Sabbath or Sunday ?

[BlindSeeker]

What about Doctor's and Nurses if we MUST keep the commandment of the sabbath which ever day it is? I for one will worship the person Jesus Christ who is the Lord of the Sabbath. Since nothing else matters and it is all about Jesus.

It is ok to do good on the Sabbath . . .

What about Doctor's and Nurses if we MUST keep the commandment of the sabbath which ever day it is? I for one will worship the person Jesus Christ who is the Lord of the Sabbath. Since nothing else matters and it is all about Jesus.

The Bible does not prohibit doctors, nurses and other life-saving emergency personnel from working on the Sabbath. Even Jesus confronted the Pharisees that Jewish law did not prohibit, things like feeding the poor, taking a sick child to the doctor as a violation of the Sabbath. When Jesus healed the woman who was bent over, and the man who suffered from a withered hand, he did these things on the Sabbath, and demonstrated the hypocrisy of his enemies to criticized Him for it.

In ancient Jewish law and even today, Sabbath observance is trumped by saving or preserving human life. In fact, you are more in violation of the sabbath by not helping a person in need on the Sabbath. Taking care of sick person, rescuing someone from a burning building are not violations of the Sabbath by any stretch of the imagination, so one cannot really use emergency personnel as an argument against the sabbath.

Consider The World Refuses To Believe

Behold, He who keeps Israel Will neither slumber nor sleep.

Psalms 121:4 (New American Standard Bible)

And So Not Knowing The SON Nor The Father

Why do the nations gather together? Why do their people devise useless plots?

Kings take their stands. Rulers make plans together against the LORD and against his Messiah by saying,

"Let's break apart their chains and shake off their ropes."

The one enthroned in heaven laughs. The Lord makes fun of them.

Then he speaks to them in his anger. In his burning anger he terrifies them by saying,

"I have installed my own king on Zion, my holy mountain."

I will announce the LORD's decree. He said to me: "You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.

Ask me, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance and the ends of the earth as your own possession.

You will break them with an iron scepter. You will smash them to pieces like pottery."

Now, you kings, act wisely. Be warned, you rulers of the earth!

Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Kiss the Son, or he will become angry and you will die on your way because his anger will burst into flames. Blessed is everyone who takes refuge in him.

I myself am battling with the question as to which day am I suppose to have as Sabbath, Saturday or Sunday. I don't want to do what man does I want to do what God wants me to do. I will wait until a few other people to hear what they have to say.

Saturday is indeed the Lord's Shabbat - no doubt of it. It was changed to a Sunday many centuries ago. Mind you the Lord doesn't mind which day you worship Him BUT the Shabbat (or Sabbath if you like) is indeed the seventh day of the week - Saturday from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday. God doesn't change and He didn't change His Shabbat to suit man's laws. His laws are the ones we're to pay attention to. Hope this helps.

Shalom.

Absolutely spot on - well said and bless you.

Actually . . . to be correct it wasn't "changed to Sunday," it was abandon and replaced with Sunday.

God's sabbath could not be the same as mans, for Adam was not created untill day six and had worked only one day, naming the animals (Gen. 1:24-31; 2:7, 19-25). There is no record of any sabbath for man for at least 2,513 years after God rested on the seventh day. The first sabbath for man is mentioned in Exodus 16:23-29). It was a sabbath for Israel only, as a sign between them and God (Ex. 31:12-18; Ezek. 20:12-24) to comemorate the deliverance of Israel from slavery, not to commemorate God's rest day over 2,513 years before.

"And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day." Deut. 5:15).

Scripture teaches that God foretold in PROPHECY that He would do away with the sabbaths, and feast days: "It was fortold that the sabbath would be abolished because it had become something to be abhorred by God The reason God hated it was because of the sins and hypocrisy of Israel in keeping the sabbath which was a "sign" between Him and Israel. "I will cause her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, AND HER SABBATHS, and all her solomn feasts" (Hosea 2:11).

"Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto Me; the new moons and SABBATHS, the calling of assemblies, I CANNOT AWAY WITH; it is an iniquity, even the solomn meeting. Your new moons and your appointed feasts MY SOUL HATETH; they are a troubleunto me; I AM WEARY TO BEAR THEM (Isiah 1:10-15).

