Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it; because that in it he rested from all his work which God had created and made.

Is your faith on the Seventh day including what God has made holy?

There is nothing wrong with other Sabbaths, but there is only one that is hallowed by
God and to be kept separate.

It is not to be made common by the will of men; this is holding man's word over
the Word of God, and this should not be done.

So why do you suppose when God did this, upon creation's finish, it is different from
other days? I know, but this is only because I believe God.

God bless all on this Sabbath of the Lord. God bless all on your first day sabbath from Rome.

Every day speaks of Christ to me. My faith is not in a day. My faith is in Christ Himself who is our true Sabbath rest. All of creation and the scriptures speak of Christ Himself.

Genesis 2:3 is a shadow or type of Christ Himself as is the Sabbath as outlined in the law of Moses.

Every day is the true Sabbath because every day is in Christ as He is Lord of the Sabbath.

Where did the Messiah teach us that? Like I don't mean using different verses to propose this idea. Because I read the Messiah Teaching us to Keep even the least Commandment and Teach others to do so and to Love GOD with all our being and our neighbour as ourself... GOD states those that Love Him Keep His Commandments. So the Messiah's Testimony affirms this and instructs this . We are to Believe Him above all else. So if you have a direct instruction to share of the Messiah's then please show us clearly?

Can you give me the part of His Testimony that states this?

YOu have deflected the subject of whether or not the Seventh Day is brought to mind. Jesus Christ is with me every day, but His Word is very specific uponwhich day is the Seventh, and also, providing we read all of the Word, we do see the futre in the seven days of creation and rest.

You have a great need and drive to correct what the Word is saying when what the Word is saying is in plain words.

When I repeate, God made the SEventh Day to be hallowed, I know I am correct, because God says so, not I.

You may go on in a very sad path of being able to redirect teh meaning of words even though mistaken. It is much more "restful" to have faith in what God teachew, what He says.

I think my thinking surpasses yours.

I believe all named denominations are sects.

I believe all who believe Jesus Christ as did Abraham are of One Body, that being the Body of Christ. I even like to call Him Yeshua, my accent, just as did all of His acquaintances , His Disciples and His Family.

Does this make my faith better than others who love Jesus christin spirit and truth? Nope, but at least I know in His dight I am not in error when I pass this all on to others.

I believe if you and I believe Jesus Christ, we are of the faith of Abraham........not a denomination, truth in living.

Its a cult because they have one leader, prophetess Ellen G.White and consider their writings to be inspired on the same level as Scriptures are.

So its on the same level as the mormonism or Jehovah's Witnesses are.

This is my point. God made teh Seventh Day and made it to be kept separated from common work days. There is meaning in this that shouts to most, and it has nothing to do with SDA-

I want all to be clear on this point when I post. I believe there are family members in all denominations, all, including some that are most questionable. I believe this because of what God teaches is in the Word with strange warnings.

For instance God say so what if I jusify the ungodly. I realize this applies to all who have sinned, but this may also apply to those who seem to be antichrist yet are in truth of God.

We are taught to judge with right judgement and never by appearances. If we cannot get past appearances, then, it is impssible for us to have right judgment.

Keep always in mind that when we judge, and we are commanded to byJesus Christ, we are to judge only "for ourselves" what is right and never judge others to condemnation. This honor and duty has not been converred upon us.

Please do not use this thread as a podium to attack any one denomination..... the thread is not here for this purpose but to spread God's truth.

I believe they mean well but in effect they are exchanging Christ Himself for the Law and their "observing of it".

They read the Old Testament through the eyes of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. All scripture speaks about Christ Himself and things in the Old Testament are types and shadows of Christ Himself.

Colossians 2:16-17 (NASB)
[SUP]16 [/SUP] Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day—

[SUP]17 [/SUP] things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.

Going back to live by the Law is committing spiritual adultery on the Lord.

Romans 7:4 (NASB)
[SUP]4 [/SUP] Therefore, my brethren, you also were made to die to the Law through the body of Christ,
so that you might be joined to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God.

I am not affiliated with sda.. and will not speak on the members behalf they are better placed to address your concern.


I speak from from the heart and share freely and certainly not looking to lead anyone anywhere other than to the Truth of GOD.

i know there are many different belief systems but I have a duty and will continue in spite of rejection.. it is not my Truth but Heavenly Father's through His Son's Testament our New Covenant with GOD.

All who believe Jesus Christ will suffere persecution.

