongs make a right? Not at all! In the same way that Moses suffered the hard hearted jew to put away their wives (which was not so from the beginning) ... Moses also suffered the stiffnecked jew to kill those that broke the Holy Sabbath day commandment law ... as well as kill an adulterer. The hated Dan will judge all of Israel in the last days ... like it or not. Genesis 49.
Early Christians gathered on the first day of the week. It is NOT the roman catholic church that changed it. That is an old false story. Yes, they are pagan and might do it for paganism reasons, but they did not change it for the rest of the world. The disciples did it in the new Testament.
If the seventh day is God's Sabbath,(Ex.20:10) And God Never changes,(Mal.3:6) Who's sabbath are you keeping? And how can you keep a day Holy that God NEVER made Holy?(Gen.2:3) Sanctified, =set apart, made holy.
Karolyn Ealy, Christian is under the Lord of the Sabbath, his resurrection day, the Lord's day, Sunday we worship and honor Him. You are under the new but not under the old covenant (Heb8:13).
God gave the Law to Moses for guiding the children of Israel. He didn’t give it to Adam, Noah, or even Abraham. He gave it to the Hebrews, the nation of Israel. Today however, God’s people are known as Christians (Acts 11:26) - those who are of Christ, His Son. We are not Hebrews, or Jewish, nor Israelites. Therefore, we are not obligated or subject to that law - their law - in any way. The Old Testament (Covenant) was given specifically for them. Why then, would anyone want to use and apply things from that old law, such as tithing, or priestly clothing, or anything else that is not commanded of the Christian?
Karolyn Ealy you quoted Mal3:6 but misinterpreted the verse. God never changes His character or His promises BUT He changes His Old Covenant into a New Covenant with His Church, the Body of Christ. So your notion is absolutely false. Secondly, at the time when God gave His Sabbath command to WHOM God was talking to?; Please read; (Exo 35:1) And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the LORD hath commanded, that ye should do them. (Exo 35:2) Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death. NOTE it was explicitly stated "Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together". Are you the children of Israel? Which tribes you belong to? Please study your bible properly and don't simply and blindly follow as the Sabbath command was never, never given to the Gentiles period. Further it is an abomination to God because He gave you His wisdom but you just lay it aside and follow preachers blindly.
Now that we have the first part of the commandment accomplished, "Remember the Sabbath Day," let's keep the rest of it, "to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor 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, nor 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."
the sabbath is a larger commandment than you stated with many sub commandments. no christians keep the jewish sabbath, nor are they obligated to keep the ten commandments. gentiles do not have the law they are a law unto themselves it says in Corinthians
Mark Araos. Certainnly Christian know that. Christian is under the Lord of the Sabbath, his resurrection day, the Lord's day, Sunday we worship and honor Him. You are under the new but not under the old covenant (Heb8:13).
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

Co 16:1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. 1Co 16:2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

(Joh 20:19) Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. These practices were not introduced by the Catholics but in the Apostolic era and not by the papacy. Christians worshipped on the Lord's day the resurrection day of Christ, Sunday in honor and in remembrance of Jesus.
I listen to hundred of sun-day preachers and they all have different version for not keeping Sabbath. They try to twist some text alittle bit, misinterpret like the devil did to Jesus or take out of context. Some try to preach the whole ten commandments and they all stumble on the fourth commandment. It never comes out smooth. Some time it makes me chuckle. when they try to put a spin on it. I know the devil hate the fourth commandments. He seems to work on that the most. It should be the easiest to keep. What do man care what day is the Sabbath? God said, the seventh-day. Lets keep it.
I don't like to just hit someone over the head with a bible and say here it is. I will try to explain it my way from the bible. I like to start with God, the Son, the Holy Spirit. They are one. We may not fully grasp everything God reveals about Himself, but nevertheless, our inabilities doesn’t limit the truth of who He is.
First all, you have to believe the whole bible. You can't pick a text and a text there and skip some. I want to just talk about God. How do we know God? Jesus, says John 14: 7 "If you really know me, you will know my Father as well...."
@@TatureBud lol..only the stranger that is visiting the Israel. They had to comply to the law if they wished to stay. So buddy are you going to make a case that gentile nations were Sabbath keeping as well?
THE...is a definite article used in the English language. It does not state in God's commandment "a" Sabbath day. Plain English tells us that it is not a indefinite article here and God has a particular day of the week as sabbath. The 4th Commandment is still as abiding to us as it has been since creation in the Garden of Eden. The first generation Christians kept the sabbath with Christ without the immense exactions the Pharisees and Sadducees had laid upon it. Man was to never suffer because of the Sabbath and never was to be more important than human compassion and needs of people. Jesus healed on the Sabbath and met peoples needs on the Sabbath. And Jesus stated that he was "Lord of the Sabbath Day" (The Lord's day) Matt.12:8 And that "the Sabbath was made for man" ("Mark 2:27-28) Amazing how some say the Sabbath day is of no importance and can chose as we wish which day. Then they make all kinds of points as why the first day should be kept as a Sabbath day with no Biblical authority or outright command in it to make it holy. When God only can make things holy. Keep holy the Sabbath day is what the Scriptures teach. An institution of man's making does not supercede God's Word ! And just because there were a couple of meetings on the 1st day of the week does not make it holy ! 2nd generations kept the true Sabbath also as Paul led them. (Acts 16:13, Acts 13:42-44) The Gentile church kept the true Sabbath as Paul led it !
William N Exodus 20:8 speaks to the day in creation where CHRIST Rest was enjoyed by Adam until paradise lost. Why else would remembering be necessary in a written law. Witness to this truth is verse 10 lacking the definite artical "the seventh is a sabbath of the LORD" the word is "Rest" in this context and has no definition of being a day. If it did "but the seventh day" wouldn't be necessary before "a sabbath". Simple Hebrew grammar. Could you give me the proof text of sabbath since creation? Book, chapter and verse please. I'm not finding "sabbath" for the first 2500 years until sabbath is commanded in Exodus 16:23. The word shabath means ceased in Gen. 2:1,2. What bible are you reading?
I KEEP TELLING PEOPLE THIS. HE SET THE CYCLE OF SIX DAYS IN PLACE AND THE SEVENTH DAY WAS REST.THE SABBATH DAY IS SPECIFIC. A SABBATH DAY MEANS YOU CAN CHOOSE WHICH ONE YOU WANT.WHEN YOU GO TO THE BIBLE TO SUPPORT YOUR FILTH RATHER THAN TO SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH YOU BLIND YOUR SELF BEFORE YOU EVEN START HENCE THEY DID NOT SEE THIS.
