Mark 2:27....Yahweh Almighty God commanded Israel to observe HIS, Sabbath Day-- not theirs.
Then he said to them: “The Sabbath came into existence for the sake of man, and not man for the sake of the Sabbath."
It was for their benefit, not God's.
Are we shifting the goals posts now....?Sure, who disputed?
If there is no command to do it, that is going “beyond what is written”. (1 Corinthians 4:6)Now note YOUR, OWN, SUNDAY-worshipping 'argument'! It maintains that no Commandment in the New Testament commands the People of God to keep the Sabbath. OK. Then why in the beginning would a Command or Commandment from God have been necessary for the People of God to keep the Sabbath? Would not God's creation-gift of the Seventh Day be incentive enough, especially SINCE GOD USED IT UNTO MAN'S GOOD and salvation through Jesus Christ ultimately?
There is no command to observe the Sabbath because, like circumcision, it was only for the Jews.
Sunday is not the Jewish Sabbath anyway. Roman Catholicism made Sunday the “Christian Sabbath” so that the pagans would feel right at home continuing to honour their sun god on that day. When you dress paganism up to look like Christianity, God is not fooled.....even though humans might be.
We are not at liberty to make up our own celebrations......like Israel’s worship of the golden calf was called a “festival to Jehovah” and yet it was just the opposite. God had the offenders put to death. Thereafter no celebration was permitted without God’s authorisation and without him outlining every detail. He outlined no Sabbath observance for Gentiles. Jews could still observe it if they wished, but it was not a command under the new covenant.
I notice that all of Christendom’s churches like to add things that are not in the Bible.....they add to God’s word by adopting pagan customs and celebrations as if Christians were somehow benefitted by their observance.....Christmas for example...and Easter.....neither are Christian celebrations but originally held in honour of other gods.....Christendom clings to them as if Christ commanded them.
The way the world celebrates these things is offensive to God and his Christ....like Halloween, the dark side is manifest even if the participants do not engage in the demonic parts.....it’s still a satanic event, very important to satan worshippers. We are not to touch those unclean things. (2 Corinthians 6:14-18)
