Subject: BIBLE FACTS ABOUT THE SABBATH



This page is about the Seventh day Sabbath God's holy day
from creation. Before you review these Bible facts ask God
for guidance and directions to open your knowledge and give understanding to study his words. God's laws are forever and they are unchangeable. The scriptures tells us that satan has transformed himself into angel of light to deceive people. 2 cor 11.4 He is the same serpent that went into the Garden of Eden and deceived Adam and Eve. satan is very much alive today in many of the doctrines, bringing confusion, he wants worship, he wants our praise and honour, and obedient that is due unto God only.
Let's review the scripture and see that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today, and forever Hebrews 13:8. He tells us in Daniel 7:25 that "they will think to change times and laws,refering to the Antichrist, false prophets who satan blind folded there eyes to believe things his way. Many
denominations believe that the sabbath is layed at the cross, God's laws that were written on stone with His own finger are forever. Heaven and earth will definitely pass but my words shall not pass away said the Lord.
In conclusion He tells us that his word is truth, so if you really and truly believe that they are truth. Prove satan a liar and examine the scriptures and ask God for a revelation about the seventh day sabbath.

30) There is not a word anywhere in the New Testament about

31) The New Testament mentions the sabbath 59 times.
Always with respect, bearing ths same title it had in the Old
Testament, " Thse Sabbath day."

32) There was never any dispute between the christians and
the Jews about the Sabbath day. This is proof that the christian
still observed the same day the Jews did.

34) There is no record that God has ever remove His blessings
or santification from the seventh day.

35) We cannot change the day God made the Sabbath, you
cannot change your birthday from the day you were born, to
some other day. Neither can you change God's rest day to a
day on which he did not rest. Hence the seventh day is still
God's Sabbath day.

Jesus said in Matt 15:-9 " But in vain they do worship me
teaching for doctorines the commandments of men" Hebrew
5:8 is clear that Christ is the Eternal Salvation for everyone
who obey Him. Rev 22:14 calls us Blessed when we do His
commandments.


I am sharing some popular questions that are asked on a
regular basis regarding the Sabbath. The answers that are
provided are from our only guide the inspired, infallible,
unchangeable word of God.

Q. Did God change one of the commandments so that today
your followers May keep another day?

A. "For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass one jot
or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be
fulfilled. Matt 5:18

Q. Why do so many people keep Sunday instead of Saturday?

A. "And he ( the little horn ) shall speak great words against
the most high...and think to change times and laws"
Daniel 7:25

Q. What difference does it make which day I keep? A day is a
day isn't it?

A. " know ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to
obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether to sin
unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness. Romans 6:16

Q. What shall I do, obey the Sabbath of God's commandments
or keep the Sunday of man.?

A. " We ought to obey God rather than man.
Acts 5:29 Matthew 15:6,9

Q. But surely the millions of people who keep Sunday can't be
wrong? Can they

A. "Enter ye in the straight gate: for wide is the gate and broad
is the way that leadeth to destruction and many there be which
go in there at: because straight is the gate and narrow is the
way that leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matt
7:13-14. Only a few obeyed God in the days of Noah, in the
days of Lot. In the days of Christ. The majority were lost.

Q. I know you, Lord you wouldn't condemned me for breaking
the Sabbath would you?

A. " He that said I know him and keepeth not His
commandments is a liar and the truth is not in him."
1 John 2:4

Q. Isn't is sufficient that I love the Lord and live by the law of
love?

A. " If ye love me keep my commandments. John 14:15

Q. Does that mean all ten of them?

A. "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and offend in
one point, he
is guilty of all." James 2:10

Q. Well I think that if we try to follow Jesus, that is all that is
necessary Isn't it?

A. " He that saith he abideth in Him, ought himself also to
walk,
even as He walked." 1 John 2:6

Q. But, Lord, that was over 1900 years ago. Wouldn't you
keep some other day than Saturday if you should come to
earth today?

A. " I am the Lord I change not." Mal 3:6 " Jesus Christ is the
same yesterday
and today, and forever." Hebrews 13:8

Q. Does my salvation depends upon my obedience to your
commandments?

A. " And being made perfect He became the author of eternal
salvation
unto all them that obey him ." Hebrews 5:9

Q. Is it absolutely necessary to keep the commandments to
receive eternal life?

A. " If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Matt 19:17

Q. But I still can't see why you insist on the seven day, Lord,
isn't Sunday as good as Saturday?

A. " God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it." Gen 2:3
" He hath blessed and I cannot reverse it." Num 23:20 " For
thou blessed
and, Oh Lord, and it shall blessed forever."
1 Chron 17:27

Q. Well it seems to me that if I keep one day regardless of
which one, that ought to be good enough?

thereof are the way of death. Proverbs 16:25. "Spiritual things
are spiritually deserned."

healed the sick, others talk in tongue; yet they do not keep the
Sabbath. What about them?

prophesied in thy name? Cast out devils? And in thy name
done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto
them, I never knew you: depart from me."

Q. Yes I know the Sabbath is right; but my business would
suffer if I close on Sabbath. I might lose my job.

A. " For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole
world, and lose
his own soul?" Mark 8:36

Q. But didn't the Apostle paul always meet with the early
Christian on Sunday in honour of the Resurrection?

A. "And paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three
Sabbath days
reasoned with them out of the scriptures." Acts 17:2

Q. Perhaps he met with the Jews on the Sabbath and the
Gentiles on Sunday. What about that?

A. " And he reasoned in the synague every Sabbath, and
persuaded the Jews
and the Greeks. " Acts 18:4

Q. Then, Lord , what is the reward for being faithful to you
and the commandments?

A. " Blessed are they that do His commandments that they
may have right to the tree of life, and may enter through the
gates into the city." Rev 22:14

Q. Lord I am looking forward to a home in the earth made
new, will we keep Sabbath there too.?

A. " For as the new heaven and the new earth which I will
make shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your
seed and your name remain; and it shall come to pass from one
full moon to another shall all flesh come to worship before
me saith the Lord." Isaiah 66:22-23
