The Sabbath Commandment Needs To Be Kept.

A person needs to keep the Sabbath commandment just as he keeps all the other commandments.  You really need to reread the New Testament, again, if you think differently.  

The Sabbath Commandment was never abolished and it remains the same day of the week as the Old Testament identifies it.

1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.  (Genesis 2:1-3).

It clearly identifies the seventh day of the week, not the first day.  If you think otherwise, you are only fooling yourself, and ultimately God will hold you accountable.

2 Timothy 3:15-17 says:

"And that from a child you have known the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished to all good works." 

This scripture makes it very clear that "...All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine...".  It does not say that only some scripture is profitable for doctrine, or that only the New Testament Scripture is profitable for doctrine and the rest can be ignored or done away with.  It clearly says "...all scripture...".

If that is what this says and you believe the simple truth that the Bible does not contradict itself, then why do people religiously follow only nine of the Ten Commandments.  

Why do the majority of the Christians in today's world have no trouble with the sixth commandment, "You shall not murder.".  Or let someone in your church find out that you are breaking the seventh commandment, "You shall not commit adultery".  Violating that one would surely get you thrown out of your church!

If all the rest of these commandments are clear to most every Christian, why is there so much confusion when it comes to the fourth commandment.

The Holy Bible, tells us what we need to know about life's purpose, why we are here and where we are going from hear.  But the Bible even tells us more than that.  It tells us how we are supposed to live our lives.  

Deuteronomy 5:33 says, " You shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess."  

The scripture is clear that we are to follow God's commands, all of His commands.  Scripture , no where in the Bible, allow anyone to pick and choose what commands they want or need to follow.  Again 2 Timothy 3:16 says, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness...".

When the argument of the fourth commandment arises, most Christians will then change the argument from whether it should be kept to on what day it should be kept.  The Bible is clear on this one too.

"The Fourth Commandment states: “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work . . .” (Exodus 20:8-10)

"God commanded that the seventh day be observed as the Sabbath. A glance at almost any dictionary, encyclopedia or calendar will show you that Saturday is the seventh day of the week, while Sunday is the first day of the week. According to God’s calendar, the seventh day is—and always has been—the Sabbath day. Although man has modified calendars through the centuries, the seven-day weekly cycle has remained intact throughout history. 

"The days of the week have always remained in their proper order, with Sunday as the first day of the week and Saturday as the seventh. Time has not been lost in this regard, as some assert. “The oracles of God”—His divine words and instructions—were entrusted to the Jewish people (Romans 3:1-2), and they have preserved the knowledge of the seventh-day Sabbath faithfully since well before Christ’s time to this day. 

"Jesus repeatedly confirmed that the day the Jews observed as the Sabbath in His day was indeed the Sabbath. And since then the Jewish people, even scattered in many nations and in different sects, have all preserved the same day.

Moreover, the mainstream Christian churches, though rejecting the Sabbath, indirectly confirm when it is by maintaining their early tradition of worshiping on Sunday, which they acknowledge to be the first day of the week. Obviously that makes the previous day the seventh—the biblical Sabbath. 

"...James Cardinal Gibbons, Catholic educator and archbishop of Baltimore at the turn of the 20th century, was blunt about the change: “You may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify....

"...He admitted that Sunday observance is nowhere authorized in the Bible and that the seventh day is the only day sanctified by the Scriptures. His justification for changing the day of rest and worship assumes that authority exists apart from the Bible..."  (Sunset to Sunset: God’s Sabbath Rest, Which Day Is the Sabbath?, pg. 10, United Church of God, copyright 2003).

The fact is, as confirmed by James Cardinal Gibbons, the change to Sunday, the first day of the week can be found nowhere in the Bible, so it is obvious that it was made after the New testament was written.

There is simply no Biblical authority for the change of the Sabbath from Saturday, the seventh day of the week, to Sunday, the first day of the week.

If you are not observing Saturday as the Sabbath then you are breaking one of Gods commandments.

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