Why sabbath keeping is necessary to receive salvation

The Bible makes it incredibly clear...

It is the Devil who, "makes war with those who keep the commandments of God".

Now I want to hear it from your own lying lips. Should a person "calling" himself a Christian, keep the 10 commandments, or not.

Satan... your response?

Now THERE is someone who is TRULY dead, from the neck up!

Was the Sabbath made only for the Jews?


This falsehood has gained such strength that multitudes of Christians refer to it as the "Jewish Sabbath." But nowhere do we find such an expression in the Bible. It is called "the sabbath of the Lord," but never "the sabbath of the Jews." Exodus 20:10. Luke was a Gentile writer of the New Testament and often made reference to things which were peculiarly Jewish. He spoke of the "nation of the Jews," "the people of the Jews," "the land of the Jews," and the "synagogue of the Jews." Acts 10:22; 12:11; 10:39; 14:1. But please note that Luke never referred to the "sabbath of the Jews," although he mentioned the Sabbath repeatedly.

Christ clearly taught that "the sabbath was made for man." Mark 2:27. The fact is that Adam was the only man in existence at the time God made the Sabbath. There were no Jews in the world for at least 2,000 years after creation. It could never have been made for them. Jesus used the term "man" in the generic sense, referring to mankind. The same word is used in connection with the institution of marriage which was also introduced at creation. Woman was made for man just as the Sabbath was made for man. Certainly no one believes that marriage was made only for the Jews.

The fact is that two beautiful, original institutions were set up by God Himself before sin ever came into the world - marriage and the Sabbath. Both were made for man, both received the special blessing of the Creator and both continue to be just as holy now as when they were sanctified in the Garden of Eden.

It is also interesting to note that Jesus was the One who made the Sabbath in the first week of time. There was a reason for His claim to be Lord of the Sabbath day (Mark 2:28). If He is the Lord of the Sabbath day, then the Sabbath must be the Lord's day. John had a vision on "the Lord's day," according to Revelation 1:10. That day had to be the Sabbath. It is the only day so designated and claimed by God in the Bible. In writing the Ten Commandments, God called it "the sabbath of the Lord." Exodus 20:10. In Isaiah He is quoted as saying, "The sabbath, my holy day." (Isaiah 58:13).

But we must not overlook the fact that this God who created the world and made the Sabbath was Jesus Christ Himself. John wrote: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. ... And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth." John 1:1-3, 14.

Paul clearly identified Jesus as the Creator, "... his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood. ... For by him were all things created." Colossians 1:13-16.
For Christians to separate Jesus from the Sabbath is a tragic mistake. For He is the Author, the Maker, the Sanctifier, and the Architect of the Sabbath. To discount the blessing which He placed on that day is to deny His authority.

This argument has led many to believe that the Sabbath existed only for a limited period of time following creation. But is this a fact? Actually, the Sabbath could never be just a type or shadow of anything, for the simple reason that it was made before sin entered the human family. Certain shadows and typical observances were instituted as a result of sin and pointed forward to the deliverance from sin. Such were the sacrifices employed to symbolize the death of Jesus, the Lamb of God. There would have been no animal sacrifices had there been no sin. These offerings were abolished when Christ died on the cross, because the types had met their fulfillment (Matthew 27:51). But no shadow existed before sin entered this world; therefore, the Sabbath could not be included in the ceremonial law of types and shadows.

Paul referred to the temporary system of ordinances in Colossians 2:14-16 as being "against us" and "contrary to us." He tied it to the meat offerings, drink offerings, and yearly festivals of the law that was "blotted out." It is true he referred to sabbaths also in the text, but take careful note that he called them "sabbath days which are a shadow of things to come." Were some sabbath days blotted out at the cross? Yes, there were at least four yearly sabbaths which came on certain set days of the month, and they were nailed to the cross. They were shadows and required specified meat and drink offerings. All of these annual sabbaths are described in Leviticus 23:24-36, and then summarized in verses 37 and 38: "These are the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day: beside the sabbaths of the Lord."

The Scripture plainly differentiates between the annual, shadowy sabbaths and the weekly "sabbaths of the Lord." The ceremonial sabbaths were blotted out at the cross; they had been added as a consequence of sin. But the Sabbath of the Ten-Commandment law had been hallowed before sin was introduced and was later incorporated into the great moral law written by the finger of God. It was eternal in its very nature.

Here is a better question,

are you righteous because Christ fulfilled the law and your faith is in what he has done to fulfill all righteousness.

Or are you a depending on your own ability to fulfill the law and come to God by your own righteousness?


The difference is the first is faith and in the Spirit and the second is self righteousness and in the flesh.

Yes as Christians we should have the desire to be like Christ but remember that being a Christian doesn't rid us of the flesh. It's a battle each and every day to do the Lord's will or your own.

