Religious Cults & False Prophets~ Discussions and DebatesWhich Sabbath :: Re: thought on the meaning of the SabbathRe: thought on the meaning of the Sabbath If the Holy Spirit is leading. It will not teach contrary to God's Law, but it will establish it Rom 3:31 For us to say that we can celebrate any day as the Sabbath is not spirit led. God chose the seventh day as His day of rest. Who are we to speak otherwise? Christ said, "not my will by thy will be done." Yet I hear Christians saying, "not thy will, but my will be done," spoken contrary to Christ. They say, "you chose the Sabbath, but we've decided otherwise." Man making his own way in rebellion of God's word. Hard work, helps us enjoy life? That is all depending on what you call hard work and what you are enjoying in life 1 John 2:16 - For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. If that rejoicing is in the Lord, then all is well. But if that joy is of wordly things, such as materials, wealth, status, and the likes, it is wordly and carnal.
A 1/7 of the time? Proverbs 3:6 - In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. God is not concerned with the offering of your labors. Do you think that God needs money? Does scripture not state that obedience is better than sacrifice. 1 Samuel 15:22 - And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. Proverbs 21:3 - To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. Financial contributions are trivial when compared to justice and obedience. Yet man says, "I'll chose my own day rather than obey You." Hosea 6:6 - For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. We are told that many perish from a lack of knowledge. I agree with you that we glorify Him through our living, but it is not to make others want to have our material lives but our spiritual lives (as I think you are referring to. Not to want to be like us because of our wordly successes. This is the carnal mind (not to say this is your intent). James 4:5 - Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? We indeed have a carnal nature that desires to be envied, praised, and of worth in the eyes of others. But he who is exalted by men, is usually not by God. Matthew 6:2 - Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. Our worship is not done for show and envy as the hypocrites do. But our worship is in spirit and truth. Let not thy left hand know what the right doeth. John 5:44 - How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? Our fellowship must first be with God before we can experience true fellowship with any other believer. 1 John 1:7 - But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin I'm sure you noticed the IF WE walk in the light. Psalms 56:13 - For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living? He is surely able to keep our feet from falling, if we are willing to give up our own will for His will. You say he made us to live life to the fullest? I don't recall Him saying that. But I do recall Him saying this, Matthew 10:39 - He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. Matthew 16:25 - For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. Mark 8:35 - For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever John 12:25 - He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. These in no way imply to me, "live life to the fullest." It also goes back into what you are working hard for. If the heart is set on wordly treasures, then that is where the soul will be, with the corruptible things which are temporal and not eternal. Matthew 6:21 - For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. And our hearts cannot be for both mammon and God nor can it be for both physical and spiritual. 2 Corinthians 4:18 - While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. Luke 18:22 - Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. This does not sound like live life to the fullest to me either. He tells us to build up our treasure in heaven; not to indulge in the pleasures of this world, but that which is to come, the heavenly Jerusalem which is free. 1 Timothy 6:5 - Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. Let's not be of those who suppose that gain or success in life is godliness and a thing to be envied. 1 Corinthians 1:28 - And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: Scripture says that God has chosen the things that are despised and not those that are praised. When men sing praise to things, usually God is not praising it as well. 1 John 2:15 - Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. And I will leave with this. That love of the world and the things in it is not of the Father. According to scripture, those who love the world and it's belongings don't have the love of the Father in them. God says seventh day and no scripture says Sunday has replaced His Sabbath. So the question is who's will be done, His or our own? Love Always, |
