So BT you wouldn't just answer the simple questions? Sad for you man...I will pray for you...since you live BY the Law you will be judged BY the Law...indeed you (like all) have fallen short and will be found wanting. I know I have (no need to continuously remind me) but I have died in Christ and now He lives in me...and that is what constitutes my eager expectation of glory...not my many good works and attempts at keeping the law (which though I did well I still fell short)...only what He has done on my behalf will I place my trust in. If you feel this is not enough that what He began in the Spirit He now throws back onto you in your flesh, then have at it...and when you stand before Him you can rightly say "Haven't I done this and haven't I done that?" Why are you unable to trust in Christ alone and His finished work? Is it so difficult to believe the death, burial, and resurrection were sufficient for your sins? He did this all for you, to accomplish for you, what you can never accomplish for yourself. I am sorry I am disallowed from extending peace unto you...goodbye sir!
Brother Paul...you are a Sunday worshipper, you do the things that Christ do not do, or never did. You have to learn to follow the Bible...Christ. In the scriptures its written... In (Ex.31:16-17). If you're a stranger (Non-Israelite), you must also keep the Lord's Sabbath day. "Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the Lord, to serve him, and to love him, to be his servants, every one of them that keepth the Sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; Even them will I bring to my Holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar: for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people." (Isaiah 56:6-7). Even in this day, any Christian not honoring the customs of the Lord is to be cut off from among "The Church" (Israel). "Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us." (2Thes 3:6). People, keeping the Sabbath day is apart of that tradition.
We all know that the Sabbath day consist of 24 hours, as all days do. However it is important that we understand that the Lord begins the day with the evening, "And God called the light day, and the darkness was called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day." (Gen 1:5). Man begins the day at 12:01 am, so, there is about a six hour difference from sundown (beginning of the day) to midnight. In other words, the seventh day begins Friday at evening, instead of, midnight Friday; thus, the seventh day is sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. As we tend to keeping the whole law of God, we must, also remember to observe the whole day of rest.
Prophecy declared that we would forget to keep the Sabbath holy.
"Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy", is what the Lord commands us in the "Ten Commandments", see Ex.20:8-11.Yes, the world has forgotten to sanctify the Sabbath and that is the reason why we (the world) are in such a terrible state today.
"The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, change the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the cursed devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left." (Isaiah 24:5-6).
Let this scripture encourage us not to be "Covenant breakers" and learn how we are to honor the Sabbath by keeping it holy and a sacred day. Men and women of Israel and all that fear God, if we want eternal life in Jesus' Kingdom, and favor with God and man here on earth, we must be Christians, and rejoice in his Sabbath on the Sabbath (7th day).
Listen, people, read your bibles, hear the word of God, take hold of His covenant and follow the example that he has set for us.