All sins are equal, nothing is worse than the other. Do you ever want anything of your neighbors, say their car, or their boat, or their wife or husband even? That's coveting, it's a sin. Do you lie to protect yourself or someone else? Lying is a sin. At what point do you draw the line between saved and unsaved. Yes you will know them by their fruit. You don't make a habit of sinning. Sometimes we do it without even thinking about it. It's because we're still cursed of the flesh. But our heart should desire to be like Christ. Paul himself said, "why is I do the things I don't want to do and I don't do the things I want to do?" And here is a man who wrote many books of the Bible. Whom God loved as he loves us all. Christianity doesn't equal perfectionism.

We will not be without spot or wrinkle until we're without the flesh.

In all things, praise the Lord. We will stumble, but believe in the Lord. He's there to pick you up, love you and help you to walk the straight and narrow.

Staying in the Word and pursuing Him puts us in fellowship with him. He'll protect and guide us.

We've all fallen short and will continue to fall short. But through the life, death and resurrection of Christ we're made whole.

It is the Power that Jesus imparts unto us who are WILLING to be obedient to His commandments. If He can make a DAY Holy, He is able to make US holy.

Are you trying to tell me that we are COMMANDED to do the impossible?

Huh?

God COMMANDS us to do the impossible??


With God, ALL things are possible. Go now, and sin no more.

I still haven't heard a legitimate answer to the question:

SHOULD A CHRISITAN KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS, OR NOT?


A very simple and straight forward question. Stop dancing, and answer the question.

The answer is so simple and obvious, but those of you who continue to rebel against God's eternal law, REFUSE to answer.

Well, you WILL answer someday. Plain and simple.

Quote:


You are a clueless imbecile, with absolutely no understanding of scripture.

Go ahead. break the commandments. Teach others that it is OK, as well. You will be without excuse.

Poor Kay is an instrument for the devil, and doesn't even realize it. She is waging war against those who keep the commandments of God.

She (and others) have the mistaken belief (because they've been deceived) that obedience, is "legalism". she regards God's law as "ridiculous". That is her choice. That was Satans choice, as well.


The epistle to Titus says to "avoid foolish disputes about the law". that is because Jesus said:

"Think NOT that I came to abolish the law."

and...

"For ASSUREDLY, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by NO MEANS pass from the law till all is fulfilled."

***ALL***

"Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever DOES and TEACHES them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."


The REASON that we are to avoid disputes regarding the law, is because THERE IS NOTHING TO ARGUE ABOUT! Jesus said so, himself.

Titus also says to "REJECT a divisive man after the first and second admonition, knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned."

What is sin? TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW! The person aguing AGAINST keeping God's commandments, is the one who is warped and SINNING. A true believer instinctively knows that...

OF COURSE, we are to keep Gods' commandments.



There is nothing to argue about.

Im just a casual obsever too..and ill say this...

To those who insists on KEEPING the law...according to what YOU believe..if you DONT keep the law you are doomed??

Right??

And according to the bible..."Those who keep the whole law and stuble in ONE POINT are GUILTY OF ALL.."..

So..for those "LAW" keepers...tell me...how many of you STILL have NOT hacked off your foreskins???...have NOT made yourselves cerimonially clean and all that other stuff..all 660 laws or so...that you DONT keep...

You constantly niggle over ONE law..like ANY good fuckung cult DOES..and BREAK THE FUCKING REST!!!Fucking hypocrites!!!

You are..according to what IVE read in the bible...just as bad as the fucking PHARISEES...straining at GNATS..and swollowing fucking CAMELS...and loading other down with loads to great to bear..namley their DOOM...and YOU selfrighteous elitist FUCKS wont lift a FINGER to help..instead you just load on MORE and MORE and MORE GULT..promising MORE and MORE and MORE DOOM...to all those NOT as stuck up and self fucking righteous as YOU lot are..


JUST LIKE THE FUCKING PHARISEES!!!


FUCKING DOOOOOMED!!!!..ALL of you...

Well, I am a casual observer of this thread, and I must say, the pro commandment keepers are totally burying the hollow logic of those who are "grace" only Chrisitans. Sure, it is grace that saves us, but it is BECAUSE we are saved, that we keep His commandments. What part of that, don't you rocket scientists don't get? LOL...

To the armchair bible scholar in the above quote, HERE is the BEST question...

Are we able to keep God's commandments by own OWN power and righteousness?

Of course not.

It is the Power that Jesus imparts unto us who are WILLING to be obedient to His commandments. If He can make a DAY Holy, He is able to make US holy.

Are you trying to tell me that we are COMMANDED to do the impossible?

Huh?

Galatians 3
25 Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law.

Challenge to all the religious leaders, theologians, and Bible students:

Give at least one Bible verse which proves that Christ or anyone of His disciples sanctioned the transfer of the holy Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday.


I have already posted Acts 15.

James, Paul and Peter said this:


"It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God.

20Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood.


THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING.

Here are the RULES FOR THE GENTILES, as dictated by James, the brother of the LORD, Paul and SIMON PETER.

There is NO mention of the Sabbath in that verse.

Do NOT add or take away from Gods' word so that you can do Gods' word. Deut. 4:2. 12:32 & Prov. 30:6.
