AT TIMES I SIT DOWN AND WATCH YOUTUBE “CHRISTIAN” WHATEVERS.
YOU CAN SEE INTERVIEWS WITH “WELL KNOWN” CHRISTIAN PREACHERS AND CHRISTIAN ENTERTAINMENT PEOPLE.
SOME GREW UP AS “MINISTER KIDS” AND TELL OF TENT REVIVALS AND HOUSE TO HOUSE CALLS TO “COME TO THEIR CHURCH” DOWN THE ROAD.
YOU SEE THE CHRISTIAN MUSICAL SHOWS; PEOPLE GETTING RIGHT INTO IT, EMOTIONS FLYING HIGH.
THEY SING WITH EMOTION, THEY TALK WITH EMOTION!
OH IT’S ALL SO WONDERFUL THEY SAY; ALL SO GREAT GROWING UP IN IT ALL SOME SAY. AND ON AND ON IT GOES.
TO BE EXCITED ABOUT GOD THE FATHER AND CHRIST JESUS, IS CERTAINLY NOT WRONG; I GET EXCITED ABOUT THE TRUTHS OF GOD’S WORD, SALVATION, AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
I GREW UP IN A CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCHOOL, AND A LOCAL CHURCH NEAR TO WHERE WE LIVED. THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCHOOL HAD US LEARN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS BY MEMORY AS IN EXODUS 20. THE LOCAL CHURCH HAD ME MEMORIZE PSLAM 1, 23, AND A FEW OTHERS, AND OF COURSE THE FOUR GOSPELS WERE CENTRAL.
I HAD A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FATHER AND JESUS BY THE TIME I WAS 12 YEARS OF AGE.
I KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE 4TH COMMANDMENT OF THE TEN SAID, WORD FOR WORD.
IN THE 1950s TOWNS CLOSED DOWN ON SUNDAYS, VERY VERY LITTLE BUSINESS WAS DONE ON SUNDAYS. NO PROFESSIONAL SPORTS WAS DONE ON SUNDAYS.
THAT WAS NORMAL LIFE BACK THEN. I AGREED AND LIKED IT SO, BECAUSE…… WELL THE 4TH COMMANDMENT SAID…… SEE IT IN EXODUS 20.
AS SHOCKING AS IT MAY SOUND TO MANY, I BELIEVED SUNDAY WAS THE 7TH DAY OF THE WEEK. I MEAN IT HAD TO BE FOR ALL CHRISTIANITY I HAD EVER KNOWN WAS OBSERVING SUNDAY AS THE WEEKLY SABBATH. WHEN ABOUT 10 YEARS OLD I LAUGHED AT A BOY IN SUNDAY-SCHOOL WHO SAID HIS DAD TOLD HIM SUNDAY WAS THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK. I REMEMBER SAYING TO THIS LAD, “OH IT JUST CANNOT BE, FOR THE 4TH COMMANDMENT TELLS US TO OBSERVE THE 7TH DAY NOT THE 1ST DAY.” AND I JUST LAUGHED IT AWAY AND PUT IT OUT OF MY MIND.
COMING TO CANADA AT AGE 18, IT WAS MY BAPTIST LAND-LORD WHO TOLD ME SUNDAY WAS THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK; I WAS SHOCKED TO THE CORE OF MY BEING.
I WENT TO THE LOCAL LIBRARY AND FOUND A BOOK CALLED “CHRISTIAN FEASTS AND CUSTOMS” BY SOME CATHOLIC BISHOP [HIS BOOK IS ON THIS WEBSITE]. I TURNED TO THE CHAPTER ON THE SABBATH. RIGHT OFF THE BAT HE SAYS, PARAPHRASING: “THE BIBLE NOWHERE ORDAINS SUNDAY THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, AS HOLY, OR THE NEW TESTAMENT SABBATH.” HE WENT ON TO SAY IT WAS THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH THAT HAD THE AUTHORITY TO CHANGE THE THE SABBATH DAY TO SUNDAY, BEING THE TRUE CHURCH OF GOD.
I WAS SPEECHLESS! I WAS SHOCKED TO MY CORE!
I HAD TO REALIZE THAT SOME HOW AND IN SOME WAY ALL THE CHRISTIANITY I GREW UP WITH WAS WRONG AND WAS FALSE!
