I believe the Bible as our only source for our beliefs and Sola Scriptura, the Bible as the only standard of faith and practice for Christians. Please read the following with an open mind i dont mean to offend anyone with it, but out of love i want people to know the truth.
please study the bible verses for yourself as well
i believe in a literal 6-day creation, i also believe that God set aside a day for us to worship Him at creation and that is where we get the seven day week from.
What day of creation did God make Holy?
I like how the NLT puts it Genesis 2:2-3
On the seventh day God had finished his work of creation, so he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation.
this is what the dictionary says about the word Holy
1. Belonging to, derived from, or associated with a divine power; sacred.
4. Regarded as deserving special respect or reverence
American Heritage� Dictionary of the English Language
1. (Ecclesiastical Terms) of, relating to, or associated with God or a deity; sacred
Collins English Dictionary
2. dedicated or devoted to the service of God
Random House Kernerman Webster's College Dictionary,
in Exdous 20:8-11 He told them to remember and He points back to creation
�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: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
Revelation 14:6-7 also points back to creation
Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth�to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people� saying with a loud voice, �Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.�
Hebrews 8:13 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
John 1
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.
God sent a man named John. He came as a witness to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. He himself was not the light, but he came to testify to the light. The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world came into being through him; yet the world did not know him. He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him. But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God, who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father�s only son, full of grace and truth."
So Jesus was with God in the begining, Jesus created all things and without Jesus not one thing came into being, God sen John to testify to the coming of Jesus, Jesus came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him, But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God, Jesus became flesh and lived among us.
Mark 2:27-28
"Then Jesus said to them, �The sabbath was made for humankind, and not humankind for the sabbath; So the Son of Man is Lord, even over the Sabbath!�
The Sabbath was made for all people for all time not just for a specific race.
Isaiah 66:22-23
�For as the new heavens and the new earth Which I will make shall remain before Me,� says the Lord, �So shall your descendants and your name remain. And it shall come to pass
That from one New Moon to another, And from one Sabbath to another, All flesh shall come to worship before Me,� says the Lord.
Jesus kept the Sabbath, when Jesus was talking about the destruction of Jerusalem in Matthew 24 verse 20 says
And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath.
because Jesus still expected people to be keeping the Sabbath
the Bible is clear tha the apostles were keeping the Sabbath
Paul kept the Sabbath
Paul also said in Acts 20:29-31
For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.
The Sabbathday is a holy day Saturday unmodern calendars . But every day spent with God and Christ and the Holy Spirit is a holy day of my eyes to some degree . Miss seeing you Becky . Glad you unblocked me .
