Keep in mind, G-d said "anyone who dares change these commandments shall be cut off from me forever"
And Christians followed the Roman church when they "changed the Sabbath" to Sunday.
But here is the question.
Jesus declared, "Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. Yet a time is coming when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
Why is your church doing the worship G-d wants?
Please be Bible specific, and explain why the verses you chose supports your exact style of worship.
IE: not "we are spiritual" and G-d loves us.

Thanks, Snarky, for your post. Christians should take a lesson and show a little more respect for HaShem Adonai (the Name of the Lord). How many times do you hear Christians saying "oh, my..." or "I swear to..."? If CHRISTIANS cannot respect the Name of God, how can they teach others to do so, or keep asking that the Ten Commandments be posted while blatantly ignoring the one about misusing HaShem Adonai?
But then again, the one about the Sabbath is ALSO blatantly ignored...

Hi David. OK I know you think that Paul has been mistranslated.
But like it or not, most Christians on the planet accept the NT as part of the inerrant Word of God. We firmly believe that we have been freed of the old school master (the Law and the Prophets and this includes both the Mosaic ceremonial law and the Ten commandments) and are now under the "Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus" Romans 8:2. Romans 7:4 helps to clarify.
Furthermore in the NT epistles nine of the ten commandments are reinstated while, you guessed it, number four is expressly
omitted. Christians are commanded to "Be Holy" 24/7/365 and not just to keep one day holy. Furthermore you and I have
the same Bible, the same Jesus, and basically the same faith.
As you very well know, no two people are alike and they are not going to see eye to eye every single time.
The bottom line is, Do We Love Jesus? If we do then fine.
If not then, well, there are no guarantees as far as Heaven
is concerned.

The poster used G-d out of respect.
God's name is treated with unusual care in Jewish tradition. The divine name, YHWH (spelled with the Hebrew letters yud, hey, vav, hey) is never pronounced. Traditionally, Jews read the word "Adonai" (often translated as "the Lord") whenever reading God's holiest name in Torah or in prayer. However, "Adonai" is not God's name.
Among some traditional Jews, speaking even the word "Adonai" is avoided outside of worship or study. This "stand-in" for God's name is itself replaced by "Ha-Shem" ("The Name"). The practice also has been extended to other Hebrew words associated with God. For example, the Hebrew word "Elohim," which means "God" (the title, not God's name), is pronounced "Elokim" outside of prayer and study.
In recent years, some Jews have carried the practice even further by abstaining from writing the English word "God" and substituting the spelling, "G-d" or "Gd." However, there is no prohibition in Jewish law from writing "God" in any language other than Hebrew.

The Roman Catholic Church is the only church that Jesus ever founded.
It is also the only church that he ever authorized, empowered, and eternally guaranteed.
As a result, the church alone wields the authentic power of God on the earth.
If Jesus wanted to raise himself up from the dead on Saturday, he could have done so.
Instead, he raised himself up on Sunday, and the church has rightly celebrated Sunday as it's primary feast day, ever since.
We do it by "remembering Jesus", eating his flesh and drinking his blood, just as he commanded.
How about you?

Because of what the Messiah Said in Matthew chapter 16.
