One point means stay on track and only provide answers that tackle the point being discussed.

So point 1,

According to Gods word what day did God bless before sin came into the world?

Gen 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. Gen 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

I know its a simple question but lets stay on task. the problem we often have when speaking on topics like this one is that people don't stay on task. they try to refute without first establishing anything. you may think you have many texts to go against the Sabbath but they are not going to answer the question so please focus.

It's really troll-like to make an individual thread for each point of a subject. There's really no point unless you're just trying to spam the main board.

I am not sure how else to do it, because if I open it up to anything people won't address the point at all. they just bring up some other point and ignore the flaws in the base of their answer.

I purposely only did three to avoid taking the whole page up with these posts.

I am surprised that simple questions bring such resistance.

how about something like: i keep saturday sabbath> do you?- if not, why not?

something like that.

the 'resistance' is to too many threads on the same topic, not the topic.

It's not your questions that are meeting resistance, but your method. Opening a thread per point is futile because people never stay on topic no matter what you do, and the main page will fill up with stupid sabbath threads all having the same name except for one number.

Fair call as I said I will not post any more while any Sabbath threads remain on this page.

I see nothing wrong with this way of doing this, gotime's THREE 'nuts' are well said and so get to it.

Me: Let's nut ! (ACtually, I am going to sleep :D )

But, yes, we are to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy. :)
Holy=different.
Holy=sacred.

Make your Sabbath day, whichever day it is, holy, as Romans 12:1 is spun in , be acceptable, a living sacrifice to Christ :)
