Praise GOD! Thank you for the greeting and exhortation! Studying GOD's Word can be quite time consuming but it is well worth it! When I first started with my devotions it was GOD, me, my Bibles, Strong's, a Vines and BDB lexicon and a few other misc. Bible helps. Praise GOD for that! But praise him even more for my PC and the internet! Now through extensive Bible study program, like the theWord we have access to hundreds of Bible translations, dictionaries, commentaries and such. Talk about a chance to dig in deep! Praise GOD indeed!
May the LORD continue to bless you also my friend in all HIS Way; Jesus Christ, the Word!

You can rest anytime you want,
but Only God not man, who can make a day of the week Holy.
Hebrews 4:4
For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise,
And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
And I gave them my statutes, and shewed them my judgments,
which if a man do, he [God] shall even live in them [us].

Sure you can 'rest' any day if that is what you want and need.
But God attached it to a certain day/the 7th day so there will be no confusion as 'when it is HIS day of rest that we are invited to 'share with Him !
Apparently God does not rest every day or any day He pleases but is still working and has a precise schedule...something He is trying to teach His disobedient and wayward children. We need to be 'disciplened and the best way is to become one of His Disciples walking with Him 24/7 including keeping the Sabbath day !!!
In the NT this is a 'choice and no longer a commandment...but don't be deceived into thinking you can reject it and still please God whose Will it is to keep it holy. You want to be holy as He is holy you better start at the bottom (foundation) with the Sabbath Day...God has not changed on that yet !

Ezekiel 20:12, "Moreover, I also gave them My Sabbaths, to be a *sign between Me and them, that they might know that I am YHWH Who sanctifies them."
*Sign is Word #H226, Hebrew Dictionary, Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, meaning mark, token, sign, consent, flag, evidence of consent.
Mat 5:18, "I say to you; Unless heaven and earth passes away, one yodh; the smallest of the letters will in no way pass from the Law, until all things are perfected."
Revelation 21:1, "I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away.

Yes similar to me in a way although I use BIBLE ANALYZER it has many of the different versions and can be customized. I mainly use a range of different Bible versions, Hebrew and Greek dictionaries, Strong's concordance etc. I am not much into the commentaries. Some may be good but its mans interpretation. I combine this with the online bible tools of BIBLEHUB; BIBLE GATEWAY or BLUE LETTER BIBLE. All very useful and stand alone in themselves. I still have my hard covers but the digital tools are so fast and Bible Analyzer allow me to develop and save topic studies. None of these are useful however without God's Spirit to teach you His truth. Praise God that he promises those that seek him that He will teach them that continue in His Word (John 14:26; 16:13; 7:17).

Hi Vic1980,
Thanks for the comment and welcome to the thread. Only a few short words but I think you have nailed the problem. If people would read God's Word for themselves and understand that EVERYTHING in the NEW Testament come from the OLD testament scriptures there would be fewer problems. These are the TWO great witnesses and are in harmony with each other. Many indeed do not know what the OLD covenant is or the purpose of the two sets of laws that make up the OLD covenant and how which apply to the NEW and which were only shadows of things to come in the plan of salvation.
God bless you as you seek Him through His Word.

Exodus 20
8, REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, to KEEP IT HOLY.
9, Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10, BUT THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD YOUR GOD; IN IT YOU SHALL NOT DO ANY WORK, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11, For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY: wherefore THE LORD BLESSED THE SABBATH DAY AND MADE IT HOLY.

In Europe, Sunday is the 7th day, btw.
So, European Christians are going to Church on the 7th day, on Sunday.
And poor Adventists have their assemblies on Saturday, ie on the 6th day

Daniyl 7:25, "And he will speak great words against YHWH, and will wear out; mentally attack to cause to fall away, the saints of YHWH, and think to change times and Laws."
So, you should have a consultation with LoveGodForever and decide what is the important thing - the name (Saturday/Sabbath) or the number (7th).
Because in Europe, you cant have both

The truth is the truth no matter what man tries to change.

The 7th Day Sabbath were ever you are around the world is always Friday SUNSET to SATURDAY SUNSET = 7th day of the week. Not too hard at all (Genesis 1:5).

This was the same problem with the mainstream teachers in the days of Jesus. The result was his own people rejected him which led to His crucifixion. All through the time of the prophets, Jesus and his disciples and those after have always been the few persecuted by the many because the few told the many their deeds were evil and they needed to return to God. This is what the reformation was about the Protestantism has forgotten how that in the early days the were the few that were persecuted to death by the mother church. The thing that has been is the thing that shall be. There is nothing new under the sun.....
God bless you sister Beta

Hello trofimus, I really do not understand your argument. God's Word makes it very clear and easy to understand when His Sabbath starts and finishes.

Should European adventists, sabbath keepers or how you call yourself keep sunday as the 7th day? Because European week starts with Monday.
