Amen brother and praise the Lord!Fortunately God does NOT define sin the same way you do. Also fortunately all sin is forgiven to those who trust in Jesus rather than their own works.
Your assertion, actually Catholic doctrine, that God changed His Sanctified set apart 7th day to the Venerable Day of the Sun in the New Covenant is false. Jesus was already risen by the time Mary reached the grave immediately after the Sabbath. There is an excellent study on this done by a brother on this forum. I did this study 25 years ago but Hiz covers it so completely that if a person actually takes the time and does the study there can be no doubt as to the Bible teaching regarding when Jesus was resurrected. If you want to learn the Biblical truth, do the study.
I know how convincing the internet preachers can be. But their very first claim on the web page you posted is just not true. If you do the study yourself, you will find the same thing Hiz and I, and anyone else who is interested enough in the truth to study themselves.

Hi, I clicked on the link and the first thing I saw was that I have him on ignore, not a good omen. A quick glance showed me I had read similar things many times before. People attack the bible thousands of years after it was written by good honest God fearing people, apostles no less, who were actual eye witnesses and people today think they know better. No wonder he is on ignore.
I go with the bible every time and I feel this from gotquestions.org has it covered.
The Mosaic Law stipulated what day the Passover lamb was to be eaten: Nissan 14 (Numbers 9:2–3). We must assume that Jesus kept the Law and observed Passover at the appointed time (see Galatians 4:4). After the Passover (Thursday) came the Day of Preparation (Friday) on which Jesus was killed. The Sabbath (Saturday) followed, of course, and then the first day of the week (Sunday)—the third day after the crucifixion and the day on which Jesus rose from the dead.
I totally agree Most of the timet5 minutes is enough butbwhen the site causes problems with my swiftSwi keyboard it is totally inadequate !Me too! Sometimes I spend hours in devotion in compiling a post. And then an hour or so, give or take in editing and refining before I post. I always miss something. It doesn't help that some times the Editor does things to the posts that were not in the originals.

