Subject: Is THE SABBATH ON A SATURDAY |
Bible Note: You seem to be omitting a very important detail. Jesus specifically gave the authority to Peter in giving the keys of the kingdom to him before His death. He also specifically instructed the disciples to stay put in Jerusalem until they were to receive the power from Heaven. He predicted the Holy Spirit's coming by calling It the Comforter so we have a clear and specific authorization from the Perfector of Salvation to heed the words of the Apostles. They did a mighty fine job of minimizing the number of restrictions and specific commands to be followed. So the least we can do is follow their example and the little bit of guidance in their epistles, or the New Testament. Don't you think it's better to play it safe and heed those commands rather than take a chance of rejecting those words on Judgement Day. Remember Christ told us His words will judge us on that day. God bless. |
