Keep commandments?The tree of life?

Hi
Are you really keeping the Sabbath? Or are you just one of those hypocrital pretenders as I suspect you are?
DHK

I can almost feel the love DHK,that you so proudly boast of in fulfulling thw law.

 

Hi Trying 2
I was brought up catholic but never knew what they were saying as it was still done in latin at the time.Choose to go to baptist church in my late twentys,for a few years.Then i started reading the bible and studying on my own.I havent belonged to a church for many years.I have a feeling theres a true church out there somewhere because the bible says do not forsake the coming together.I do no the true church will be keeping all 10 of GODS commandments and have the testimony of Christ.

 

Gibbon-sanctify themselves

Has anyone read the book written by cardinal James Gibbon. The book is called The Faith of our Fathers.In it he explains why the church no longer needs to keep the Sabbath of God. Keep in mind that he should know the history of the church being one step away from popedumship.On page 11 he states that the chuch no longer sanctifys the Sabbath as a day of rest. The church now sanctifys sunday in honor of Christ being raised from the dead. , even though their is no scriptural
basis for the change.

It appears to me that the daughters which came out of the mother church still have some of the DNA of the mother church although they wont come out and say they can change the commandments of GOD as does the mother church.
They all have different ways to get rid of GODS Sabbath.

EZEKIEL 20[12] Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know
that I am the LORD that sanctify them.

MY Sabbaths-sign-I the LORD sanctify them

ISAIAH 66[15] For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger
with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.[16] For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and
the slain of the LORD shall be many.[17] They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens
behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together,
saith the LORD.

Fire,whirlwind(Day of the Lord)- sanctify themselves(as cardinal Gibbon explained)-one tree in the
midst (graven image maybe)? I suppose it could even be a wooden cross! Thats a whole nother commandment
that people ignore.

No matter how many ways people will try and explain away the sabbath that GOD created for us,the bottom line is THE DAY OF THE LORD!

 

Hi Pauline-you wrote
Gaps,
We know that the NT Christians were meeting on the first day of the week, 1 Cor 16,2.

Just read that scripture.YIKES!
Are you saying thats the reason people changed one of GODS 10 commandments.

MATT.15[9] But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

 

Hi Pauline
If you believe the bible and what Jesus said you would know HE didnt rise on a sunday morning.

JONAS-3 DAYS AND 3 NIGHTS

MATT.12[39] But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and
there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:[40] For as Jonas was three days and three
nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Son of man-3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the earth
Does good Friday afternoon till ishtar (easter) morning=3 days and 3 nights

MARK 16[1] And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had
bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.

These women bought sweet spices after the sabbath was past(the high day passover sabbath)JOHN 19[31]

LUKE 23[56] And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.

These same women prepared spices and then rested the sabbath day(Gods 4th commandment)
How could these women prepare spices and rest the sabbath if they didnt buy spices till after the sabbath had past?
You guessed it! There were 2 sabbaths!

JOHN 19 [14] And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews,
Behold your King![15] But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him.
(These 2 scriptures are just more proof that the first of these sabbaths was the high passover sabbath)
JOHN 19[31] The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross
on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

MARK 15 [40] There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;[41] (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.[42] And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,[43] Joseph of Arimathaea, and honourable counseller, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.[44] And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.[45] And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.[46] And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.[47] And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
(These 2 scriptures are proof that the women that bought the spices didnt buy spices the day Christ was crucified)
(They were there when Christ was crucified and there when laid in his tomb)
MATT.27[54] Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.[55] And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:[56] Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.[57] When the even was come, there came
a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:[58] He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.[59] And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped
it in a clean linen cloth,[60] And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.[61] And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.[62] Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,[63] Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

 

Dhk-yes HE had already risen then.But how long before had HE risen.You do know the sabbath ends sundown on saturday.

MATT.28 [1] In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
[2] And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
[3] His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
[4] And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
[5] And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
[6] He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

 

Hi Pauline-Happy new year

MARK 16[1] And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had
bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.

These women bought sweet spices after the sabbath was past(the high day passover sabbath)JOHN 19[31]

LUKE 23[56] And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.

How do you explain the 2 sabbath days?Scripture says they bought the spices after the sabbath had past and in Luke it says they prepared the spices and rested the sabbath.They couldnt prepare them until they had them.