Jewish Christians observed the Sabbath in the Book of Acts. In a period of transition, many of the Jews did not free themselves immediately from the Law. It was mentioned earlier that the conference in Acts 15 dealt with this very matter. Some Jewish converts were insisting that the Gentile converts had to submit to certain provisions of the Law, such as circumcision. But the apostles quickly showed that God had released men from the Law. "Now therefore why do you put God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?" (Acts 15:10).
All commands of the Decalogue are repeated in the New Testament, as was mentioned earlier, except for the fourth command concerning the Sabbath. The first commandment is referenced some 50 times either by direct statement or by inference; the second, 12 times; the third, 4 times; the fourth, none; the fifth, 6 times; the sixth, 6 times; the seventh, 12 times; the eighth, 6 times; the ninth, 4 times; and the tenth, 9 times. Does it not seem odd that if God wanted Christians to observe the Sabbath, he would have communicated that to the early church in some manner? Yes, the Sabbath is mentioned many times, but not once are Christians commanded to observe it. Yet, in the Old Testament there are many ways in which God expressed his desire for the Jews to keep this day.
this guy just said six days shalt thou labor and rest on sunday, can someone please show me where in the bible this is written. if you can i will pay you handsomely
Exodus 20:8-10 says “but the seventh day is the sabbath of the lord thy god.” Text never said SUNDAY. Sunday is the first day of the week anyway, and the only reason the ppl celebrate the sabbath on Sunday is because the Catholic Church, (church of satan) changed it to Sunday.
God rested on the seventh day. He specified Sabbath. He didn't just say keep one day out of the week as a Sabbath. He specified the Sabbath which is the seventh day of the week.

@@milkthenmeat ; I say there is a difference between Jew an Gentile in terms of their old covenant with God. He ONLY made the old covenant (Old or Mosaic covenant) with the children of Israel as God too make the new covenant with his Church in the new covenant. In that biblical sense, there is a difference in their covenantal relationship with God between the Jew and Gentile. So the church (Jew & Gentiles) do not follow the Old or Mosaic covenant in the law of Moses which contained the ten commandments with its Sabbath law. So in the new covenant there is no difference between Jew and Gentile as they are one united in the body of Christ, the Church. Rom 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. ..In answering your question, NO the Jew and Gentile of the NEW covenant are not required to follow the ten commandments of the OLD covenant.
Saturday is the sabbath day! There is nothing in scripture that indicates it was changed. The Catholic Church changed it to Sunday and even say so! It's our mark of authority they say! Look it up you'll see for yourself. God bless you all
Sunday was never made the Sabbath. No man can just change the Sabbath. To say seventh day Shabbat worshippers are doing something wrong is not Biblical. I usually agree with most things he says and accept his teaching but that isn't Biblical. Religion vs. God's Word. Tradition vs Scripture
The are changes within the sabbath command. Compare the sabbath commandment of Ex 16:22-30 to Ex. 20:8. The information is different, but the commands involved in Ex. 16:22-30 (rest and no work v23, stay where you are v29b) are applicable to keep the sabbath holy as commanded in 20:8. In Ex 20:8, new information is added, as the Israelites were to "Remember the sabbath day and keep it holy" this is referring to Ex. 16:22-29. God gives a comparisonative reason to "work six day and rest on the seventh". This is modelled after God's six day's of creation work and ceasing on the seventh. Now compare these two sabbath commands (Ex. 16:22-29 & Ex. 20:8) to Deut 5:12-15 and you'll see a third change. God's work of creation has been omitted and replaced with God's work of delivering the Iraelites from Egyptian slavery. Then in Colossians 2:16 we have this seventh day sabbath rest being regarded as a shadow with Jesus Christ being the substance and reality of the sabbath-shadow....the 4th change! The sabbath that was kept had Israel redemption as the memorial (Deut 5:15a, 15b). This forshadowed the redemptional rest in Jesus Christ (the reality) from sin, death and have no been 'drawn near' to God. The sabbath of 'time' rest has changed to the person Jesus Christ. The 7th day sabbath-shadow is old testament/covenant, but for christian's this is reflected in Jesus Christ.
John Piper uses Rom 14:5 for his reason for him not having to keep the seventh day Sabbath holy, he may have quoted the wrong scripture :) In the NJKV it doesn't mention the Sabbath at all in the passage. But it does mention the word EAT 5 times in the immediate verses above and 3 times in the verses below. I believe from the context it is probably talking about fasting or not fasting. Rom 14:5 One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. Rom 14:6 He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. HE WHO EATS, EATS TO THE LORD, for he gives God thanks; and HE WHO DOES NOT EAT, TO THE LORD HE DOES NOT EAT, and gives God thanks.

Ouch, he skipped over what day is true because that's the day the early church marked the day... I'm not going by what the church changed I'm going by what the Bible says and the commandment of God says REMEMBER the Sabbath day and keep it holy. Even Jesus kept by staying asleep in his tomb.
April Mccreary going by what the Bible says is the right thing. You sound like a saint. "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus." (Rev 14:12, KJV)
@April Mccreary Yes, and when speaking of the desolation of the Temple, and Jerusalem, He told His followers to pray their flight would not be in the winter or on the Sabbath. He wanted them to still be resting on that day, a day after He had left.
Piper said the the early church chanced the sabbath to Sunday as the Lords day. My question is how can any human hand change the holy scripture? Revelation tells us not to add or delete anything from the bible. I don't see anything in the bible that would confirm Sunday as the seventh day. I go to church on Sunday, but I keep Saturday holy. The fourth commandment starts of by saying remember the sabbath day and keep it holy. Why would it start off with a reminder? The sabbath points to God as our creator. He made it holy for us. We are to give glory to God by taking that day to rest and give thanks for all he is and has done for us. It's a time to gather with friends, family, relax, serve, and enjoy Jesus' presence. Although we can do all of that any other day as well, the sabbath was set apart as holy. I do agree that love should be the base for us in the faith in regards to different point of views. Love should overtake all doctrine and traditions. Paul talked about that principle.
Julia F Don't follow the crowd, follow the teaching of the bible, and you will be safe. Continue to witness on the Sabbath. You know Noah preach for 120 years. I wish to hear the last sermon Noah preached before he enter the Ark. Same thing will happen again the bible says Matt: 7:13 "for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able..."
Julia F Biblical truth is not determined by majority vote. To treat the creation account of Genesis 1-2 as a mythological story means to ultimately reduce much of the Bible to an unbelievable myth, because the Biblical proof for the doctrine of creation is found not exclusively in Genesis 1-2, but extensively throughout the Bible.