Also, Hosea 2:11; Galatians 4:9-10; Colossians 2:14-17; Romans 14:5-6.

In saying this Jesus finished sabbath observance. Jesus Christ finished His redemptive work and completed His victory over death, Hell, and the grave at the close of the seventh day sabbath of the old law and He rested on the first day. The first day of the greatest victory for God and the universe. It was the great day of triumph over sin, satan, death, and Hell. It was the day of joy and praise because of the resurrection, which guarentees the salvation and eternal life of all men who believe (1 Cor. 15; Rom. 4:25; 5:10; John 14:19; 1 Pet. 1:3; 3:2).

It was on the first day of the week that Christ met with His disciples. Exactly one week later on the second first day of the week He again met with them (John 20:19, 26). This was no mere accident. The Lord wanted to sanction that day as the one to be observed from that time on.

Christians are free to celebrate on any day they choose. Many prefer to worship as did Jesus and the apostles.

Scripture states that the sabbath can be celebrated on any day one chooses. The New Testament does not command men to keep any particular sabbath. On the contrary it teaches that men can choose which day if any that he wants to keep unto the Lord (Read Romans 14:5-6; Gal. 4:9-10; Col. 2:14-17).

Conserning meats and sabbath days: "One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. LET EVERY MAN BE FULLY PERSUADED IN HIS OWN MIND. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day doth not regard it. . . . But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at naught thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. . . . So then every one of us shall give account of Himself to God. LET US NOT THEREFORE JUDGE ONE ANOTHER ANY MORE" (Rom. 14:1-13; Gal. 4:9-11; Col.2:14-17).

If the law of Moses, including the fourth commandment, was in force in the New Covenant the above statements would have never been written by Paul. Each Christian can do as he pleases concerning the sabbath and he is not to be judged by his brother "any more."

The apostles here did away with all keeping of the law, sabbath keeping and cricumcision and stated in no uncertain terms that Gentiles were not to keep the Old Law of Moses which included the Old Jewish sabbath.

Included in this apostolic decree that Christians are not to keep the law in any detail was the very sign of law keeping which was abolished------circumcision. Even those who keep the Lewish sabbath do not practice this, thus proving again their inconsistency in requiring men to keep the law they themselves do not keep (Ex. 12"44-48; Lev. 12:3; John 7:22-23).

The seventh day like every other day of the week is not eliminated? Saturday still rolles around as it always has and will continue to do. People can keep this day holy if they so wish if it suits them. What Scripture teaches is that people now can choose which day they wish to keep holy.

Scripture states that the sabbath can be celebrated on any day one chooses. The New Testament does not command men to keep any particular sabbath. On the contrary it teaches that men can choose which day if any that he wants to keep unto the Lord (Read Romans 14:5-6; Gal. 4:9-10; Col. 2:14-17). In fact I will quote thme directly out of the Bible.

"One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks" (Romans 14:5-6).

"But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain"(Gal. 4:9-11).

"Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ" (Coll. 2:14-17).

Observing the Sabbath day and all its rituals and laws which were given to Israel these blotted out by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and a New Covenant now exists.

The Word, who became flesh, created all things, therefore it was He who rested on the seventh day. It was He who made the sabbath. He is Lord of the sabbath and as such He can and did have the authority to do what He did.

Jesus is; "Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:" (Eph. 1:21).

The Father Had Given Jesus all power and dominion over all things;

"And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church," (Eph. 1:22).

"Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the LAW of COMMANDMENTS contained in ORDINENCES; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;" (Eph. 2:15).

Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written NOT WITH INK, but with the Spirit of the living God; NOT IN TABLETS OF STONE, but in fleshy tables of the heart." (2 Cor. 3:3).

The aposlte Paul said that the Old Covenant Law was weak and beggarly. Paul asked, how can we turn back to the weak and beggarly elements of bondage? "But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? (Galations 4:9).

"Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? . . . . the law is not of faith: but the man that doeth them [things of the law] shall live in them. . . . how turn ye AGAIN TO THE WEAK AND BEGGARLY ELEMENTS, whereunto ye desire to be in bondage?" (Gal. 1:6-9; 2:15-21; 3:1-12, 19-25; 4:1-3, 19-31; 5:1-9, 11-21). Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years [that the law required]. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed labour upon you in vain" (Gal. 3:1-12; 4:9-11). Going back to observe sabbaths according to the law is spoken of here as going back into the bondage of the law. If one does this "he is a debtor to the WHOLE LAW" (Gal. 5:3).

