Re: Should "Sabbath keepers" discuss/debate keeping Sabbath online on the Sabbath?

But, He did keep it according to God's will, and that is, doing God's Will....acts of love....And I hope, more sure then not, you do not keep it as the Torah says, but as Jesus showed...
Of course ...I've said this numerous times.

Jesus kept the Sabbath as He broke no law, otherwise He was no Savior in fulfilling the Law in our stead.
True, He brought out aspects of doing good on the Sabbath which Judaism by the time of Christ had been blinded to through their traditions.
I agree, He kept it according to how God intended it to be kept (doing His Will (love)). If Jesus kept the Sabbath, and He is Lord of Sabbath, then the way He kept the Sabbath is how we all are to keep it....thanks :)

Re: Should "Sabbath keepers" discuss/debate keeping Sabbath online on the Sabbath?

You are a word twister if I ever seen one. Show me where I said Jesus didn't keep the Sabbath.
It's the delusion that some have in thinking they are KEEPING the Sabbath when they are not as prescribed in the Torah.

I don't need to twist words when your implication is left open for interpretation. By this statement you imply that Christ should have kept it by how its found in the Torah and completely nullify the example he left.

Your statement really should have been, " It's the delusion that some have in thinking they are KEEPING the Sabbath when they are not as prescribed by Christ example."

His example never broke what was written in the TORAH.
We are not saved by Christ's example but by His perfect obedience to the Law.

Actually that isn't entirely correct. We are saved by His blood being shed on the cross. His blood which is the perfect atonement, the redemptive act that literally paid for our sins so that we can enter heaven. His perfect adherence to the law is how we are able to not keep it. He fulfilled it so that our obedience to it is not necessary or profitable.

So when Christ rebuked the Pharisees for imposing technicalities on how to keep it, that stands for nothing ? And again I am not trying to be saved by being obedient to the law.

It stood for a rebuke that they were placing man's traditions/restrictions upon the Sabbath and not as the Torah had intended.

Galatians 4:9-11 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.

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

Colossians 2:16-17 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Galatians 2:4-5 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: to whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

Matthew 22:37-40 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Galatians 5:13-14 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

1 John 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

But they do judge us - day and night, for not keeping the sabbath...and altho scripture clearly tells us not to allow that, some here think we shouldn't disagree.

Re: Should "Sabbath keepers" discuss/debate keeping Sabbath online on the Sabbath?

here are a few examples...

"If you keep sunday you break commandment #4
God is not there
and you will not be blessed"
http://christianchat.com/bible-disc...sting-article-church-worship.html#post1571749

"Sunday worship is pagan. Constantine the pagan injected Sunday worship in modern Christianity.
Sunday is sun worship that goes back to the Egyptians and Babylonians."
http://christianchat.com/bible-disc...-vs-lords-day-sunday-worship.html#post1031469

"you worship on SUNDAY and you are worshipping the image of the BEAST"
http://christianchat.com/bible-disc...dol-sunday-ignoring-word-god.html#post1530607

View attachment 88362

i should add that when those posts were made...not one of the 'sabbath keepers' objected...instead they just joined in opposing the non sabbath keepers who were merely defending themselves from the hateful attacks...

so yes...there have been sabbath keepers here who say you can't go to church on sunday...

Yes, there are a couple, or at least there were. The last 2 posts are by people no longer around, and the 1st post relates Saturday Sabbath to Sunday Sabbath, not general worship.

But those who are actively involved in these discussions believe that (not to my knowledge anyway)

You obviously have not read posts where I've addressed most of these verses that are taken out of context.

I suppose you can quibble about the many facets...here is what I had in mind...

For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.

Re: Should "Sabbath keepers" discuss/debate keeping Sabbath online on the Sabbath?

scuba said "Sunday as the Lord's day is one of Satan's greatest deceptions..." , which is saying if I choose to treat sunday as the Lord's day I am doing satan's will. Saying he meant anything else is to put a spin on his despicable words. Why don't you people stop defending each other at the drop of a hat and disagree with error?
Scuba was talking about Saturday Sabbath vs. Sunday Sabbath, aka the Lords day.

Its not talking about general worship on Sunday.

Do you not judge The Sabbath keepers? And I don't think anyone has really provided scripture where it says that we shouldn't keep it. Alot of the verses provided are taken out of context.

It's not quibbling. Simply stating a fact. Burnt offerings are also known as sin offerings. That is what Christ did on the cross. Our perfect sacrificial lamb so that we wouldn't have to. That is the point in time that our need for offerings ceased. The point in time Daniel spoke of in 12:11.

I'm not going to mention exact user names, but some of it is pure trolling or devious trolling, tares. When you find somebody endlessly repeating something divisive, a Johnny-one-note, and lacking any theological depth or understanding to account for themselves, ignoring clear scripture that proves them wrong, it's usually a person looking for attention, or a deceiver. Pushing bondage is in violation of Christian teaching, period. I've posted the verses proving this, many times, have seen others, also, to be roundly ignored.

Re: Should "Sabbath keepers" discuss/debate keeping Sabbath online on the Sabbath?

I probably can't make a complete list like you, but I did find this.

Exodus 20


Doesn't that pretty much exclude going to restaurants? And exclude doing business at all?

I mean once you enter a restaurant or store on the Sabbath, you create a demand for work, and then the one serving you becomes your servant. And if they are your servant, they shouldn't be working.

Right?

So then we have to do the activity I suggested earlier.
[video=youtube;A9mZZfVJNQ0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9mZZfVJNQ0[/video]

Compare what the Bible says to what modern day Sabbath keepers do..and see if one thing is like the other.
That is a pretty loose interpretation.

Are you saying that your server at Chili's is your slave and is under your ownership and direction?
Because that is what that passage is referring to, not my server at Applebee's.

Re: Should "Sabbath keepers" discuss/debate keeping Sabbath online on the Sabbath?

the -biblical- principles on how to observe the sabbath are outlined very clearly in scripture...it does not just mean 'doing what is lawful' in your own eyes...

if your goal is to follow the instructions in order to get the desired result...then you -follow the instructions exactly-! you don't get to pick and choose what instructions you follow as long as you are keeping to 'the spirit' of the instructions...just try doing that the next time you are making something from a kit...
Could you please list the Sabbath instructions found in the Word so we can all be aware of what the rules are?

Thanks in advance.

What was wrong with Rom 5:19 in relation to Christ's obedience and His saving us? That was my original post you 'corrected'.

For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.
