It's not for me to say a Christian should this or that but for myself I rest, study the bible, chat with fellow Christians and do good if circumstance arises.

Excellent because the Bible is what we're discussing.

Does Luke 9:23 has anything to do with working on Sabbath?

Jesus wasn't resting when He was carrying His cross.

Maybe you forgot but you've already decided that Jesus Christ is wrong and you are right.

I don't think it's biblical to bless those who don't honor the sabbath.
Matt 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;


It make no sense that someone with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit would aver that "it's not for me to say".

Keeping Sabbath does not necessarily mean going to the church. Sometimes it's better being alone so His voice could be heard.
Our faith could make us enemies to our families, friends and even religious people but as long as we have Him our friend that's alright - Our Father always provides a way out.
Hey Moses and Paul were not eloquent either but they didn't do that bad, did they? Working on Sabbath does not necessarily mean breaking it if it's to serve and to protect in His way. There are many examples in the Bible but I guess you know.
I've got a lot to learn from you kiddo.
I like this about observing the Sabbath!
Of course the encouragement is helpful...

I think we learn from each other in our love and fellowship!
you are a blessing to me :)

Well miss Alexis your testimony made me tear up sister :)

"Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake."

gathering together on the first day of the week is worshipping the beast?
you better read your bible.
and early church history.

your message of sabbath-keeping is not the Gospel of Christ.
Not to step on any toes, but Jesus kept the seventh day Sabbath, he didn't keep it the way the pios Priests thought he should, but if you believe he didn't, I will be happy to show the scriptures that show he did. Now I am not speaking against worshipig on the first day of the week, if that is what a person feels called to do, then it is between them and God. I know, no one should keep either day because another human says they should.

peace

Oh? Never heard of Ellen G. White? Is that like you pretrending just a few days ago that it just suddenly dawned on you that you should keep the sabbath? Yet not many posts later you demonstrated that you are very practiced in discussions advocating keeping of the sabbath.
Rep Power, There is a lot that you do not learn in would history, there is a lot that is deliberately not taught in Christian colleges, but the seventh day Sabbath was kept by ALL believers, Jew and Gentile until the Apostles were all dead. That information is more than likely only found in Encyclopedias in the reference section of librarys, because I have tride to nail it down on the net, and noooooobody knows when the Roman calendar was mingiled with the Hebrew calendar and those changes were made. I will be happy to give you the scriptures that show the Sabbath as well as the Hebrew holy days were kept by all early Christians, if you let me know you are interested. For yourself, it is between you and the Lord what day you set aside for him, he looks on the heart, but we are not to judge one another in that.

God bless

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times]Special Note: Please note that God's law also called the 10 Commandments has existed at least as long as sin has existed. The Bible says, "Where no law is, there is no transgression [or sin]." Romans 4:15. So God's TenCommandment law existed from the beginning. Men broke that law."Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." 1 John 3:4Because of sin (or breaking God's law), Moses law was given (or "added" Galatians 3:16, 19) till Christ should come and die. Two separate laws involved: God's law or 10 Commandments and Moses law.[/FONT]​

Are you saying
a. carrying the cross in the context of Luke 9:23 is a physical one?
b. carrying the cross is work?
Matt 5:44 bless them that curse YOU, do good to them that hate YOU, and pray for them which depitefully use YOU, and persecute YOU.
It's not for me to say. I leave it to the JUDGE.
It does not have to make sense for you.

That's part of His suffering, yes, that's why it's in the New Testament.

Matt 5:44 bless them that curse YOU, do good to them that hate YOU, and pray for them which depitefully use YOU, and persecute YOU.
It's not for me to say.
2 Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

I leave it to the JUDGE.
1 Cor 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?


It does not have to make sense for you.
James 3:1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.

Jesus Christ is perfect.

We are all members of His Body.

When the Father sees us, He sees His Son.

His Son is perfect.

Is this understandable?





When I say “You’re fabricating an image in God’s mind about you” because you say that He “sees me as perfect”… this is not a hellfire accusation. There is no other way for me to truthfully express that error in a more gentle fashion. I could have said, “You’re wrong… God does not see you as being perfect” … but that would have sounded like I was accusing you of doing wrong.

However, I will take your words to heart and do my very best short of covering up truth… not to offend you.


Agreed

Agreed

Agreed


Disagree.. You’ve just made a contradiction (and don’t take it as a hellfire accusation).

If you are “being perfected” then you are not perfect. If God regarded you as perfect than you are not being perfected. God doesn’t regard something as being something that it is not. He doesn’t look at something that is being perfected as perfect in the same way we do not look at a project in progress and being completed..



Agreed.. exactly what I mentioned above… God sees it the same way you see it… you will be perfected when He has finished with you but like you, He doesn’t see you as perfect.

Because of this false teaching people unwittingly apply bizarre characteristics upon God… that He sees things that are black as being white, dirty as being clean, evil as being good… these characteristics we don’t even apply to our least of acquaintances and yet they get applied to God

When an unfinished work comes before God thinking that God sees him as being perfect then he will be placing a barrier between himself and God.

Now what I’m saying may not come across to you as the “Word and Love of Yeshua” but there is no other way for me to explain why this teaching is no good and what the consequences are resulting from the belief of this popular Christian doctrine.

The 7th day Sabbath is a way to show the Creator that I love Him and a spiritual and physical training tool to show me how I should behave every day of the week.

Yes…. I believe most Christians…tens of millions believe that… You’re certainly not alone. It’s a very dominant Christian belief. When God sees Christians He sees His perfect Son therefore He sees millions of them as being perfect. Even though when His first-born Son walked the earth He said, “Go, tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.’"

I wonder at what point of dilapidation within that perfect veneer of Christ will God start to see the Christian as a little imperfect.

You are very clever with words. My understanding, and the understanding of many others holds up quite well in the face of your words. Many people believe many things. This point is not going to effect anyone's salvation unless some want it to. I understand that you are one of the few who understand what others do not, and this is your choice.

Jesus, Yeshua, walked the earth a perfect man. He was in the flesh, a man, but He walked in the state of perfection.

In some versions of the Word reference is made to His being perfected. This is in reference to His Body being glorified.

When He was here He obeyed the commandments, even observing the Sabbath of the Lord.

In obedience He was baptized by John in order to fulfill all righteousness, when a voice was heard from Heaven saying that He was the Beloved Son in Whom the Father was well pleased.

He was born perfect, He lived perfect (otherwise no one would be saved), and He was resurrected perfect.

As for the glorification of His Body, this too will pass for all who join Him in His Kingdom.