You must not go to church on Sunday with the people that do not keep GOD HOLY SABBATH. Those people are in darkness and you must come out from among them and be ye HOLY.
We do not choose any day for the Sabbath that is disobedience we obey the Commandments of God He said Remember to keep it Holy the Sabbath Day 7 th Day.
I Made this comment a year ago and I was wrong, Sunday is under the new law Jesus was resurrected on a Sunday so that is our new day of worship for him. I didn't understand before why Christians in the church gather on Sunday but I understand now. This comment was not correct Jesus did rest in his tomb on the sabbath but he resurrected on Sunday. So I believe Sunday is under the new law | V Luke 23:54 It was Friday, and the sabbath was about to begin. Luke 23:56 then they went back home and prepared the spices and perfumes for the body. On the Sabbath they rested, as the Law commanded. 24:1 very early on SUNDAY morning the women went to the tomb, carrying the spices they had prepared. They rested on the sabbath and got up on Sunday and did work.
@@natzedw2112 Luke was written decades after Christ died. The best estimates place the date of writing at around 70 (AD/CE). The correct term for the author would be "Jesus follower" or "early Christian". That's fact, and the term applies to the very earliest followers he wrote of, too. It was around the 4th century that the church fathers started wanting to distinguish themselves from the Jews by arguing against the Saturday Sabbath. Most church historians consider this move part of the beginning of institutionalized anti-Semitism in Christianity, which Luther's later writings took to the extreme. Additionally, until the 1950s or 60s (I forget the exact date) the Catholic church used to fast (eat fish instead of meat) on a Friday, in recognition of the importance of the Sabbath starting Friday evening and culminating Sunday, the day of the resurrection. So, it's up to you what you do, but I urge you to think *and* pray *and* read before having firm opinions.
it's not about refreshing ourselves, it's a day to spend with God and family because it is a preparation for the eternal one. the 7th day was made holy , this day is Saturday. it doesn't say anywhere that the Sabbath was changed. Paul was strengthening his followers who wanted to be obedient to Adonai Elohim.
Absolutely, take a nice nap on Sunday, but observe the Sabbath on Saturday. It's the fourth commandment for a reason, because you may not understand it, doesn't mean you should skip it.
As per Christianity Saturday is a Sabbath day because it's mentioned in the Bible Genesis 2:2 (KJV) 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. Amen 🙏🏻❤️✝️
It was instituted through Moses and was a covenant sign between God and ethnic Israel. We are under the new covenant and Jesus is the true sabbath in whom we have rest both now and ultimately at the consummation.
@@elusive4072 well as i learnt recently in my Bible Studies brother, the salvation plan hasnt been completed until now, hence there's no rest & as the scriptures state, "And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath. But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.” Amen 🙏🏻❤️✝️ John 5:16-17 (ESV)
I love and respect Mr. Piper immensely. I esteem him as one of the great theologians of the day. His teaching is spot on, however, I feel, with this one and only exception. I think it's time for the church to ask the congregations in a secret ballot, if they would rather "keep the Sabbath, or worship on The Lord's day" [that is a fairly framed question]. SAY NOTHING ELSE TO THEM, except 'to take that simple question to their Bible' and in, say 6 weeks or 6 months, submit their response AUTONOMOUSLY. Will there be splits? You better believe it. For that I am painfully sorry, but Jesus told us to keep his commands. "For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until EVERYTHING is accomplished." Matthew 5:18. The cross was by far the greatest of His accomplishments, but far from His last. Jesus would not have made such a bold, strong, all encompassing REQUIREMENT when he knew His day of finishing the work of salvation was close at hand. Inconvenient, yes. But were we called to convenience; to brush aside and rationalize away one of the first four most weighty of His commands? How much do you love Jesus?
The fact is, Jesus brought all of the laws from the Ten Commandments over into His new covenant, except one - keeping the Sabbath. Christians are not permitted to kill, to steal, to commit adultery, or to covet just as the Ten Commandments say. We must still worship God and only Him and we must still honor our parents. However, a Christian’s obedience must come from the heart, “You shall love the lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ this is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: ‘you shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ there is no other commandment greater than these.” (Mark 12:30,31). Christians are not under the Ten Commandments, a part of that Old Law. We are under the Law of Christ.
@@kac0404 I want to learn, so please explain me, does the law of Christ make us free to not obey any commandment? If we are under the law of Christ, we still need to obey all 9 commamends, but not the 4-th, did I get this right?
Shame Shame Shame Google "Cannon 28 Sabbath" Get informed and ask yourself: Who is your God? Man or the Creator. The go read your Bible from the beginning. Remember God will not keep you from NOT doing His will. But if you want to show you love Him... Do His will.
@@joecitizen6755 Hi Joe. I TRY to, and aspire to keep all of God's laws (torah) that pertain to me. For His commandments are Deut30:11 not too difficult for me, and it is not beyond my reach. What makes it difficult is training myself to unlearn what the world has taught me. The law is also the easiest way I know to live Spiritually, for it is spiritual. Rom7:14, without the risk of going of on some false spiritual tangent. I hope this answers your question.

@@joecitizen6755 Sabbath is for man and not man for sabbath. Just like traffic rules are for man, and not man for traffic rules. But yes. As far as possible we aspire to keep the instructions regarding Sabbath. And what a glorious day. I do not submit to man made "spiritual laws", like the Talmud. The Torah is good and enough. Also man is not my God. God is my God. At least I try to let that always be true. But I get the better of me sometimes. Unfortunately. But then He allows me to repent and try again. What does it say of a person if what his God instructs is too much to ask?
Jesus died on a Friday, rested on the Saturday (Sabbath) and resurrected on the Sunday. Com on brothers and sisters! Come on! Even He rested on the Saturday! We need to keep the Sabbath (Saturday) as a Holy day because in Matthew 5:17 Jesus tell us that He didn't came to change a single thing of the law. The Sabbath was set for us, people say we don't need to obbey all the fourth commandment but why do they obbey all the other nine ones? I love all my brothers in Christ but let no one tell you not to follow what was said in the 10 commandments. And I gave them my statutes, and shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them. Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them. But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them. Ezekiel 20:11-13 KJV
Sabbath law is eternal and Sabbath proceeds creation. God does not change neither did his laws change. The Babylonians changed the worship from Saturday to Sunday.
@@zakariahlafreniere1332 Paul was coerced into shaving his head to show that his "teachings were nothing" ... it was James that was behind the coercion ... the same James that ... along with other jew ... caused Peter to run away from his supper with the gentiles ... and Paul later "withstood him to his face" about his little faithless act. Act 21:24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, ARE NOTHING; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law. James was a judahized lawyer.
