Then you're blind.
Short sighted maybe, thats due to old age, blind only for the religious, you know this bit,

Joh 9:39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
Joh 9:40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
Joh 9:41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

God bless

It's not a question of <<Why would it do that>>? It's a matter of the fact that is what you are doing. But don't stop; you supply me with appreciated opportunity to exercise and develop the skill to answer the fool in his foolishness.
The fool ye many of them dont realise it do they.

1Co_3:18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

So ill be teh fool.

We all are lost because we all come totally short of compliance with God's standard for righteous living the Ten Commandments; there's not a snowball's hope in hell any could comply. NEVER!!! I must die and must die each day and even THAT BOTTOM LINE of the Law NO ONE, least of, I, is able to face or reach or pass the standard. IF ONE HUMAN COULD, GOD IS NOT THE OMNIPOTENT, AND HUMANISM IS THE TRUTH.
True.
Then we need Jesus, who took the wrath of God and the penalty for our sin on the cross, and if we repent and forsake our sinful habit patterns, we will have confidence in the judgment.

What is it about his believing about the Sabbath that makes him a humanist? I thought that humanism is all about self-improvement. I don't see that in his post.
I think humanism does indeed reflect self improvement, but a worldview of making oneself your own authority must be internet in self improvement. You do the improving... The power comes from within you... The goals and intents are your own. You are your own god. Now in the matter of choosing between Sunday and the true Sabbath, the scriptures are very clear. From creation to the new heavens and new Earth the Sabbath is writ across the pages of scripture without let or hindrance. Residing in the heart of God's spoken law, nestled within the tables of the covenant, observed by the Savior and His followers, the Sabbath can only be denied by overruling the authority of scripture and making up your own rules as to it's relevance. Many conflicting reasons are offered in the defense of Sunday... Rest in Jesus... Any day for worship... Obedience being legalism... The list goes on, and not one of them supported by a "thus saith the Lord" in it's defense. Hence, humanism.

We will have confidence in the judgement not because <<we repent and forsake our sinful habit patterns>> but because we needed Jesus who took the wrath of God and the penalty for our sin on the cross PERIOD
<<if we>> whatever is self-righteousness--legalism--vanity. 'We...' never nothing.

Good! Truth! Up-building! To praise the Lord and be thankful for!

YET WHY THE GREAT SILENCE?

<<Residing in the heart of God's spoken law, nestled within the tables of the covenant, observed by the Savior and His followers...>>, the RESURRECTION OF CHRIST ON THE SABBATH <<can only be denied by overruling the authority of scripture and making up your own>> reasons causes and fundamentals and meanings of and for the Sabbath. THEN ONE CAN AS WELL MAKE HIS OWN DAY AND TIME for, 'the Sabbath'!

You need to study your Bible. Hebrew days began at sunset. The scriptures were written from that Hebrew worldview. Which is why the Sabbath is measured from sunset to sunset.
GINOLJC, to all
First thanks for the reply, second, you need to obey the word of God. and as for Hebrew, it's not worldwide for everone, only for the hebrews. you might think that Hebrew is the final authority, false assumption, GOD is the final authority. supportive scripture, Isaiah 5:20 "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!".

do you understand that? if not lets make it perfectly clear. "that put darkness for light, and light for darkness", scripture, at the beginning,
Genesis 1:5 "And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day". see your ERROR now.

anything else is a lie. I can care less what the Hebrews, Jews, or any Jew say about the day and night or any Gentile, or any man in or on the moon say about the Day and the Night. I believe what God say about the Day and the Night, and that to me is final...... :p now he gave you and the Hebrews and anyone else a "WARNING", that who put darkness for light, and light for darkness

now if you perfer to follow satan and his teaching, fine that's your choice. so I leave you with Revelation 22:11 also... (smile), see ya.

OK, last call it's education time. DAY and NIGHT. scripture, Genesis 1:5 "And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day". when one read this verse it seem or can be taken as oh! that one whole day, day and night, because it said, "evening and the morning were the first day". that's what one would say is they was fooled by the devil. but lets walk in the LIGHT." as I said before the EVENING and the MORNING are the separation of the days. notice the "s" at the end of days. now think, if one didn't have the NIGHT to separate the Day(s), one would have a continuous "DAY" never ending. the evening and the Morning meaning NIGHT DIVIDE the D A Y S from each other, else without NIGHT you will never have the next day, meaning 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7th. so the NIGHT is not a DAY, it only seperates the DAY(S).

NOW the Hebrew is clear as day on this. if someone tell you differently then they are lying to you.

just remember what the Lord Jesus said, there are 12 hours in a "DAY".

