But the new moon doesn't fall on the first every time on a traditional calendar. So recently my pastor made a point that Jesus was in the temple speaking on God's word and in the afternoon he was helping the sick, hungry, healing etc I think this is the biblical right way to keep the Sabbath and the the Pharisee self imposed constraints.

But Saturday is not the Sabbath. The Sabbath is the 7th day from the New Moon, and then the 14th, 21st and 28th days. How can you push people to keep the Sabbath and then tell them it is "Saturn's day" a reference to Satan?
The "traditional" calendar is not the Biblical calendar. The Hebrew Calendar uses the New moon to determine the first day of every month.
If you want to keep the Sabbath day that seems Biblical and fine with the NT, Paul never says you shouldn't. But if you are going to honor God shouldn't you actually keep the day that God ordained?
But according to Genesis it does begin at dawn, so he wasn't writing something false.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3. And God said, let there be light; and there was light.
4. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.
5. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
So clearly he said let there be light in verse 3 and then in verse 5 came evening and the morning again and that equated the first day and if you continue this pattern without the pauses you can see that the morning from verse 5 continues to the evening and the morning of verse 8
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day
May I ask you, what do you believe is a Christian's righteousness before God the whole of their life?
Yes, when Jesus was crucified their covenant was cut off just like a divorce or legal separation.
Hi all. Can anyone answer this for me?
I just recently started reading the bible and I'm still figuring things out. And there's one verse that's been bugging me. It's this one:
Exodus 21:20-21
New International Version
“Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.
How would you explain this? The slave died, does it matter if it's a day later?
Please be respectful in the comments. I came here to learn.

Good question, I hope someone answers. He hasn't been active since Dec, 2020.

You do know the bible refers to the ten commandments as the letter that kills, the ministry of death and condemnation don't you
I'm not sure if your post #1226 was a retraction of this or not. Assuming it wasn't...
God clearly places evening before morning, but you claim that, according to Genesis, the day begins at dawn. Could you please explain this (glaring) inconsistency?
Sorry I don't understand the question, I answered in the same post? I said that he created the light so it was morning in verse 3 then it became evening and morning first day in verse 5
So morning evening morning = first day. Creation began with the light then came evening and morning first day. The bible verse in Matthew indicates that at dawn was the beginning of the first day which was also when the sabbath actually ends since the verse clearly says at the end of the sabbath as it began to dawn... etc
Actually, creation began with "God created the heaven(s) and the earth) in verse 1. The activity of day 1 did not begin with the creation of light, or "morning" as you called it. Every other day that is so described is "evening" and then "morning".
To which verse in Matthew are you referring?
I didn't mean the beginning of creation I'm say that first came the light in verse three then came the evening and morning in verse 5 why would evening come if it wasn't daytime first. And Matthew 28:1 ... at the end of the Sabbath as it began to dawn on the first day of the week....
I suppose I derailed the thread
Did you see my post that recommended you to start your own thread? Here was your response, just for a reminder.
I can understand your point, but "evening" does not necessarily require a preceding period of light. In this case, God may well have meant the period before He created light as "evening". For Matthew 28:1, your translation says, "at the end of the Sabbath"; the NIV (along with most English translations) says, "after the Sabbath". The meanings are related, but different.
