I never said this, so not sure where got that from. God's church is a remnant according to God, so its not going to be the biggest one out there. They are also going to be keeping the commandments of God, not commandments of man, until the Second Coming of Jesus..
Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman (church) , and went to make war
with the remnant of her seed, which
keep the
commandments of God, and have the testimony
of Jesus Christ.
Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints; here
are those who keep
the commandments of God and the faith
of Jesus.
Rev 22:14
Blessed are those who
do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.
This will of course be the commandments under God's mercy seat Exo25:21, which we are shown the Testimony of God Exo31:18 Rev15:5 Rev11:19, the Ten Commandments Deut4:13, unedited because God is God and God makes no mistakes and man is not greater than God to edit Him when He promised not to alter His words Psaa89:34, not a jot or tittle Mat5:18-19
We are told the devil deceives the whole world, why we are told the only way to safeguard our salvation is by God's Holy Word. This is not going to be an overnight thing. He has been working throughout history- rewriting history, working with men to rewrite history books and change God's times and laws and we see this clearly happening in history.
God's people are not fooled because they keep their faith in Him and not people
Isa8:20
To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because
there[
a]
is no light in them.
I have no judgement on the Sabbath, Judgement is God's He wrote He spoke, this comamndment, it is under His mercy seat just like the other 9 commandments. Man is not what we need to be worried about Heb10:26-30 , its staying faithful to God. I am just advocating we do so as Jesus told us to Mat5:19
I feel bad you can't see how arrogant it is for your church to say they are
above God's Word and that their power is above God's to change one of God's personally written commandments when God said He would not Mat5:18-19 Psa89:34. Also this is not me saying this about the church you belong to, they say this themselves and much more.
Our faith should be in the One who has the power to sanctify and bless man, that is the God of Creation Exo20:11, the only God we are to worship Rev14:7. No church is above God, when they are teaching against what God said Isa8:20 I would prayerfully consider where our allegiance is because as we are told whoever we obey is who we serve Rom6:16 if you think Rome can save you, that can be your choice, my faith is in Jesus John 14:6 what did He teach, how did He live, that is who we should be following, that is who the apostles modeled their life after including Sabbath-keeping Luke4:16 John15:10 1John2:6 and told us we ought to obey
God over man. Acts 5:29
In the Bible in the end there are two women who represent two churches- one that is pure they obey God and the other church is the harlot. The adulteresses mother church (and her daughters) that takes on a form of godliness, but without the power. This church God said is the one who changed His times and laws Dan7:25 Consider the quotes I provided of what your own church claims they did based on their own sense of power over God's, in their own words- said this change is a
mark of their authority over God's. You place your faith in your church, we need to have the faith of and in Jesus. Rev14:12
This is in the last days, which I believe we are close, when the devil impersonates God and comes as an angel of light. I believe this will happen shortly after there is a decree that prohibits people to obey one of God's commandments, much like in the time of Daniel, why this story is in the prophetic book. If we are already believing his doctrine, the deception will be great.
I am betting my life on what God said verbatim Deut4:13 Exo20:1-17 Exo31:18 Rev15:5 He wrote it our plainly and clearly and said if you love Me keep My commandments Exo20:6 John14:15, I love Jesus so that's where my faith is.
Isn't that what you are doing. Provide one Scripture where we are commanded to keep the first day holy by God. Provide one scripture where God transferred the Sabbath sanctification from the Sabbath to Sunday. Provide one Scripture where God in His own words said Sunday is My holy day? Its a counterfeit to what God in the Bible said, that sadly most follow over being faithful to God because God only said these things about the Sabbath.
Yes it does plainly because the apostles were faithful to God, not man.
Acts 13:42 So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.
Acts 13:44 On the next Sabbath almost the whole city came together to hear the word of God.
(fulfillment of Jesus prophecy that My house will be a house of prayer for all nations)
Acts 18:4 And he reasoned in the synagogue
every Sabbath, and
persuaded both Jews and Greeks.
Acts 15:21 For Moses has had throughout
many generations those who preach him
in every city, being read in the synagogues
every Sabbath.”
Many generations means
The Greek phrase is:
ἐκ γενεῶν ἀρχαίων (
ek geneōn archaion)
= “from ancient generations,” “from long ages,” “from many generations back.”
The apostles also continued doing this
every Sabbath, because God's people keep God's commandments Exo20:8-11 Lev23:3 Isa58:13 throughout generations just as God promised Exo31:13 . And the Sabbath continues on for eternity thus saith the Lord Isa66:23 because God does not change, thus saith the Lord. Mal3:6 Heb13:8
