It really astonishes me how religious bias blinds so many and turns others away from the truth. The blind leading the blind. All the more remarkable, for how simple it really is. Because the sabbath is when we make our prayer to God. It is when we take a rest from the world, and have a pray. Most everyone will say they pray to God, in one way or another, at some time or another. So most everyone is keeping sabbaths, however they proclaim to pray. It just makes sense to me, if we are praying the Lord, to do it after the order that He says, lest He cause us to forget. And the Apostles teach us how to make it. Offer our self up as newborn babes, desiring to know His word. Which is our reasonable service. But rather than say "sabbath", nowadays it is said, "Call upon the name of the Lord". Because everyone that calls upon the name of the Lord is saved. When we call upon the name of the Lord, we offer our self up to Him. We are making a sabbath. And if He "feeds" us, then we are saved. They asked me to do it, first time I went to Church, "offer your self up to Jesus", they said, and they gave me the sinner's prayer to say (that I might adopt the right attitude). And they said it is an essential thing we must to do to receive salvation. Every Church I went to said it. With the luxury of hindsight, and a few years meditation on the word, and looking back now, I can see they are telling each newcomer to make the sabbath. We can do it. Praise the Lord Paul And He hath violently taken away His tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: He hath destroyed His places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of His anger the king and the priest.

I wasn't actually debating you, I was agreeing with you, except for about the Calendar. We are not to observe times. Not many are able to believe. Now I can say to you, you know nothing about God's commandments and their importance. You were saying how important they were, that even Jesus kept them all His life, but you don't need to keep them? And never let the Lord passover you? I do, as often as I can. And He does come quickly Paul He which testifies these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Revelation 22:20 Can you spot your own contradiction? Here let me show you: You said: "We are not to observe times." Then you said; "you know nothing about God's commandments and their importance. You were saying how important they were, that even Jesus kept them all His life, but you don't need to keep them? And never let the Lord passover you? I do, as often as I can." So which is it, do you keep the Passover or don't you? Or is this all to do with the what the voice/s in you head are telling you? I will repeat, seeing as you didn't take it on board the first time; We don't need to keep the Passover, that was merely one of the ritualistic Feasts and Holy Days the Jews (AND THE JEWS ONLY! NOT THE CHRISTIANS) had to keep in order for them to recognise the coming Messiah who would fulfil them. Jesus fulfilled 10 of the 12 Feasts and Holy Days. He will fulfil the 2 that are left, Atonement and Tabernacles, when He returns. The importance of the Feasts for Christians is for them to know when our Lord is returning on the day of Atonement, this will be the Great and Terrible Day of the Lord when he will appear on the clouds. Five days later is Tabernacles when Jesus will return to the mount of Olives: 1 Thessalonians 5:4 – “You’re not in darkness for that day to surprise you like a thief.” And: Amos 3:7 – Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.

I may be getting confused with another sabbath thread. The commandment tells us, we shall proclaim them in their seasons. I confess, I don't find it easy to take time out of my life.

Quote If you read and understand the OP then it will be you who will understand that the Passover is always on a Sabbath. If you continue to ignore the OP then you will remain in ignorance about this. Every time I make the sabbath, I hope the Lord passover. For when He does then He feeds me.

Then He met Mary etc. BUT HE WAS RAISED ON THE SABBATH. So OBSERVE the Sabbath for more than one reason. However your conscience dictates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The purpose of the sabbath is to come into the presence of the Lord. Isn't it? According to Jesus, the Spirit is always willing. It is us that is holding us back. That is why we have got to set aside a time, some time, to not do what we normally do with our days. And to not let our thoughts just wander randomly, as they normally do. It is a sacrifice. We are sacrificing our time. And we are sacrificing our desire to do our pleasure. And we sacrifice any proud spirit in us that might spoil our holy day with Jesus. The sabbath isn't anything esoteric or mystical. It is when we make our pray to God. It is when we call on His name. I don't think anyone denies they do that. And it's how we have a rest from our lives. Thank You Jesus Paul For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

I'm just going with the flow. Most don't even know what "keeping the Sabbath" is because they're blinded by man's traditions rather than the word of God. So when is it and keeping it are not mutually exclusive subjects. Yes they are: "Remember the Sabbath day, [when] by keeping it holy [how].
