AheadMarket:JESUS is Greek word for Joshua, or any of its variants. Elias is Elijah, etc. I read all accounts. THE LIGHT SHINES IN THE DARKNESS, AND DARKNESS CAN NEVER WITHSTAND IT, IN JESUS NAME, AMEN. |

It grieves me to see christians engage in senseless arguments instead of focusing on other weightier matters. How does a worship day affect your salvation? When Christ died, resurrected and sat on the seat of honour, he made all things new. He established the New and did away with the Old. If one man considers any of the days to be holy, let him be. He does it to honour the Lord and it is to his credit. All days are holy to the Lord and that is why I can attend any church service whether fixed on monday, saturday or friday. Most denominations chose sunday as the main day of worship in honour of Christ's resurrection which is good. Some other folks chose saturday because they want to honour the sabbath which is also good but I can guarantee you that none of these mean you are serving God better than the other. I go to church on tuesday for bible study and other church functions on thursday. Does that mean I have sinned? Again, I perceive someone reasoning that bible study and prayer meetings are different from sunday service. Only actions born out of faith and love is required of Christians. What ever is done in faith and revelation is what makes our actions acceptable. Frankly speaking, all these confusion show that we are still dwelling in the shadow of the reality found in Christ. Col 2:16 "let no man judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ" KJV. 1 Like |

SABBATH is for JEWS only, and not for the whole world. JESUS the Messiah, or Christ in Greek, is the Lamb of God that takes away the SIN of the whole world. This difference between Judaism and Christianity is very clear. Non -Jews keeping Sabbath are just wasting their time. The Sabbath covenant doesn't cover them, so they strive to combine Old and New Covenants, or Testaments, like using new cloth to patch an old one. And it will never work. |

Some years back... Some preacher came around and started saying that "If you're a Christian and you still worship God in the church on Sunday and not Saturday, you're a sinner and you're doomed for hell." It almost resulted to an argument because they also used the scripture and their backup and said "Thou shal keep the sabbath day holy" ...I then opened Mark 2 and we started reading, after reading verse 27 and 28, I said to them "Man is a Lord over the sabbath." The sabbath day should not be an issue here if man has been made Lord over the sabbath. In as much Sunday have been officially declared a Worship, So be It since Man is a Lord over the sabbath If you also see Saturday as the sabbath day, It's also wonderful, the most important thing there is to seek the face of God and So long you have peace of mind, there's no problem The only thing I disagree with is "When you say Sunday or Saturday is the sabbath day and if you worship otherwise, you're a sinner." This mindset is very wrong. Which day you preferred, you're right. God still moves heavily in Saturdays Churches and also on Sunday Christianity is not a religion, It's a way of life... God help us! |

malvisguy212:Both God and Devil, in the manner the bible teaches, does not exist. No real atheist will agree that Devil exist but he believes in a power far greater than the universe itself. The atheist's problem with religion is that it believes in an arbitrary God. The atheist's problem with the bible is that it's a very Jewish book. The Bible is a good book but so is the Principia Mathematica or the works of William Shakespeare. |

freeze22: Now that you talk of Christ, here is what He expressed concerning the subject at hand; Romans 14:5-6 (KJV) One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. 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. Whatever you do, do as unto the Lord and you have your reward Colossians 3:23 (KJV) And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; So when I run into modern Pharisees with their nauseating holier-than-thou attitude, I pray that scales may fall off their eyes, that like Paul they may turn from the Law to serve the living Christ |

vooks: How about those who regard the grace of GOD as cheap grace, people who regard GOD'S grace as a license to continue in apostasy. I know your kind brother. Have you cared to read the previous verses prior to Romans 14:5,6 especially verse one were he talked about disputable matters? are the commandments of GOD disputable matters? was the word Sabbath mentioned in any of the verses? have you tried to establish a link between days and meats mentioned in the verses with other verses like Isaiah 58, to get the context? So how do you explain col 3:23? a license to do whatever you want as unto the LORD right? let me guess...emmm you can steal heartily unto the LORD right? did you say No?or maybe you can commit adultery heartily unto the LORD? No? How do you define sin? "Everyone who sins breaks the law, in fact, sin is lawlessness" 1John 3:4 |

freeze22:Paul says we should not sin so grace may abound. Have you cared to read the previous verses prior to Romans 14:5,6 especially verse one were he talked about disputable matters? are the commandments of GOD disputable matters? was the word Sabbath mentioned in any of the verses? have you tried to establish a link between days and meats mentioned in the verses with other verses like Isaiah 58, to get the context? Days and food are not 'disputable'. God is indifferent to these. Isaiah equally talks of New moons and not just sabbaths. Do you keep Jewish New moons? Of course you don't. Why do you cherry pick? I know your kind; brainwashed by Ellen White So how do you explain col 3:23? a license to do whatever you want as unto the LORD right? let me guess...emmm you can steal heartily unto the LORD right? did you say No?or maybe you can commit adultery heartily unto the LORD? No? How do you define sin? "Everyone who sins breaks the law, in fact, sin is lawlessness" 1John 3:4Bro are you confused? In Romans 14, Paul is clear that regarding any day or not regarding SHOULD be left to individual convictions. Can you imagine if sleeping with your mother is left to individual convictions! The reason for this is simple; observing days is a non-issue. Remember Paul is writing to a community of Jews and Gentiles and most probably the days he had in mind was the sabbath. It can't be pagan days because he would have none of paganism, not to mention one can't observe pagan days 'unto to the Lord'. The reason I raised the issue of 'unto the Lord' was to show you that Sunday fellowship held in the name of Jesus is something done 'unto the Lord'. What Law is there against such? |

timilehing: According to the bible sunday is the first day of the week... Read mark 16 , 1-5 Mark: 16. 1. And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. 2. And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. 3. And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? 4. And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. 5. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. - Also Read genesis 1 and 2 |
