Exodus 20:8-11 is the mostly debate than any of the Ten Commandments. Many Christians saying we should obey the Ten Commandments. When I was Lutheran in my young life. They saying we must obey the Ten Commandments. But, they didn't discuss about the fourth Commandment on sabbath.
Sabbath is the most debate among Christianity today.
SDA, and Judasism saying we must obey the fourth Comamndment to keep it holy, they saying sabbath is on the seventh day, which is on Saturday, not Sunday.
Many Christianity religion switched from Saturday(Sabbath) to Sunday, because Christ risen on the first day of week. So, they rest on the first day of the week, and worship Christ on Sunday.
Do you think it is ok to break the fourth Commandment, while they work on the seventh day, and rest on the first day of the week?
7 years ago, I digged research on sabbath with scriptures and church history on sabbath.
I found there are many twists of verses in KJV on the timing of Calvary, sabbath, and resurrection.
I realized KJVO debate is not necessary. I am not KJVO. KJV is not 100% perfect. Also, I learned that 1611 A.V. was control by Roman Catholic with Anglicans. Not by Protestants.
Sunday was established by Roman Catholics. Many Christians were persecuted and killed for keeping sabbath in the past.
I notice verse about the resurrection of Christ in KJV. In Matt. 28:1 of KJV, it says, "In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first 'DAY' of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other other Mary to see the sepulchre." Notice it says, 'DAY', it shows it is italic. I learned that word shows italic in King James Version, that the translators added 'day' in KJV, because 'day' was find in Greek translation.
Also, I learned that the calendar was invented by Julius Ceasar around 400 A.D. almost all Christianity religions use Roman Calendar. My question, why not we follow Jew calendar? Huh?
Also, the seven names of days were invented by Paganism. Sunday = Sun, Monday = Moon, Tuesday = ? Wednesday =? Thursday = Thor, Friday = ? Saturday = Saturn.
I consider that we should not use Roman calendar, we are supposed to use Jewish calendar because of sabbath.
I do NOT consider Christ was actual died on Friday. I strongly believe Christ died on Wednesday. Because Christ told them that, He will be risen after three days. I believe he was actually died for literal 3 days, NOT just only one day according Catholic's theology!!! Stop and think..... if suppose we use Good Friday, that Christ died on Friday, then he risen on the very early Sunday morning according as what KJV saying. So, that mean He died for only 1 1/2 day, not 3 days. Huh???
I strong believe Christ was actual risen ON sabbath day, not Sunday morning. Because, Mary and her friend came and visit Christ's tomb on the first day of week, that is after sabbath. Christ was NOT there in the tomb. He was gone. I believe that Christ was actual risen ON sabbath day!!!
Why, not we worship on sabbath, because Christ IS the sabbath?
I do not think it is ok for us to break the fourth Commandment. Because we disobey God's Word. We are supposed to keep the commandment - John 15:16.
Many saying Christ died on Friday afrernoon before sabbath come at 6 o' clock according Jewish religion.
I do not think so. Because I can see so many twists in King James Verison on the timing of Christ's death, sabbath, and resurrection.
KJV was written by Roman Catholic. Catholic caused many Christianity religions to observation Sunday instead of sabbath. Even, baptist churches having service on Sunday.
There is much confusion on sabbath and Sunday today.
Funny, during Old Testament period, there was no debate about timing of sabbath. Because the saints understood that, sabbath is on the seventh day, they were follow the fourth Commandment.
Now, there is so debate on sabbath and Sunday.
For me, I do not it is okay for us to continue break the fourth Commandmant. I think God is not please with us today thank to Catholic.
I agree with SDA that we are not supposed follow or compromising with Babylon system of Revelation 17 & 18 because of sabbath matter.
I am fear that baptist churches are already compromising with Babylon system. Rev. 18:4 warns us that we MUST come out of this system. God will judge them.
Later this week, we will discuss more about sabbath issue with verses and church history.
In Christ
Rev. 22:20 - Amen!
