Can you see where a departure from God's original Sabbath led to Atheism, Agnosticism and Infidelity?

Question

This departure from God's Sabbath day cause mankind to turn away from God. The breach in God's Law must be repaired.

The historical biblical Sabbath is a memorial of God's
Creation.

Therefore when mis-guided men departed from the worship of God and the Law of God(including the Sabbath) and transition to Sun-Worship this led the human race into Atheism and Agnosticism(One who believes that God doesn't exist).

The original Sabbath pointed men to the worship of the CREATOR. Something happen when the Sabbath was no longer held in high esteem. The emergence of Agnosticism in our culture.

Could it be that God is leading us back to his Sabbath? Leading us back to faith in God as the Creator of heaven and earth. Leading us back to his restoration and redemption?

What do you think? Agree or Disagree?

Answer 1

I do agree with you to some degree. I am a Seventh Day Adventist, so I keep the Sabbath. And while I do think that God is trying to lead His people back to His true Sabbath and that the Sabbath will be a testing point in the last days, I think that even if we hadn't of turned away from the Sabbath, there would still be atheism and such. Even before people started keeping Sunday, there were people who chose not to believe in God and rejected Him. So I don't think that the reason we have atheism is because most Christians have rejected the Sabbath. But God does want his people to return to the true Sabbath, Saturday, and He is trying to lead us back to the Sabbath. Those of us who know the truth of the Sabbath have a responsibility to share it with the world.

Answer 2

Well, that would depend if you are Jewish or not...
A Jew's Sabbath Day is the original one God laid out in the OT
As a Christian, we are not under the same covenant as the Jews, therefore we have a different day to portray this difference. The change in holy day came from the desire of the original Christians to separate themselves from the Jewish traditions around them. The day they chose was the day Christ rose from the dead, signifying their belief in the new covenant He had created for them.
I agree entirely that God is trying to lead us (humans) to him, but not to the original Sabbath. God wants us to accept the fact that his Son died for us all, and to not have to go through the rituals and rules from the first covenant.
Good question

Answer 3

It extremely relies upon on your overview of the comprehend info and info. think of roughly each and every of the gods or myths, all of us comprehend, or a minimum of have a sturdy concept that some, like the Greek gods, that they did no longer exist. further, we've not got any subject brushing off Santa as being a narrative. extremely, I see no info of any style of gods consequently i opt to no longer have self belief in the existence of any of them. there is no genuine benefit in agnostic over atheist, it is extra a statment of your concept technique.

Answer 4

Actually what you are preaching is a return to the curse of the law by which no one could be saved. You are talking about a human works based solution when the true solution is for lives to be changed one at a time as the gospel message is shared and people become new creations in Christ by the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit.

Don't you know what the NT teaches about the Sabbath? The Sabbath law was a shadow or things to come, namely the rest that believers can find from trying to be justified before God by a works based covenant.

Galatians 3:10 For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them." 11 Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for "The righteous shall live by faith." 12 But the law is not of faith, rather "The one who does them shall live by them." 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us--for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree"-- 14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.

Colossians 2:13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. 15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him. 16 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. 17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

If you really want to keep the Sabbath then start at 6:00pm Friday night when the Sabbath day begins and don't do any work until the same time Saturday night. Don't light a fire on the stove in your house and don't go out in the yard and pick up any sticks.


Exodus 35:1 Moses assembled all the congregation of the people of Israel and said to them, "These are the things that the LORD has commanded you to do. 2 Six days work shall be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on it shall be put to death. 3 You shall kindle no fire in all your dwelling places on the Sabbath day."

Numbers 15:32 While the people of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. 33 And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation. 34 They put him in custody, because it had not been made clear what should be done to him. 35 And the LORD said to Moses, "The man shall be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp."

Answer 5

Disagree...with rigor.
The Sabbath never was a day of worship. To the devout Jew, as to the devout Christian, every day is a day of worship. The Temple and the local synagogue was always open for business.
If you have read the commandment in Exodus, you will know that the Sabbath was, first and foremost, a day of rest.
I am going to go out on a limb here, and guess that you are SDA?
Do you start your car on Saturday? You have broken the commandment. You "kindled a fire"...bad.
Do you stop for gas, or do any kind of shopping on Saturday? You have broken the commandment. You paid someone to wait on you. No-no.
Do you take your family out to dinner after Saturday services?
You guessed it...broken the commandment. Again, you have paid someone to work for you...menial labor, at that! You're going to hell for sure!
Or do you cook on the Sabbath?
Uh-oh...I think you know the drill...
Are you beginning to get the picture? Your going to church on Saturday will not alleviate your guilt. You have broken the very command you are so proud of keeping...and what is worse, you have taught others to do the same!
Come to think of it...do you attend evening services on Saturday? If you do, you have, without even realizing it, done exaclty what you are accusing other Christians of doing. You have actually attended church on Sunday! Oh, DEAR!!
Fortunately for you, Jesus took care of this problem for you. He clarified His Father's law. It is acceptable in God's sight to do good on the Sabbath. Just make sure that your motives are right...not selfish, as in trying to make yourself "righteous" by keeping the law, for instance. You'd better get out your microscope, and go over that law with care...because, you know, if you are trying to justify yourself by keeping the law, but you transgress, even in the tiniest point, you are guilty of ALL!! (Check the label on your Sabbath dress...hopefully you are not wearing a mixed fabric!)
I could go on. I could point out to you, for instance, that whether we realize it or not, in our culture, we do still "honor the Sabbath day". Traditionally, Saturday is the day of rest and relaxation, yes, even for the atheist and the agnostic.
I do hope I have not offended you. I suppose I could have been a tad less sarcastic in my answer, but, if you will simply read the fourth commandment in it's entirety, I think you will see what I am talking about.
God bless you...
OH, and thanks for your concern. I think the problem is that we, as Christians, have allowed our faith to be shoved to the background too often. We let the ACLU frighten us into a dark corner. We need to stand up and FIGHT for our right to our religion! Make our voices HEARD!! You have the RIGHT to speak freely! You have the RIGHT to freedom to practice your religion without government interference.
If we do not stand up for our RIGHTS as US citizens, it won't be long before our children find themselves huddled in a basement to worship God....if they worship Him at all! It won't matter what day it is...

Answer 6

Uh seriously disagree. I am in the South. My mama taught me better then that. It had nothing to do with Chruch. It has to do with just being a polite human being.

Answer 7

God Angel-tigress your long winded. But you're right.

Answer 8

you sound brain washed, zombie like, as if you've been fed lines like a robot and have been stripped of all personal thoughts, reduced to a broken record of a person, i think your pathetic and i strongly disagree

Answer 9

Ohh...so as a believer, collectively it's your fault, I see.

Answer 10
