ONCE AGAIN! If we worship God every day, as Catholics do, why is this of any concern to us?
Ho Ho Ho, Merry CHRISTmas, yes it is!LOL… no its not!
The word for Christmas in late Old English is Cristes Maesse, the Mass of Christ

They aren’t going to hear any of it man…it’s so simple and easy to understand, but…we all have a loving Father who gives us a conscience and a choice.Dear Brandon,
It seems that at the time of Christ, the Pharisees and the Sauducees had a symbolic preocupation with the outward observance of the law. Therefore they needed not to be told to keep the Sabbath. But if they broke it, and forgot it, we can be sure Jesus would ahve told them. The New Testament is not a book of laws, but of Grace. “For the law came by Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ” John ch. 1:17.
I often hear former and non-Adventists quote that no where are Chrisitans told to keep the Sabbath. Some even say that all 9 others are reiterated, save the Sabbath. In order to do this you have to throw out the Old Testmaneteek: ), so I will just quote the NT.
I beleive that the New Testament does teach Sabbath keeping. Firstly because Jesus did not take away our rest Day. Jesus taught His disciples to keep the Sabbath, that is why even when He was in the grave, they kept the Sabbath “according to the commandment” waiting until the Sabbath was passed until the anointed him with spices (Luke 23:56). Jesus made man on the sixth, and and rested the Seventh. Jesus redeemed man on the sixth day, saying “it is finished” (John 19:30), and rested the seventh.
When Gentiles wanted to hear the Word preached they asked that it be done “on the Sabbath Day”, and the whole (Gentile) city of Antioch came together on the Sabbath day (Acts 13:42-44). Paul could have just as easily told them to come back on the Lord’s day. This would have set a precedent for the New Testament, but he did not.
In Macedonia, Paul and his companions have a private Sabbath service, without a synagogue for miles, and convert a gentile family (Acts 16:13)
In Hebrews 4 the Sabbath is used as a symbolic representation of our rest in Christ, and forshadows and eschatological rest in the future. The Greek word “sabbatismos” used in Hebrews 4:9 means “keeping of the Sabbath”.
Isaiah 66:22-3 says that in the new heavens and earth we will kepp the sabbath day.
In Revelation 12:17, 14:12 the end time Church is identified as “keeping the commandments of God…” The word used for commandemnts in the greek is “entolas”. It is the same exact word Jesus used to refer to the Ten Commandments in Matthew 19:17-19. It is the same word used calling the Sabbath a “commandment” in Luke 23:26 (with a singular ending).
Finally, your own adopted Church teaches you that all Ten Commandments remain “binding” on Chrisitans. I think it is in the 9th session of the Council of Trent, also the New ADvent article on the “Ten Commandments” In fact, that article itself says that the Church changed the Sabbath “and made the 3rd commandment apply to Sunday rather than the Sabbath”.
When we look into the face of our Creator, how are we gonna explain that one to Him? Wouldn’t we be safer if we just took the commandmetn as it reads? God never leaves us to deduction and speculation to determine His laws.
peace

Once again, everyday is every day…it’s NOT the Sabbath day!
You people are massed out
Um…God’s command for one thing…yeah, I’d have to say, scripture itself does
Well going to Mass is to Worship God… and I’m sorry I thought our God was a Jealous God and we are to put HIM first above ALL things.You people are massed out
Sounds tiring!
Maybe you should take the Sabbath day off and rest awhile
Maybe you should try to put God first by worshiping Him everyday Again, How do you know that your Interpretation is RIGHT and mine is WRONG?Um…God’s command for one thing…yeah, I’d have to say, scripture itself does
You can take just about any verse out and contextually screw it’s meaning up.
And that is sadly what Satan has gotten so many to do.
It’s now twisted beyond belief
The end is Neigh.
And all He asked of you was to keep one day holy and have much rest…well you can do what you wantWell going to Mass is to Worship God… and I’m sorry I thought our God was a Jealous God and we are to put HIM first above ALL things.
So I put God FIRST everyday by Worshiping HIM everyday.
I worship HIM everyday by going to Mass everyday.
As for the rest: I don’t need to share what I personally do every weekend. However I will share seeing there seems to be an assumption that I DO NOT rest!
I personally spend at least 1 hour every day alone with God in prayer, no TV, no Internet, No phone, No emails etc. It’s just God and I for at least 1 hour every day.
Also, I’m a SAHM and Hubby works Monday-Friday. (Seeing I’m a SAHM I do all the house/yard work Monday-Friday).
Our weekends (Saturday-Sunday) are spent at home together, or out together like the park, or we spend the day with extended family. There is NO work for us on the weekends (Saturday-Sunday)
On the weekends (Saturday-Sunday) we are either at Church or at home. If we are out then we are at the park or at an extended family member’s home. We go to our extended family home because we are resting and enjoy seeing them!
He asks that the one-day be the minimum… Do you really think He is mad with me, because I do more then the minimum?And all He asked of you was to keep one day holy and have much rest…well you can do what you want
Well, for one good example, (right back to the Sabbath thing again) I don’t see what I read in the Bible which clearly reads Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy to be an interpretation.
Again that is because that is YOUR interpretation of scripture.
You don’t seem to get it…there is no iterpreting the Sabbath.
As I said, there is no interpreting something that is perfectly clear
You avoided the question:
How do you know when something is prophecy?
