My personal experience is this: back when I had a restaurant and began closing on "saturday", our busiest day of the week, my spiritual life did a beneficial 180, and weekly sales remained the same.

"In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week,
An interesting aside:

Matthew: "And on the eve of the sabbaths (plural), at the dawn, toward the first of the sabbaths (plural)"

Luke & John: "And on the first of the sabbaths (plural)"

These are references to the beginning of the 49 day counting of the omer (7 weeks, or sabbath sabbaths), which follows passover, not inherently to "Sunday", whether or not it was on a "Sunday."

There's a very interesting, however, 10 hour long, video series by a guy name "Michael Rood" (whose teachings as a whole I cannot endorse). In this video, he does a very good job of tying together astronomical history with biblical and secular history to prove the years of birth and resurrection and that Y'Shua's ministry was 490 days long rather than the 3 years currently claimed. He also explains the 3 days debacle. I believe it's called "the creator's calendar".
Granted the oddness of the presentation, I believe there's a lot of good info in his video.

What about policemen or firemen? Doctors and nurses who have to work in your "everyday life"?

Luke 14

King James Version (KJV)

1 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.

2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.

3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?

4 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;

5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?

6 And they could not answer him again to these things
Luke 13:14-16

King James Version (KJV)

14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.

15 The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?

16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?


17 And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him

Is it lawful to do good on Sundays?
Surely, things will come up, and sometimes we must do things on the Sabbath we ordinarily wouldn't.

Sometimes we must even work (for pay)(on the Sabbath), That's why Jesus told us that the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath,
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]Mark 2:27.[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman] [/FONT][/FONT]We are allowed to do well on the Sabbath.

It is good to visit one another and speak thus said the Lord.

It is also good to save a life of visit the afflicted on the Sabbath.

I like your posts, however keep in mind the Sabbath Day instructions in the quote you quoted from Lev. 23:3 is distinct from the one in the Ten Commandments. This holy convocation is in reverent celebration of having entered into the promised land, something we all look forward to come the Kingdom. Below is the Commandment of the Sabbath of the 7th day; there is no mention of a convocation at this time, however no day is exempt from
worshipping our Maker, amen.

Exo 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Exo 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
Exo 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
Exo 20:11 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.

its the same

sabbath means rest
Leviticus 23

King James Version (KJV)


1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.

3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings


we have to read the word of God the way the Lord said, line upon line and precept upon precept, here a little and there a little. This is how we teach knowledge

Isaiah 28

Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.

10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

holy convocation is where you get the meaning for gathering and going to church

You may not choose to answer the question among the congregation, I understand. But atleast be honest with yourself. This debate over what day people go to church on is childish at best.
its not a debate nor childish if you beleive in all the words of Jesus

Matthew 4:4
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

do you beleive in this?

if so

then you beleive in these words

Exodus 20
1 And God spake all these words, saying,

8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 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.

"And Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up for to read." (Luke 4:14-16).

Notice that Jesus did not go to the house of worship on Sunday.

Also, notice that, when he went to worship, he did not listen to a pastor’s interpretation of what he (the pastor) thought God was saying.

But, Jesus sanctified the Sabbath day (7th day) and he read the "Holy Scriptures".

Apostle Paul is an example of a true Christian giving respect unto the Lord's Day. Christian means Christ like, and Paul is a great imitator of Christ.

"And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three Sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures," (Acts 17:2).

Brothers and sisters our forefathers customs, manners or tradition was honoring all the laws of God. Our forefathers were believers in the "Holy Scriptures" and those of our forefathers, who dishonored the law by polluting the Sabbath, were stoned to death.

Even in this day, any Christian not honoring the customs of the Lord is to be cut off from among "The Church" (Israel).

''Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us." [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman](2Thes 3:6)[/FONT][/FONT].

keeping the Sabbath day is apart of that tradition.

We all know that the Sabbath day consist of 24 hours, as all days do.

