Now that God's people are everywhere in Christ, adn though we are now His holy nation on earth, there need be no such confusion about days and times and weeks, because they n o longer matter, since every day and time is good for worship of Him in Spirit and in truth
Yes, definitely we can worship God any day and everyday, in fact He loves that
BUT God explicitly declared also one day to which we are to assemble together one day a week on the Seventh Day Sabbath.
The Pharisees and the Sadducees wanting to temp Jesus asked Him to show them a sign.
He replied:
2) When it is evening, ye say, it will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
3) and in the morning, it will be foul weather, for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can you not discern the signs of the times?
4) A wicked and adulteress generation seeketh after a sign: and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the prophet Jonas."
So right you are that there be no such confusion about
days and
times and
weeks for God chose the Seventh Day to not do any kinds of work [which has never been abrogated].
However, in Matthew 28:1 God changed the seventh day from "
no work of any kinds" to
intense work on the first day of the week.
Already we see this example when Jesus healed the man with the withered hand on the first day of the week [Mark 3:1-5].
The true Christians gather together on the first day of the week as per Acts 20:7
Another example is found in John 5:5-16. I suggest you folks read the whole event for it is only a few verses long.
Today the true Christians assemble together in a church on the
first day of the week to
listen to the Gospel,
break bread,
give our tithes, go to hospitals to preach the Gospel etc... for the support of the church and to send out missionaries to the world to preach the Gospel. All these are our duty to do for our Lord Jesus Christ who gave us eternal life! Yes, indeed God changed th seventh day not to do any kings of work to the first day of the week to do
intense work not as the seventh day that prohibited to do any kinds of work.The context of the seventh day of no work of any kinds to be done has never been abrogated.
ONLY THE DAY HAS CHANGED FROM THE SEVENTH DAY TO THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK. FROM NO WORK TO INTENSE WORK!
In fact, we saw this change when Peter stood up and preached at Pentecost and 3,000 souls were saved. Did not Jesus said that we will do greater work than He? Did not Pentecost occurred on the first day of the week?
Folks if your desire is to teach specially in a forum setting make sure you have studied the subject matter you want to present by exhausting the Scripture that pertains to the subject matter only. Maybe then, and only then with prayer and guidance from the Holy Spirit you might get to the truth.
There is one other matter I would like to point out that is, why did the man who picked up sticks in Numbers 15 was ordered by God to be stoned to death? Why was the punishment so severe? No one responded and the few who did their responds were in error. This can only be seen spiritually [1 Corinthians 2:11-16].
Is anyone here spiritual?
To God Be The Glory
