Puzzled, Why Not Talk to God About the Sabbath?

Adopted yes, treated any differently, no*.

Romans 9:6-8, "However, it is not as though Yahweh's plan had failed. For it is not everyone who is a descendant of Israyl who belongs to Israyl. Nor, just because they are his descendants, are they all Abraham's children; but: In Isaac will your seed be called. That is, it is not those who are the children of the flesh who are Yahweh's children; but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham's seed."

Psalm 105:6-9, "O seed of Abraham His servant, You children of Yaaqob, His chosen ones! He is Yahweh our Father! His judgments are in all the earth. He has remembered His covenant forever, the Law He commanded for a thousand generations; Which He made; ratified, established, with Abraham, and vowed by His oath to Isaac. He confirmed it; let it stand, to Yaaqob for a Law, and to Israyl for an everlasting covenant."

Galations 3:28,29, "Is there not the Yahdai as well as the Greek; Gentile? Is there not the slave as well as the freeman? Is there not the male and the female? For all of you must be in unity in Yahshua Messiah. And if you are in Messiah, then you are a seed of Abraham, heirs according to the promise."

*Numbers 15:15-16, "One ordinance shall be for you of the congregation, and for the stranger who sojourns with you, as an ordinance forever throughout your generations. As you are, so shall the stranger be in front of Yahweh. One Law and one manner shall be for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you."

 

[Karraster]

It appears you have greatly misunderstood all of chapter 7 and of course would fail to comprehend 8. Why stop at
Rom. 8:8? Paul goes on with his case.
Romans 9:31-33 (KJV)
[SUP]31 [/SUP] But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
[SUP]32 [/SUP] Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
[SUP]33 [/SUP] As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Believe upon Jesus, not the law. The law is spiritual, but is not the Holy Spirit, nor is it Christ, nor can it save anyone. If it could save then all Israel would have been saved. Paul lamented over their great loss.

Romans 10:1-13 (KJV)
[SUP]1 [/SUP] Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
[SUP]2 [/SUP] For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
[SUP]3 [/SUP] For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
[SUP]4 [/SUP] For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
[SUP]5 [/SUP] For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
[SUP]6 [/SUP] But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above
[SUP]7 [/SUP] Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
[SUP]8 [/SUP] But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
[SUP]9 [/SUP] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
[SUP]10 [/SUP] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
[SUP]11 [/SUP] For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
[SUP]12 [/SUP] 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.
[SUP]13 [/SUP] For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

It goes on and on, and the truth prevails in the other epistles. If a person is serving the law, then one cannot serve Christ. Christ is not there tending the Law. The priesthood of the Law is not over there obeying it. Christ died to it and lives on the free side of it. It is abolished in Him, for God's holiness followed that of Christs. It's still holy, still good, but righteousness by faith is far better.

Your quest is futile.

Futile to obey the One who died for us? Futile to be a sold out bond servant of Messiah? Futile to be a slave to righteousness and not a slave to sin? Futile to live a righteous and holy life by the grace of Almighty? What? You think grace is given to live your life as if Messiah never came?

Messiah is alive! If He is in you, it is by His power you do His will. He says it's not hard. Read it believe it.

 

[Mitspa]

Well I guess that is between myself and Yah, however that does not change the truth of the Scripture. oh and BTW its not up to you if I have sinned against my Father, it is up to Him.

Acts 17:30-31, “In the past Yahweh winked at such ignorance, but now He commands all men everywhere to repent! For He has appointed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness, by a Man whom He has ordained; and He has given evidence to everyone by raising Him from the dead.”

Romans 2:12, "For as many as have sinned without the Law, will also perish without the Law, and as many as have sinned in the Law, will be judged by the Law."

John 12:48, "He who rejects Me, and does not follow My words has One Who judges him. The word that I have spoken, the same will be used to judge him in the last day."

