1 | work on Sundays | Deut 5:14 | wordoer | 104859 | ||
Hello bobnstar, I would not say that it is in violation of God's law to work on Sunday, because it is hard to determine which day is the Sabbath. He doesn't say don't work on Sunday. I believe a good rule for today is to work six days and rest on the seventh, that is mentioned often. We should do the best we can, if your seventh day doesn't line up with everyone elses, I wouldn't debate it, allow the Lord to direct your steps. I do believe you should take one day in seven to rest. That seems to be sufficient for God, or he would not have said it. I believe we will know which day is the Sabbath as we grow closer to our Lord, He will reveal it, and we will with one mind keep that prescribed day, of one accord. I think it is interesting the way God determines as a day, look at Gen 1:5, God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. , It seems to start at noon ( beginning of evening) and ends at noon (at the end of the morning). I hope this helps you, wordoer |

Will the Real Sabbath Please Stand Up? "...the burden of proof is on the other side to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the weekly cycle has been altered since the time of Yeshua the Messiah. If they cannot prove this, then no amount of clever reasoning either from secular or Scriptural sources matters, for it is all irrelevant to the issue." ____________________ The "Lunar Sabbath" or Saturday Sabbath: Will the Real Sabbath Please Stand Up? by N’tan (Nathan) Lawrence 'And while most Sabbatarians never even think to question the seeming inviolate nature of the weekly cycle, but unquestioningly assume that it has never changed, there is, nonetheless, a very small, fringe group of Sabbatarians who believe that the weekly cycle has indeed changed. These individuals are vocal beyond their size and some can be extremely aggressive, divisive and downright mean-spirited in their zeal to convert the world to their opinion. Some of these individuals are very biblically learned and have swept some who are subpar to them in learning and scholarship into the belief that the weekly cycle has been changed and that the seventh day today is not the seventh day of creation, or of the early Hebrews, nor yet even of Yeshua or the Apostolic Fathers. These individuals claim, with little or no supporting evidence, that the weekly cycle was changed after the first century and before the middle of the fourth century A.D. 'There is a group of secular scholars who are part historian and part astronomer whose profession it is to study matters such as chronology, calendars and the weekly cycle. These scholars are employed by governments to keep time and to insure that records are correct. If our timing is off, then how can we fire a missile and hit a target? Or fire a rocket and hit the moon? These individuals are called chronologists and they have definite opinions about the weekly cycle. The “lunar Sabbath” proponents do not quote these scientists, and for good reason. But we will, for we are not afraid of the truth, and the truth needs no defense. (...) 'Upon reading the written explanations and apologies of the “lunar Sabbath” advocates one could be easily swayed to their position by their admittedly in-depth biblical understanding and often-times scholarly approach, and sometime cleaver polemic. But upon careful analysis, the holes in their line of reasoning become readily apparent. It is not the scope of this work to address all the issues they throw up. Those of us who keep the Shabbat on Saturday don’t have to, for the burden of proof is on the other side to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the weekly cycle has been altered since the time of Yeshua the Messiah. If they cannot prove this, then no amount of clever reasoning either from secular or Scriptural sources matters, for it is all irrelevant to the issue. 'How can I aver this so forcefully? It is rather quite simple logic. No one doubts that Yeshua kept the Shabbat on the correct day. Had he not, he would have violated the Torah making him a sinner (1 Jn. 3:4) and not the perfect sacrificial lamb slain for the redemption of sinful man. If he kept a “lunar Shabbat”, as the “lunar Sabbath” advocates maintain, then the burden of proof is upon them to prove that the weekly cycle was changed after the time of Yeshua. If it can be proved that the weekly cycle indeed did not change from the time of Yeshua until now, then the lunar Sabbath advocates have lost the argument and everything else they say or write, no matter how persuasive or scholarly it may be, is moot and irrelevant.' ____________________ To read the entire article, go to: (http://www.tnnonline.net/theonews/ten-commandments/lunar-sabbath/) |
