my mom understands about her taking her sabbath day but she shouldn't cook and leave all the dishes for my mom to do. and then she will go to church on sundays and cooks then too and my mom will have to clean up her mess on sundays also.

oh yeah, she doesn't work she is drawing ssi benefits

Answer 1

The Bible begins with a statement. "Elohim Yom"
In the beginning GOD = Elohim Yom. (The word Elohim has a plural connotation).

After making that mind-boggling statement The Bible continues by describing the six days of creation. Genesis 2:3 "And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it; because that in it he had rested (a) from all his work (b) which God created and made."

Exodus 20:11 "For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day; wherefore, the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it."

This was given to Moses and the Israelites to show them that they should cease from their normal activities and meditate on the glory of HIS person and the wonders of His creation.

There is no evidence that "the Sabbath information" was given to Adam, to Enoch, Noah, or Abraham. Study The Bible, and other ancient historical documents - NO Sabbath rest was observed by man before Exodus 16. In Exodus 16 very specific guidelines were given to the CHILDREN OF ISRAEL for its observance.

The Sabbath is VERY SPECIAL. It is a command given to THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL by GOD. Exodus 31:16,17 "Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant."

It is a sign between ME and the children of Israel forever: for in six days…….. .
Deuteronomy 5:15 reiterates…therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the Sabbath day. What a glorious commemoration of the deliverance of the Jews out of Egypt!

From the above it is quite obvious that THE SABBATH was given by GOD to Israel.

IN the NEW TESTAMENT it is impossible to find any indication at all that the church observed the Sabbath. Of course, the Sabbath was utilized by the propagators of the faith to go in to, or join the Jewish community and tell them of THE CHRIST.

Colossians 2:16,17 certainly indicates that the opposite is true!
"Let no man, therefore, judge you in food, or in drink, or in respect of a feast day, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath day.
Which are a shadow of things to come:but the body is of Christ."

ERGO! When one is a True Christian they are NOT bound by the Sabbath Laws, OR OF ANY DIETARY LAWS - be they Vegetarianism or "thou shalt not eat meat on Friday".



When a person becomes a True Christian and believer in Jesus The Christ We receive a new life, forgiveness of all our sins, and freedom from the legalistic bondage of the law.
Piety can not be tested by whether or not we eat pork, any meats, or other foods, and, or the basis of our observances of annual or monthly Jewish festivals, or for that matter, the weekly Sabbath. To place ones self back under the law is to turn our backs on the GRACE of God! We would be guilty of trying to produce a way of redemption in which grace and the law are mixed together.
We had better look at Galatians 3:10,11 !
For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse; for it is written. Cursed is everyone that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.
But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
"It is finished"



Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by faith the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law; for by works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

Galatians 2:21 I do not make void the grace of God; for if righteousness come by law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Jesus Our Christ said in Mark 2:27 "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath".
He said that of the Pharisees who were putting the strict observance of a sacred day above the welfare of the people. Gods rules and regulations were designed for mans benefit, not as a yolk to be put around mans necks!

Indeed when Jesus comes back again -during the millennial age - Sabbath will be restored.
Isaiah 66:23 "And it shall come to pass that, from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before ME, saith the Lord"

When God instituted the Sabbath, He specified that is was the seventh day of the week. This has never been changed from Saturday to Sunday. It is a good thing for all mankind to rest one day a week, but it is not obligatory for non Jews to TRY AND carry out the IMPOSSIBLE TO CARRY OUT Levitical Sabbath.
Galatians 3:10 "for as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse; for it is written.Cursed is everyone that continueth no in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them."

Ephesians 2:8,9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is a gift of GOD -Not of works, lest any man should boast."



When Jesus The Christ died on the cross and HE was resurrected it marked the beginning of a new special day. THE LORDS DAY - THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK.
Oh what a wonderful day that was for mankind! Released from the Law! "It is Finished!"
Romans 6:14 "…ye are not under the law but under grace"
Romans 10:4 "Christ is the end of the law for righteusness to everyone that believeth."