I LEARNED MUCH MORE OVER THE NEXT 6 MONTHS ABOUT THE WORLD’S “CHRISTIANITY”!
TODAY HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF CHRISTIAN PEOPLE, DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT THE WEEKLY SABBATH. THEY CAN WAX ELOQUENT ON MANY MORAL ISSUES…… BUT THE WEEKLY SABBATH, IT’S PRETTY WELL FORGOTTEN. IT’S AN ATTITUDE OF: THAT LAW OF THE SABBATH WAS FOR AN AGE LONG AGO, MAYBE THE JEWS, IT’S OUT OF DATE IN THIS MODERN WORLD.
THEY SAY, YOU CAN’T BE SERIOUS IN SAYING IT IS SIN TO NOT OBSERVE IT; OR, SURELY YOUR NOT SERIOUS TO SAY YOU MAY HAVE TO GIVE UP YOUR JOB TO OBSERVE THE WEEKLY SABBATH.
THE VAST VAST MAJORITY OF CHRISTIANS JUST CANNOT BELIEVE SABBATH BREAKING IS A SIN TODAY!
THEY CAN TALK ABOUT SIN, WELL SOME OF THEM; THEY CAN TALK ABOUT “MORAL ISSUES” OF THIS OR THAT; THEY CAN TALK ABOUT 9 COMMANDMENTS OF THE GREAT TEN, BUT THE LONGEST IN WORDS, IS THE COMMANDMENT OF THE 4TH, AND PRETTY WELL NEVER ENTERS THEIR MIND ANY MORE.
THE CHRISTIAN MINISTERS, WELL THEY CAN’T TALK ABOUT THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT, FOR THEN THEY’D HAVE TO PROVE FROM SCRIPTURE IT IS NOW SUNDAY, OR “DONE AWAY WITH” WHICH THEY CANNOT DO, THOUGH SOME TO THEIR SHAME HAVE TRIED. OR, THEY’D HAVE TO TEACH YOU PICK ANY DAY FOR THE SABBATH, BUT YOU SHOULD NOT WORK ON THAT DAY, EVEN GIVING UP A JOB TO SO OBEY THE SABBATH COMMAND. THEY JUST DO NOT, CANNOT, TEACH SUCH THEOLOGY - THERE MAYBE A FEW LITTLE GROUPS HERE AND THERE WHO TEACH OBSERVANCE TO SUNDAY FOR THE SABBATH IS NO SECULAR WORK; BUT 99 PERCENT OF CHRISTIANS NO LONGER THINK SERIOUSLY ABOUT OBSERVING EVEN SUNDAY IN A SERIOUS…. NO SECULAR WORK, GIVE UP A JOB IF NEEDS BE TO OBSERVE A FULL SUNDAY AS SABBATH; THEY CERTAINLY DO NOT TAKE THE WORDS OF THE 4TH COMMANDMENT IN REGARDS TO THE 7TH DAY AS STATED, IN ANY SERIOUS WAY AT ALL.
I MEAN IN ACTUAL FACT WHAT I’VE JUST SAID IS REALLY VERY SERIOUS; MORE SO REGARDING SUNDAY, IT IS THEOLOGICALLY UNSOUND AND VERY FALSE.
THERE IS A WHOLE LARGE SECTION ON MY WEBSITE DEVOTED TO THE 4TH COMMANDMENT AND THE SABBATH QUESTION. EVERY ARGUMENT EVER INVENTED TO SAY THE SABBATH COMMAND IS ABOLISHED, IS ANSWERED.
YES, BUT THE PLAIN TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS: THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT STILL STANDS; IT HAS NEVER BEEN “DONE AWAY WITH”….. AND YES IT IS SIN TO BREAK THE SABBATH COMMAND!
IT IS SIN TODAY AS IT WAS YESTERDAY, AS IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING, AS IT WAS IN THE TIME OF CHRIST, TO BREAK THE SABBATH COMMAND AS FOUND IN EXODUS 20. JESUS OBSERVED THE SABBATH WITH THE RELIGIOUS JEWS OF HIS TIME. NOT ONE SINGLE WORD CAME FROM HIS MOUTH THAT THE 7TH DAY SABBATH WAS TO BE IGNORED OR NO LONGER OBSERVED UNDER THE NEW COVENANT.
