calling all 'christians', are you true?

Question

how many of you 'keep the sabbath day holy' by not working or eating on saturday (which is the 7th day of the week btw)

im willing to bet if we could take a pole across america less than 10% of you actually follow the rules of your religion & it's bible, yet you believe all the lies told to you by the preacher and you defend your 'faith' with all your mind

ps, google 'bertrand russell', 'why i am not a christian' if you can handle the truth

Answer 1

I keep the 7th day Sabbath Sabbath (sunset Friday to sunset Saturday)

The Bible does not say you can't eat on the Sabbath. God in Exodus 16 says gather extra food on Friday to have on Sabbath.

Nehemiah 8:9-12 says
"This day is sacred to the LORD your God. Do not mourn or weep." For all the people had been weeping as they listened to the words of the Law. Nehemiah said, "Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength." The Levites calmed all the people, saying, "Be still, for this is a sacred day. Do not grieve." Then all the people went away to eat and drink, to send portions of food and to CELEBRATE with GREAT JOY, because they now understood the words that had been made known to them.

Answer 2

You are right about one thing, I do not keep the sabbath on Saturday. I don`t work on Sunday, and I eat once on Sunday. I study the bible and go to church for 4 hours on Sunday. I also follow the new testament, not the old

And are you doing a pole or a poll?

Answer 3

So are you trying to say that not keeping the Sabbath day Holy makes you an untrue Christian? God Bless you and keep reading the bible, one day you may stop seeking contradictions, ways to discredit someones belief, and actually learn something...

Answer 4

Jesus was a Sabbath breaker, but a slick one, he could have been stoned to death for breaking the sabbath with his boys (disciples) but he confounded the Jews with riddles and sick talk.( kinda like Satan in the bible) When asked about why he was breaking the sabbath and allowing his disciples to do the same he replied, "IS the sabbath for man? or man for th e sabbath?" tricking his way out of a death of stoning by self righteous Pharisees

Answer 5

As a Christian I am bound by the New Testament not the Old Testament. Sounds like further study there might clarify things for you.

Answer 6

Seeing as I'm not a Christian, and a workaholic, I don't really care.

I will ring your doorbell and run away!!!

Answer 7

Freedom from Sabbath-keeping

Some today insist that Christians must keep the Sabbath day, that those who worship on the first day of the week (Sunday) are in great error. They reason that "Sun-day" comes from the pagan worship of the Sun god, that Jesus and Paul kept the Sabbath day as an example for us to follow, and that the Roman Catholic church is responsible for the change in the day of worship. Those who continue to worship on Sunday will receive the mark of the beast.

Let’s briefly look at these arguments. First, nowhere does the Fourth Commandment say that Christians are to worship on the Sabbath. It commands that we rest on that day: "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shall you labor, and do all your work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God: in it you shall not do any work . . . 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" (Exodus 20:8–11). Sabbath-keepers worship on Saturday. However, the word "Satur-day" comes from the Latin for "Saturn’s day," a pagan day of worship of the planet Saturn (astrology).

If a Christian’s salvation depends upon his keeping a certain day, surely God would have told us. At one point, the apostles gathered specifically to discuss the relationship of believers to the Law of Moses. Acts 15:5–11, 24–29 was God’s opportunity to make His will clear to His children. All He had to do to save millions from damnation was say, "Remember to keep the Sabbath holy," and millions of Christ-centered, God-loving, Bible-believing Christians would have gladly kept it. Instead, the only commands the apostles gave were to "abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication."

There isn’t even one command in the New Testament for Christians to keep the Sabbath holy. In fact, we are told not to let others judge us regarding Sabbaths (Colossian 2:16), and that man was not made for the Sabbath, but the Sabbath for man (Mark 2:27). The Sabbath was given as a sign to Israel (Exodus 31:13–17); nowhere is it given as a sign to the Church. Thousands of years after the Commandment was given we can still see the sign that separates Israel from the world—they continue to keep the Sabbath holy.

The apostles came together on the first day of the week to break bread (Acts 20:7). The collection was taken on the first day of the week (1 Corinthians 16:2). When do Sabbath-keepers gather together to break bread or take up the collection? It’s not on the same day as the early Church. They tell us that the Roman Catholic church changed their day of worship from Saturday to Sunday, but what has that got to do with the disciples keeping the first day of the week? That was the Roman Catholic church in the early centuries, not the Church of the Book of Acts.

Romans 14:5–10 tells us that one man esteems one day of the week above another; another esteems every day alike. Then Scripture tells us that everyone should be fully persuaded in his own mind. We are not to judge each other regarding the day on which we worship.

Jesus did keep the Sabbath. He had to keep the whole Law to be the perfect sacrifice. The Bible makes it clear that the Law has been satisfied in Christ. The reason Paul went to the synagogue each Sabbath wasn’t to keep the Law; that would have been contrary to everything he taught about being saved by grace alone (Ephesians 2:8,9). It was so he could preach the gospel to the Jews, as evident in the Book of Acts. Paul had an incredible evangelistic zeal for Israel to be saved (Romans 10:1). To the Jew he became as a Jew, that he might win the Jews (1 Corinthians 9:19,20). That meant he went to where they gathered on the day they gathered.

D. L. Moody said, "The Law can only chase a man to Calvary, no further." Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law so we are no longer in bondage to it. If we try to keep one part of the Law (even out of love for God), we are obligated to keep the whole Law (Galatians 3:10)—all 613 precepts. If those who insist on keeping the Sabbath were as zealous about the salvation of the lost as they are about other Christians keeping the Sabbath, we would see revival.

Answer 8

It is not easy to be a good christian, but it is very easy to be a great atheist. What is easy is not always best.

Answer 9

thats why Jesus came. God knew we couldnt obey his law completely. We live in a period of grace. God doesnt expect us to be perfect

Answer 10

Have you never read the book of Colossians ?