Our LORD rose on the first day of the week. Mark and Luke and John all record the tomb being found empty on the first day of the week -Sunday.

John 20:19 "Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you."

One week later, again on the FIRST DAY of the week Jesus met with the disciples again.
John 20;26 "And, after eight days, ( c ) again His disciples were inside, an d Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said "Peace be unto you."

The Church (Jesus the Christ's people) gathered in the "upper room" and were baptized with the Holy Spirit fifty days after RESURRECTION SUNDAY.

Acts 20:7 tells us "And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the next day, and continued his speech until midnight.

In Corinthians 16:1, and 2 Paul tells us "Now concerning the collection of the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even to do ye.
Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gathering when I come…"

Indeed ACTS does record Paul going in to the Synagogue to teach - simply because that is where they assembled. That fact has nothing to do with directing "The Faithful" to gather.

Paul said in I Corinthians 19;20 "And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, not being under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law." Paul now a Christian WAS NOT under the law!
Acts 18:4 - 7 also mentions the Sabbath - as a place of evangelizing the Jews.
These two verses are the last mention of the Sabbath in the book of Acts.

Backing up a bit in The Bible I would like to point out another "telling" verse.
Acts 15:10 "Now, therefore, why put GOD to the test, to put a yoke (d) upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?"

THE SABBATH HAS NEVER BEEN CHANGED. IT IS STILL FOR THE JEWS.
SUNDAY IS NOT THE CHRISTIAN SABBATH - THERE IS NO SUCH THING.
WE, TRUE CHRISTIANS WORSHIP ON SUNDAY - THE LORD'S DAY!


My favourite Verse of The Bible regarding the "regulations" imposed on the Jewish is still being used by some "creative thinking" Clergy of today! Colossians 2:16 says" Let no man, therefore, judge you in food, or in drink, or in respect of a feast day, or of the new moon, or of a Sabbath day". If we were to tuck "Tithing " in to this verse we would have all of the leverage used by questionable clergy to squeeze and control their flock.



If and when some one tells you that we should all be vegetarians or not to eat a particular food please quote Romans 14:14 " I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him that esteemeth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean" Dietary restrictions, be they for ceremony or other reasons do not apply to We Christians.

Salvation is of His mercy- not our works!
Titus 3:5 "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us."
Romans 4:5 "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

(a) work --- we today would phrase that - "works".
(b) rested -does not mean that he got tired - it means "arresed" stopped, simply because HE was finished the series of Creation.
(c) Jewish reckoning is that Sunday to Sunday is indeed eight days.
(d) The Law - impossible to keep fully, but a method of control use by "The Clergy".





Historical Information
Worship on Sunday - There is much evidence that Sunday was THE DAY of Christian worship before the perverted church of Rome was INVENTED.

The Epistle = (writing) of Barnabus ( AD 100) "Wherefore also we keep the eighth day with joyfulness, the day also on which Jesus rose again from the dead."

The Epistles = (writings) of Ignatius ( AD 107) a friend of Johns says " And after the observance of the Sabbath, let every friend of Christ keep the Lord's day as a festival, the resurrection day, the queen and chief of all days."
"Those who were concerned with old things have come to newness of confidence, no longer keeping the Sabbath, but living according to the Lord's day, on which our life as risen again through Him depends."

Justin Martyr (ad 145), it is said, "But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day of the week and Jesus Christ our Saviour on the same day rose from the dead."

Justin Martin in his "Dialogue with Trypho, Chapter 47 wrote "But if some, through weak-mindedness, wish to observe such institutions as were given by Moses, along with their hope in Christ, yet choose to live with the Christians and the faithful, as I said before, not introducing them either to be circumcised, like themselves, or to keep the Sabbath, or to observe any other such ceremonies, then I hold that we ought to join ourselves to such, and associate with them in all things as kinsmen and brethren."

