Not really. The question is an honest truthful question based on an honest and truthful observation. Nothing more nothing less.The question was purposely designed to fail.
Exactly. That is the point of this OPThere is no scriptures that claims an abolishment of the Sabbath…
Yes it is. The Sabbath is also one of God's 10 commandments from Exodus 20:8-11 that gives us a knowledge of what sin is when broken and righteousness when obeyed (see 1 John 3:4 and Psalms 119:172) and a sign of who Gods people truly are (see Ezekiel 20:20).Sabbath IS A GOOD THING whether anyone is Jewish, Christian, Muslim… or whatever.
According to the scriptures that Sabbath is the "seventh day" of the week in Gods time to time as we know it is Friday sunset to Saturday sunset. According to the scriptures we are not to do any, business, secular work, shopping, buying and selling. It is a day of rest we are to set aside for God and doing good that Jesus made for all those who believe and obey His Word see Matthew 12:1-12.Sabbath’ means the setting aside of a day in a seven-day week (typically, the twenty four hour period Friday night to Saturday night, for corporate worship).
According to the scriptures Jesus says that the Sabbath was made for mankind not the Jews (see Mark 2:27-28). There was no Israel or Jew when God made the Sabbath for all mankind. There was only Adam and Eve who were created on the 6th day of the creation week (see Genesis 1:26-31 and Genesis 2:1-3). The Sabbath is defined in the spoken and written Word of God as the "Seventh day of the week not any day of the week as stated in the commandment in Exodus 20:10. According to the scriptures in the new testament Gods Israel are no longer all those who are born of the flesh of the seed of Abraham *Romans 9:6-8 but are now all those who have been born again to walk in Gods Spirit through faith in his Word *Galatians 5:16; John 3:3-7 compare 1 John 3:6-9. A Jew is no longer a Jew in the flesh but one in Spirit who has been circumcised in the heart to love God and keep His commandments (see Romans 2:28-29 compare Galatians 3:28-29). According to the scriptures we are to believe and obey what Gods Word says (see Acts 5:29; Acts 5:32). Anything less is sin according to the scriptures.In a single society, such as that of the Israelites and then the Jews, it was mandatory that the whole nation set aside one single specific day for this event. But as the world of single true deity (‘God’: YAHWEH) grew, the many peoples cannot all set aside the one single day. There is a great need for certain groups of people who, though believers, cannot set aside their work on a single specific day. These would set aside another day on which to SABBATH.
The scripture you are referring to here is from John 4:21-24 and saysNotice that Jesus Christ taught that, though there was a time when ‘the all’ would worship (which included ‘Sabbathing‘) on the great mountain as the Samaritans wrongly did, or in Jerusalem as the Jews did, THERE IS COMING A TIME WHEN NEITHER PHYSICAL PLACES ARE THE TRUE PLACE OF WORSHIP.
Where is the true place of worship? Where is the true place to Sabbath? The true place to worship and Sabbath is IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH!!! What does this mean? It means that WHERE EVER YOU SABBATH, WHERE EVER YOU WORSHIP, God has deemed it acceptable by EACH INDIVIDUAL to do so as the situation finds them.
- JOHN 4:21-24 21, Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22, Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23, But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him. 24, God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
There is no dilemma. According to the scriptures, Jesus says it is lawful do do good on the Sabbath to save life (see Matthew 12:1-12)Do not judge Bible Hub your comfy Monday to Friday job, do not judge by your cosy fitting role that allows you to Sabbath on a Saturday… the global world is a round the clock twenty four hour seven day a week conglomerate. We are not all Sunday… Monday to Friday … workers nor societies. Should a nurse stop their weekly work on Friday night - stop nursing? Here’s a dilemma, then!! Seven days a week because it’s good to do nursing on a sabbath day… So, what if that nurse Sabbaths and worships God on a different day because the DAY OF REST given to them is, say, Wednesday?
According to the scriptures Gods Sabbath is not any day of the week. It is God who says that the His Sabbath is the "seventh day" of the week. It is a sign for Gods people that we worship the true God of creation and a memorial of God as our creator of heaven and earth that we all must answer to come judgement day.So, SABBATH is not abolished - no one ever really claims so - What is happening is that THERE IS NO ABSOLUTE that SABBATH needs to be FRIDAY NIGHT TO SATURDAY NIGHT but ‘A day of rest in which we glorify God, do good, and REST from our normal work’ especially if that work was concerned with purely personal and or monetary gain. Every one needs a Sabbath day irrespective of personal ethics…. No one should work seven days a week. Is that Sabbath day to rest, worship God, and do good!!
- EXODUS 20:10 10, BUT THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD YOUR GOD: in it thou shalt not do any work..
- EZEKIEL 20:20 20, And KEEP HOLY MY SABBATHS; AND THEY SHALL BE A SIGN BETWEEN ME AND YOU THAT YOU MAY KNOW I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD.
Take Care.
