Hello W & D,
This is a good subject and it has always made me wonder why the huge majority of believers do not read or even know the big 10. It seems only SDA's, United Church of God and one or two more observe the Sabbath to keep it Holy. Where is one to go if they do not want to join up with different faiths because of doctrinal differences? Can one just observe the Sabbath in their own homes on Saturday and on Sunday, gather with other Christians for corporate worship, communion and fellowship?
This one has bothered me for sometime now and none of the reasons for this subtle change seem to hold water...IMHO.
Good post :gd

We observe the sabbath by entering into His rest.

Heb 4:3
For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.


There is no need to keep a special day.

Col 2:18
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

Jesus never told me to take a sabbath day off in my 40 years of walking with Him. Jesus has told me what Churches to go to but never told me to take one a day off ministry. I walk with Christ every day and I remind all that Jesus healed on the Sabbath days and Jesus said He is our example to follow. John 13:15

Hi Nancy, again, as far as we know, it is always better to obey what GOD has said from the beginning: Search results for query: Sabbaths And Holy Convocations

I worked for the Billy Graham association, on staff, and Billy Graham preached on Saturdays during the crusades.
Which crusades are you speaking of brother, I only remember the one that started in like, the year 1004 and Billy was not living yet, hmm.

My mom left the RCC through listening to him and became born again!

Also, what other churches will change from Sunday to Saturday other than the ones I mentioned in my post above?? If there was one that did, and taught my beliefs I would surely want to go there!

It was in the 1990"s. I went to so many churches in cities in the USA, I never found one Saturday only Church. Even so, the sabbath was a rest day. You cannot do any work on the sabbath, therefore going to church on Saturday is work if you drive a car. Yes, I know Jesus went Synagogues on Saturday, but He walked, and the rule was you could not walk more than a Sabbath's day's journey which was a 1/2 mile.

Disclosing use of altered or synthetic content​

We encourage creators’ innovative and responsible use of content editing or generation tools. At the same time, we recognize that viewers want to know if what they’re watching or listening to is real.
To help keep viewers informed about the content they're viewing, we require creators to disclose content that is meaningfully altered or synthetically generated when it seems realistic.
Creators must disclose content that:
  • Makes a real person appear to say or do something they didn’t do
  • Alters footage of a real event or place
  • Generates a realistic-looking scene that didn’t actually occur

They are using Billy Graham's voice and picture to teach what he didn't teach. Of course, if he did, they'd just use that! Right? So what are they trying to pull? To get credibility that they feel the lack?

Much love!

Hebrew 4-
1Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. 2For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not share the faith of those who obeyed. 3Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said,

“So I declared on oath in my anger,
‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ”
And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world. 4For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “On the seventh day God rested from all his works.” 5And again in the passage above he says, “They shall never enter my rest.”

6Therefore since it still remains for some to enter that rest, and since those who formerly had the good news proclaimed to them did not go in because of their disobedience, 7God again set a certain day, calling it “Today.” This he did when a long time later he spoke through David, as in the passage already quoted:

Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.”
8For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. 11Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.

12For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 13Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.


Col 2:16 Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day.

Gal 4:9-10 But now that you know God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you are turning back to those weak and worthless principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again? / You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!


Romans 14:5-6
One person regards a certain day above the others, while someone else considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. / He who observes a special day does so to the Lord; he who eats does so to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to the Lord.

Matt 11:28-30
Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

You are free to keep the sabbath if you choose to. It is not mandatory, as Jesus came and is Lord of the sabbath. He is the reality of the shadow of things to come. Enter His rest, and you will rest from your works- everyday. Everyday is the sabbath when you do rest from your works in Christ.
