Look up the word Sabbath and know it is written as the day of rest for all people after creation in 6 days?

Question

People are confused about the celebration of his resurection,Sunday ,and His day of rest Satuday.In the Bible it states that we are to change not one word,yet religiuos leaders have ignored Gods wishes.What is the penalty

Answer 1

The Bible also states that under the New Covenant we are free from the law. :)

Answer 2

Isn't there still a big controversy, though, about which day of the week the first day was? Some say Sunday came first, making Saturday the Sabbath. Others claim it was Monday first, and that the Sabbath is Sunday. How will we ever know? (Not to mention the whole problem of a "day" being defined by humans as we experience our rotation in orbit around the sun...what does a "day" even mean without celestial bodies?)

Answer 3

You are changing God's word when you LEAVE OUT or CHANGE the part that Sabbath was given to the JEWS ONLY as a sign of the covenant between us and God.

And no, you cannot be 'grafted onto' us. Nor is there any need to be. Non-Jews are to become Righteous, as given by God on Mt. Sinai, by following the paths of a Noahide, not by believing in a virgin human pagan blood sacrifice for sin called Jesus. This concept of human sacrifice for sin is ancient PAGANISM, and has never been found in Judaism. This is not now, nor has it ever been, the role of the Messiah.

P.S. To Evolver: No Jew either in ancient times nor today has ever "worshipped the day of Sabbath" over God. This has got to be one of the most ridiculous things ever written or inferred in the Xtian bible.
P.S.S. To Evolver: Nope, I didn't know that it was a 7th Day Adventist conversation. However, the question concerns a Jewish text, not a Christian text, and a verse that is for Jews only, not anyone else. This cannot be changed.

Answer 4

Actually, it is pretty clear in the bible that Jesus opposed "sabbatholatry" - the elevating of the Sabbath such that people worship the day itself, and not the God of the day, or rather the Lord of the Sabbath.

Now, it is fair to point out that even Catholics who obsess-compulse about this "must be Saturday" thing have options - there is a Mass of obligation on Saturday, too - the vigil Mass.

But we celebrate the Lord's Day because that's what Christians have always done. And that's in the unchangeable bible, too.

Um, Julia - you do realize I'm not talking about Judaism? Contextually, this is largely a Seventh Day Adventist vs. rest of Christianity discussion. We aren't really talking about Jews or Judaism.

Answer 5

The words Saturday & Sunday are NOWHERE in the Bible. Show me any verse, in any Bible, of any translation, where these actual words are written. They are just days on a calender that was not even invented yet. Concern yourself with important stuff, not about what day of the week is what.

Answer 6

You are confused. You think people who were never a party to the old covenant, which includes the sabbath command, are a party to that covenant.

Indeed, we are not to change any word of Scripture. So, what do you say about someone who insists people observe the conditions of a covenant that God did not enjoin on those people?

Answer 7

Actually, all over the Bible it's written as the day of rest for the Jews.

But you guys just choose to ignore that part.

Answer 8

the OT is very clear on keeping of the Sabbath. However, Jesus (or at least those who wrote about him) seemed not to like those old laws for some reason.

here's a good summary

Answer 9

If we're not to change one word, why was it translated from the original Greek?

Answer 10

I guess he will now burn all of his faithful followers in Hell as well as non believers.

You guys are willing to put up with one hell of a God.