The LAW "was added because of transgressions, TILL THE SEED [Christ] SHOULD COME to whom the promise was made. . . . But before faith came [that Christ brought in the gospel and the New Covenant, Hebrews 12:1, 2], we were Kept under the law, shut up unto faith WHICH SHOULD AFTERWARDS BE REVEALED. . . . Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, THAT we might be JUSTIFIED by faith BUT AFTER that faith is come WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER A SCHOOLMASTER" (Gal 3:19-25).

Not being "under" the law here is explained as being out from under its authority like one who is no longer under a schoolmaster when he graduates from school. The law is no longer a force and it has no claim or authority over the person under the new covenant. He is under the laws that were never a part of the old covenant, as well as those old laws that God saw fit to make a part of the new covenant.

The law has been "CAST OUT": "Tell me, YE THAT DESIRE TO BE UNDER THE LAW, do ye not hear the law. For it is written, that Abraham had TWO SONS. . . . he who was of the BONDWOMAN was born after the flesh; but he of the FREEWOMAN was by promis. WHICH THINGS ARE AN ALLEGORY: for THESE ARE THE TWO COVENANTS; THE ONE FROM MOUT SINAI which GENDERETH TO BONDAGE, which is Agar [Hagar]. . . . and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and IS IN BONDAGE with her children. But Jerusalem which is above OS FREE, which is the mother of us all. . . . Now we, bretheren, as Isaac was, are the children of promis. BUT AS THEN he that was born after the flesh oersecuted him that is born after the Spirit. even so it is now. nEVERTHELESS WHAT SAITH THE sCRIPTURE? cast out the bondwoman [THE FIRST OR OLD COVENANT FROM MOUNT SINAI] AND HER SON [those under the law]: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. So then, bretheren WE ARE NOT CHILDREN OF THE BONDWOMAN [the old covenant and its many laws], BUT OF THE FREE [the new covenant]. Stand fast therefore IN THE LIBERTY wherewith Christ hath made us FREE, and BE NOT ENTANGLES AGAIN WITH THE YOLK OF BONDAGE [the old covenant]. . . . For I testify again to every man that is circumcised [no man had any part in the old covenant unless he was circumcised], that he is a DEBTOR TO THE WHOLE LAW" (Gal. 4:21-31; 5:1-5, 18).

Modern law keepers never mention this passage for there is no possible way for them to explain such simple language as the old covenant "from Sinai" being "cast out" with all its sons who are under bondage and death. The old covenant that brought death has no more relationship to people under the new covenant that Hagar and Ishmael had with Sarah and Isaac. Abraham was the father of both Ishmael and Isaac, but Ishmael had no part in Isaac's inheritance (Gen. 21:9-21). God was the author of both covenants, but one was designed to bring death and guilt of sin, and the other was designed to bring life and freedom from sin. There can be no keeping of both.

The law was a covenant of types and shadows and was abolished when the realities of those shadows appeared. "Having ABOLISHED in His flesh the enmity [the law of bondage and death], EVEN THE LAW OF COMMANDMENTS contained in ordinances. . . . BLOTTING OUT [making void] the handwritings of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and TOOK IT OUT OF THE WAY, NAILING IT TO HIS CROSS. . . . let no man therefore judge you in MEAT, or in DRINK, or in respect of AN HOLY DAY orof THE NEW MOON, or of THE SABBATH DAYS: WHICH ARE A SHADOW OF THINGS TO COME; but the body [or reality of which those things were mere shadows] is of Christ" (Eph. 2:15; Col. 2:14-17).

Paul call's the Law a curse; and says that Christ free us from it; " Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:" (Gal. 3:13).

Paul says that if righteousness comes by the Law, then Christ died in vain.

"I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain" (Gal. 2:21). "Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the LAW of COMMANDMENTS contained in ORDINENCES; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;" (Eph. 2:15).

Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written NOT WITH INK, but with the Spirit of the living God; NOT IN TABLETS OF STONE, but in fleshy tables of the heart." (2 Cor. 3:3);

Does not the above Scriptures plainly state and teach that Jesus, abolished in His flesh the emnity, even the LAW of COMMANDMENTS contained in ORDINENCES? Jesus Christ abolished the Law of Commandments contained in ordinences, written NOT WITH INK, but with the Spirit of the living God; NOT IN TABLETS OF STONE, but in fleshy tables of the heart." (2 Cor. 3:3);

The LAW "was added because of transgressions, TILL THE SEED [Christ] SHOULD COME to whom the promise was made. . . . But before faith came [that Christ brought in the gospel and the New Covenant, Hebrews 12:1, 2], we were Kept under the law, shut up unto faith WHICH SHOULD AFTERWARDS BE REVEALED. . . . Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, THAT we might be JUSTIFIED by faith BUT AFTER that faith is come WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER A SCHOOLMASTER" (Gal 3:19-25),

.

The Jews who have rejected Christ, even killed Him, worship and remain under the Law do they not? Christ brought in the gospel and the New Covenant, Hebrews 12:1, 2], we were Kept under the law, shut up unto faith WHICH SHOULD AFTERWARDS BE REVEALED. . . . Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, THAT we might be JUSTIFIED by faith BUT AFTER that faith is come WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER A SCHOOLMASTER" (Gal 3:19-25).

Not being "under" the law here is explained as being out from under its authority like one who is no longer under a schoolmaster when he graduates from school. The law is no longer a force and it has no claim or authority over the person under the new covenant. He is under the laws that were never a part of the old covenant, as well as those old laws that God saw fit to make a part of the new covenant.

God never forces anyone to do what they do not want to do. Therefore, anyone can worship in any way they choose! I have ene put up Scripture which clearly says this.

"Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days" (Coll. 2:16).

Simply put, the whole law of God and MOSES, including the ten commandments, and all the civil and ceremonial laws based upon the ten commandments, was done away with and abolished in Christ on the cross and the New Covenant now takes the place of the Old Covenant. This is plainly stated in 2 Corinthians 3: "Who hath made us able ministers of THE NEW TESTAMENT . . . . if THE MINISTRATION OF DEATH, WRITTEN AND ENGRAVED IN STONES (the ten commandments); was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance WHICH WAS DONE AWAY. For if THE MINISTRATION OF CONDEMNATION be glory, MUCH MORE doth THE MINISTRATION OF RIGHTEOUSNESS EXCEED IN GLORY. For even that (the old covenant) which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. For if that (the old covenant) WHICH IS DONE AWAY was glorious, MUCH MORE that (the new covenant) WHICH REMAINETH is glorious. . . . not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that (the old covenant) WHICH IS ABOLISHED: But their minds were blinded: for UNTIL THIS DAY remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of THE OLD TESTAMENT; WHICH IS DONE AWAY IN CHRIST" (2 Cor. 3:16-15; Col. 2:14-17; Eph. 2:15). The word "vail" in this verse 14 is not in the original Greek, so it is not only the vail that is "done away," but it is the old covenant itself WHICH IS DONE AWAY in Christ on the cross.

Some people need an interpreter to explain this simple passage, but to the common reader it is clear that the old covenant has been "done away" and "abolished" entirely and the new covenant has taken its place. The ten commandments were the only part of the law that was written and engraved on tablets of stone so they were done away with on the cross (Ex. 24:12; 31:18; 32:15; 34:1-4, 27-35; Deut.4:13; 5:22; 10:4). Some argue that it was only the glory of the old covenant that was done away, but what good is an old covenant that has lost its glory? Why contend that we should keep it when we have a better and a new covenant that is more glorious and which remains in force?

Paul argues that the old covenant was given in glory, so if its glory is done away the covenant itself is also done away.

Leaving out the second "glory" in verse 7 and the second "vail" in verse 14, which are not in the original Greek, we have the fact plainly stated in both verses that it is "the old testament; WHICH IS DONE AWAY IN CHRIST." In verse 15 the old covenant is called "MOSES" thus proving that Moses gave the ten commandments.

