Raising Children to delight in the Sabbath. Have you forgot what Bible says to remember?

Adventist Review ^ | 11/2/08 | Barbara Ann Kay

Our Creator, who made the Sabbath and blessed it, set the seventh day aside as a holy, happy day. Jesus wants us to find delight in His day, and to make Sabbath the best day of the week for our children. The easiest way to do this is to spend time out in nature, God’s first book.

[JNRoberts]

The Sabbath is God's memorial to creation. You can't change it or do away with it. It was made for man before he ever sinned so please don't tell me it's Jewish, or that it was a ceremonial law. Save your breath. I have researched it and I will embarrass you if you try to argue such. :) Plus it rebukes evolution and a counterfeit system of religion.

Blessings.

Do you use the American Calendar that starts on Sunday or the European Calendar that starts on Monday?

Save your breath. I have researched it and I will embarrass you if you try to argue such..

Then why did you post this on a public forum?

Ok, I won't...

Are there any "non-chat" chat forums where non-discussions would be more appropriate?

Honoring the Sabbath for our family is to just stay home and rest.

That in itself is a change these days, but one my family enjoys and misses when we don’t do it.

[JNRoberts]

To show how children can be blessed by the Sabbath.

I use the same calender (weekly cycle days) that the Jews have been using since God almighty was leading him to the promised land.

And the same calender Jesus used when he upheld the Sabbath and said he made it for man.

I figure God’s (Jesus) determination of what the weekly cycle is might be better than what some Govt. leaders in Europe think.

Wow, it must be kind of crinkly and faded by now.

[JNRoberts]

I just said if you want to debate whether the seventh day Sabbath is still the seventh day.....I’ll embarrass you. It was just a warning.

I’m up for it if you want but I wouldn’t if I was you.....:)

[JNRoberts]

Yeah....Bibles (my calender) get that way when you actually read and study them.

Colossians 2:16-17 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come …

Galatians 4:10-11 You are observing special days and months and seasons and years! I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you.

Romans 14:5-6: One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord.

Romans 7:6: “But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.”

Save your breath. I guess.

Christ became our Sabbath and in HIM we rest each and every day. Furthermore prove it that you know that our Saturday of this day is the Sabbath of yesteryear!!!

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

I am not an advesntist, but the moral principle of one day in seven belonging to the Lord for his worship is eternal just as much as the other nine items in the decalogue. In other words, we don't say that Christ is our obedience to our parents, that would be absurd. Furthermore, the principle of a day of rest in embedded in human nature. Cultures that nothing to do with the Bible maintain the principle.

However, Christ is the reality of the Sabbath in the sense that we find our true and eternal rest in the finished work of Christ.

The issue of the change of the observance of the Sabbath is another issue that might best be addressed at another time. Suffice it to say that since Christ is God, he has the right to direct how and when he is to be worshipped. Peace, out.

Amen! Matthew 11 and 12 need to be reread!

For anyone else, here is an excellent treatment of the subject. Of course, JNRoberts has already made up his or her mind...but the rest of you might find this enlightening.

History and NT teaching on the Sabbath

[Goldsborough]

So, was there a Sabbath before the Ten Commandments were handed down?

Just as Christ became the Passover for one and all time, He as well became our REST or Sabbath each and every day... That does not mean to set aside one day to pray and study is a flesh act of Sabbath keeping in the vain in which it was designed. Genesis is where the LORD rested the 7th day, after 6 days of work and then the 7th was hallowed in the 10 Commandments. However, Christ came not to change the law but to fulfill and HE became our Sabbath each and every day not just one.

Again given how much the calender has been played with no one can with a Godly certainty claim that our Saturday is the original seventh day... Interesting isn't it that Saturday is named after the planet Saturn.... and who is that planet linked with..

IF a person chooses to live their life observing Saturday at Sabbath I am not saying NO that is their choice. However to claim it Biblical is JUST not so.
