***That's why. Because the Lord, Jesus Christ, made the heaven, earth, sea and all that is in it and BLESSED and MADE HOLY the sabbath day.

Show me where the Lord, Jesus Christ, ever UNBLESSED or made UNHOLY the sabbath day.****





Rom 14:2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.


Rom 14:3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.


Rom 14:4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.


Rom 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.


Rom 14:6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth [it] unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard [it]. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.


Does God close his ears six days a week?

There's a few big problems with your theory here:

1. Paul never mentions "sabbath". If he were changing a scriptural commandment from the Lord Jesus Christ that had been observed by God's people for centuries, then I would think that he would have to pretty clear.
2. If Paul were saying that he had decided that the sabbath was no longer holy or blessed than it passed completely without controversy in scripture. Compare that to circumcision. 3. Paul never says that the sabbath is no longer holy or no longer blessed. Nor does Jesus Christ.
4. Paul believed in the sabbath:

Act 24:14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:

The sabbath commandment is certainly written in the law and prophets and Paul certainly believed in it.
5. The chapter is about eating and drinking. It's probably dealing with issues such as which days to fast and whether or not one should eat meat that had been used in pagan sacrifices.

You're simply doing what every other person does who wishes to disobey Jesus Christ. You're interpreting scripture based upon your belief, rather than basing your belief upon scripture.

Of course not. Don't be ridiculous. (Bronson Pinchot quote)

Oh, yeah, check this out:

Rom 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

It says "one man" esteemeth, it doesn't say "God doest not esteemeth one day above another". Also, "let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind" sounds a little like:

Phi 2:12 So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling;
Phi 2:13 for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