I hope this helped.

Leave what YOU interject out and read Genesis from verse 1, not from verse 5 and what do you read? "God made heaven and earth ---IN DARKNESS and THEN God said let there be light and THEN first the dark night and the light spoken afterwards were the evening for night and morning for daylight and it was evening and it was morning the First Day and so on until AFTER the Sixth Day's daylight, God in the cool of (the Seventh Day) EVENING walked in the garden and called for Adam and Eve and made clothes for their nakedness and in the EAST next morning Sabbath-Daylight DROVE THEM OUT.
The Seventh Day Sabbath of the LORD GOD from the beginning started sunset and lasted until after the following Sabbath Daylight.
But man and women did not LIVE THAT FIRST SABBATH OUT BECAUSE OF THEIR SIN.

And THAT, is history and Bible WORD OF ACT OF GOD.

Let us honour God and worship Him in UNITY and oneness of heart in the Name of the Saviour Lord of the Sabbath from the beginning.

(smile), bless your little heart, no matter. so since your argument on "DAY" has been exposed, now you turn to God and look for an escape, oh well as one run from a lion, they run into a bear.
God don't need Natural light to see or work in, as said, the Light is for us to ... "SEE" what he has did. understand God is a Spirit, invisible, NOW HOLD THAT THOUGHT, Hebrews 11:3 "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear". and how do we "SEE" thing which appear? ..... by "LIGHT, let there be Light. NOW ONE MORE FOR YOU, Romans 1:20 "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse". BINGO, you have no excuse.

Makes me think of 'pianists' I have had to listen to in my life, and that makes me think which is more horrible, the pianist, the violinist, the singer, or the guitarist. And the answer comes without hesitation, the theologian.

There's no denying that working six days and resting on the seventh is one of the Ten Commandments, equal footing to not committing adultery, not stealing, lying, murdering, coveting, blaspheming, and honouring our parents.

I thought about this, and am sure that it doesn't mean exactly on a Saturday. It means that we work six days a week and rest on the seventh. Now, our labels for the days of the week come from observance to pagan gods. Monday stands for worship of the moon, I don't know what Tuesday is, Wednesday is observance of the god Woden, Thursday is for Thor, I don't know what Friday is, Saturday is worship of the god Saturn, Sunday is worship of the sun.

The Jews didn't have those labels. They had the first day of the week through to the seventh day. They worked six days and rested on the seventh. The principle behind the Commandment is that we have one day for rest after six days working. Jesus said that the Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. There is nowhere in the Commandment that specifically says "Saturday", because God would not use a pagan label anyway. So we have to look a little deeper and see why God included that Commandment.

It was because in the pagan world, including Egypt, people worked seven days a week, especially slaves, and they were often worked to death because of burnout. Having people work six days and resting on the seventh, gives a healthy work life balance and helps people "recharge their batteries". That is why the Commandment is there.

If we are going to legalistically require people to make Saturday their day of rest and no other, otherwise they will go to hell, then we are making man for the Sabbath, contrary to what Jesus said. It would mean that every shift worker who is required to work Saturday and Sunday and take another day of the week as their day of rest, will go to hell

It reminds me of the requirement of one religious organisation that their members not eat meat on Fridays otherwise they will go to hell. When the doctrine was abolished in the late 1960s, a newspaper cartoonist drew a picture of a demon asking the devil about what to do with all those who ate meat on Fridays!

It is the same with those who legalistic say that the Sabbath for the Christ has to be Sunday or else!

If you don't turn from your sinful lifestyle to demonstrate that you are trusting the grace and mercy of God through your faith in Christ, then you are showing that you are a hypocrite - professing that you have been transformed by the Spirit of God in a genuine conversion, when no such transformation has taken place. Paul asked, "Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid! How can we continue in sin when we are dead to it?"

You think so because you have been thinking in the human groove. The Seventh Day is Sabbath: OF: THE LORD your GOD" -- NOT YOUR Sabbath or 'MY' Sabbath or 'OUR' Sabbath as so often today! Whatever bad or good you may do on the Sabbath is of no more consequence than whatever bad or good you may think or believe on the Sabbath. THAT'S IT! No one even sees the written word "OF .. the Lord"-- "of the LORD" yes, "the LORD'S DAY"! for heaven's sake. Will no one ever stop thinking, believing, acting in the first person -- I this, I that, I---- what the devil 'I' 'I' 'I'!

So, if Saturday is labelled as the observance of the pagan god Saturn, so you are setting aside Saturday as an unalterable requirement, to worship that god as well? :)