So you tell others they have to keep the law ...and admit you don't and don't even try to keep the Sabbath. and Then when someone ask you why you don't you just say God don't judge me like He does everybody else? So everybody else is under the law and has to keep it but you have a special deal where you can just kinda keep whatever you feel like and then preach to others about how they need to keep the law? Do you not see a problem with that sort of attitude?

 

[Mitspa]

Futile to obey the One who died for us? Futile to be a sold out bond servant of Messiah? Futile to be a slave to righteousness and not a slave to sin? Futile to live a righteous and holy life by the grace of Almighty? What? You think grace is given to live your life as if Messiah never came?

Messiah is alive! If He is in you, it is by His power you do His will. He says it's not hard. Read it believe it.

Now explain how you keep the Sabbath again ...because I must have missed it?

 

[Word_Swordsman]

You stand on Paul, your ONE witness. (that has been mistranslated in your Rom 10:4.)

I will stand on 2 or more witnesses, including the Messiah.

Paul trumps your quoting of old covenant terms, being instructed of the Holy Spirit in Him.

The old is abolished for Christians as explained yet another way in Galatians 2:14-21 (KJV)
[SUP]14 [/SUP] But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
[SUP]15 [/SUP] We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
[SUP]16 [/SUP] Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
[SUP]17 [/SUP] But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
[SUP]18 [/SUP] For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
[SUP]19 [/SUP] For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
[SUP]20 [/SUP] I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
[SUP]21 [/SUP] I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

When you keep taking it back to Moses, you reject the New Covenant terms, thereby negating justification in Christ, making yourself a sinner afresh.

 

[Word_Swordsman]

The Saturday sabbath is an ordinance of the Mosaic Law. Much of that Law has to do with it.

We Christians are dead to it in Christ. We are living under grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ, not by the letter of the Law, which kills both spirit and flesh. Keeping any old holy day is not a matter of faith, but of commandment to the Jews who received it. For Christians.....take a lesson from this: Romans 14:19-23 (KJV)
[SUP]19 [/SUP] Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
[SUP]20 [/SUP] For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
[SUP]21 [/SUP] It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
[SUP]22 [/SUP] Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
[SUP]23 [/SUP] And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

Now explain how you keep the Sabbath again ...because I must have missed it?

For years some folks have persisted in demanding observance of the Saturday sabbath. It has been my observation that the only congregations that actually practice the whole of it are false cult religions, like Armstrong. They won't light a fire in the stove during a blizzard.

Only boiling the Sabbath down to a particular day without observing all that God commanded about it is extreme hypocrisy.
If not done accurately, it's best to stop it altogether. They can't be in a restaurant eating then. They can't cook a meal, wash dishes, type on the internet, all unnecessary works. They break the sabbath if they stop a fire from burning the house down, only allowed to save lives out of it. Can't go to the woodpile, as carrying is prohibited. Just leaving the house is breaking the Sabbath.

Well, we know that by the time Jesus walked among men the priesthood had profaned all the Law, unrightly excusing and falsely accusing, twisting everything until Moses was shamed.

That is all dead. The New Covenant is sealed in Jesus' blood, the old abolished. The old was ratified in the blood of animals, having no power to save.

 

[Apostol2013]

1Co 7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God. Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
2Co 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
2Co 3:15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
2Co 3:16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
2Co 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
the vail was the sacrificial laws and rites wich in no way removed the righteous judgements of God even the books of hebrews speaks of this in chapter 7 and further look at what happens to the lawlwess Isa 66:20 And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.
Isa 66:21 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the LORD.
Isa 66:22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
Isa 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
Isa 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

Yea there is some very clear directions about keeping the Sabbath in the law and I would rather see these folks who claim to keep the law at least try to keep the standards prescribed in the law than this kinda half-hearted attempt that just almost completely ignores the true standards. And the ones on this forum basically don't go to work on Saturday... The point is that they cry "keep the law"!!! but they don't even make an honest attempt at what they are preaching to others! If they did they might figure this law and grace thing out? They might understand what the Lord means when He says "take My yoke upon you, for My yoke is easy (grace) and my burden is light (commandment to love) ...