JESUS resurrected on Sunday, crushing the heads of all pagons and demons. After JESUS resurrected on Sunday, no pagons and principalities associated can stand , Sunday is most Holy Day because JESUS resurrected.
Sanghmitra Rao Sunday is the LORD'S day. The first day of HIS new creation confirming HIS everlasting Covenant with the sure merces of David. ISA 55:3 Acts 12:34
Joe Citizen Paul never shaved his head. Pray for discernment son. Paul took no nazarite vow the young men he took were already in a vow and were going to end it. The water purification is before the head is shaved on the seventh day and the eight day two doves are offered. The Jews stopped Paul before the seventh day was completed and ran out of the Temple by force. Knowing Paul he was going to use the men under the vow to give him opportunity to preach the Gospel in the Temple to the Jews. James is an appeaser not a Judaizer. The people were stuck in their traditions. Plus a nazarite vow is a fast not a law but if you enter a vow with GOD you better take it seriously. The strict water purification was because most vows were broken because of contact with a dead body.

1 SUNDAY, 2 MONDAY, 3 Tuesday, 4 Wednesday, 5 Thursday, 6 Friday “7 SATURDAY!!!” Keep the sabbath day holy and remember it!!! Not change it or make compromises. Someone please pray for this man before he leads others astray!!!
You break one commandment you break them all. There is a reason why God said REMEMBER to keep the Sabbath day Holy. The Sabbath day is the Lord's day, and that he sanctified it. Nowhere in scripture has it ever been changed, so let no man change it. These pastors know that the Sabbath is the true day of worship, but refuse to keep it Holy, because it'll hurt them financially. Money is more important to them, then God's commandments.
That's wrong. I have only been a Christian for about almost a year now, and I have began studying the Bible last January of this year. I have read to Psalms, and now I am also studying the New Testament and I just finished John. I have also studied and done some homework/research regarding Sabbath. The Sabbath day is Biblical and is in the 10 Commandments, and it's not looking like it's just for the Jews. It's actually a day that The Lord sanctified. And the Bible tells me that it is to be kept Holy, and so we are, according to the Bible and based on my study of it, supposed to be keeping it.
One of the things i love about the Bible is that it gives genuine seekers of truth the tools to spot deceivers like John Piper, no matter how well they package their con with scholarly or philosophical-sounding rhetoric. Living by God's commandments, especially the Sabbath, is _not_ a matter of conscience. That's why it was written in stone by the very hand of the Maker!
God said to work for 6 days and to rest on the seventh. NOT whatever day you choose. It was Saturday. So I don’t understand why we are consulting men for what God has already made it clear to us. God said it would be a covenant for all generations!
God says to keep the SABBATH day holy period there's no discussion about it we don't question God's commandments who are we to question God's commandments unless you have a different God or different Bible????

For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill.

Jesus came to fulfill the law not change it. He also observed the Sabbath. The women who attended his body observed the Sabbath, then on Sunday came into his empty tomb. Yes, Jesus Rose on Sunday. Jesus rose one day after the Sabbath. Jesus also stated that not one jot or tittle would be changed of the law until its fulfilled.
yes I agree the 'day of the LORD' is referred to all through the whole bible as a reference to the events of the second coming, but the Sabbath is also known as the 'LORD's day' or the 'day of the LORD'. Isa_58:13 "If you turn away your foot from ( doing your own pleasure on) the SABBATH, From doing your pleasure on My holy day, And call the Sabbath a delight, THE HOLY DAY OF THE LORD honorable, And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, Nor finding your own pleasure, Nor speaking your own words"
“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. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.” Colossians 2:16-17
Exactly, That verse is not an excuse to break the 7th day Sabbath. Beloved please listen carefully There are two other ways to interpret this verse and neither one is breaking the Holiness of the Sabbath 7th day of the week: One is that this people were judge exactly for keeping all those commandments and Paul encouraged them because all those commandments were a shadow of Christ. The second one is that there is a huge difference between the 7th day of creation Sabbath and it Holiness and the ceremonial sabbaths that pointed to Christ. The problem many Sunday keepers have if that they do not see the difference between Gods eternal law ( ten commandments) and the book of the law written by Moses so they used Jesus as excuses to break the ten commandments. There were many ceremonial sabbaths but they were all different meaning those ceremonial sabbaths could fall on a Tuesday or Thursday or any other day of the week. In other words Paul maybe stating to not let other people judge you if you by believing in Jesus has stop not only the animal sacrifices ( book of the law) but also to practice of the the ceremonial sabbaths ( book of the law) Finally neither of these other interpretations gives a disciple of Jesus the right to break the 4th commandments by not keeping " The Sabbath " 7th day of the week holy.

@SKLumba Remember Jesus is both divine and human in nature. As a man, then, the Son “increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man” (Luke 2:52). And like any human being after the fall, he became hungry (Matt. 4:2), grew tired (John 4:6), felt distress (Matt. 26:38), and, yes, was amazed at what he learned (Matt. 8:10; Luke 7:9; Mark 6:6; cf. Luke 2:46). Jesus could only have experienced such changes in his human nature. By seeing the genuine limitations and temporal changes in Jesus’s human nature, albeit with no limitations or changes in his divine identity, we can further see that when he says he didn’t know the timing of his return, the eternal Son of God was speaking with a human mouth, out of a human soul, with limited knowledge as a man, in perfect submission to his Father’s salvation plan.
No, the early Christians kept The Lord's Sabbath. This is clearly documented. It only changed when the emperor Constantine changed The Sabbath to Sunday. He issued that as a new law. He called that The Venerable Day of The Sun. Which was the day that the pagans worshiped the sun goddess Mithra. *I am prayerfully studying this, and must add that the facts I noted here concern me greatly. Also important to note is that this change is well after Paul wrote the scripture you referenced here. Thank you. I look forward to your response.
Gail Thomas Every day of the week is named after a pagan god. “Saturn” day. The early church gathered together every day.... Acts 2: 46 ¶ And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. Even on Sunday.... Acts 20: 7 ¶ And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. There is no record in the bible of Jesus or the apostles keeping the Sabbath. The Sabbath was a day of rest. Going into the synagogues to preach the gospel, didn’t mean they refrained from working that day. In fact, they preached every day and preaching on the Sabbath may have been considered their “regular duties”. The bible says that the Ten Commandments have been abolished. We follow what Jesus taught and what the Spirit guides in our heart. 2Cor 3: 6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. 7 ¶ But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: 8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? 9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. 10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. 11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. 12 ¶ Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: 13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: Gal 5: 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19 ¶ Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 ¶ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. God bless you sister.