THE JEWS WERE VERY ADAMANT ABOUT SABBATH KEEPING; THEY WERE ALSO VERY ADAMANT ABOUT PHYSICAL CIRCUMCISION. SO MUCH SO IN FACT THE CHURCH OF GOD HAD TO CALL FOR A “MINISTER CONFERENCE” OVER THE MATTER TO DETERMINE THE TRUTH FOR THE NEW COVENANT - ACTS 15. IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY QUESTION ABOUT THE WEEKLY SABBATH, CHANGED TO THE FIRST DAY, OR DONE AWAY WITH COMPLETELY, YOU CAN BE SURE ANOTHER MINISTER CONFERENCE WOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED! NO SUCH CONFERENCE CAN BE FOUND IN THE NEW TESTAMENT!
NOWHERE, NOT ONE SINGLE VERSE ANYWHERE IN THE BIBLE, TELLS US WE ONLY HAVE 9 COMMANDMENTS OF THE 10, TO OBSERVE TODAY, IN THE CHRISTIAN DISPENSATION AGE, AND IN OUR SPACE-AGE SOCIETIES!
THE TRUE CHURCH OF GOD IN THE FIRST CENTURY A.D. WAS BEFORE, WELL BEFORE, JOHN WROTE THE BOOK OF REVELATION, GOING INTO APOSTASY AND FALSE THEOLOGY TEACHINGS.
JUDE HAD TO WRITE AND SAY CHRISTIANS NEEDED TO CONTEND FOR THE FAITH ONCE DELIVERED TO THE SAINTS!
YES IT IS SHOCKING FOR MANY TO HEAR ME SAY THAT 99.9 PERCENT OF CHRISTIANITY IS GOING THE WRONG WAY; THAT THEY ARE SINNING BY NOT OBSERVING THE CORRECT WEEKLY SABBATH DAY.
JESUS SAID BEFORE HE CAME AGAIN, MANY, MANY, NOT THE FEW BUT MANY, WOULD COME SAYING THAT HE JESUS WAS THE CHRIST, WAS THE MESSIAH, WAS THE SAVIOR, BUT WOULD DECEIVE THE MANY, NOT THE FEW!
ALL OF THAT EMOTION, ALL OF THAT DECEPTION; ALL OF THAT SABBATH BREAKING, WILL NOT GET ANY WHO PRACTICE IT INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AT THE COMING OF JESUS TO USHER IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD ON EARTH.
OH, I DID NOT SAY THEY ARE LOST AND HEADING FOR HELL-FIRE.
AGAIN THE VAST VAST MAJORITY OF CHRISTIANS ARE SPIRITUAL BLINDED, THEY JUST ARE NOT IN THE KNOW. THEY WILL COME UP IN THE SECOND RESURRECTION - “THE GREAT WHITE THONE JUDGMENT” [HAVE A FULL IN-DEPTH STUDY ON IT], AND HAVE THE BLINDNESS REMOVED, DECEPTIONS TAKEN AWAY. THEY WILL SEE THE WONDERFUL TRUTHS OF GOD; THEY WILL BE OFFERED SALVATION, THEY WILL BE OFFERED TO WALK THE TRUE WAY OF THE LORD, AND PUT AWAY ALL THE DECEPTIONS THEY WERE FED BY FALSE PROPHETS AND FALSE MINISTERS.
MANY OF THESE FALSE MINISTERS KNOW BETTER, THEY KNOW ABOUT THE TRUTH OF THE 4TH COMMANDMENT; THEY WILL NOT TEACH THAT TRUTH; THEY WOULD LOOSE THEIR JOB, LOOSE THE ADULATION OF PEOPLE - GOD WILL JUDGE THEM IN DUE TIME.
IF YOU HAVE READ THIS, YOU NOW HAVE IT BROUGHT TO LIGHT - I HAD IT BROUGHT TO LIGHT WHEN I WAS 19 IN SASKATOON, CANADA. I KNEW IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE THAT THE LONGEST COMMANDMENT IN NUMBER OF WORDS IN THE GREAT TEN COMMANDMENTS, COULD BE CHISELED OUT AND THROWN AWAY.
IT IS STILL SIN TO BREAK THE 4TH COMMANDMENT; IT IS STILL SIN TO NOT OBSERVE THE 7TH DAY WEEKLY SABBATH!
