I understand that you believe that it is a violation of the 4th commandment. I'm asking you IF others don't believe or adhere what are the consequences of continuing to violate this law?? Do they or could they lose their salvation for willingly continue NOT adhering? PLease tell me what the consequences are.
Thank you.
Ok, I will try to respond to post #33 by LadyLynn and your post #34.
This will probably not go over well, but...
I was a part of Sunday church for many years.
While researching another topic, I was exposed to some teachers who said that we should be honoring the 7th day Sabbath, and that people attend church now on Sunday, primarily because the Roman Catholic Church changed the day.
I spent the following weeks in intense study, losing a lot of sleep, trying to refute these teachers. I could not. They are right.
The next 12 months or so was a whirlwind of... uhm... troubles(?).
I don't like the word "troubles" very much, because I would do it all again for the treasure I have found.
So, maybe sometimes, in heated discussion, I may take things a little too far. I do apologize for that. I can't apologize for keeping the 4th commandment.
What happens when a person knowingly violates the Sabbath commandment? I am not sure. They are still under grace for sure, but according to my interpretation of 1John3.4, it is a sin if a person knowingly violates a commandment.
(I am trying to go slow here)
I believe grandma and grandpa, and many generations before, did not have a clear knowledge of why we worship on Sunday.
Many people still don't. I have put many hours into this topic.
I believe we are in a time when things are being revealed, (not so much that they were hidden), but they were hidden in plain sight. Daniel told us in the last days, knowledge will increase. I believe that prophecy has many layers and many manifestations.
So, here I am. A believer in Yeshua HaMashiach, my Savior.
and an observer of Torah. (at least the parts of Torah that are applicable to me).
Does that mean I fully understand all the laws and apply them perfectly? Of course not.
Does that mean I am condemning everyone who doesn't see it the way I see it? No. not intentionally anyway. although I get carried away sometimes.
Anyway, enough for now. hope this helps.
