We pray often daily and ask the Holy Spirit to chime in, Romans 8
When we see someone coming who we do not know, we pray for them silently.
We have a worship and praise service.
At the end of the service, people are invited to ask individuals questions one on one.
Those of us who are mature, stand up and move to different outside areas of hte group.

When I was stationed at Travis AFB, our shifts alternated. Often we did not have time off on the weekend. So, we organized worship sevices at the base chapel all days of the week --- inviting local pastors to preach. We would meet latter to evaluate each pastor for the purpose of weeding out those who were not spirit filled.

You can't find it because it's a bunch of non-biblical, heretical nonsense.

The Sabbath is the seventh day in both the Old Testament and the New Testament alike.

There are those who would have us to believe that the Sabbath switched to Sunday or the first day of the week because that is the day on which Jesus was raised from the dead. However, we're told repeatedly in scripture that Jesus was raised from the dead the day after the Sabbath, and we're never told that the Sabbath suddenly switched to Sunday or the first day of the week.

For example, we read:

Matthew chapter 28

[1] In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
[2] And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
[3] His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
[4] And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
[5] And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
[6] He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

Mark chapter 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.
[6] And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

Luke chapter 23

[56] And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.

Luke chapter 24

[1] Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
[2] And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
[3] And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
[4] And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
[5] And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

John chapter 20

[1] The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

We must remember that the evening COMES FIRST in a Biblical day, so when they came to the tomb "as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week" (Matt. 28:1), "very early in the morning the first day of the week" (Mark 16:2), "upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning" (Luke 24:1), or "the first day of the week...when it was yet dark" (John 20:1), they were arriving near the midway point of the first day of the week or about 12 hours into that day.

Again, in a Biblical day, the evening comes first (Gen. 1:5, 8, 13, 19, 23, 31).

Not only was Jesus clearly raised from the dead on the day AFTER the Sabbath in all 4 gospels, but he was raised from the dead on the Jewish Feast of Firstfruits, and that feast occurred on the day AFTER the Sabbath.

We read:

Leviticus chapter 23

[10] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
[11] And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.

Again, Jesus Christ was raised from the dead "on the morrow AFTER THE SABBATH" or on the Jewish Feast of Firstfruits, and, for this reason, Paul twice referred to Christ as "the firstfruits" in his first epistle to the Corinthians.

We read:

I Corinthians chapter 15

[19] If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
[20] But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
[21] For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
[22] For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
[23] But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

Anyhow, there is nothing, and I mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, in scripture that states that the Sabbath has shifted from the seventh day to the eight day or to the first day of the week. In fact, that heretical nonsense comes to us straight from the Papacy or the literal kingdom of antichrist.

No, nothing in scripture in support that Sunday is now the Sabbath or even the Lord's Day. The Sunday Sabbath started with the Catholic Church and now, most every Christian denomination emulates it.

Thanks for your clarification.

Well, I'm definitely not a Sun-worshipper like the "popes" who foisted "Sun-day' as the new alleged Sabbath on a sleeping church are.

The pagan Roman Catholic church is steeped in Sun worship, and the world's largest solar wheel is actually found at St. Peter's Square. Smack dab in the middle of it is an obelisk which was imported from Egypt where it had previously been used to worship the sun god Ra.

"Christ Mass"?

I'm definitely not a fan of that pagan holiday either as it is steeped in both Sun and Satan worship, even as I documented my last time through here as "Live4Him2". You can read that post here if you're interested in doing so:

https://christianchat.com/christian...e-celebrate-christmas.110/page-2#post-4829608

I definitely agree with you that Jesus was the God of the Old Covenant. In fact, he was the Rock which followed the children of Israel in their wilderness journeys (I Cor. 10:4), and he was also the one who the children of Israel constantly tempted (I Cor. 10:9) or provoked to wrath.

In relation to Christ being that Rock, it's important to note what got Moses in trouble with God. Initially, God told Moses to "smite the Rock", and this typified Christ being smitten or crucified for us. The second time, God told Moses to "speak to the Rock" because after we come to the smitten Christ, God wants us to commune with him through prayer. If you recall, Moses disobeyed God, and he smote the Rock a second time. God was angry that Moses didn't sanctify him before the people in that Moses broke the typology that God was seeking to demonstrate. In other words, as we're told in the New Testament, Christ will not be "crucified afresh", and by smiting the Rock a second time, Moses gave the impression that he would be.

Anyhow, I'm mentioning this as a precursor to a future post that I hope to make here. In that post, I hope to show exactly why God initially gave us the seventh day Sabbath way back in the book of Genesis, and his intended typology in doing so. Personally, I wouldn't want to be one to break that typology, but I'd venture to say that millions of professing Christians have done just that throughout the course of history or are presently doing just that today.

Sorry if I ranted a bit much. I just don't like people twisting my words.
I like to express what I believe in an open forum. I'm not trying to make another feel less than. I'm not trying to tell another what they have to believe. It would be nice to be able to freely and openly state what I believe, being respected and respecting the views of others. But I guess we all know that's not being very realistic, especially on the BDF.

That’s true. The sabbath is definitely the seventh day of the week.

I honestly think churches meet on Sunday, not because of some sinister plot by the Antichrist to undermine God, but because there’s a Biblical precedent to meet on Sunday (the first day of the week) and have the Lord’s supper. If churches are calling Sunday, the first day of the week, the Sabbath then yes that’s a problem.

Acts 20:7 KJV
7And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

There were actually eight day weeks in that time period referred to as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nundinae so "after" the "eighth day" is an whole other debate. It centers around the ninth day in their manner of thinking...

Keep....means holy.

Exodus 20:8-11 KJV - Remember the sabbath day, to keep it ...
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 Lordthy God: in it thou shalt 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 Lordmade heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lordblessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Why does the Bible say...if the donkey is in the mire on sabbath get him out...? There can be exceptions.

Another new age religion attack on God's word.

Someone please...show me a mention of that approach on the sabbath ...like no baptism....prior to 1960's.

Scripture reference please?

Live4Him3 · Jun 30, 2022

Runningman said:

Yes, it most definitely is the seventh day, and for a very good reason which I'll eventually post on.

Runningman said:

First of all, the early church MET DAILY to break bread:

Acts chapter 2

[46] 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,
[47] Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

Secondly, it has been prophesied of the Antichrist that he would "think to change times and laws":

"And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. " (Daniel 7:25)

What entity changed God's law or the Ten Commandments?

Well, of course, that would be the Papacy because they are the literal kingdom of antichrist.

They removed the second commandment regarding the making of graven images because they are steeped in idolatry.

Of course, they also divided the 10th commandment into both the 9th and 10th commandments to compensate for their deliberate omission.

And what of "changing times"?

Well, again, there is only one entity which changed the Biblical seventh day Sabbath to an alleged first day Sabbath, and that entity is the Vatican/the Papacy because, again, they are the literal kingdom of antichrist.

Do you observe the Sabbath?
