What would be wrong with observing the Sabbath and using it to spend all day with God alone or with others who feel the same way.?
Nothing at all and folks who falsely claim there is should search for a valid, contextual reason IN SCRIPTURE why not.

You are good for a laugh but not much else...
I am focused.
And I know that you will try to use this text to justify Sabbath observance and it is plain nonsense.
Why is it that you can not answer a simple question?I am focused.

Ok
So here it is:
Gen 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Gen 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
That is all I quoted in the last post and that is all I am talking about.
So I said God blessed a day. You have a problem with that interpretation. I thought I was just saying what It said. So could you please show me where I have misinterpreted this text.
Yes I know there is no listening.But the fact that they wont address the point speaks volumes to any who read.Hi mate,
I would not worry to much about graceNpeace. He is forcing His eyes closed to the Word of God. It does not matter how much of God's Word you share with Him. He cannot see it because he has closed his own eyes. He does not reject you but God's Word.
I see what you are saying; we have the same teacher (Heb 8:10-12). God's Sabbath was made and originated in Gen 2:1-3 before sin entered into the World. It was made for sinless mankind before the fall because he was in harmony with God and walked with God (Mark 2:27) It is clear from God's Word that Jesus is the maker of the Sabbath and Lord of the Sabbath that we worship and it is a sign that we are His people and worship the only true God of creation (Mark 2:28; Exe 20:12).
The reason why there is no commandment in Gen 2:1-3 is very simple. It is because the Sabbath was made for sinless man and sinless man is in harmony with God's Laws (written on the heart) so no commandment is required. God's foever Law (10 commandments) was only given after the fall (sin) of mankind because we are not in harmony with God's character. Fallen mankind forgot God's Sabbath and He wanted to give it back to His people that he was saving from sin. Without the Law is no knowledge of sin to fallen man.
Keep sharing God's Word, as others want to hear the Word of God even if some do not.
God bless you
You are full of psychological ploys...Why is it that you can not answer a simple question?
whether I am going to use it or not I have to be able to demonstrate form scripture. But the issue here is not what I will do in the future it is what does the texts say.
Do they say God blessed and sanctified a day or do they not?
You are full of psychological ploys...
You don't believe but I know where you are going with this.
I understand the the doctrine you are trying to push - and I don't agree with it.
Ultimately you would not be pushing this ridiculous doctrine apart from having to justify the ridiculous ramblings of Ellen White.
Ok Ill leave it there, We can't go on if you can't address the scriptures openly that I brought up. That is your choice blessings. I will not reply to your reply to this reply lol. Unless it is actually dealing with what Gen 2 says.You are full of psychological ploys...

Except, specifically in gotime's case he has to defend the writings of Ellen White as co-authoritative with the Bible.Here is a good example of what happens when someone rejects the Word of God. Instead of sharing the Word. The stone throwing starts and the messenger is attacked instead of the message because they cant attack the message
Please those who read take note that I have not once used Ellen White to suggest or prove anything. go over my posts and you will see this is true. Take note that constantly they do not address what is said but distract with unsubstantiated claims.Except, specifically in gotime's case he has to defend the writings of Ellen White as co-authoritative with the Bible.
As for you, I think you are also SDA but you seem reluctant to clarify...
Any SDA has a problem because they have to justify Ellen White - mark of the beast, Sabbath observance - the two go together.
For me, it is simple!For those who read these posts, whether I am right or not, take note at how people reply, ask yourself do they address what is being said or rather what they think it is leading to. and then ask yourself why it is that they will not address what is plainly said in scripture but keep accusing and redirecting the conversation away from what is being spoken about. food for thought.
I wish I could get into their heads and see how they actually validate their position. how is it that they ignore texts and refuse to address them. If your doctrine is biblical you should not have to ignore any text of scripture. And answering a simple question that only asks you to say what the text is saying should not be hard for anyone. One has to wonder if deep down they don't because they know it poses problems for their position that they can not answer. I don't know if I am right on that or not, but that is what I am thinking.Hi mate,

Well my post is not the whole thread. And while I do agree that the Sabbath is a gift for all Christians.For me, it is simple!
This thread was conceived on the basis that Sabbath observance is incumbent on New Covenant believers.
That is clearly false and it is on that basis that I respond.
I am not here to justify anyone's false teaching.
