NEEDED REST DAY OF THE WEEK? WHY?

NEEDED REST DAY OF THE WEEK

Because most churches keep Sunday as the Lord's day, many people believe that Sunday is the day that God has sanctified. Is it always the majority is right?

In Genesis , God's Word says:
" Were they finished the heavens and the earth and all the host of them. God had finished the seventh day the work he did, and rested the seventh day God of all the work he did. And blessed the seventh day God and holy , because on it he rested from all his work he had done in creation . " Genesis 2:1-3

Of all the 7 days, the last of them was completely different, because God blessed and hallowed it. To sanctify means set aside for a purpose holy , God set aside the seventh day of the week and declared it holy . Also read the verses mentioned three times that God did not work on this day, which shows that it was a day of rest for God.

It is true that today many people believe that the week ends on Sunday, and that the first day is Monday, right?. Dicionario According to Lexus, says: "Saturday, the seventh and last day of the week.". That many ignore it, no wonder in this world who live with lies organized.

The seventh day of the week according to the cycle established by God has always been and will be on Saturday. Although at different times, man has changed the calendar, the cycle of seven days weekly has remained intact throughout history. The days of the week have always retained the right order, with Sunday as first day and Saturday as the seventh.
The Sabbath was one of the first gifts given by God to man for the happiness of it, to be a day that immortalize the image of a God creator of all that exists.
God intended that the Sabbath was a blessing to all who observe it the way he wanted them to. God gave it Po brief yet very user-reaching to give us the right perspective on the purpose of the Sabbath.
And God recorded in His holy law, this provision:
"Acuérdarte holy the Sabbath day. Six days you shall labor and do all your work. But Saturday is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. Do not do any work on it, nor you, nor your son or your daughter, your manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. For in six days the Lord made ​​heaven, earth and sea, and all they contain, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and declared it holy . " Exodus 20:8-11. V_Nueva King James.
If the other commandments are not out ... because this has to happen?

At the time of Christ also had many people who thought the new Messiah would bring new laws, and perhaps abolish some. In the Mount of Beatitudes, against the sea of Galilee Jesus refuted these false assumptions and expectations.
"Think not that I have come to abolish the law and come to fulfill profetas.He ... "( Matthew 5:17)

Some distort the meaning of meeting, saying that Jesus meant that the meet for which we may eximes to their obligations. However saying this, signicaría say what the Savior did not say.
In the next verse he says:
"Because until you pass the heaven and earth pass, one jot or tittle will pass from the law , till all be fulfilled. ( Matthew 5:18)

To avoid any misunderstanding, Christ warned those who would seek to abolish the law of God with the following statement:
"Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." ( Matthew 5:19 )

The life of Christ is a prime example of respect and complete obedience to the Father and was in his holy Law:
"He came to Nazareth, where he had grown, and on the sabbath day he entered the synagogue, as was his custom and stood up to read." Luke 4:16

Then, because many of those who today call themselves Christians do not keep the same day I see the ultimate example of Christianity is the answer .....? ..... You have it.
The death of Christ not abolish the sabbath cristiano.Cuarenta years later would still be importante.Lea the Master's words when he referred to the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70:
"Pray that your flight be not in winter or on the Sabbath . " Matthew 24:20.
Now you suddenly see something you wonder .. then why keep the Sabbath commandment is not repeated in the New Testament?
It obvio.La people who taught or preached Christ and all who lived in that generation had no doubts at all about the sanctity of the Sabbath, and never imagined that there is any need to repeat it. The theological discussion in the days of Christ, to call it somehow was not to save or not save the sábado.Las confrontations with the Pharisees and there are obvious appointments made by those who reject this day as an argument, reveal Jesus did not agree with how stored on Saturday, but not with the same spiritual background.
Others take the statements of the Apostle Paul, when speaking of Saturdays that need no longer be saved, but forget them in the past existed ceremonial Sabbaths also very different weekly on Saturdays. Those Saturdays were only a shadow of things to come, expired with the death of Jesus, not because they were bad, but because they had served their purpose for which they were established.
In such a way that the examples of the Master and his disciples confirm that they believed and obeyed the Ten mandamientos.Cito some references to his personal research: (Acts 13:14,42,44, 16:13, 17:2, 18 : 4.21, 20:6,16, 27:9)

