Yesterday was Saturday. I got up early in the morning, got dressed, fed my cats, changed the litter. Warmed up the car, travelled an hour to visit my dad at rehab. On the way I stopped at the truckstop and picked him up a cheese omelet, 2 slices of banana bread, orange juice, and a milk. Because the food at rehab I wouldn't feed to my cats, just saying.
I visited from 8:30 am to 1:30 pm. While I was there the nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists, technicians, kitchen workers, were all helping and aiding people living in the facility. Then I drove an hour home and picked up a sandwich on the way because I haven't had time to go shopping and everything in my fridge is spoiled. I will have to work today as well taking out the trash, washing dishes, doing laundry, and do some cooking so I can bring dad food that he will eat tomorrow.
The weather will be bad today and even though I want to go, I know I need to stay home for at least one day to catch up on everything that has been neglected. And the trash stinks, and the fridge stinks, and the sink stinks, and the laundry stinks, everything stinks.
And when dad is ready to come home I don't want him to come home to a stinky house.
Which day am I committing sin? Did those working at the rehab commit sin? Was the people working at the truckstop cooking the omelet I fed my dad sinning, or the store I went to get me a sandwich because I have no edible food in my kitchen?
What is lawlessness?
Mat 25:34
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Mat 25:35
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
Mat 25:36
Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
Mat 25:37
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed
thee? or thirsty, and gave
thee drink?
Mat 25:38
When saw we thee a stranger, and took
thee in? or naked, and clothed
thee?
Mat 25:39
Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
Mat 25:40
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done
it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done
it unto me.
Mat 25:41
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
Mat 25:42
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
Mat 25:43
I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Mat 25:44
Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
Mat 25:45
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did
it not to one of the least of these, ye did
it not to me.
Mat 25:46
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
What exactly does it mean to "KEEP" the Sabbath?
And which of the above "KEPT" it?
Which were the faithful and which were lawless?
The Sabbath IS the first and second commandment that Jesus says sums up the whole.
Mat 22:36
Master, which
is the great commandment in the law?
Mat 22:37
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Mat 22:38
This is the first and great commandment.
Mat 22:39
And the second
is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Mat 22:40
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
The reason why Israel couldn't enter in is because they was selfish and wanted to keep it to themselves.
But God gave it to the world which is our reasonable service to serve him and others.
You keep it your way, I'll keep it the way the Lord gives me to keep it, regardless what day of the week it falls on.
lawlessness...
Show me where I broke the law.
