the Sabbath

Show me scripture anywhere supporting two sabbaths. They had many Sabbaths, but they were Annual Sabbaths, God only set one day apart from the rest as our weekly Sabbath.

You got me thinking. I'll look around some more. Its been a while since I read through a lot of the stuff about the days and all that.

Had a great time at work this morning. I feel very blessed.

This is quite lovely of you, taking such burden off of others as you do.

You did not finish the thought. So here it is:
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you. Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. (Exodus 31:12-14)

1. Are you one of the children of Israel?
2. Are you still under the Law of Moses?
3. How many have you put to death for failure to observe the Sabbath?

In Genesis there is the 7th day of rest that the Lord blessed. The next Sabbath we see is the last plague of Eygpt. The Lord said, this shall be the first of the year for you. (paraphrased) and He talks about the seventh day and the night that the death Angel will pass over them when He(the Lord) sees the blood. Haven't got any further than that.

Does turning on a computer or computer monitor count as work or it could be a phone? Does it count as starting a fire? I think current orthodox rabbis would say yes. Christians only try to attempt keeping some watered down version of the Sabbath day and often times they have the wrong starting time (midnight or when they wake up) and some think it's Sunday and the command is to go to church instead of being refraining from "work."

I'm carrying some clothes on my body. Does that count as work? It's not wearing me out or anything, but I am carrying something. I need someone to tell me what counts as work and what doesn't. I just woke up, and I feel a #2 coming. Does the paperwork following that count as work? I need to talk to an orthodox rabbi about that. That just sounds awful if they forbid that.

Since we're talking about the Sabbath day, are we going to start keeping the Sabbath year as well?

Grace and Peace Honored Posters All!

After careful meditation and prayerful seeking The Lord,
I have been given direction on this issue !
Praise Jesus!

I am going to continue to Worship and Praise 7 days a week,
and not work on Saturday and Sunday.

I will also be starting a new Denomination ...
The B.A.C.N. church...
BLESS ALL CURSE NONE

I am trying to think of an "O" word that can be added between the "C" and the "N"... .

Only? Oh? Obediently? Obligingly? Objectively? Openly? Openheartedly? Optimistically?

Easy to prove.

Jesus fulfilled the moral law, absolutely.

If one law in the law of Moses becomes redundant, then the whole law is also redundant.

I can list 600 laws from the law of Moses that are redundant!

I also add the 13 remaining laws to that list.

Jesus fulfilled the entire law, in fact, the law was given for Jesus to fulfill.

The law was never given to Israel for you to fulfill. On the contrary, the law is shouting at you, that you cannot fulfill the law.

The law grants the knowledge of sin and that's all the law can do.

True righteousness is received as a gift from Jesus. You cannot generate your own.

I only want to hear one boast from you, the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Any other prattle has another source.

That is the one boast that all Christian should proclaim.

People do not understand the power of that constant confession of our Lord's name.

Jesus is the alpha and the omega of any Christian conversation.

Praise the Lord

God is in control always and forever.

God created the weekly cycle at Creation and that has never changed. Six days are for work and labors Gen 1 Exo 20:9 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. Exo 20:10 Gen 2:1-3

God set the example for man right from the beginning of time and nothing has ever changed.

In the New Testament no one lost track of time- the Sabbath was still according to the commandment Luke 23:56

The apostles kept every Sabbath decades after the Cross Acts 13:42-44 Acts 18:4

God alone wrote the Ten Commandments- this is His work- not Moses Exo 32:16 Exo 31:18 after God wrote and spoke the Ten Commandments- He added no more- God is perfect and would be impossible for Him to make a mistake with something He personally engraved- put His stamp on it by writing it with His own finger and contains His seal. God makes no mistakes, man does. God’s law is perfect converting the soul Psa 19:7 and after He wrote and He spoke His holy law He added no more because nothing more could be added to make His holy commandments complete. Exo 5:22 Exo 34:28 Deut 4:13

Jesus tells us no mistake was made for the Sabbath- made for everyone to bless…until He reveals Himself.

Isaiah 56:1 Thus says the Lord:

“Keep justice, and do righteousness,
For My salvation is about to come,
And My righteousness to be revealed.

Blessed is the man who does this,
And the son of man who lays hold on it;
Who keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
And keeps his hand from doing any evil.


6 “Also the sons of the foreigner
Who join themselves to the Lord, to serve Him,
And to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants—
Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
And holds fast My covenant


Let’s not follow the popular path, but follow Jesus and His Teachings. He is the Way and will only lead us on the narrow path back to Him.

Amen! Great post!

There is no violation of the Sabbath by sharing His Word or reasoning with the scriptures on the Sabbath. It’s one of the way the apostles and His faithful followers kept the Sabbath.


Luke 23:56 Then they returned and prepared spices and fragrant oils. And they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment.

Acts 13:14 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down. 15 And after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Men andbrethren, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.”

Acts 13:42 So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.

Acts 13:44 On the next Sabbath almost the whole city came together to hear the word of God.

Acts 15:21 For Moses has had throughout many generations those who preach him in every city, being read in the synagogues everySabbath.”

Acts 16:13And on the Sabbath day we went out of the city to the riverside, where prayer was customarily made; and we sat down and spoke to the women who met there.

Acts 17:2 Then Paul, as his custom was, went in to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

Acts 18:4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks.

This is what the apostles did on the Sabbath
1. Read the scriptures
2. Prayed
3. Shared the Word of God
4. Preached God's Word
5. Reasoned from the scripture
6. Was in the synagogue- house of worship- what we call church now

Yes, thats why we have Jesus as our High Priest now Heb 7:26-28 so instead of sacrificing animals for sin (breaking God’s law) we can go directly to Jesus. Sin is still the same as it has always been the transgression of God’s law, the Ten Commandments that God wrote and spoke. Exo 31:18 Exo 32:16 1 John 3:4 Romans 7:7 Mat 5:19-30

So despite your claim to the contrary, something has changed.

More to the point: the law has changed.

There are old testament laws set in place with the explicit stated purpose of making the Israelites a holy people (separate and special). The dietary laws are an example of this separate and special practice that Israelites were supposed to follow. It not only includes and excludes certain types of animals, but Jews believe in an oral Torah that includes extra information involving how the animals are slaughtered and prepared. They believe this extra information was given by Moses and passed down orally. It was initially not written down to keep it less significant than the written Torah. After 70 A.D. the Jews were getting persecuted so badly that they decided to write this stuff down in the Mishnah and later expanded on it in the 2 Talmuds.

I once knew a guy who decided to start following the laws in Torah. One day he walked to the house I was in, and I felt the Spirit say to me that he was holy. What he was doing was producing an outward holiness. This is not mandatory for believers in Christ Jesus, though. If you trust in and follow Christ Jesus in the Spirit, then you have an inward, spiritual holiness that matters more than anything else.

Ostensibly ...