Note the following contrasts between the old and new covenants in 2 Cor.3;

The first is "old" and the second is "new"; the first brought "death" and the second brings "life"; the first was "glorious" the second is "much more glorious"; the first brought "condemnation" and the second brings "righteousness" which free from condemnation (Rom. 8:1-4); the first was "the letter" and the second is of "the Spirit"; the first had "no glory" in comparison to the second "by reason of the glory that excelleth"; the frist was "done away" and "abolished" and the second "remaineth"; the first came by "Moses" and was "done away in Christ"; the first required a vail to hide the glory because it was "the ministration of death" but the exceeding glory of the second can be looked upon with "open face" because it is "the spirit that giveth life"; and the first brought blindness and bondage while the second brings enlightenment and liberty and changes character by the spirit of the Lord.

A mere change in administration of the old covenant the failure of either party in keeping it, or the place where it is written does not change the covenant from a old to a new one. Nor does such change its glory in any sense as some argue in trying to get around this plain Scripture which says three times that the old covenant was "done away" and once that it was "abolished" in Christ. Any change in the administration of a contract or the terms of a will would not change the will or contract itself. A will or a contract itself would have to be changed or a new one take the place of the old one if it would be "done away" and "abolished" as is here stated of the old covenant.

Christ came to "fulfill" the law before He "abolished" it on the cross (Matt. 5:17, 18). The Greek word for "fulfill"is PLERO, to satisfy, execute, finish, end, make complete, and cause to expire. It is translated "Fulfilled in connection with many prophecies which came to an end when they were "fulfilled" (Matt. 1:22; 2:15, 17, 23; 4:14; 8:17; 12:17; 13:35; 26:54-56; 27:9, 35; ect. That the law also ceased to be in force when it was "fulfilled" is clear from (Matt 11:13; Luke 16:16; 24:27, 44; Gal. 3:19-25). The law was only a shadow of things to come and when these realities came the mere type, picture, or shadow of them was no longer needed (Col. 2:14-17; Heb. 4:1-11; 8:1-6; 9:1-10; 10:1-18).

The law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by "Jesus Christ" (John 1:17). This not only proves that the law was not made know before Moses, but that is was replaced by the new covenant of grace and truth when Christ came.

Some teach Isaiah 8:20 holds us to the Old Covenant and all its Laws. This is not so.

Isaiah 8:20 has nothing to do with honoring the sabbath, or keeping the old covenant which has been done away and has been replaced with the new.

Isaiah 8:20, Isaiah the prophets great call to all men to try everything by the revealed Word of God (Verse 20). Anything contrary to the written revelation of God is of demons and satanic spirits, and not of the Holy Spiirit. The written Word of God is the true light; and those who want light and truth will follow it and reject all things to the contrary.

Verse 21; "And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward," They who live not in the light of God's Word will walk in Spiritual darkness. They shall wander here, and there through it (Immanuel's land, Palestine-the subject of this prophecy, Verse 8). hungry and oppressed by the judgments of God through other nations fretting themselves in themselves in spite of their trust in demon spirits who promise them help; and they will curse the king and their God for their miseries (Verse 21). They shall look up to heaven and down to the earth for help and shall find none; they shall have trouble and spiritul darkness and anguish to the point of dispair (Verse 22).

The following is prophecy, and Isaiah called all men to try everything by the revealed Word of God.

That being said, Scripture teaches that God foretold in prophecy that He would do away with the sabbaths, and feast days: "It was fortold that the sabbath would be abolished because it had become something to be abhorred by God The reason God hated it was because of the sins and hypocrisy of Israel in keeping the sabbath which was a "sign" between Him and Israel. "I will cause her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, AND HER SABBATHS, and all her solomn feasts" (Hosea 2:11).

"Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts? Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto Me; the new moons and SABBATHS, the calling of assemblies, I CANNOT AWAY WITH; it is an iniquity, even the solomn meeting. Your new moons and your appointed feasts MY SOUL HATETH; they are a troubleunto me; I AM WEARY TO BEAR THEM. And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.(Isiah 1:10-15).

Also, "I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts (Hosea 2:11);

"But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years" (Galatians 4:9-10)

"Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ" (Collosians 2:14-17);

People can worship on any day they choose as the Scriptures, and the New Testament, the New Covenant teaches;

"One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living" (Romans 14:5-9).

God's sabbath could not be the same as mans, for Adam was not created untill day six and had worked only one day, naming the animals (Gen. 1:24-31; 2:7, 19-25).

Wow, now there's a new approach . . .

So I guess God and Adam rested on separate days then?

Or . . . Adam didn't rest since there was no Sabbath for "for at least 2,513 years . . ."
