When God said remember –the Sabbath…

[Rroja17]

One of the most perplexing questions facing the religious world today is being deliberately stifled by many leading churchmen. It is the question of the Sabbath. The reason it looms so large in the minds of so many is that it's a part of the Ten Commandments, which God wrote with His own hand and delivered to the world. It is found in the very heart of the Ten Commandments and is the longest and most detailed of them. It is introduced by the command, "Remember."

Specifically, what did God command us to remember? in Exodus 20:8-11.

"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it."

Now, this raises an interesting question, friends. Why do millions keep Sunday, the first day of the week, instead of Saturday, the seventh day as the commandment specifies? Why do they not keep the day God said to remember?

Some early Christians from the Rome church disagreed on some doctrines as in baptism, working on the Sabbath and other religious principles for they wanted to ease them. This is where the disagreement cropped and there occurred a split in the church, into the many reformations we have today. The Sunday keepers know it is not the Sabbath but they argue that they are celebrating the day Christ arose from the dead and as ell the day of Pentecost.

They claim that God is not interested in the day but the faith of a believer, but then what appals is how faith in God can be complete without one observing His decrees? Yes we all believe that God is there and should be worshipped but why did He give us commandments? He explained well in His command of remembering the Sabbath day, so that it could be well understood. Worshipping on Sunday or working on the Sabbath is a sin and breaking one commandment means breaking all. it is important that we let go of the ignorance on this command and not let ourselves cheated by the principals of the Sunday law. Heaven is for an individual.

Don’t you think the day of rest is important because without recognizing it we will not be remembering God’s command?

[lynkez]

Why not? It is very important just as our faith. Faith is crowned with actions. God ha d a purpose when He set aside only the seventh day and nowhere in the bible are we told that He again disregarded it by saying that any day can be of worship and rest. Seven is used in the bible 562 times and is kind of symbolic denoting, sanctification, completeness and perfection. We therefore, like all other commands, should keep this one and stop minding people's assumptions.