Dionycius of Corinth (AD 170) in a writing to the Church in Rome wrote, "Today we kept the Lord's holy day in which we read your letter."

Melito of Sardis (AD 175) wrote a treatise on ----- "The Lord's Day."

Irenaeus ( AD 160-200) wrote " The mystery of the Lord's resurrection may not be celebrated on any other day than the Lord's Day and on this alone should we observe the breaking of the Paschal Feast."

Bardesanes in AD 180 wrote in his book "The Laws of the Countries" "On one day, the first of the week, we assemble ourselves together-------"

Origen (AD 185) "John the Baptizer was born to make ready the people for the Lord, the people fit for Him at the end of the Covenant now grown old, which is the end of the Sabbath." He then went on to write " It is one of the marks of a perfect Christian to keep the Lord's day."

There is much evidence that the above writings were not "doctored" by the R.C. Church in later years by any predecessors of HORT & WESCOTT. ( Those scoundrels, working for Rome, that have given us almost all of the perverted Bibles now in use.)

Even though Ellen White in her vision of April 3,1847 saw a halo of light encircling the fourth commandment - and it has become a cornerstone of the Seventh Day Adventist Group - history shows that Christians, before Constantine, worshipped on Sunday.

I have the problem solved--- I keep EVERY DAY HOLY- and Worship HIM seven days a week.

Strictly speaking the word "Shabbot" in Hebrew means "rest". On the seventh day of the week of creation GOD rested---- HE was not tired-HE does not get tires. He "rested" --- or "arrested" - that is, stopped the series of creation----because IT WAS "ALL DONE", " FINISHED", ARRESTED!

I hope all peoples who keep the SHABBOT do it properly!
Do not flush their own toilets or tear their own toilet paper! FOR THAT IS WORK!
Only walk a few paces to the place of worship (one must live very close), don't drive a car, because turning the key and steering is WORK!
DO NOT let your cat or dog run loose! The animals too must observe!
OBSERVING ANY ONE OF THE 613 LEVITICAL LAWS PUTS YOU UNDER THEM ALL!
Tithing, An exact percentage of moneys to give - Keeping the Shabbot - No labour AT ALL allowed. DO NOT USE ELECTRICITY - because a person had to "work" to deliver that service to you. And on, and on, and on ---

Look up Mark 2:27 - it states that The SHABBOT is made for man-man was not made for the

Answer 2

Sounds like your mom really needs to sit down and talk to your aunt. If she can cook (which is work) then she can clean them dishes too. If she cannot work due to the sabbath then she should go out to eat and let someone else do the cooking and cleaning of dishes. To cook and clean the dishes is a job that goes hand in hand. If your aunt shouldnt work on hr sabbath, cooking is work, so she shouldnt be cooking either.
good Luck! Sabbath; among the jews, Saturday, set apart for rest from work; among christians, Sunday, a time of rest.
Hope this helps!

Answer 3

People observe a sabbath for different reasons. Some believe it is not necessary. It sounds like your aunt defines herself as a believer by her observances. This is a common error. A person's faith is best expressed by the way they treat others and it doesn't sound like your aunt has learned that. If you read a particular part of the Bible you can get rules to follow. If you read the whole thing and take it's message into your heart you will understand that God's requirements are not a burden. They shouldn't be a burden to the people you live with either. I wonder if your aunt is lonely and feels like she can be something more if she practices her religion in a strict way. It is sad, though she probably means well. Maybe she needs a friend, another believer who can show her a better way. I will pray for you and her.

Answer 4

Yes, if she is able she can clean her dishes on the sabbath.
Although many today refer to the Sabbath as Sunday, the Sabbath of the Bible was on Saturday. Even though many think of Sunday as the weekend, most modern calendars show Sunday to be the first day of the week. In the Old Testament, the Jews were commanded to rest on the Sabbath. Since Christians are not under the law we are not commanded to keep it.The Law of Moses was written for the Jews and was only to last until the time of Christ.

