    Is it important to keep the Sabbath?

    A day that is holy is a day that is set apart and in order for a day to be set apart there needs to be a day that it is set apart from. If we did on every day what God wants us to do on the Sabbath, then we would do no work, but God also wants us to work on the other six days. Resting on the...

    Is it important to keep the Sabbath?

    Keeping the Sabbath holy testifies that there is a Creator who created the world in six days, who rested on the 7th, who sanctified it, and who sanctifies us. The purpose of all of God's laws is to teach us how to know, love, believe in, and testify about Him through acting in accordance with...

    The New Testament authors favor the prophets. Why?

    A prophet is not necessarily someone who predicts the future, but someone who speaks the word of God, so it is an appropriate to quote more from the prophets.

    Is it important to keep the Sabbath?

    Keeping the Sabbath holy is in memorial of when God rested after Creation, and in the account it says that there was evening and then there was morning, so days start in the evening. The Israelites received a double portion of manna of the 7th day, so they knew on which period of time God...

    Is it important to keep the Sabbath?

    I agree that doesn’t make it the 7th day of the week, but you are ignoring the perfectly logical reason that I gave for how we can know what the 7th day is in order to attack your incorrect assumption. The 7th day begins on Friday at sundown, so your assumption doesn’t even work. Moreover...

    Is it important to keep the Sabbath?

    Again, the Israelites received a double portion of manna for the 7th day for 40 years in the wilderness, and they have been keeping it ever since, so they know which people of time God rested, and we should rest during the same period of time. The various calendar systems organize the months...

    Is it important to keep the Sabbath?

    I agree, calendars are just systems for organizing days and period of time one one calendar has the same period of time on a different calendar, though some calendars make it easier to keep track of important dates than others.

    Is it important to keep the Sabbath?

    That period of time is between Friday and Saturday at sundown. No, we can use the Hebrew calendars, but every 7th day is every 7th day regardless of which calendar is being used. The fact that we commonly use the Gregorian calendar and that it uses 7-day cycles makes it easy to track when we...

    Is it important to keep the Sabbath?

    We can look at the period of time that the Israelites have been keeping as the 7th day and seen what period of time it corresponds to on the Gregorian calendar.

    Because that is the period of time that the Israelites have been keeping as the 7th day.

    Is it important to keep the Sabbath?

    Jesus set a sinless example of how to walk in obedience to the Mosaic Law, and in Matthew 11:28-30, he was inviting people to come to him for rest and to learn from him, not inviting people to come to him for rest instead of learning from his example. Moreover, by Jesus saying that we would...

    The Israelites and the Law

    All interpretation of Scripture is done privately. In Matthew 5:17-19, Jesus said that he came to fulfill the law in contrast with saying that he came not to abolish it, and he warned against relaxing the least part of it or teaching other to relax the least part of it, so you should not...

    The Israelites and the Law

    Jesus did not come to start his own religion following a different God, but rather he came as the Jewish Messiah of Judaism in fulfillment of Jewish prophecy and he spent his ministry teaching how to practice Judaism by setting a sinless example of how to walk in obedience to the Torah. In Acts...
