Sabbath keeping counts towards what, exactly?

[Rens]

You're free to believe that if you want, but to preceed your reply to Rens with "I agree..." was a bit misleading, because that's not what she was saying in that post.

Yes I did.
No you didn't.

Yes, well, I was defending you from being falsely represented. Wake up Rens.

Aw that's sweet. I don't think mc falsely represented me though, but watch out with him, he's trying to recruit me for the nunnery.
I think a lot of churches do it and christians. Doesn't mean it's a cult or sect, but it is stupid. We still have churches here in Holland where it's forbidden to watch tv or work on sunday, some don't even order food or walk instead of taking the car and it's not even on saturday.
In Israel they had lines for how many meters you could walk on a sabbath.

Well, that's funny, considering the nunnery is generally affiliated with the largest cult of legalists and lawmakers in the world that claims to represent Christ.

I don't know where some folks go to church, but if a place like toronto tells me I'm free in Christ and then tries to put 1000 new laws on me as Morecoffee described it, I would laff all the way out the door, but not without praying for the ppl there being deceived and falling into that unGodly laughter that was going around that place. I just don't know of these places around the world, but I dont get out much.

It's usually a place that either tells about freedom in Christ, or one that tells ppl to obey a bunch of laws. If theres places that do both, the ppl must get awfully confused.

But I do know false teaching and/or cultism and cult-Likeness comes in many styles, from those that say anything goes, there is no sin .....
To those that have nothing BUT sin guilt shame and laws upon laws .....
To some sort of convoluted mixture of both.

God's Word does seem to address all of that stuff, and provide the right answer in truth, though, so praise the Lord, and good afternoon. :friends:

I could go back to my old church that split over if Toronto was good or bad. Such fun!
I went to a wedding there. Didn't dare use my flags. The atmosphere was so neat.
I'll go to a bunnery.
It's going off topic btw.

Some religions tell us that keeping a day each week is important. They say it counts for something. Judaism says to keep "Saturday" meaning a day starting at sunset Friday and ending at sunset Saturday. Muslims talk of "Friday" as a day of prayer. Christians traditionally reserve "Sunday" for worship meetings and rest from worldly work. Ought one to keep a day and what does it count towards if you do?

Hebrews 10:23-25 [NIV]
23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

If we (the local 'church') do not agree upon and keep a 'sabbath' as a day set aside, how are we to follow this advice?
It counts towards 'one another' ... an opportunity to employ our gifts in service to the body and give as well as receive all of the 'one another' things that the body of Christ is called to.

I had never heard of it. I know these. The kids do that in their Catholic school. They go to a Catholic school cause the protestant one was stupid lol.

I honestly think that it is highly possible and likely that the Moon points to Sabbath.

That being said - even among those who use a solar-lunar calendar (the information I have come across to date anyway) is that they have "New Moon" days as a completely dark moon. This coincides with the West's definition of "new moon". However, I think there is biblical evidence to show that the New Moon is a full moon.

In either scenario - having a regular scheduled employment makes it near impossible to keep a lunar sabbath - as the calendar is widely different than the one we use and Sabbath is reckoned differently. Near impossible unless one is self employed.

Those who put keeping the Sabbath as a very high priority would merely say that this is where you have to decide between the two masters, i.e. you have to decide whether to obey God and observe the Sabbath or obey a human master and show up at work on time.

That said I've worked with a few observant Jews and they typically made arrangements to work longer hours Monday-Thursday so that they could leave early on Friday to observe the Sabbath, while still putting in their contractual hours for the week.

Agreed and which is why self employment/self reliance is extremely appealing to me. It's one of the reasons I grow plants and make my own alcohol. I am not currently self employed though.

Christians - Sunday, Jews - Saturday, Muslims - Friday.

All on continuous cycling 7 day weeks.

And yet, not one of them could point to their holy day (or any other day) if they were estranged from society, disoriented and without technology. For example - being shipwrecked on an island, disoriented and without a modern time keeping device such as a watch or clock showing the date.

I think you misunderstand. The Sabbath I am inclined to believe as possibly the real one falls on a different calendar.

^sorry, i need to learn condensing^ :heheh:

Not at all.

The true children (descendants ) of Abraham are not those of the flesh but of the spirit.
The true Sabbath is also that of the spirit not that of the flesh.

Around here they are sweet rolls with candied fruit and spriped like a cross on top with white icing

 

[MoreCoffee]

Here they are not very sweet. The cross is made of dough. It has fruit but it is not glazed.

I've seen both here, but mostly the stores carry the sweet iced ones here. That's the only kind I ever made (only a few times), but maybe I'll try the other style this year, ...less sugary, might be better at Easter breakfast.
