If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath,

[hmbld]

 2 cor 3:6  Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

 

2 cor 3:9If the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness!

2 cor 3:14
But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away.

Amen !  HALLELUYAH !    

"we all once were"  (EPHESIANS 2)  living in the world under the prince of the power of the air (the devil),  as still today everywhere the sons of disobedience continue without LIGHT, without LIFE, without the POWER OF JESUS, the SPIRIT of YAHWEH, or any TRUTH in their lives.

They live lawless every day,  disobedient,  rebellious,  opposed to YAHWEH WHO GIVES LIFE! 

Thus Scripture is TRUE: the blind leading the blind and both falling into the pit. for most of the world/ all worldly society.

13. If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:  

14. Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

Isaiah 58:13, 14.

 

Isaiah 58 is a very essential passage

we should not bring abomination to the holy place, which means we should not follow/promote heretical beliefs/doctrines and practices/activities - "sabbath" is the very moment in which we practice the faith (of course the same word has also other meanings, but that is its particular meaning in the 13th verse), so we should not practice the faith wrong/unrighteously

of course this doesn't mean that the faith is more important than the very salvation for humans, which is why the Lord says:

Mark 2:27-28 (NASB) "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. “So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."

because faith is nothing if its purpose is not overall salvation in the true God, indeed, it is a very dangerous sin if its purpose is not overall salvation in Him

Matthew 24:15-21 "when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. “Whoever is on the housetop must not go down to get the things out that are in his house. “Whoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak. “But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! “But pray that your flight will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath. “For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will."

Following is what the Lord God says about the Sabbath. It is up to you if you want to accept mere doctrines of men and not observe God's Sabbath that He gave to mankind. There is NOT a single scripture to support this doctrine.

Really though, is it not so much more than all this ?   NOT a single Scripture to LIVE HOLY LIVES as JESUS said we must be HOLY , because our FATHER in Heaven is HOLY. (the CREATOR and His children all "set apart", very different from the world, AND a total life change from the past sinful defiled unregenerate life, yes TOTAL CHANGE: darkness to LIGHT) .

A LOT to cover, encompassing all Scripture, hardly ever 'reached' or taught in the world,

but happens that worthychristianlibrary.com is a good resource on this site: note: God dwelling with  men.

if many spiritual servants and religious worshipers commit unrighteousness in the faith by treating the poor unrighteously, and as a result of that the poor are befallen by evils, won't that their spiritual/religious activity be a very dangerous sin, even if those spiritual servants and religious worshipers live paradisaically throughout their lives in this world?!

Isaiah 11:4 (NASB) "But with righteousness He will judge the poor, And decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth; And He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked."

So many things, so I shall try to list them.

• the Sabbaths are the feasts of the Lord (you want a feed don't you?)
• we shall proclaim them in their seasons (the sabbath isn't a day of the week.)
• we shall go three days, and sacrifice as the Lord commands us (the sabbath is three days.)
• it is an holy convocation (the time to make our eye single for the Lord.)
• we shall afflict our soul in that day (not do our will, nor do our pleasure, nor speak our words.)
• we shall offer our self up to God a suckling ram (not once, but twice or more times in a single sabbath.)
• we shall make an offering made by fire (groan in the spirit.)
• we shall make it holy (reverence and hallow His holy day always.)
• we shall make a sanctuary for the Lord (so He can live in us.)
• Jerusalem is in the kingdom of God, which is within (and we must worship Him at Jerusalem.) 

Misconceptions abound, for all the carnal interpretations of God's words,
but the things I listed here I got from the Lord's mouth, in His sabbaths.

And I can show the you the scriptures if you need.
Just ask.

He that asks receives.
Paul

Come, and let us return unto the LORD:
for He hath torn, and He will heal us;
He hath smitten, and He will bind us up.
After two days will He revive us:
in the third day He will raise us up,
and we shall live in His sight.
Hosea 6:1-2
