It's not me saying it. All I am doing is reflecting what the Bible is saying. So if you think that what I am saying is irrelevant, then you are saying the Bible is irrelevant to what you believe.

What version of the Bible are you reading?

Man, the rubbish bracketed in red IS NOT SCRIPTURE no matter from which <version>. Do you think I'm stupid? I tell you, show me that stuff in any Bible!

Mjrhealth: <<What pretence?>> Mjrhealth never pretends!

Mjrhealth: <<I dont have to pretend about anything>> Mjrhealth never pretends about anything!
He never has anything to pretend!

Mjrhealth: <<like those who propose they keep teh law and sabbath>> Mjrhealth <<God, I thank thee that I am not as other men are .. I give all that I possess...>>!

Mjrhealth: <<God is not ignorant or blind to mens charades.>>

Something like

Mat 15:16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
Mat 15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
Mat 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
Mat 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

your bitterness and anger declares teh intentions of your heart

Jesus said that if a person is hateful, they are a murderer in their heart. So if a person is regularly hateful in his conduct when he gets his nose out o joint, is that genuine repentance?
So what does Jesus say about him?

Sorry I don't believe there is one in the Bible but what do people usually do on Sunday? Lol
The Commandment to keep the Sabbath holy is one of the Ten Commandments found in Exodus 20 where we are instructed to rest one day a week. Notice it says the seventh day is the Sabbath. The seventh day is Saturday. Notice why it says we are to rest. It is a reminder that God is the Creator. If people had remembered that God is the Creator we would not have the lie that crowds God out, the theory of evolution.

Sunday is the first day of the week. People go to Church on Sunday and ignore Saturday because they mistakenly think they are keeping the Commandment. They say they honour Sunday because Jesus rose from the dead on the 1st day of the week but the scripture gives no instruction for that.

Exodus 20:8-11
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Am I right in thinking that you are a Seventh Day Adventist?

Isreal who?
Israel Jennifer, are the descendants of a man called Jacob whose name was changed to Israel. These descendants are also known as the Children of Israel. This all happened in a place we today call Palestine in the Middle East.

After some years these people went to Egypt and where tricked into becoming slaves of the Egyptians for 400 years until Moses came along and by the hand of God brought them out of Egypt. It was also through Moses that God gave the Ten Commandments to the people.
You might like to read their story in the book of Exodus, the second book in the Bible.

I, by the grace and providence of God, am, 'Sabbath's Feast of Christ Home Assemblies Reformed Protestant Faith'. God's alone all glory
Nice and that is the religion you are joined to, just as the SDA are joined to the SDA religion and the catholics the catholic religion, where as Christians are joined to Christ, what is it you do not understand

if you put a man into a man into a protestant church he isnt going to come out a catholic, if you put him into the JW church HE isnt going to come out a SDA, just liek you have joined yourself to teh Reformed Protestant faith, and are required to obey its laws its rules and its doctrines, is it so hard to understand

1Co 6:15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
1Co 6:16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
1Co 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

A Christian can only be joined to Christ or they are playing teh harlot and an aldulterer

Paul, I don't wear a denominational tag but I am persuaded that the primary SDA exegesis of the the scriptures is correct. That said, I do not necessarily agree with everything that goes on or what people say in that institution. I take every person on their own merit.

Okay. I understand where you are coming from now.
So, you have read the writing of Ellen White?

the Holy Spirit said through the gospel writers that Jesus was dead for three days and three nights.

Not exactly. None of <<the gospel writers (says literally) that Jesus was dead for three days and three nights>>. Nor does the Holy Spirit say or mean it literally <<that Jesus was dead for three days and three nights>>, but that He was "in the heart of the earth three days and three nights" figurative language for spiritually and physically having SUFFERED DEATH AND THE DYING OF DEATH. For Christ ALIVE, DESIRING AND OBEDIENT, suffered and died the death of death the last enemy He destroyed in His "THREE days and THREE nights'"-VICTORY after He "on the third day according to the Scriptures ROSE".

please post scripture stating back to back sabbaths

PICJAG
Hope you don't mind if I jump in here to answer your request.

John 19:31
The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

The Gospel of John says of the day beginning following Christ's death, "that sabbath day was a high day" (19:31–42). That night was Nisan 15, just after the first day of Passover week (Unleavened Bread) and an annual miqra and rest day, in most chronologies.

Is the Holy Spirit correct when He said three whole nights, or is He wrong when in fact He spent only 2 whole nights in the heart of the earth?

Some of her writings. What I have read is inspiring and insightful. If you haven't read her I could recommend the Conflict of the Ages series. Easy to find online. You will be surprised at how beautifully she presents Jesus in the book 'Desire of Ages'

Here's a copy of Desire of Ages

Is the Holy Spirit correct when He said three whole nights, or is He wrong when in fact He spent only 2 whole nights in the heart of the earth?

Mat 12:40 Just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so our Lord predicted that He would be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. This raises a problem. If, as generally believed, Jesus was buried on Friday afternoon and rose again on Sunday morning, how can it be said that He was three days and nights in the tomb? The answer is that,

“A day and a night make an onah, and a part of an onah is as the whole” (Jewish saying). (Believers Bible)