Evan: Thank you for your blessing. As to the subject of Jesus and the disciples not keeping the sabbath, it is well documented in the New Testament that they did. The disciples kept the Sabbath 85 time in the book of Acts. The text also says this was a regular custom of Paul, as it was also the custom of Jesus. Also, throughout the New Testament the first day of the week is called "the first day of the week" and the seventh day of the week is called "the Sabbath." I've listed several chapters and verses bellow for you to reference. Acts 17:1 Acts 13:13-15 Acts 13:42 Acts 16:11-13 Acts 18:5-11 Acts 20:6-7 Acts 2:44-47 "...meeting in the temple and breaking bread daily... " This verse seems to be referencing supper, as the believers had sold all they had and gave to each other as they had need, as the Word tells us. I'm not claiming to have all of this figured out. I'm humbly, and prayfully, studying God's Word to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. If you would like to talk about this more, in order that we may both be edified, I'll be happy to share my email address with you. 🙏
I almost agreed with you. I'm of the view that all days are the same... and we should find a way to make each day special unto God. Plus, technically, the Sabbath is Saturday and the newtestament never changes it to Sunday. Sunday for me cannot be a rest day. Infact it tends to be the most exhausting day...more than work days. One take home is that, the Sabbath was created for (the sake of) man not the other way...it is therefore good we take a day to rest so that we don't burn out...but I still don't see how this can make whatever day more holy than another. God bless you John. God's ministry through you is touching many. Roy from Kenya... Though I'm yet to agree with Calvinism, I like you.
Isa 58:13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Isa 58:14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. Sunday is the Lord's day? I think not.
I don't understand why they believe sunday is the sabbath when the catholic church clearly states that Saturday is the sabbath but through the power of the pope they "changed the sabbath day to sunday" This is blashpemy, a man claiming to have the divine power of God, so why does his actions have weight?
This video answers the question "what does it mean practically to keep the Sabbath holy" and is not a debate on which day of the roman calendar we follow that day falls on. The preacher here mentions that Monday is his day of rest, as likely most clergy spend the majority of their weekends attending to the needs of others. I have many friends in the medical and social services fields who have an employer who dictates which two days are their "weekends" and have been impressed to learn of how they deal with the unique circumstance of having their "weekend" definition move around throughout the year and subsequently how they keep a day holy unto the Lord each week. My brother is a chaplain for one of the largest government law enforcement agencies and worked with others to have a spiritual service on Wednesday evenings to capture a large majority of those who are required to work on Saturday and Sunday. I really enjoyed the two main points of this video: Take rest and dedicate the day to God and find ways to say to God: "I love You and I reverence You and I honor You in a special way on this day". I don't often make New Year's resolutions, but this year I intend to examine and improve how I am giving a day to God to get to know Him better, to see me how He sees me, and to worship Him, serve Him, and be a better disciple of His Son Jesus Christ. Praise God.
So you work 6 days a week including Gods sabbath and then decide to rest on the second day ( Monday ) because that’s the day you have chosen for your rest and you call that “ keeping the sabbath “. ?🤔
I do think you need to listen to what he said about the verses in romans. Even though he said it’s not definitely about the sabbath, I read it as the sabbath, because I’m struggling with a friend who is very very strict about spending 10 hours a day studying on the sabbath day. And I asked the Lord about it and I was led to the verses in Romans about each man one-day all those accountable to the Lord and no one no one should condemn that man for the days all day he or she held accountable to the Lord. Just my thoughts brother God bless

Christians are instructed to gather Acts 20:7, 1Corinthians 16:2. It originated with Christ’s Resurrection n continued from then on regardless of what happened with the Pope n Catholics
I will fast from worldy things and meditate on peace love and joy for three days. Friday Saturday and Sunday. God is not lost, we are lost in this fallen world. I found the light within over a month ago(im not sure which day), revealing to me the darkness of this world. We are on fire. I panicked, despaired, then meditated on forgiveness. I went outside and was visited. There are beings of a higher dimension i cant really see or hear, but i felt a single touch high up on my forehead. I fear no more. Depression, anxiety, gone. It happened on a 3 day fast. I was an atheist seeking to prolong my life for my child. I quit drinking and adopted a vegan diet two years ago. I meditated to get my mind off of food. Thats when the light came to me. Completely by accident. We are awakening. Do not give in to fear.
fredc61 The law was given to Jews as a tutor until Jesus arrived. God's Holy Spirit now dwells in believers that trust in Jesus, the Holy Spirit pours out the love of God in their hearts and leads them to love God and people. Love fulfills the law! Don't get caught up in deciding which old testament Jewish scriptures you should obey. Jesus’s new command is to love others as He loves us.
So tell me, how do you fulfill Jesus command about loving others and loving God without keeping God's Law when Jesus also said that ALL the Law hangs from, or is derived from those two commandments?
Yes the mosaic law was given as a tutor but not the ten commandments. The ten commandments are inscribed on stone by God's own finger. So yes, there are two seperate laws, the Mosaic law which includes stoning and sacrifice of animals and then there is the ten commandments which contains the sabbath. This is STILL in effect.
@@SamuelForjoe before you discount or ignore the following scriptures, consider that ALL scripture is profitable for doctrine and reproof and correction. The law never made anyone righteous, it only condemned them. 1 Tim. 1.8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; 9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for the righteous, but for the wicked and rebellious, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the profane and unholy, for those who abuse their fathers and ill-treat their mothers, for murderers, 10 For whoremongers, for those who defile themselves with males, for kidnappers of well-born sons, for liars, for perjurers, and for whatever is contrary to sound doctrine; 11 This is according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was entrusted to me. Gal.5.4 For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God's grace. Gal.2.16 Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law." Gal.3.11 So it is clear that no one can be made right with God by trying to keep the law. For the Scriptures say, "It is through faith that a righteous person has life." Acts 21.25 As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication. Gal.3.5 Does he therefore who gives you the Spirit and works miracles among you do these things by the works of the law or by obedience to faith? 6 Just as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness, 7 You must know therefore that those who trust in faith are the children of Abraham. 8 Because God knew in advance that the Gentiles would be declared righteous through faith, he first preached to Abraham, as it is said in the Holy Scripture, In you shall all the Gentiles be blessed. Gal.4.5 To redeem them who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts crying, Abba, Abon, O Father, our Father. 7 From now on you are not servants but sons; and if sons, then heirs of God through Jesus Christ. Rom.8.3-9 For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. The law of love is a higher standard than the ten. The law says not to murder, the law of love says if you think evil in your heart towards a brother that you are guilty of murder. The law says do not commit adultery, the law of love says to not look at a woman with lust in your heart that you have committed adultery already in your heart. The law says don’t steal, the law of love says earn money that you would have enough to give to others. The law says to love your neighbor, the law of love says to love your enemies
@@nvdxn the same way Gentiles became believers, which didn’t have the law! They were born of the Spirit of God and they allow the love of God to flow through them! Gal.5.6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision accomplishes anything; what matters is faith working through love.
