    Sabbath or Sunday? What did Jesus teach & show in scripture?

    Jesus is not a "day" nor is He ever symbolically/metaphorically linked to being a "day" in the Bible; He's linked to being "the vine", "the lamb", "the door", "the rock" and many other things but never, not once, a "day". We must stick to the Bible and the Bible only. To "rest in Jesus" actually...

    Here is from Wikipedia where I am a author and it is straightforward: 'One of the most influential aspects of the early Protestant historicist paradigm was the assertion that scriptural identifiers of the Antichrist where matched only by the institution of the Papacy. Particular significance...

    The Pre-incarnate Christ

    The Bible has it all there, but we must prayerfully look, and ask Gods help to understand to fully grasp the nature of Christ. Isaiah 9:6 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder. and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The...

    Sabbath or Sunday? What did Jesus teach & show in scripture?

    Now if the Sabbath was abolished, there would be many verses and much text to show it, yet there is none. The apostles would have had many discussions and the councils at Jerusalem would have written at least one with a determination of it being abolished and yet there is nothing. Paul exhorts...

    Sabbath or Sunday? What did Jesus teach & show in scripture?

    It is part of His character, a law showing love, love to God and to our fellowman. He is not going to change because men think they can override and change what out of His love He did at Creation and wrote with His own finger.

    Sabbath or Sunday? What did Jesus teach & show in scripture?

    Now did God know that this attempt to change His holy Sabbath would occur? "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of...

    Sabbath or Sunday? What did Jesus teach & show in scripture?

    This verse is referring to the Mosaic Law (some say Sinaic Law or Levitical Law, some say ceremonial law) and this is evident by the inclusion of the "new moon" phrase as well as reference to the meat and drink offerings that would take place (compare to Leviticus 23:37). There are two sets of...