When we come to believe we will be given good works by means of the HOly Spirit. All who have received the HOly Spirit know this is true.

It is a joy to serve God, afdter all besides His adoped children we are His servants. And what do servants do, children too for that matter? They obey the Master and work when given the work to do.

If you wish to remain ignorant of obedience under grace, sobeit, but do not drag others who are in Christ off of the true path.

Since I have come to know Jesus Christ, He has given me plenty of work to do, and I truly enjoy obeyinng HIm according to what He has tught me.

If any have yet to have learned obedience and the law as taught by Jesus Christ, it is wise and advisable that you not discuss the law as if it were stupidity and corrupt, because Jesus has taught how it is to be understood, after having completed the proohets and teh law for me and for all who understand His Word.

I feel very sorry for those who rest every moment because they believe they have already entered into their eternal rest. I guess these people are impervious to sweating also.

Actually in the Law which speaks of Christ - the priests were to wear linen garments so that they wouldn't sweat.

But God had a very compelling reason why He chose linen found here in this curious passage in Ezekiel 44. I have capitalized a few word for emphasis.

Ezekiel 44:17 &18

"When they (the priests) come through the gates of the inner open space, they will be dressed in LINEN clothing. They must NOT wear any WOOL while they are serving inside the gates of the inner open space or in the house.

18 They will wear LINEN head-coverings (turbans) and LINEN underclothes. They must not dress in anything that makes their bodies wet with heat.(SWEAT)

God is concerned that His priests...US.....not sweat. Why? Because GOD HATES SWEAT!!!, or at least, what it represents. It was part of the curse from the garden.

Working or the "doing of things in order to achieve" - it's called self-righteousness.

We rest in Christ's work on the cross and resurrection and in that rest - we work with the Lord in and through us by the Holy Spirit.

Resting in Christ means that we are not inactive as some would suppose - but we have a Holy Spirit directed lifestyle of showing the love and grace of our loving Father and Lord to others in the world.

Resting in Christ is our faith in action.

Resting in Christ is our obedience of faith.

Resting in Christ is our spiritual warfare

You are talking about 1 of the 10 commandments right? If ya are, then, as Jesus said to the scribes and pharasee's: "Was man created for the sabbath?...Or was the sabbath created FOR man? As with all the "law" or, Torah; tis merely "terminology". People think of these as "laws" or commandments. When in reality? They are "Conditions"! God saying, "I shall (further) Strive (long suffer) with your rebellious spirit/s and flesh, And, be your GOD, and, will dwell amongst you, and, you will be "my people"!......IF, you keep these CONDITIONS! As was written further down the line, so to speak, That, didn't work out so well for Israel.

If you are talking about "when GOD rested" after His creation? To me, anyways, that's some "pretty lofty" thinking...isn't it?

We are discussing the Seventh Day, not your rest, real or imagined. Again, the verse in discussion.

Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it; because that in it he rested from all his work which God had created and made.

Man cannot change the order of creation, it is a reality that cannot be changed.......

My op is neither on the law nor on the Sabbath, not strictly on it. I am reminding the flesh that it is God Who made and ordered the days of creation.

Anyone calling any other day of the week other than the Seventh day is calling God in error, or worse, stupid.

Flesh cannot change this order of creation which is a reflection of time while it will last.

Few understand this, and would rather argue over what day to go to church than to understand the meaning of the Seventh Day.

Some come in saying "Sinner, that is the law," an oxymoron in itself. Others say "I am resting and there is not more to be said," not considering our Father still works and we must do as He, just as we are instructed to be as muc like Jesus christ as we are given to be able.

The worst ones are those with no understanding telling those who do that they are under the law....whast hypocrites, imposing their own rules in place of the will of God..... I pray all see the light come time for them. Blessed be Jesus christ, amen.

I am not sure what you are saying...

"Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, "So I declared on oath in my anger, 'They shall never enter my rest.'" And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world.
For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: "On the seventh day God rested from all his works."
Therefore since it still remains for some to enter that rest, and since those who formerly had the good news proclaimed to them did not go in because of their disobedience
...
For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.
There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God, for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his."
(Heb 4, NIV)

I think its quite clear that we enter the 7th day rest by resting from our works in Jesus Christ. Who is disobedient to the good message, is still waiting for entering the rest.

And you said you are very sorry for those who think they already entered...

Your reply was too quick to have truly considered my intent.

I did not say you are stupid. You have said it.