@@fredc61 yes I agree with you. I dont think you really understood what I wrote. Paul says that if we follow one part of the law then we must follow the whole law. And so if we can not follow the whole law then dont even try to follow parts of it since Christ is the fulfillment of the law. I do not disagree with you. But Paul was speaking in regards to the Mosaic law. Not the Ten Commandments. For example, the Mosaic law allowed a man to divorce his wife through a certificate. Yet this was still displeasing to God for "God is One hating a divorce." That law has been done away with. But the sabbath is part of the ten commandments. I know your reasoning about how the letter of the law stated one thing but Christ said to internalize it. So yes, the law said do not murder but Christ said not to even think evil against your fellow man. The law said not to commit adultery but yet Christ said not to even desire your fellow man's wife in your heart. This can be applied to the sabbath law too where the law says to honor the sabbath day and keep it holy but in a sense Christ is saying that we should not just observe the sabbath just for the sake of observing the sabbath but that we should internalize it and make it personal and look forward to it and place it in our hearts. So for example, if law, that is, the ten commandments, are not in a person's heart then one person may say, "I really desire my fellow man's wife but the law says not to commit adultery. Ok. So then I'll just lust after her in my heart." And Christ says to not even do that. So too if the law of the sabbath is not in a person's heart he may say to himself, "I really want to go and do something strenuous on this day or carry sticks on this day but I cant because it's the sabbath." Bur Christ's principle would be that we shouldn't even think that way but rather say in our heart, "I cant wait for the sabbath so that I can honor it and show appreciation to God by submitting to His will of me honoring the sabbath." Perhaps you understand my viewpoint. I too am a man still conflicted with wether the sabbath should still be observed or not, however, I'd rather be on the safer side and not act presumptuously. Besides, I love honoring my God on the sabbath on Saturday at a time where sunday worship is pushed by the devil to disrespect our Creator.
But is it really the Sabbath keeping Christians who have misunderstood the Sabbath? If God said the Sabbath is the SEVENTH DAY and He said its a SIGN to be kept forever then is it really a 'misunderstanding' to actually keep it? Is it possible the misunderstanding is coming from the Sunday Church who have not heeded Peter's advice in 2 Pet 3:15-17 and MISUNDERSTOOD Paul's HARD TO UNDERSTAND LETTERS. isn't it possible that unlearned teachers who don't actually hold God's Word high enough have ignored what God said and TWISTED PAUL'S LETTERS TO THE ERROR OF LAWLESSNESS? Is it really considered 'lawlessness' to obey God's Law?
Jesus is the Sabbath. We must be holy every day. The sabbath was for the Jews under the old covenant. We who are gentiles and have been grafted in and are called to be Holy every day of the week.
Mark 7:6-8 NIV He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: “ ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’ You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.”
Its about eating or fasting. Some would fast on certain days and some would say you need to fast on other days. It has nothing to do with the Sabbath day. Whether you fast or eat,you do it to God
Kenneth a Stewart; Are you aware the Body of Christ, the Church, is not living under the Law of Moses? Let me ask you, at the time when God gave His Sabbath command to WHOM God was talking to?; Please read; (Exo 35:1) And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the LORD hath commanded, that ye should do them. (Exo 35:2) Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death. NOTE it was explicitly stated "Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together". Are you the children of Israel? Which tribes you belong to? Please study your bible properly and don't simply and blindly follow as the Sabbath command was never, never given to the Gentiles period. Further it is an abomination to God because He gave you His wisdom but you just lay it aside and follow preachers blindly.
I just lost all respect for him, to say that the Christian Sabbath is now Sunday & that the first century church kept Sunday has no historic backing nor biblical backing and I believe he must know this.
We must not confuse with the Law of Sabbath, the 4th commandment which said 'Remember the Sabbath, and keep it holy.' from the application of the Sabbath. The Law of the Sabbath is the same for both Old and New Covenant which is 'Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.' but the application of the Sabbath for the Old covenant was to look back to the Sabbath of the 1st creation which was instituted on the 7th day. GOD specifically told Moses to keep this Sabbath given to Adam but was lost to mankind after Adam sinned. The New Covenant Sabbath is not referring to Adam's Sabbath but the Sabbath of the New Creation. Rev.21:5 GOD has made a new Sabbath through Christ and Christ is the Lord of the new Sabbath. The New Sabbath happen to be established on the 8th day, the day Jesus rose from the dead. The Rest that we are all told to enter into is the day of the Resurrection which we remember by looking forward to its coming all the time. We all know that the Old covenant has become obsolete but the New covenant is eternal, so why go backwards and practice something that has passed away. Instead we should be remembering the coming eternal Sabbath by living holy lives and waiting patiently for the dawning of that day.
+ jamie You still think you can keep the true Sabbath with sin still around? The 1st Sabbath was instituted in a perfect environment without sin. When sin entered, the Sabbath was not mentioned. From Abel to Jacob, there was no mention. Why the silence? Lost of course! Why is JESUS the LORD of the Sabbath? He gets to decide on the Day of the New Sabbath. When GOD instructed Moses on the Sabbath He specifically brought him back to the 1st Creation Sabbath. Ex.20:8-11 Yet the Covenant of Moses was not the covenant of life but of death. Why did this covenant pass away? Heb.8:13
Shalom You are simple a liar Mark 7:6-8 NIV He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: “ ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’ You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.”
@@sax7productions Did not GOD said HE shall make all things NEW in CHRIST? Rev.21:4-5 cp 2Cor.5:17-18 So why are you lying against GOD? Did not HE say 'old things' have passed away? Why are you still engrossed with matters of the Old Covenant?
Matthew 7:21-23 - English Standard Version (ESV) 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
Wow really. What false teaching/ clearly he believes his interpretation of Paul outweighs what Yeshua said in Matthew 5:17-18. The new covenant says YHVH will write His Torah on hearts and minds. He must be part of some other covenant.
Romans 14 is not about Sabbath. The surrounding verses reveal that Paul is addressing the issue of Christians passing judgment on each other regarding eating and abstaining from certain food/fasting on a particular day.
