I hope we can have a civil discussion on this topic, I assure you I am a sincere believer, simply trying to clarify things I have learned...(Flame on)
Very Nicely done, much appreciated
Not gonna happen with this Commandment! Jesus kept the 7th Day Sabbath. His Apostles kept the 7th Day Sabbath. The church kept the 7th Day Sabbath until Constantine took over the church in the 4th Century. The RCC changed the Sabbath to Sunday, "the Lords day. The reasons came from Romans forced to become Christians and they worshiped their Sun god on Sunday.
Somebody needs to explain how you can be forced to believe in Jesus and be a Christian.
Soon after that the Leviticus 23 Feasts Days of the Lord were outlawed and Easter and Christmas were introduced to keep following their pagan gods.
If you reject the 7th Day Sabbath, all the prophesies dealing with that will be lost to Christianity. I haven't done a count on the number of times God reminded His people to "keep the Sabbath Holy", but it is numerous. God was telling His people that the earth will last 6000 years and the 7th millennium will be our time of rest for 1000 years with Christ ruling the earth with an iron rod.
Read 2 Peter 3:8. What Peter was telling us is he was just describing scoffers in the Last Days and the Flood came when no one was looking. Noah knew! God is telling His people that He will return in the year 6000. It is now approximately 5780 on the Jewish calendar. It could be off a few years due to slavery and no temple for awhile to keep an accurate calendar.
The Whore of Babylon changed the calendar from the Biblical calendar to the Julian and Gregorian calendar. The pope said he had more power than Jesus and could do what he wanted. By not watching the Leviticus 23 days, Christians won't be "watching" for the Return of Jesus because they think they can't know. Confusing them further with eggs, rabbits, and fertility gods makes it worse. Passover and Easter NEVER occur on the same day. Read about Tammuz in Eze 8 for the abominations described there. "Easter" is just Astarte translated to English.
Modern Christian arguments about "It doesn't matter what day we set aside for worship" for get that it is a Commandment. Do we have only 9 Commandments? Are we able to freely commit adultery to lie and steal? For the ones that say the Apostles met on the first day of the week so that's church, I say they met often on all days of the week, but as Jewish Believers they kept the Sabbath holy also. For those that claim that Jesus rose on Sunday so that's the "new" holy day, that is why God told us to celebrate First Fruits.
The church of Babylon changed the day and there are several passages in Scripture about Babylon. It's a "whore" because it worships other gods. They worship people, like Mary and Peter. They worship statues and relics. There are no popes and cardinals and nuns in Scripture and they are all forbidden to marry.
1Ti 4:1 Now the Ruach clearly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, following deceitful spirits and teachings of demons
1Ti 4:2 through the hypocrisy of false speakers—whose own conscience has been seared.
1Ti 4:3 They forbid people to marry; they command people to abstain from foods that God created for the faithful to share with thanksgiving, having come to know the truth.
Paul teaches that this is a sign of "doctrines of demons".
Almost everything a Catholic believes is contradicted in Scripture. It is the church at Thyatira in Revelation.
Why would a devoted Christian change his Sabbath on the say so of a man? There is NOT ONE Scripture that abandons the 7th Day Sabbath. You are just following the dictates of a false prophet from the Babylon church.
Today's church would look more like the Messianic Jewish Church if you follow Scripture. Anything else is a sign of antisemitism. The Spirit of Antichrist has been on the earth since Jesus walked here.
3Jn 1:9 I wrote something to Messiah’s community, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, doesn’t welcome us.
Here is Greek that won't allow John, the one Jesus loved, to speak in his church.
If you say you have been "adopted" or "grafted in", what have you been grafted into or adopted into? We have been adopted into God's Family, Israel! If you hate Jews, you hate your brothers! Israel was commanded by Moses to observe the Sabbath in the Wilderness.The Leviticus 23 Feast Days start with the command to observe the Sabbath. The 10 Commandments speak of the Sabbath. Joshua reminded them to observe the Sabbath in the New Land. There are literally dozens of reminders throughout Scriptures to keep the Sabbath. The Babylonian church started by Nimrod changed it to Sunday. I will follow God.
Everyone has to be convicted on what their belief system is. It took decades for me to be convicted, but after teaching home Bible Study for years, I kept running across Scripture telling me to keep the Sabbath holy. I finally figured out God was serious.
Now I want to speak about something I can't prove in Scripture. Reading all these verses on the Sabbath, one verse said Sabbath keepers would be a sign to God. I looked up the Strong's for "Sign" and one definition was "Marked." If The Antichrist will mark his people, can the mark of God be Sabbath keepers? I hope we know that the Jews will be marked for extermination in the Last Days when a 200 million man army lines up with Israel. Will Sunday worship mark the Babylon church? Babylon doesn't fare well against the wrath of God.
