All those claiming a special day to be the Sabbath should Explain this verse for me?
One man esteems one day as better than another, while another man esteems all days alike [sacred]. Let everyone be fully convinced (satisfied) in his own mind. He who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. He also who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; while he who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God. None of us lives to himself [but to the Lord], and none of us dies to himself [but to the Lord, for] Amplified Bible. Romans 14:5-7
Secondly, is the Sabbath a day or a person?
Moreover, what’s the meaning of sabbath?
If Sabbath means REST… then it’s no longer a day but a person named Jesus Christ unless the meaning of your Sabbath has a different contextual interpretation. Because Jesus said; “I will give you rest.” Listen, He never said a particular day will give you rest..
And moreover, those new creations holding onto that sabbatical law.. Do you know what it entails at all?
And do you obey it? .No wonder Jesus set us free from the law
Listen and mediate on this verse..
For while the Law was given through Moses, grace (unearned, undeserved favor and spiritual blessing) and truth came through Jesus Christ. Amplified Bible. John 1:17 [Exod. 20:1.]
The question is, are you saved through Jesus Christ or Moses… If Jesus then it was Grace that preceded not LAW. Listen to what Jesus again said ;
In your [own] Law it is written that the testimony (evidence) of two persons is reliable and valid.Amplified Bible. John 8:17 [Deut. 19:15.]
Listen to that! Jesus never said, according to the laws of my father in heaven. He said in your own law.. Which sound to reasoning that, those 613 articles of the Torah has question mark…
Listen to what Paul said here.. Think about it..
Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that [the murmurs and excuses of] every mouth may be hushed and all the world may be held accountable to God. Amplified Bible. Romans 3:19
NOW WE KNOW THAT WHATEVER THE LAW SAYS, IT SPEAKS TO THOSE WHO ARE UNDER THE LAW.
WHAT!!!!!
This calls for thinking. Which means you must know which people are under the Law…and the new creation is not under laws!
Because Jesus has set us free from it..
Lesson to what Apostle Paul added…
For sin shall not [any longer] exert dominion over you, since now you are not under Law [as slaves], but under grace [as subjects of God's favor and mercy]. Amplified Bible. Romans 6:14
This sound to reasoning that, SIN CREEP INTO THE WORLD BECAUSE OF LAW.
I want to ask this simple question, all those adoring a special day as Sabbath… Are you aware even on that day, you are not to even set fire or cook. I know you are not aware… Let me show you small… You knowing it will help you appreciate the finishes work of Christ… Look this verse..
You shall keep the Sabbath therefore, for it is holy to you; everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does work on the Sabbath shall be cut off from among his people. ]Six days may work be done, but the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, sacred to the Lord; whoever does work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death. Amplified Bible. Exodus 31:14-15
Now let reason here before I delve deeper…
Those who claims a particular day is special… The Bible said, if somebody work on that day.. Kill the person… Why are you not doing it…
Does it mean you are disobeying that instruction given pertaining to that law?
Or you don’t believe in God also?
This should sound to reasoning that, JESUS CAME, THEREFORE THINGS HAS CHANGED
Look at this eye opener also
Wherefore the Israelites shall keep the Sabbath to observe it throughout their generations, a perpetual covenant.Amplified Bible. Exodus 31:16
Such sabbatical law was given to lsrael then… You are from Nkwantanan or Zongo in Accra and you are claiming ownership of that verse…
Listen to me… The Bible has a big voice.. Don’t try to speak for it… Where it’s silence… Keep quite..
And there’s nothing like spiritual lsrael… If there’s, show me with Bible verse..
You are from Ghana… Read the Bible as a new creation and not a jew
For we were Gentiles.. Only GRACE has LOCATED YOU AND I THROUGH JESUS CHRIST..
Amplified Bible. Romans 15:9 And [also in order] that the Gentiles (nations) might glorify God for His mercy [not covenanted] to them. As it is written, Therefore I will praise You among the Gentiles and sing praises to Your name.
Note this young preacher, Until a man learn to study the scriptures through the leading of the Holy spirit.. He will continually follow some false doctrines of his forefathers.
Conclusions
Are you a gentle, Jew, an lsarelist or a new creation..?
If you are a new creation (Gentile) then you are guided by the HOLY SPIRIT
If you are a Jew or lsarelist then please go by the commandments..
I think this is the simply way to explain the entire Bible to you…
And I know that we who are in Christ are the new creation…
No wonder Jesus never promised the new creation a new commandment but rather the holy spirit…
Joh 20:22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
Note.. Not receive ye the Commandments of God but Receive the HOLY SPIRIT
Thank you minister. Buh my question is, if sabbath is Jesus not a day then can i make any day as my rest?? Since days of the week was not mention by God, moses or Jesus. So if i choose Tuesday to be my day of rest, is that a sin?
To the believer everyday is a special day to interact with your father in Heaven.. There must be a constant interaction between you and Him and you don’t need a special day for that. Everyday is a special day to the new creation…
Okay…..but if all days are special then why is some days are considered to be holy than others especially, church service days? Does that mean the rest is ungodly or what? Can you please enlightened me higher?
Hmmm… You’ve asked a good question. No day is special. All days our equal but Christians chose to worship on Sundays because they believe it’s the day christ resurrected as I said in my earlier post. But aside that, all days are equal and holy. This is the reason why I’m teaching this topic to erase that mentality in people that some days are special… ALL DAYS ARE EQUAL BUT IF YOU SELECT SOME DAYS TO BE SPECIAL FOR YOU, DON’T CONDEM THOSE WHO DOESN’T.
Thank you minister. I love you.
Love you more jrbaakope