It is written in the Bible... Eze 22:25,25; Exo 20:1, 8-11, Luke 4:16, Lev. 23:1-3, Jer. 17:21, Neh. 13: 15,16, Amos 8:5, Exo. 16:23, Exo. 35:1-3, Num. 15:32,33, Exo. 19:10, Luke 13: 10,11,12,13, Exo. 31:12-17. The instructions are plain and clear on what to do and not to do on the Sabbath. God laid out the rules. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. The 10 commandments is still the law today. Jesus said, "if you love me, keep my commandments."
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.
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)- remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
This man is lost... why people choose to believe in mens reasoning instead of the written word...sabath day...not resurrection day, nor sunday...nor any day of the week you choose.
Well, I was hoping to hear about keeping the Sabbath holy, but soon as you mentioned the church (not God) changing the day to Sunday, and you thought that's the way it worked, I knew I couldn't trust anything else you had to say. I pray you keep studying and find the true Sabbath.
This is funny in a way to me. Especially sun-day preachers. God said, Seventh-day is holy and you will get bless if you keep it holy. But Sun-day is not holy. Its just another day. You won't get any blessing. What would you do? Is it that hard?
the sabbath is beautiful because God made a way possible to enjoy it and practice it by the Holy Spirit. every day. We are no longer citizens of this world we belong to the kingdom. our rest is complete thanks to Jesus Christ.
Romans 14 says it all, “.....Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand. 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. Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone. If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living. You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat. It is written: “ ‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.’ ” So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God. Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister. I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean.” ”....So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.” Romans 14:4-14, 22 NIV
You have no biblical basis at all for declaring Sunday to be the Lord's day. Jesus said he is lord of the Sabbath. The papacy considers Sunday to be the mark of its authority, and rightly so, because they threatened, tortured, and killed anyone who they caught keeping God's Sabbath. Dan 7:25 prophesied that the man of sin would think to change the times and laws. That is exactly what the papacy did. In their catechism, which Catholics follow in preference to the Bible, the Sabbath commandment has been changed to Sunday and it starts at midnight instead of sunset.(times) The man of sin also omitted the second commandment to bring in pagan idol worship. They changed the names of gods and goddesses to become Jesus and saints. The pope then split the tenth commandment into two, so there would still be ten. Jesus warned that not a jot or tittle would be changed from the law, but here we have Catholics trying to keep 8 commandments and Protestants only 9. I thank God that we will be judged by the light that we have, but before he returns, the whole world will be presented with the truth. Every one must choose to obey God's perfect, unchangeable law or to follow tradition and the laws of man. Yes, the US will eventually make a law that everyone must worship on Sunday. The Evangelicals and Lutherans are already embracing Catholicism. The pope is using climate change and worker's rights to get legislative support for his mark in Europe. The early Protestants were right in their assessment of the pope as the Antichrist. Remember, those who break just one of these commandments and teach others to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. If you have any doubt that the papacy is the Antichrist, watch Mark Woodman's video, "Who is the Antichrist". He will give 21 points of identification from the Bible to prove that it's the pope.
Constantine (325 AD) DID NOT change the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday as Sabbath keepers falsely teach. Christians never kept the Sabbath from the apostolic age (33 AD) through the time of Constantine (325AD). Constantine merely made the first "Sunday closure law", since it had already been the day Christians worship for 300 years!
Romans 6:14 You are not under law but under grace. Jesus delivered us from legalism because God is more interested in your heart than your religious performance. Honour Jesus Christ every day.
Luis Maldonado check out Romans 7:6-7 which says that we are delivered from the law. And in verse 7 it speaks about coveting which is the 10th commandment. How can you say it is only dealing with ceremonial law.
Jesus delivered us from the law as a mean of salvation. Jews wanted to be saved by keeping the law. Paul explains that it is impossible to be saved by the law. We are saved by grace through faith...not by works, so that no one can boast (Ephesians 2:8, 9), but if you keep reading, then it says: "For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus TO DO GOOD WORKS, which God prepared in advance for us to do" (verse 10). We are not saved by works, but if we are saved by grace, then God wants us to walk in his laws. Listen to Titus 2:11-12 "For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age". In other words, the Grace of God teaches us to keep the law. Hebrews 10:16 says that God is going to put his laws in our hearts and write it on our minds. The law of God is still valid. God did not do away with it. Even Jesus said he came to fulfill the Law, not to abolish it (Matthew 5:17). God indeed is interested in our hearts. But the only way to know whats in our hearts is in our outter performance. So we are to keep the Law not as a mean of salvation, but rather as a token of appreciation for what God has done in our lives. God bless you!
Brother Gerardo, Everything you just said I completely agree with God bless you. Now I attend a Seventh day adventist church with my dear brother. I really enjoy their doctrine, But one thing that seems to honestly quench my spirit is when they bring up the Sabbath day. Correct me if I'm wrong please, But I have somewhat to say here and It's this, The Sabbath day has nothing to do with salvation! I want to tell people about JESUS CHRIST, I want to tell them how to be SAVED. And I get so angry when I am sitting in this church with my brother and they bring up how churches are decieved by worshiping Sunday! I say so what, WORSHIP EVERYDAY! I do not understand why are we telling eachother that we are decieved by going to church on a Sunday? If the Sabbath is Saturday which I believe it is then why don't we worship Saturday, Then Worship Sunday, then worship Monday, Then worship Tuesday, Ect. I as a disciple of Jesus live as if It's Sabbath day EVERYDAY. Not that I rest everyday, For my rest is to do the will of God and Preach Jesus! My dear brother of mine told me today that he wasn't going to help me pay for this bible college that is on my heart if they go to church ON A SUNDAY. I don't know why I have so much rage in my heart about this but I pray that It's from the Spirit of God because I have been being tribulated by Satan also this season. But I feel like I need to speak on this to every Christian. What do you think?
Early Christians suffered at their time because they are Christian but still they Christianity strives, and , at that time early christian do gather to worship on Sunday. How's that? .
the LORD's DAY is the SABBATH. Matt 12:8 - for the Son of Man is LORD OF THE SABBATH; mark 2:28 So the SON of Man is LORD even of the SABBATH; Luke 6:5 - then jesus said unto them The Son of Man is LORD of the SABBATH; Exo 20:10 - the 7th day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God.Romans 14:5-7 - one person esteems one day above another;...he who EATS, EATS TO THE LORD, for he give God thanks, & he who does NOT EAT, to the LORD does NOT EAT give thanks to the LORD.it is about fasting, meat, drink NOT THE SABBATH. the whole matter involves abstention from foods on particular days. TO EAT OR NOT TO EAT. jesus said that we should fast before God & not to be seen or let it be known by others unnecessarily. in God's sight it does not matter when one abstains or fasts, but HE does care whether we do it in a proper attitude. and if john piper says that we can make a day HOLY, then that is blasphemy. only god can make a day holy NOT man.revelation 14:7 - saying with a loud voice 'fear God & give glory to Him...& worship who made the heavens, earth sea & springs of water - (does it say WORSHIP THE ONE WHO resurrected on the 1st day?)after God created the heavens & earth - HE RESTED ON THE 7th day NOT the 1st day for the 1st day is WORK day.
