Why is this on the News/Activism forum, rather than the Religion forum? No need to answer, was just wondering.
Welcome to Free Republic. You join just to present this tome?
The Christ I know would rather be concerned about what I believe and how I act to my fellow human beings than what day of the week I keep aside for Him.
No idea... Must be a mistake.
for later read.
Not really, I thought it was an interesting topic though. I mean God did say that the sabbath was on the seventh day (Saturday)
FRESH MEAT!
Deu 5:2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
Now pay ATTENTION TO THE NEXT VERSE!
******
Deu 5:3 The LORD made NOT THIS COVENANT with our FATHERS, but with US, [even] us, who [are] all of us here alive this day. ...
*****
...Deu 5:12 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee.
Deu 5:13 Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:
Deu 5:14 But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.
Deu 5:15 And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and [that] the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.
Interesting web page. Not a mention of Jesus. Just sabbath, sabbath, sabbath,
As the SDA preacher said a few years ago, "You are saved by grace IF you keep the sabbath."
I call it heresy.
Oh, bu the way, welcome to Free Republic!
You beter come with GRIT TEETH!
Welcome. You'll find a number of us that still believe that God meant what he said when he made his sabbath day holy and commanded his followers to observe it.
What about The Catholic Bible....and the the Protestant Bible? They both say He arose "on" the Sabbath.
Do you observe all the Sabbaths or just the seventh day?
No. Neither say that.
I observe all the days God designated as Sabbaths.
I think you dodged the question. Name the other days that He designated that you observe. And believe me, there were others.
No dodging, just being concise. The first and last days of the days of unleavened bread, Pentecost, Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement and the first and 8th days of the feast of tabernacles are all designated by God as sabbaths and are what I observe as sabbaths.
Both translations say "in the "end" of the Sabbath" and verse 6 goes on to say (past tense) He is risen.
What do you think it says?
Ping
The NKJV and the NIV both say after the Sabbath was ended. Never the less, Mark reports that these same two women purchased spice to annoint his body after the Sabbath had ended (Mark 16:1). The stores would have been closed until after the Sabbath had ended. The next morning we find the same women going to the tomb Mark 16:2) wandering who would take away the stone (Mark 16:2). This account is also confirmed by both Luke (Luke 24:1) and John (John 20:1). Now, why, if They witnessed Jesus resurrection on the Sabbath, as you want to claim, did they purchase the spices after the Sabbath and return to the tomb the next morning?
