I see most of your posts on Nairaland. it is quite easy to attack and find faults with what others believe in, the same way it is easier to criticise a scientific invention than to invent your own.
My question for you is, what do you believe in? What are your convictions? What drives you forward? What is your purpose in life?

If you truly saw most of my posts you would have got the answer to your questions. Now back to the topic. Is Sunday the Christian Sabbath?

He asks questions to start off discussions among Christians- he has been doing it for years now . He'd then give a suggested answer later on .

Not what I normally see, but if you say so...

Thanks for putting him straight, let's hope he gets the gist.

If only you can see. Sabbath is neither Sunday nor Saturday BUT it is a rest that is beyond the earthly. True Sabbath is when you cease living for yourSELF and allowing Christ to live out his own life in you.

No specific day for Sabbath any more after Christ has come.

Acts2:46
New American Standard Bible
Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart,

King James Bible
And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,

Matt12:8
New American Standard Bible
"For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."

King James Bible
For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
Everyday is our Sabbath.

There is nothing like the Christian Sabbath. There is only one Sabbath day, and it is Saturday. The Bible also never told Christians to disregard GOD's Sabbath.

Do you observe the Sabbath laws stated in these verses? If so how?

Do you observe the Sabbath laws stated in these verses? If so how?

I try to observe the Sabbath as stated in Exod. 20:8-11 and Isa. 58:13 by refraining from secular work on that day, and not speaking my own words, nor finding my own pleasure. I devote that day to communion with GOD.

But keeping the Sabbath law goes further than that. It includes the fact that you cannot leave your home on the Sabbath (Exodus 16:29), neither could you build a fire or turn on a switch (Exodus 35:3), and you cannot cause anyone else to work (Deuteronomy 5:14). What stops you from being put to death if you break the Sabbath law according to ==>(Exodus 31:15; Numbers 15:32–35)?

Did Jesus sit at home on the Sabbath? I try to keep the Sabbath as Jesus and Paul kept it

I don't cause people to work on the Sabbath, anyway.

Remember, I'm a Christian. Jesus didn't put the woman caught in adultery to death. He forgave her, and bade her sin no more.

Jesus and the apostles especially Paul only went to the Synagogue to do missionary and evangelical work.

Were the Gentile Christian coverts in Acts of the Apostles ever commanded to keep the Sabbath?

So Jesus and Paul went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day just to do missionary work? Where did you read that? The Bible says it was Jesus custom to worship on the Sabbath: when do you think this custom started?

Why do you keep the other 9 commandments and refuse to keep the fourth one?

Also, tell me what Paul meant when he wrote to the Corinthian believers: "Imitate me, just as I imitate Christ."

But Paul, inspired by the Spirit said,:
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Colossians 2:16,17

How would you explain this?

It is an unbiased, 100% Scriptural exposition on that passage.

Thank you.

Our Lord Jesus said He was sent to the lost sheep of Israel and where will you get the Jews, the Synagogue, obviously? Paul was sent to take the gospel to the Gentiles and I don't think they were commanded to observe the Sabbath, were they?

DoctorAlien:

Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath and He is my Saviour and Lord. He has made me to know that the Sabbath is made for man and not the other way round. Did Jesus work on the Sabbath day or not?

You are yet to establish how Paul worshipped on the Sabbath day other than evangelising the Jews.

If you imply that Jesus worshipped on the Sabbath simply to find "the lost sheep of Israel," why then was Jesus going around preaching? Were Jews found then only in the temple on the Sabbath?

You still have not answered why you would keep nine of the commandments and refuse to keep the fourth one.

Prove that Jesus did secular work on the Sabbath day, or that He broke the provisions of Exodus 20:8-11.

OLAADEGBU:

One of the biggest lies in christaindom is that Jesus changed the Sabbath day or that the Sabbathday was meant only for the Jews.
Jesus never did away with the 10commandments. the Sabbath was created and sancified by God even before man sinned. no other day was sancified and set apart by God. and only God's decision is the most important factor in deciding which day is the Sabbath day.

Paul was not referring to the Sabbath. in that verse the sabbath is a Holy day set outside by God not Paul. Jesus said that it is better for Heaven and Earth to pass away than one dot or T of the ten commandements to be abolished, which includes the Sabbath day.

Thats legalism . that's what Jesus preached against the Jews were more concerned about not breaking the Sabbath than doing good.which is wrong.