I wonder if Mr Piper will even bother to read your comment, because it clearly shows that he is in terrible error. Its amazing how bible teachers say to use hermaneutics, context, look for what is mentioned most and that's the correct topic etc etc, then when it comes to passages like Rom 14 it is supposedly all about not keeping the Sabbath and eating unclean meat .... when neither of those are even mentioned and its obviously not the context
Did Jesus keep the Sabbath? Certainly Jesus kept the Sabbath. He lived under the Law Moses. "But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law" (Galatians 4:4). As an observant Jew, Jesus was circumcised (Luke 2:21.) He kept the Passover (Luke 22:15). There is no mention of his observing the Sabbath after his resurrection, even though he remained on the earth for some 40 days. That would include at least five Sabbath days. The reason we find no further observance of the Sabbath is seen in the fact that the Sabbath and other Old Testament observances were abolished at the death of Christ. "When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him. Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day-things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ" (Colossians 2:13-17). The Scripture says Christ took the decrees out of the way, having nailed them to the cross. Therefore, we are not to be judged any more concerning food or drink (dietary laws), or the observance of special days (including Sabbath days) or seasons. One commentary states: "The word 'judge' here is used in the sense of pronouncing a sentence. The meaning is, `since you have thus been delivered by Christ from the evils which surrounded you; since you have been freed from the observances of the law, let no one sit in judgment on you, or claim the right to decide for you in those matters'" (Albert Barnes). The apostle Paul, by inspiration declares that the Sabbath day has no more significance to us any more than the feast days, etc. We do not live under the Old Testament system at this time.
The Law has been fulfilled by the Finished work of the cross. If you have a brethren in the hospital (God forbid), on a sabbath day..would you still go? The point of the teachings Jesus gave to the Pharisees regarding His healings on the Sabbath is that Christ is Lord of the Sabbath. Seeing that Christ is Lord of the Sabbath, we could be rest assured that when He said, "It is finished," that our sins and transgressions which is stemmed from the law has been paid for. Jesus Christ kept every law!! Did He not?? What did He do on the Sabbath? He loved. Instead of trying to focus on keeping up with laws..(which we as humans can't), find rest, in the finished work of the cross. In the finished work of Jesus Christ. This is not to say that the Law wasn't right, cause ofcourse it is, cause it's God's law. It's just that Jesus Christ fulfilled the law! Love fulfilled the law! Remember we are currently under Grace! May the Lord bless you who's reading this.
Yes. I would go on the sabbath and visit because it is not unlawful to do good on the sabbath Jesus healed on the sabbath. That's not work. If it were, He would have sinned and been disqualified as our perfect sacrifice. We worship daily, but the sabbath was set apart by the Father in Genesis 2. Be blessed
Mark 7:6-8 NIV He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: “ ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’ You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.”
If you were a Jew keeping the seventh-day Sabbath, was not a matter of personal conscience -- it had observed equally in the same way by all people. This is because it was a covenantal sign between God and national Israel. It had very specific instructions as to how it was to be kept and failure was punishable by priestly civil law. Hence, those who claim to be keeping the OT Sabbath today are making a false claim
Also, we must remember that keeping the Saturday Sabbath as a rest day, was an independent law for Israel, before it ever became included as part of the covenant. Exodus 16:23 .
DocScience2 The Sabbath day was a temporary object lesson of eternal spiritual rest in God. That rest only Christ can give. The Sabbath was a one day in seven ritualistic object lesson of eternal rest. So many have yet to enter that rest. If you have entered you would not be attempting to keep an old covenant object lesson and shadow of the true. There is no law in Heaven, because Heaven is a spiritual domain where God reigns and His will is done. The kingdom of God or kingdom of Heaven is within. Its where all things are at one with God. Law is only ever applicable in a lawless domain as a heart that is without God. Such a heart betrays lawless behaviour which must be brought under the restraint of rules and regulations which constitutes law. But law, by its very nature, is merely a deterrence. The deterrence is the claim carried by its penalty and such a claim is useless without enforcement of the penalty That law does not exist today anywhere in the world. Nobody gets stoned for breaking the old covenant Sabbath day. In any case law cannot stop wrong behaviour, it can only deter it. What is needed is a change of heart and mind where the will becomes at one with God's and the spirit depends upon and rests in God's power and grace at all times. That's true rest. That's the rest --spiritual rest--God gives in Christ. That was the purpose of the gospel..
Brian Hyde What happened in perfect Eden? Did Adam sin? You have not thought this through. May God Bless you. Jesus is our rest, but why would that change the Sabbath. We have grace so we don't have to die for transgression. Does that mean we call the law sin? God forbid. We uphold the law.
Brian Hyde branches of gentiles will be grafted making everyone children of Israel. Sabbath is the Seventh day, which cannot be the first. If that's what you meant. Mark 16 never had an angel stating changed day Sabbath.
Brian Hyde Old Testament proves the New Testament. Locked in. Isaiah 9:6 Isaiah 53 Psalm 2 Micah 5:2 Daniel 9. So these books are 1 book. Not two different statements. Pact stays in Israel's children of God. Gentiles included.
Amazing Satan is at work even in the comments section :( putting Brother against Sister and vice versa. Love GOD and keep his holy COMMANDMENTS . SABBATH IS SATURDAY. Gods Seal on the TEN COMMANDMENTS.
Circumcision was God's everlasting covenant to his people (see Genesis 17), and we don't need to be circumcised (see Acts 15). The truth is, Christian's are under a new covenant, divorced from the law to be married to Christ (see Romans 7:1-6), whose laws are the fulfillment of the law. The Sabbath has been fulfilled in this; rather than rest on a day from our work to survive fleshly, that is, to make food to live, we rest in Christ from our work to survive spiritually, that is, to earn our salvation. See Matthew 11:28-30 and Colossians 2:16-17. With Colossians, you may say that the sabbaths talked about there are plural, so the Sabbath isn't included. However, it makes perfect sense to include the Sabbath in those sabbaths because it would make sense that Jesus would fulfill the Sabbath in a similar way to the other sabbaths.
Glory to the most high GOD, in the words of Elijah the prophet "how long halt yee between two opinions, if the Lord GOD be God serve and obeh Him,but if the Roman or early church or the Pope be God then serve him.
