(see up coming post on that.)
Beverly, I am glad you started with scripture.
So will I:
Isa 29:13 Wherefore the Lord said, For as much as this people draw near [me] with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
I cut and pasted your words from amongst all you wrote and these words are the reason and the only reason I will continue to blog and comment with anyone until I believe they are a lie:
"If I believed God, through his Word was really telling us to keep the Sabbath as the 7th day instead of the 1st day of the week, I’d have no problem in doing so. "
First you don't have to choose... you can keep both, one is your choice, and the other: what God asked us for.
Now let me also say as I have always said:" keeping the 10 commandments is not about salvation. Salvation is a free gift of Grace through Jesus Christ it is how we obtain reconciliation to god and forgiveness of sin it is the door to relationship with God."
I am not a Jew because ...,well I'm not. I was not born it and not raised it; it's more than a religion it is a heritage and life style foreign to me in many ways; so God does not see me that way; that is not our relationship (God and I ). I am not seventh day Adventist, who believe everyone going to worship on Sunday is deceived by the devil, and have the mark of the beast, and are lost when Jesus returns. I am not a Jehovah's Witness who deny the deity of Jesus/Christ; I do not belong to any cult or special sect of "Christianity". I am Just a child of God who loves his father and every day I want to show him how much. Like the woman in Luke chapter 7 who had been forgiven much and loved much. I am there. That is me. "...'; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, [the same] loveth little.".
We say we love God but we do not Obey him, or trust him or reverence him (Fear and Respect him).
| Jhn 14:15 | If ye love me, keep my commandments. |
Don't you see that the people who said they loved God the most who were teaching the love of God...KILLED HIS ONLY PERFECT INNOCENT SON.
LET that sink in.
How can God trust us we suck on record (pardon my vernacular). Our history is no good our promise is a lie, our best is the worst and our righteousness a filthy rag. How is he going to know who loves him? not by our words and deeds that is for sure.
one minute we love god and want to be a virgin the next we lust and have to stop our selves from sex ..but the lust has already condemned us....
On our own we can not do it living in this world survival makes us sin over and over in our minds and bodies; but it does not have to... in our hearts.
In our hearts the truth can be hidden from the devil and the world; we can be in the world but not of the world; we can hide the truth where only God can see it and only we can change it; as an individual... not as a church, or religion. Because they each have their own rules, and we follow those to the best of our ability too: tax cheat here, bounced check there, white lie here, curse word there, Judgments here, condemnation there...Gal 5:15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
I say all this to be clear I am not judging, just trying to help people who say they love God and I believe they do ...; I want to help them because that is why God spared me. Like the King of Nineveh I heard the preaching of Jonah "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.". Jesus is coming soon there are no more generations this is it. we do not have 40 years I will see the return of Jesus in the clouds. 1Thes 4:16
The ten commandments is more than the law of God it is his Character. it is the seed sown in the world that truly yields the fruit of Love . Real love; God's love.

The First commandment is what it takes to keep the other nine.
Look how God loves us and that is how he wants us to love him.
that is a love he has to create in us by trial and error. so it is strong in us so we will have the conviction of Job..."Below is the exact phrase.
Job 13:15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him:...'" a Jewish man God had faith in who kept God's commandments. we need to have the dedication of Jesus..."Jhn 10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not." (our only perfect example)
we have "Wealth of Character" if we mean what you said and study. I have faith you will keep God's Sabbath the way he said; not according to traditions of men..., again, I remind you of your words:
"If I believed God, through his Word was really telling us to keep the Sabbath as the 7th day instead of the 1st day of the week, I’d have no problem in doing so. "