Answer 5

I worship on God's actual Sabbath day, it incredibly is Saturday, the seventh day of the week, in accordance to the Bible. i'm a seventh Day Adventist Christian, and that i think that the Sabbath grew to become into on no account replaced to Sunday or completed away with. The Bible does no longer provide ANY indication of this transformation in any respect, and the Sabbath isn't a difficulty it incredibly is to be taken gently. The fourth commandment is the only commandment that starts off with the be conscious "remember." Hmmmmm..... The Sabbath grew to become into on no account replaced by making use of God. guy replaced it, and we could obey God somewhat than guy. I shop the Sabbath as an afternoon to grow to be closer to my writer. i don't have the on a regular basis distractions of paintings and enjoyed ones chores and all that different stuff. i could have an afternoon to take a seat down back and advance my walk with the Lord, and likewise to fellowship with different believers. I additionally use His day to share my faith with others. The Sabbath is actual a blessing. i don't be responsive to what i'd do without it (i'd probable overwork myself and have a frightened breakdown!). you're able to try it sometime. God will bless you. God Bless! Gen. 2:a million-3; Ex. 20:8-11; Luke 4:sixteen; Isa. fifty six:5, 6; fifty 8:13, 14; Matt. 12:a million-12; Ex. 31:13-17; Eze. 20:12, 20; Deut. 5:12-15; Heb. 4:a million-11; Lev. 23:32; Mark a million:32.)

Answer 6

This is a tough question.

If your aunt keeps the seventh day as the Sabbath, it would be comprehensive why she is not willing to wash dishes on that day; but it's not comprehensive why she wouldn't do it on sunday, the first day. Maybe your mom should talk about it with her.

Keeping the Sabbath day holy does not mean you can't even push a button. It's not a burden, but a joy!

Sometimes the theme about how to keep the Sabbath holy may be kind of controversial. You may see this webpage for questions and answers about the Sabbath: http://www.amazingfacts.org/media/radio/question_archive.asp?tName=Sabbath

I would suggest your aunt to see it too. It'll be very helpful.

Well, take care; God bless you!

Answer 7

The prohibition against work on the Sabbath or the Lords Day is against doing work that isn't absolutely neccessary. It is a day given for you to relax. Some people might like cooking or gardening or something like that and it is relaxing for them to do that so it would be fine for them to do that. Some people might like to clean up or do the dishes so it would be fine for them to do that but, it's clear your aunt looks at it as work so why are you upset?Why did your Mom do her dishes for her? Why couldn't the dishes just sit in the sink for a day? It sounds kind of like it's your Mom's problem.

Answer 8

Jesus Christ is Lord of the sabbath. As Christians we have our sabbath rest in Him. We honor the sabbath anytime we stop and think about Him and the works that He did and does. The sabbath for a Christian should happen every minute of every day. It is not a particular day of the week, it is everyday. The sabbath day of the Jews did not carry over into the N.T. Because Jesus Christ Himself, is Lord of the Sabbath. The Jews didn't believe Jesus was God. They still follow the sabbath law, we as Christians have our sabbath rest in Him as He has already come.

Answer 9

Dion Fortune said she used to think people that were real neat,
were godly. The old "cleanliness is next to godliness". Until she
became a psychologist, I realized an obsession with cleanliness
is a sign of sadism.
I'm a clean person, but not obsessive. If someone thinks the dishes need to be done. Then they should do them. And not command others.

Answer 10

Sorry Sweetie, there is no biblical mandate to do the dishes. It is honorable that you wish to defend your mother but here is a good lesson. The battle is not yours it is your moms. You can not fight it for her and anything you try to do will alienate your aunt. Let your mom handle it and keep out of it. If your mom tries to drag you in to it reminder her that you are just a kid if she need advice she should consult an elder not a younger.

Answer 11

Christians keep sunday nowadays It is not sinful to do dishes or even go to the store...Jesus saw an ox in the ditch on the sabbath and tsaid they should rescue it and they did..
