Answers from non-christians are not important. So don't bother answering.

Answer 1

and you wonder why you get attacked for your fundamentalist beliefs.

When would your great Jesus have turned his back to someone just because they did or could not believe in him. i recall a few stories where he even helped people that rejected him.

good example you are setting there.

Answer 2

Revelation 14 says that 3 messages go out to the world right before the end comes. The first message says worship the creator and then it quotes the 4th commandment.

God is calling his people to return to the commandments and worship Him as He has described. He wants His people to leave man made traditions and come back to His word

Sunday is a tradition of man God expects His followers to Keep the Sabbath Holy as it is stated in the 10 commandments.


I must respectfully disagree with Eds' statements
1) The Old Law was nailed to the cross and the New Testament became our New Law
Is it ok to murder?
Is it ok to steal?
Is it ok to lie?
Is it ok to worship other gods?
Is it ok to to worship idols?

If we should still keep these commands then why should we forget the only command that starts with "REMEMBER"

The law that was nailed to the cross is the Mosaic law. The Mosaic law is seperate from the 10 commandments.

Not to mention this contradicts what Jesus said in Matt 5
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am NOT come to destroy, but fulfil...one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law” until all is fulfilled,”


Jesus says "If you love me keep my commandments"

“Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, 'I know Him,' and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him” (1 John 1:3,4).

“Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness,”

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome” (1 John 5:2,3).

“Here is the patience of the saints here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.”Revelation 14:12,

“Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work…’ 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” (Revelation 22:12,14).

2)Give on the First Day of the week according to the Apostles.
No where in the New Testament or anywhere else in the Bible do we ever see anyone say keep Sunday Holy. No where does the Bible ever call Sunday the new day of worship. The Apostles worshiped on the Sabbath
Acts 13:14
Acts 13:42
Acts 13:44
Acts 16:13
Acts 17:2
Acts 18:4

The Bible shows God's people observing the Sabbath over and over again. From Genesis all the way to Revelation.

The Bible says that God created the Sabbath PERFECT in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:1-3).
It saws that the nation of Israel kept the Sabbath (Exodus 20:8-11).
Jesus kept the Sabbath (Matthew 12:9,10, Mark 1:21, Mark 6:2, Luke 4:16, Luke 4:31, Luke 13:10)
Jesus expected His followers to keep the Sabbath after he went to Heaven (Matthew 24:20)
The Apostles kept the Sabbath. (Acts 13:14, Acts 13:42, Acts 13:44, Acts 16:13, Acts 17:2, Acts 18:4).
God says that we are going to keep the Sabbath in Heaven(Isaiah 66:22).

Yet not once does it ever say anything about keeping Sunday Holy.

Answer 3

Isaiah 66:23 suggests that in the new heavens and the new earth people will be observing new moons and sabbaths. Further than that i do not know, i guess we will have to wait and see what the Lord does when he returns.

Answer 4

I know for sure that at least some of the old "feasts" will be re-instituted i.e. feast of tabernacles, during Christ's 1000 year reign. I'm unsure of other feasts because some were specific to the Jews. I also know there will be punishments to the nations that don't participate i.e. no rain, plagues, etc. But I'm unsure if we Gentiles that were "caught up" will reside upon the earth during this time. One of the mystery's I haven't discovered yet !

Answer 5

The Bible tells us that he is not interested in the traditions of man and that his kingdom is not of this earth. He fulfills all law, and all that we need. In our presence there is no need to remember him symbolically.

Answer 6

The Sabbath Day was done away with after CHRIST ascended into heaven. The Old Law was nailed to the cross and the New Testament became our New Law. We are to partake of the Lord's Supper and Give on the First Day of the week according to the Apostles. Jesus will Judge on the day HE returns. I hope that you are ready for that day to come.

To become a real Christian, we are told that we must HEAR the WORD in John 6:45, Jesus said, “It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught by God. Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.” We are also told so in Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. We are told the we must BELIEVE in Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. We are also told so in Mark 16:16, Jesus said “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.” and in John 5:24 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. We are told that we must REPENT (or turn from sin) in Luke 13:3 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Also in Acts 17:30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent. We are told to CONFESS CHRIST in Romans 10:9-10 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. We are also told in 1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. We are to be BAPTIZED according to Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” and Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. We are to CONTINUE to be FAITHFUL UNTIL DEATH according to Revelation 2:10c Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. We also know that Paul wrote in Romans 14:12 each of us shall give account of himself to God. It is important that we not ignore what is written, change what is written, or add to what is written in the New Testament which is our Christian Guide. Have a great week.

Answer 7

I think that those who followed Christ will be in heaven and we'll have a perfect relationship with Christ, so those things won't be necessary.
