He upholds the universe by the word of His power. He has been given all authority by the Father. He is Lord of all. That would include being Lord of every day.
Right?!
The passage is "For the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.” It's not "He is Lord of the Sabbath... to the exclusion of all other days."
I mean, can you imagine thinking that Jesus is not Lord on Tuesdays?
We have too many with too little understanding of Jesus. No wonder people have lost their sense of awe.Right?!

Nope I am not, just wondering if the Father was.
since Christ and the Father invented and created Time, that makes Him Lord of every split second as well.
Lots of ways to look at things.
I want to understand thing as God understands them
Well, I certainly agree with most if your comments. There is no question that she devoted her life to God and was an unbelievably prolific writer despite having no formal education.
There is one important thing I would respectfully ask you to consider… and unfortunately, it disagrees with the SDA’s interpretation (but again, it is an interpretation and not something that harms one’s salvation).
Please consider the reformation. As you know, this was a terrible time for the RCC. They may have felt like they were being pummeled from all sides. Many attacked them for their pompous words and practices and blasphemous beliefs - divinity of the pope, forgiveness of sins, way to salvation, indulgences, and worship of saints, Nary and idols, and many more…
They certainly took a real beating throughout Europe and lost many, many church members, status and power throughout the world.
Well, after completing a commentary on Daniel and perhaps 70% of Revelation, I am convinced that this “reformation” represents the “deadly wound” found in Revelation. And as you know, they were severely wounded or disgraced throughout the Christian world.
But I I’m also understand that this “deadly wound” was indeed healed as told in Revelation. There was only one reason this deadly wound was healed - it was entirely due to the efforts and practices of the “earth beast.”
It was this earth beast who came to rescue and restore the image and powers of this “sea beast “ - the papacy.
So, who came to their rescue and did anything they could to reverse that deadly wound? The earth beast is none other than the Jesuit order.
They began at this time and would stop at nothing to raise up the papacy to its pre- reformation status- and even greater ways.
Thanks.
Too late I'm dead.
Actually, I clicked on a post and it was yours and I don't know how to delete a post.
I'm very relieved to hear you are ok....
If you had put some punctuation marks and other random items, it would have looked like you were cussin' me out.... like they used to show in the comic strips.....
Right?!

Paul Said 14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him
the prophecy states, 2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: (rugged)
he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, [there is] no beauty that we should desire him.
that picture is NOT Jesus Christ, Thank God!!! HE is not some long haired "pretty fellow"!
He was a rugged 'out doors' builder, not some pretty xxxxx, that never got his pretty little hands dirty.
he had two home most likely He built,
Sorry, pictures like that one, turn me off completely
Enough. You live under the law, I will live by grace. I am already spiritually in heaven. That's whateth Christ has doneth for meth.
I do not live by or because of grace, I live because my debt to sin has been paid in full. thus; I have the down payment, the Holy Spirit,
my guarantee of eternal life ---- only because of the sacrifice of my Passover.
My Father, in His kindness and Agape, while I was sinning up a storm so to speak, sent His Son to die for me. Me, a hater of all thing righteous and good. That is the Grace/Kindness of God.
While I was an unrepentant sinner, my Father called me to follow Christ, to follow what my Savior tells me I must do, so I can live forever, live for ever and never sin ever again, never paying the price for sin physically, pain and suffering and spiritually, eternal death!!
I was not searching for Christ, never entered my mind. hated church.
My reward is here on earth, I will assist the KING of Kings in ruling earth, no heaven for me or some rapture either, I am waiting for the better resurrection.
I know you can not understand that I am no longer under the Law, I live by it, as did and does Christ, but Christ paid my debt so I am no longer under the penalty of death.
Christ has shown me how to LOVE the HOLY RIGHTEOUS Law and enjoy all the wonderful benefits it offers. peace, happiness contentment, no fear on and on.
those not observing the law, are under it.
either one is lawful or unlawful, no in between.
It sounds like you are almost "pitying" the Roman Church, for the Protestant Reformation.
No ! The Jesuit Order, is the main military order of the AntiChrist, ( NOT a beast ) (Along with the Knights of Malta) Secretly controlling world affairs, from behind the scenes, since they were formed in 1540, as part of the "counter reformation". On a Propaganda campaign these almost 500 years
The deadly wound was healed when Benito Mussolini in 1920, reinstated the Vatican as a State Power again, ( A Beast, again)
I don't mean to be unfriendly or rude, but I REALLY can't spend the time, here in the CC that I use to during this last Winter. My large garden is taking up much of my free time. I'm retired from the 8-5 grind for almost 25 years now, and the Lord has me working with the local brethren, teaching gardening, food preserving, wilderness ( camping ) skill, general survival skill for this "Time of Trouble" that we Adventist know is about to come upon the World. Wars, Starvation, Pestilence, weather calamities, you know, the usual "End of Days" stuff... Right here before our King Jesus returns to claim His Remnant Church ~~>>
Revelation 12:17 (KJV), which states: "And the dragon (Satan) was wroth with the woman, ( we, the Church) and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."
Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: ( The Church ) here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Let me direct you to some Adventism 101 Last Days teaching since you seem to have an interest in TRUE Bible End Time Prophecy, rather than this garbage interpretation that modern Dispensational Nominal Christianity spews, deceiving and misleading the general population, into complacency and misdirection. ( Just where Satan would have us ) = unaware ! & Asleep !

Eh, we can know we are saved and therefore, believing Scripture, we are seated with Christ already as per Ephesians 2:6...
There is absolutely no sympathy or empathy for the RCC.... I certainly could have given that sentence a much stronger impression, but I think the overall post worked out. Now, regarding the Jesuit Order, I am comfortable with this interpretation. A couple of important issues is the perfect timing of the "Order," the methods they would employ thoughout Europe and especially South America to restore the image of the sea beast (RCC). And also, they are not a secular power, but a religious power established for one purpose - to restore the image of the papacy throughout the world - by any means necessary. I am familiar with the SDA interpretation but it is incorrect. They have attempted to identify secular powers in many of the time prophecies in the later chapters of Daniel and as well here. The sea beast and the earth beast work together as one religious political power against the true gospel of Jesus - God is not bringing into His plan of salvation a secular power or powers. These beasts will go against His Word, His church, His people and God Himself. The identification of a power in our history books was considered the SDA interpretation only because they found a secular event during a certain time in our history books they could attach to the earth beast.
Man does not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God
From Matthew 4 verse 4 Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.
