Subject: Why did God test Adam and Eve ? |
Bible Note: Mark: Yes I follow Gods command to rest from work from sundown Friday until sundown Saturday. I feel it is a great blessing to live in a country that allows one the freedom to worship how and when they feel called. And yes it has caused me to alter my career. I fully agree that every opportunity should be taken to study the Bible and fellowship. If you can do it 7 days a week - then great. But at the same time God clearly instructs us to provide for our family which should revolve around 1st day to 6th day. But of course - if the work schedule permits and it does not take valuable time away from your family - then yes be involved with the Church activities to grow and spread the gospel. Remember - it was the Jews who added law upon law and made the Sabbath a burdensome stone. God never intended it to be that way. It is a blessing ! Not doing work on that day is to be a blessing not a bunch of irretable restrictions that cause us more heachaches. As I have repeated many times - Rom. 14 and Col. 2:16 -- are taken purposely out of context to support doing away with the Sabbath. Rom. 14 -- is all about idol worship and esteemed unclean meat from idol sacrifices and the sabbaths or special days are not referring to the 7th day Sabbath but instead the additional sabbath feasts. Remember the gentiles came into the faith without these Jewish feasts. The Jewish Christians thought the new gentile Christians should keep the Jewish feasts. But remember these feasts are a shaddow of Christs coming to be the perfect sacrifice for sins. Once Christ died on the cross - His death ripped the veil in the sanctuary and thus ending the sacrificial system and all the feats surrounding this system. We no longer sacrifice lambs or keep these feasts - right !!!! Unfortunately, the devil has spread his lies in the mainstream Church to lead people away from following Gods commands. But again this is my belief and I feel I have the scriptures to justify this reasoning. Love in Christ, Swerv |
