What is a Sabatarian?

Shalom,

If you have to ask, you're not one!!

There are more definitions on page one of this discussion, but here is a repost of Biblicist's post

1.a person who observes the seventh day of the week, Saturday, as the Sabbath. 2.a person who adheres to or favors a strict observance of Sunday.

Sabbatarianism is the heart-cry of Ellen Gould Harmon White's pro-Mosaic, pro-Old Covenant "Seventh-day Adventism." It would carry believing Christians today BACK TO MOSES, instead of onward and upward to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Very interesting considering that it was the Seventh-day Baptists who had to inform the pre-SDA's about the Sabbath AND the fact that initially EGW was opposed to it!

BTW, God gave us the 10 commandments; Jesus showed that they are based on the principle of love: love for God with all your heart, mind and strength and love for your neighbor as yourself. Which is why Paul wrote that love is the fulfilling of the Law. God is love!

I was just wondering what to expect at a sabbatarian service. I was raised freewill babtist and pentacostal.

wow..I just have to ask...but I am curious...I was also raised up with many different things so I want to know if your experience is like mine...HOw did you adjust to such two different extremes??? I have a friend who is free will (i have only been to that church once) ...I know me personally, I had a LOT of confusion growing up on what was real or not...In fact I hated prophecy and prophets until I got saved a few years ago...

I am a 7thDay Adventist. We celebrate the 7th day (Saturday) sabbath. Jesus kept the 7th day sabbath as well,

being Jewish. We are christians just like other denominations, and acknowledge Jesus Christ as our risen Savior. Our services are alot like others on Sunday, except its on Saturday as specified in the 4th commandment. We are 'adventists' as we antcipate the second coming of Christ Jesus.

Hi...I have a question for you and please I am not rebuking you..I am just curious so that I know more fully. (I ask questions ot my Muslim co-worker too just because I don't know and I would rather not assume anything unless I get it straight from the source)

But when I lived in Tennessee, we saw signs everywhere saying that if we didn't worship on Saturday, we were going to hell...is this how your church believes? I m also curious about the other questions on hte verses someone else pointed out...thank you...again I am just curious...

Actually, many born-again, Bible-believing Christians celebrate the Sabbath because it's Scriptural and Jesus celebrated it.

I choose to enter into a Sabbath rest on the 7th day, just as I choose to attend worship services on the 1st day and Home Group on the 4th day of the week, and am appreciative of the provision God has made for me in this regard. This in no way prevents me from continuing to remain a servant of God and seeking to fulfil His will during the 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th days of the week.

Romans 14:6 NASB

He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and he who eats, does so for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks to God.

Luke 6:9 NASB

And Jesus said to them, "I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to destroy it?"

Mark 2:27-28 NASB

Jesus said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."

Hebrews 4:9-11 NASB

So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His. Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall, through following the same example of disobedience.

I find it interesting that the same people who say we are bound by the law to tithe are the same ones who say we are not bound to worship on the true Sabbath.

The 10 commandments do not include remember the tithe and keep it holy.

Ahem...well...yes...um...let's change the subject shall we...

I don't know who put up the signs or why they put them up. But, be that as it may. Think of it this way: we are lost because we sin and we need a Saviour. If we choose to accpet His sacrifice for our sins then we are saved. Now does that mean that we are free to run back to our old sinful ways? Jesus's blood is the "double cure" to cleanse us from the guilt and power of sin. Too many people want to free from guilt but they still love their sins and that isn't the Biblical way.

Another approach: which law of God do you think you can break and still get into heaven?

If you love God with all your heart mind and strength and you love your neighbor as yourself then you will not break any of God's laws because that is the principle on which the laws are made: love--the character of God Himself. That's why Paul could say that love is the fulfilling of the law.

Amen, amen and amen!! Finally! A Biblically-sound position! Bless you!

Welcome to Worthy I consider everyday the sabbath as I take my rest in Jesus! Here are some scriptures that might help explain why I find rest and fellowship and worship everyday with my King

Rom.14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another. Another esteemeth everyday. Let everyman be fully persueded in his own mind.

I choose to esteemeth everyday

Rom.7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherin we were held;that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

Jesus set us free from the bondage of sin and law. Now we serve Him by choice out of love not commandment!! The old letter has been fullfilled you see

The bible even says that let each man be persueded in his own mind. God wants to be obeyed and honored and loved by choice just like you and I

Ok but what about these verses...Why does it have to be one day above another...in some's minds and even calenders...Sunday is considered the seventh day because of it being part of the weekEND. Again, I am just curious...
