Subject: Is THE SABBATH ON A SATURDAY |
Bible Note: Again, keeping with the "literal" tone and "seeking direct Biblical context": not one of the cited passeges, with the exception of Acts 11:26, mentions the disciples as Christians; and even then, not by Jesus' direct command! I am not suggesting that Jesus is not God! I am saying that Jesus Christ never said to the apostles and the rest of His disciples that they would be called Christians. Not until Revelation 2:17 does Jesus Christ directly states that He shall give us a new name. From the Old Testament on there are anotations that speak on this particular subject but Jesus never stated it Himself until Revelation 2:17. We have to remember that during the Old Testament's revelations (prophecies and interaction of God with Israel) Lord or LORD was reserved almost exclusively to Yahweh (YHWH). God Bless! |