How did Sunday has become a day of rest?
The change from Saturday to Sunday was made long after finished writing the new references are Testamento.No Sunday as day of Christian worship until the year 150 AD approx.
The observance of Sunday as a new day of rest was established later in the reign of Emperor Constantine, who by imperial edict issued on Sunday, which kept the Romans traditionally the day of worship of the sun, also be preserved by the Christians of the empire . In many languages ​​the word still retains its original spirit Sunday, eg: Sunday (English) = sun (sun) + day (day) = Day of the Sun.

A Roman ecclesiastical authority says: "You can read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and you will not find a single sentence authorizing the sanctification of Sunday Scripture ... set the Sabbath, which we have never done. The Catholic Church correctly teaches the Master and his disciples taught about certain duties religious who were not recorded by the inspired authors. Therefore we conclude that the Scriptures by themselves can not be a good guide and a rule of faith. " Faith of Our Fathers p. 89

Do you realize? Because you can not, nor will it find any support for state escritutario this teaching, we resort to blatant blasphemy to say that the Word of God is not enough and that his word if .. what boldness ! Are supported in this way permits men to justify the error and falsehood.
Jesus rightly said in his time:
"But in vain they worship Me teaching for doctrines the commandments of men"
And one day this same pseudo-religious who dared to start this commandment of God's holy law and instead put an apocryphal: such as: "Keeping Holy" ..... try to impose this commandment to all mankind ...
What is hard to believe? I understand, now that so much talk about the inalienable rights of the human person, freedom of expression and conscience, it is obvious that it is hard for our imagination. But one day I will, you will see a pseudo Christians persecuting the faithful because they think like them and do not want to join them, and all under the beautiful motto: Unity of all Christians in the world, or in other words Ecumenism, I am ... against Christian unity? Of course not. But never on the basis of falsehood and error

But .. that means Saturday in the Christian life?
Well .. remember that the first Saturday that I keep on earth, was a special meeting between the Creator and his creatures (Adam and Eve). Saturday is par excellence a special day of fellowship with Dios.No a day of boredom or charges as they had become traditional sects in the time of Christ.

Would you like to do the will of God? .. Read this beautiful promise:
"If thou turn away thy foot from doing thy pleasure on my holy day, and shalt honor him not doing thine own ways ... then you shall delight yourself in the Lord, and I will make you ride upon the high places of the earth and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken. " Isaiah 58:13,14.
Not only stops working to keep the Sabbath, but the delight of spiritual encounter with God does forget secular activities. It is no secret that modern man lives overwhelmed and stressed with excessive labor, which gradually undermined his health. Oh how different it would be if men respect this sacred commandment ..!, At least one day a weeks rested his mind and his body so heavy tráfago.La contemplation of the Creator and his works would make our world more human, spiritual and peaceful.

Conclusion
So last mientran heaven and earth, on Saturday will remain a sign of the power of the Creator. When the new Eden bloom again on earth, the holy sabbath of God will be honored by all who dwell under the sun. "From Sabbath to the people of the earth renewed and glorified, will rise to worship before me. "said Lord (Isaiah 66:23)

Jesus Christ is our Lord. He claimed to be Lord of the Sabbath ( Mark 2:28 ) ... do not you think we should follow his example keeping the Sabbath and all commandments? .... Christ said, "If ye love me keep my commandments." Let us love and obey the One who saved us and for his unspeakable grace.

If you have not entiendes.Ora to God that you understand the sanctity of the Bible Sabbath, and so have the privilege of feeling the joy of obedience.\