That is the Catholic preaching to be sure. He said He was in the heart of the earth for 3 days and 3 nights. But the Catholics in their zeal for the Venerable Day of the Sun, decided that Friday night, just before sundown, to Sunday morning while it was yet dark, which is 1.5 days at most, is 3 days and 3 nights. And because you listen to them and Not the God of the Bible, you don't know there were two Sabbaths in that week. First Day of Unleavened bread, and the weekly Sabbath.
But you have already rejected the most complete study I have ever seen, so I am most certainly wasting my breath.
If you placed Hiz on ignore, that explains a lot.
Nobody is attacking the Bible, just man made doctrines and traditions which transgress the Commandments of God.. The Sunday resurrection traditions is one of the greatest bastardization of Scriptures in all of Mainstream Christianity. I didn't know you were Catholic, this explains everything.
Like I said, it is much easier just to let some web site or religious franchise owner tell you what the Book says. The rest ain't so good though.
Your saying that something is mot true does NOT make it untrue! Jesus said "Come unto Me all ye who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. My rest comes not from keeping days but it is a gift from Jesus. I keep the Sabbath and it is very meaningful to me. I do NOT keep it because it is commanded; because it no longer is commanded of believers. I keep the Sabbath because doing so reminds me of what Jesus has done for me.
You pay empty lip service to Salvation by grace through faith and then try to burden people by assigning false significance to the 10 commandments.
The 10 commandments are simply the first 17 verses of Exodus 20; and have no more significance than any other commandment in the Law of Moses.
Even if they had the significance you are trying to ascribe to them, NOBODY is able to keep them to God's standard.
If we could please God by our own efforts, Jesus died for nothing.
Who says we are to please God by our own efforts? We are saved only by GRACE through FAITH and NOT of OURSELVES it is a GIFT of GOD and not of WORKS lest any man should boast. Without Christ you can do nothing. If you do NOT ABIDE IN HIM (the Word) you cannot FOLLOW him and walk on water.
IF your FAITH does not have the FRUIT of OBEDIENCE then you are still in your SINS because you have rejected the GIFT of God's dear Son (James 2:18: 20: 26).
If your tree has no FRUIT it will be cast down and thrown into the FIRE come judgement day (Matthew 7:12-23). Now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth NOT forth good fruit is CUT down, and cast into the fire (Matthew 3:10).
If you are still in your SINS when he gives you a KNOWLEDGE of the truth then you do not KNOW him who calls you in LOVE to LOVE another as he first LOVED you.
Whether or not we observe the 7th day Sabbath has no bearing on our relationship with God
This is where God's Word disagrees with you. SIN is the transgression of God's LAW (10 Commandments). All those who KNOWINGLY practice SIN will NOT enter into God's KINGDOM.
Hebrews 10
26, For IF WE SIN AFTER WE HAVE RECEIVED THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH, THERE REMAINS NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SINS,
27, BUT A CERTAIN LOOKING FORWARD FOR OF JUDGEMENT AND FIERY INDIGNATION, WHICH SHALL DEVOUR THE ADVERSARIES.
31, It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Yep SIN will keep ALL who KNOWINGLY practice it OUT of God's KINGDOM.
..................
God's 4th commandment is one of the ten (Exodus 20:8-11) and if we KNOWINGLY break it like any of the other commandments we stand guilty before God of SIN (Exodus 20:1-17).
If we break any of God’s Laws we stand guilty before God in SIN (James 2:11; Romans 7:7; 1 John 3:4; Romans 3:20). This includes the 4th commandment which is one of the ten (Exodus 20:8-11)
There is not one scripture in ALL of God's Word that says God's 4th Commandment has now been ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to keep Sunday as a Holy day.
Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has lead many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (Matthew 15:3-9)
Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of men or the Word of God? Who should we believe the Words of men or the Word of God?
You seem to be under the delusion that your saying something makes it true.
Fortunately God does NOT define sin the same way you do.
Also fortunately all sin is forgiven to those who trust in Jesus rather than their own works.
"When the thick temple veil that covered the doorway to the Holy of Holies was torn in two by God at the time of Christ's death (Matthew 27:51), God was indicating that the Old Testament priesthood was no longer necessary. Now people can come directly to God through the great High Priest, Jesus Christ (Hebrews 4:14-16). There are now no earthly mediators between God and man as existed in the Old Testament priesthood (1 Timothy 2:5)."

Jesus is the new permanent, one and only High Priest, and Sunday is His day, i.e. the Lord's Day.

Not sure why you think this means God's 4th Commandment is abolished and we are now commanded to keep Sunday as a Holy day?

Please expound.the real meaning of a scripture may not be sitting right on top
God maybe using a dark saying.
Sorry PS still do not understand your point here and how you link anything you have said to God's 4th Commandment being abolished and we are now commanded to keep Sunday as a Holy day? Can you explain it a bit better?
It does not.Not sure who this is addressed to? But where does it say in God's Word that the New Covenant abolishes God's 4th Commandment and there is a new day in its place?
Jesus 'worked' on the Sabbath. The horrible, wicked Jews plotted his death and he physically died. Jesus the great High Priest conquered death, he rose again and lives eternally. Thomas worshipped him on the Sunday and had Thomas done anything wrong, Jesus would have corrected him, but he did not, thereby instigating Sunday worship on the authority of God Immanuel.
Because it is not there. To assume or assert that it is to add to the Word of GOD.Hi PS,
Sorry I still do not see how your reasoning suggests in any way that God's 4th Commandment is abolished and we are now commanded to keep Sunday as a Holyday.
This post of yours does not in anyway address the post to which it was posted to.Fortunately God does NOT define sin the same way you do. Also fortunately all sin is forgiven to those who trust in Jesus rather than their own works.
