A Universal Day of Rest: An Online Discussion - June 4th 2020

Shabbat Shalom!

Sabbath Blessings!

Too bad Sunday isn’t the Sabbath day.

The beast is man made government. Israel never had a man made government but God-given government. The man made governments, ruled by Satan, think to change God's laws and times.

But if you're a man of faith and scripture then this should not trouble you because Jesus gives us Sabbath when he gives us his Holy Spirit.


Consider the following:



Galatians 2:15 We who are Js by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.



Galatians 3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
Galatians 3:2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
Galatians 3:3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
Galatians 3:4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.
Galatians 3:5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

And


Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Colossians 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
Colossians 2:11 In whom also ye are c*d with the c*n made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the c*n of Christ:
Colossians 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
Colossians 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the unc-lrcunn-clslon of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
Colossians 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Colossians 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Colossians 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Colossians 2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
Colossians 2:19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
Colossians 2:20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
Colossians 2:21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
Colossians 2:22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
Colossians 2:23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.



Let them have their Sunday sabbath.

In other words, did keeping the Sabbath get us the Holy Spirit? No. Let the world have a siesta day.

Doesn't matter. Are you saved through Sabbath or faith in Jesus?

Indeed, Sunday isn't the Sabbath.

Exodus 20:8-11  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 LORD thy 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 LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

1) Sunday isn't the Sabbath.

2) It does matter if people keep Sunday instead of God's Sabbath. Jesus died because we sinned, which is transgression of the law.

1 John 3:4  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

The Great Sacrifice and Christ's work as our Mediator was typified in the ceremonial law introduced to the J--s. There would never have been a need for them if mankind had never sinned in the first place.

Galatians 3:19  Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

The ceremonial law was added, meaning that an original law took place in the first place. That original law, which existed before sin, is the 10 Commandments. One might say the 10 commandments were introduced to the J--s, but no, they weren't. They were given as an earthly copy. The sanctuary/temple on earth was a "pattern" of "heavenly things" (Heb 8:1-5). The heavenly sanctuary is the original "true tabernacle" (Heb 8:2), which contains the ark of God (Revelation 11:19). What was the arks original purpose? It was a container of God's law, the 10 Commandments, tables of testimony.

Exodus 25:21  ... and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.

Exodus 31:18  And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
