The thread-starter seems empty without some Sabbath-topic

Christ the Creator's Holy Day was "MADE for MANKIND" and not mankind "MADE for the Sabbath" Mark 2:27 - speaking of creation week and His "MAKING" of both the Sabbath AND mankind!

It is a day in the New Heaven and new earth when "From Sabbath to Sabbath ALL MANKIND will come before Me to worship" Is 66.

In Rev 14 we are told to "Worship HIM WHO MADE the heavens and the earth the sea and springs of water" --

Makes you wonder how much of the Bible we should "ignore" to cling to our man-made traditions "anyway".

What did you think of D.L Moody's strong support of Christ the Creator's Sabbath?

 

errr umm

the reference to D.L.Moody's support of Sabbath was "positive".

The reference to the Sabbath MADE FOR mankind was "positive".

The reference to the Sabbath and the UNITY of ALL MANKIND in the future that ALL come before God on Sabbath to worship was "positive".

How do you get something "negative" out of everything?

 

D.L. Moody ENDORSED the 4 th commandment and explicitly stated that his fellow Christians CONDEMNED the 4th commandment - the SABBATH commandment.

D.L.Moody ADMITTED that the Sabbath commandment applied to ALL mankind and is as much in force today AS IT WAS in Genesis 2:3!

That is a huge step forward compared to what we read here.

You seem to like to complain "anyway" - but I see a lot of benefit to it.

[b]Mr. Gladstone recently told a friend that the secret of his long life is that amid all the pressure of public cares he never forgot the Sabbath, with its rest for the body and the soul.

  When I was a boy, the Sabbath lasted from sundown on Saturday to sundown on Sunday,

Make the Sabbath a day of religious activity. First of all, of course, is attendance at public worship. "There is a discrepancy," says John McNeill, "between our creed about the Sabbath day and our actual conduct. In many families, at ten o'clock on the Sabbath, attendance at church is still an open question. There is no open question on Monday morning- 'John, will you go to work today.'"

…
Someone has said that without the Sabbath, the Church of Christ could not, as a visible organization, exist on earth.
…
Parents, if you want your children to grow up and honor you, have them honor the Sabbath day.

SABBATH DESECRATION​

Men seem to think they have a right to change the holy day into a holiday. The young have more temptations to break the Sabbath than we had forty years ago.[/b]

PUNISHMENT OR BLESSING?​

No nation has ever prospered that has trampled the Sabbath in the dust. Show me a nation that has done this and I will show you a nation that has got in it the seeds of ruin and decay. I believe that Sabbath desecration will carry a nation down quicker than anything else. Adam brought marriage and the Sabbath with him out of Eden, and neither can be disregarded without suffering. When the children of Israel went into the Promised Land, God told them to let their land rest every seven years, and He would give them as much in six years as in seven. For four hundred and ninety years they disregarded that law. But mark you, Nebuchadnezzar came and took them off into Babylon, and kept them seventy years in captivity, and the land had its seventy sabbaths of rest. Seven times seventy is four hundred and ninety. So they did not gain much by breaking this law. You can give God His day, or He will take it.

On the other hand, honoring the fourth commandment brings blessing:
"If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on My holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it." (Isaiah 58:13-14)
…

? Hasn't the time come to call a halt if men want power with God? Let men call you narrow and bigoted, but be man enough to stand by God's law, and you will have power and blessing. That is the kind of Christianity we want just now in this country. [/b]Any man can go with the crowd, but we want men who will go against the current.

Sabbath-breaker, are you ready to step into the scales?