 

[Word_Swordsman]

Adopted yes, treated any differently, no*.

Romans 9:6-8, "However, it is not as though Yahweh's plan had failed. For it is not everyone who is a descendant of Israyl who belongs to Israyl. Nor, just because they are his descendants, are they all Abraham's children; but: In Isaac will your seed be called. That is, it is not those who are the children of the flesh who are Yahweh's children; but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham's seed."

Psalm 105:6-9, "O seed of Abraham His servant, You children of Yaaqob, His chosen ones! He is Yahweh our Father! His judgments are in all the earth. He has remembered His covenant forever, the Law He commanded for a thousand generations; Which He made; ratified, established, with Abraham, and vowed by His oath to Isaac. He confirmed it; let it stand, to Yaaqob for a Law, and to Israyl for an everlasting covenant."

Galations 3:28,29, "Is there not the Yahdai as well as the Greek; Gentile? Is there not the slave as well as the freeman? Is there not the male and the female? For all of you must be in unity in Yahshua Messiah. And if you are in Messiah, then you are a seed of Abraham, heirs according to the promise."

*Numbers 15:15-16, "One ordinance shall be for you of the congregation, and for the stranger who sojourns with you, as an ordinance forever throughout your generations. As you are, so shall the stranger be in front of Yahweh. One Law and one manner shall be for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you."

I need to remind you that Abraham was not a Jew, but was a gentile. He had nothing to do with the Mosaic Law. That came 4 centuries later.

Israel is Israel. It is the land of the tribes of Israel. The laws of Moses were for that nation and all in their households, even strangers of the Commonwealth of Israel. As long as any of them adhere to the Law instead of Jesus their Messiah, they remain under that everlasting covenant. It's a matter of choice. Christians are under the New everlasting covenan, the one that saves souls.

As for Galatians 3:28-29, let's first go back to 3:16...with my own commentary in parentheses...
Galatians 3:16-29 (KJV)
[SUP]16 [/SUP] Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
[SUP]17 [/SUP] And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

(because it came after the promise)

[SUP]18 [/SUP] For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

(the promise came first, fulfilled in Christ after the Law)

[SUP]19 [/SUP] Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

(Jesus came)

[SUP]20 [/SUP] Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
[SUP]21 [/SUP] Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

(hence, the law couldn't do it, but Jesus, the substance of the Promise, did)

[SUP]22 [/SUP] But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

(not just them under the Law of Moses, including all the gentiles)

[SUP]23 [/SUP] But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

(what else was there? The promise awaited Jesus to come)

[SUP]24 [/SUP] Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

(There's the end purpose, the law fulfilled in Christ)

[SUP]25 [/SUP] But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

(lack faith? Then ye yet remain under the Law which cannot save)

[SUP]26 [/SUP] For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

(All Jews and gentiles who believe)

[SUP]27 [/SUP] For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

(that's the baptism Jesus came to give, not preaching John's baptism)

[SUP]28 [/SUP] There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

(assuming all conform to trusting the Lord and not the Law for salvation)

[SUP]29 [/SUP] And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

(not becoming a Jew, or being of Israel, but being of that promise made to Jesus, that promise shared by Abraham)

The Promise skipped over Israel because Israel rejected the seed of Abraham. The Promise skipped over the Law. The prophets warned them it was happening, and it did.

There is no saving virtue in leading anyone back to that which God put aside. It is now all Jesus Christ, or nothing.

It is satanic deception. That can't be held against anyone personally, as deception is by nature deceiving. All of it has been a great big excuse for lack of faith, which naturally drives people back to more familiar places, the Law.

Who is keeping sunday? Only those who are ignorant of biblical truth...But the true Church has always gathered on the first day of the week...just as the scriptures clearly show.


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.
Ac 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.
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.