However it is important that we understand that the Lord begins the day with the evening,

"And God called the light day, and the darkness was called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day." [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman](Gen 1:5).[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman] [/FONT][/FONT]Man begins the day at 12:01 am, so, there is about a six hour difference from sundown (beginning of the day) to midnight.

In other words, [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]the seventh day begins Friday at evening, [/FONT][/FONT]instead of, midnight Friday; thus, [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]the seventh day is sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][/FONT][/FONT]As we tend to keeping the whole law of God, we must, also remember to observe the whole day of rest.

Prophecy declared that we would [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]forget to keep the Sabbath holy. [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][/FONT][/FONT]"Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy", is what the Lord commands us in the "Ten Commandments", see [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]Ex.20:8-11.[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]Yes, the world has forgotten to sanctify the Sabbath and that is the reason why we (the world) are in such a terrible state today.

[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][/FONT][/FONT]"The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]transgressed the laws, change the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.

Let this scripture encourage us not to be [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]"Covenant breakers" [/FONT][/FONT]and learn how we are to [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]honor the Sabbath [/FONT][/FONT]by keeping it [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]holy [/FONT][/FONT]and a [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]sacred [/FONT][/FONT]day.

Men and women of Israel and all that fear God, if we want eternal life in Jesus' Kingdom, and favor with God and man here on earth, we must be real Christians; not so-called Christians, and rejoice in his Sabbath on the Sabbath (7th day).

"Hear ye this, O' house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the Lord and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness. For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; the Lord of hosts is his name." [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman](Isaiah 48:1-2). [/FONT][/FONT]

just coming to church week after week is not enough.

We must not forget to keep the Sabbath day holy.

Remember, if you smoke, don't light up on the Sabbath. "Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the Sabbath day." [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman](Ex 35:3)[/FONT][/FONT]

Don't cook on the Sabbath day, but prepare your meals before sundown Friday.

"And he said unto them, this is that which the Lord hath said, tomorrow is the rest of the Holy Sabbath unto the Lord: bake that which ye will bake today, and seethe (boil) that ye will seethe; and that which remainth over lay up for to be kept until the morning." [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman](Ex 16:23). [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]Also, it is wise to prepare salads and eat fruit, vegetables and snacks.

The Lord commands us not to do any work on the Sabbath. This includes household chores as well as, labor for hire.

Six days shall work be done, but the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death." [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman](Ex 31:15). [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][/FONT][/FONT]

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2 Timothy 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.


Hebrews 3:7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
Hebrews 3:8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
Hebrews 3:9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
Hebrews 3:10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
Hebrews 3:11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
Hebrews 3:12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
Hebrews 3:13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
Hebrews 3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
Hebrews 3:15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
Hebrews 3:16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
Hebrews 3:17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
Hebrews 3:18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
Hebrews 3:19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
Hebrews 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
Hebrews 4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
Hebrews 4:3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
Hebrews 4:4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
Hebrews 4:5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
Hebrews 4:6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
Hebrews 4:7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
Hebrews 4:8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
Hebrews 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
Hebrews 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
Hebrews 4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

=angelofmercy; ]You may not choose to answer the question among the congregation, I understand. But atleast be honest with yourself. This debate over what day people go to church on is childish at best.
I agree, we have to be careful about splitting hairs over doctrine, or being childish. But I don't think deciding about days of worship and celebration is childish to God, but a very serious matter. Paul warned us about judging others on these points, but when he taught people of other religions he never ever said some of how you worship is just fine, God is God and you recognize that there is God. Paul says to turn away and repent and follow the one true God. It is up to us to find out all about why and how our days of worship came from and check them to be sure they are of God and not of other religions. In the time we live in we are given the tools to do that.

1 Cor 10:20 No, but I do say that what they sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God. I do not want you to participate with demons! 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons.

the Lord had Paul write hear his voice and hardened not your heart

Hebrews 4:7


7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

this is not about splitting hairs or judging it about obeying God's words

listen

Exodus 20

King James Version (KJV)

1 And God spake all these words, saying,

8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 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.

if you Love Jesus you will keep his commandments

John 14:15
