This isn't merely a stated assumption, but rather the precise instruction outlined in Exodus 20:9-11, which you've been advocating to uphold. I'm simply offering assistance because you're committed to avoiding sin as outlined in 1 John 3:4-9. (Now, I'm curious if perhaps you haven't been...

It seems like you might not have noticed, but your statement doesn't align with the Sabbath commandment in Exodus 20:8-11. Both you and SB appear to be fine with this inconsistency. The commandment specifies that the Sabbath is to be set by working for six days, following God's example. Isaiah...

Happy Sabbath! I wanted to let you know that I'll be traveling to China for some leisure time, so I might not have access for about a week. So, it's something to ponder: does taking leisure time during holidays conflict with the Sabbath Commandment? Given this discussion, it seems there's no...

Exactly! That's what I was trying to convey. If you advocate for six days of work, then that's commendable.:thumbsup: Which the means of obeying this commandment is by laboring for six days in order to sanctify the seventh day. Exo 20:8-11

The reason we keep going in circles is because you persistently misunderstand even the simplest statements made by someone who is alive. Take a look at my statement below and your response. I asked for a scripture that directly states drawing near to God equates to exalting a specific day...

I find your approach quite intriguing. My post#275 should have summarized our findings, yet it seems you're inclined to restart the conversation from scratch. Perhaps your strategy is to persist until someone relents. Anyway, Isaiah 58:13 condemns those who work on the Sabbath day, a sentiment...

Let's delve deeper into the issue of confusion. You've clarified that there's no tradition mandating the observance of the Sabbath day as holy. You've cited examples from the lives of Jesus, the apostles, and instructions from scripture. However, since the activities you mentioned are meant to...

Speaking of confusion, let's examine this matter. How do you keep the Sabbath holy today without relying on human traditions? Jesus never mentioned that attending a temple on the Sabbath, especially one that neither worships Him nor follows His teachings but ultimately crucified Him, is a means...

Your argument appears logical, but there's a crucial aspect you may have overlooked. The obligation observed on that particular day stems from an old covenant, as outlined in Exodus 31:17, which Paul later deemed flawed in Hebrews 8:7. Anyway, how do you keep the Sabbath holy today without...

A troubling aspect of contemporary Christianity is when individuals, perhaps not as well-versed in scripture as they should be, assume roles as teachers, even earning a salary for their efforts. It's concerning when someone lacks depth in defending their beliefs and instead resorts to falsely...

But Paul said what Moses did faded. That's the key. I recommend establishing a connection between the scriptural statements. Jesus demonstrated that God continues to work on the Sabbath but rests from the act of creation.

It is imperative to seek closeness to God every day. In your perspective, differentiating the seventh day from the rest is essential. However, the method to achieve this remains unresolved. We've explored instances where Jesus and the Apostles visited the temple of false teachings on the...

Are you implying that Paul is mistaken in this instance?

It seems you might have overlooked the fact that Jesus mentioned that God continued to work on the Sabbath day. Just as you mentioned, the commandments hold deeper meaning. In the past, observing the Sabbath was a means of drawing closer to God. However, now God desires us to draw near to Him...

Okay, so right now, nobody's breaking the Sabbath. Anyway, dedicating ourself to God is do what God wants us to do, like you once mentioned before about keeping ourselves clean. When we do that, it's like following God's way instead of our own. For example, when we're working with colleagues, we...
