oh, oh, oh no.

Only one’s missing

LOL. That was truly a joke. :-) I obviously don't know how it feels, but I can at least be sure that it's WAY worse than being punched in the boob.

:)

lol :-)

Good! Me too...except until I started reading the bible myself and thinking about the God/creation idea/belief myself instead of trusting some preacher to convey the honest true message. First I realized that keeping the sabbath is one of the commandments and that the majority of our society honors the 7th day on sunday, which is really the 1st day. The definitiin of sunday is "the first day of the week". The definition of saturday is "the 7th day of the week". The definition of sabbath is "the 7th day of the week". Next, I realized that most churches contain graven images and idols- another commandment (we are not to worship any idols or graven images). A graven images is an image or thing pertaining to the grave. Like a headstone, or a cross. Paintings and pictures of Jesus are idols. Then I realized what an obelisk is. A tapered pillar with 4 sides that comes to a point at the top. The washington monument is an obelisk. Many church buildings contain obelisks. One commandment says, "Tear down the obelisk for the Lord hates them." Wow-I guess that I was breaking 3 commandments just by going to church. What are your thoughts about this? And if you want the key to understanding the prophecies in Revelation, read

Daniel 7. It gives you the key to understanding! And watch out for the morning star...the one in Isaiah 14:12 and Revelation 22:16 ;)

Wow, that's a lot of info! I never really dug into it the way you did, but all of it is very interesting, and you make good points. :-) I'm not sure if I have an opinion of it just yet. I'd have to think on it and look into it some more. Thanks for the enlightenment. :-)

But I am human...When I read the good book, I drink beer :b

Sunday was used by Christians because Christ freed us from the law & he rose from the dead on Sunday. Jesus did not get hung up on Saturday rules. We can worship whatever day floats our boat. We do not worship the symbols seen in church. They remind us of Christian teachings. The obelisk was an idol and to be torn down. Do people worship the Washington monument today? No. Not an issue. Any item can be an idol if it is more precious to us than God. But otherwise it is not an idol for lack of priority. And God made wine for his 1st miracle. Drinking beer and reading the Bible is fine

With due respect DrSarcasm, the bible clearly telks us which day we honor the Sabbath on DOES matter. That's the problem-people think it's no big deal, but it is. For in 6 days did God create all that is in the earth and the heavens above and the 7th day he declared a day of rest. And that no man free or slave, rich or poor, nor any animal work on the 7th day. For it is to honor God and forms a bond between you and God. Sure, worshipping is allowed any time, any day. But honoring and recognizing the Sabbath on the 7th day is a direct command from God.

Genesis 2 New International Version (NIV)
2 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.

2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.3 Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he restedfrom all the work of creating that he had done.

God commands no work be done by anyone on the Sabbath day by anyone or any animal. So if we set the sabbath to another day....the wrong day, what happens on the real actual Sabbath day? People don't honor it and work is done. This is in direct violation of one of the 10 commandments.

Exodus 20:

8 “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns.11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lordblessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

Now which day it is, is simple to figure out. Look at a calander. Which day is the first day of the week? Sunday. Sunday is the day of the sun. The first day, when created light. You can look up the official definition also.

Genesis 1 New International Version (NIV)
The Beginning
1 In the beginning God created the heavensand the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

The 2nd day is monday, the day of the moon or lunes in latin meaning lunar.

God states that when a person honors him on the Sabbath a bond is made between God and that person, but to dishonor him and the 7th day sabbath, God shall turn away from you. This is one reason his children have forgotten him.

Isaiah 58:

13
“If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath,
From doing your pleasure on My holy day,
And call the Sabbath a delight,
The holy day of the Lord honorable,
And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways,
Nor finding your own pleasure,
Nor speaking your own words,
14
Then you shall delight yourself in theLord;
And I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth,
And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father.
The mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

Mark 2:

27 Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 28 So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”

New International Version (NIV)
Mathew 12:
Matthew 12 New International Version (NIV)
Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath
12 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain and eat them. 2 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”

3 He answered, “Haven’t you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? 4 He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread—which was not lawful for them to do, but only for the priests. 5 Or haven’t you read in the Law that the priests on Sabbath duty in the temple desecrate the Sabbath and yet are innocent? 6 I tell you that something greater than the temple is here. 7 If you had known what these words mean, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’[a] you would not have condemned the innocent. 8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

9 Going on from that place, he went into their synagogue, 10 and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Looking for a reason to bring charges against Jesus, they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”

See next comment first.
11 He said to them, “If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out? 12 How much more valuable is a person than a sheep!Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out and it was completely restored, just as sound as the other. 14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.

Hebrew 4:

Hebrews 4 New International Version (NIV)
A Sabbath-Rest for the People of God
4 Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. 2 For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not share the faith of those who obeyed.[a] 3 Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said,

“So I declared on oath in my anger,
‘They shall never enter my rest.’”[b]

And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world. 4 For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “On the seventh day God rested from all his works.”[c] 5 And again in the passage above he says, “They shall never enter my rest.”

6 Therefore since it still remains for some to enter that rest, and since those who formerly had the good news proclaimed to them did not go in because of their disobedience,7 God again set a certain day, calling it “Today.” This he did when a long time later he spoke through David, as in the passage already quoted:

“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.”[d]

8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works,[e] just as God did from his. 11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.

12 For the word of God is alive and active.Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight.Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

Heres the official Webster dictionary definition of Sabbath:

Definition of Sabbath

: the seventh day of the week observed from Friday evening to Saturday evening as a day of rest and worship by Jews and some Christians: Sunday observed among Christians as a day of rest and worship
: a time of rest
Heres the definition of Sunday:

Heres the definition of Saturday:

And finally actual proof in the bible of which day is the Real Sabbath:
Nehemiah 13:19

19 Then I commanded that the gates of Jerusalem should be shut as darkness fell every Friday evening,[c] not to be opened until the Sabbath ended. I sent some of my own servants to guard the gates so that no merchandise could be brought in on the Sabbath day. 20 The merchants and tradesmen with a variety of wares camped outside Jerusalem once or twice. 21 But I spoke sharply to them and said, “What are you doing out here, camping around the wall? If you do this again, I will arrest you!” And that was the last time they came on the Sabbath.22 Then I commanded the Levites to purify themselves and to guard the gates in order to preserve the holiness of the Sabbath.
Most new versions tend to leave out the word "friday" and for good reason. Because there is deception happening by the church.
So, now we must ask ourselves "so if the sabbath is Saturday, why do we worship on Sunday?" Again for good reason...deception and those who changed it know well that honoring God on the wrong sabbath day will cause a loss of bond with God and a lack of knowledge and understanding and of wisdom through the holy spirit. Who changed the day? I know but you can research it. The bible tells us an entity with a loud boastful bragging mouth that wages war against God's people. The antichrist. That comes from the 4th empire to rule the earth _past) and the little horn that sprouts up among 10 other heads (divisions or states) and the little horn destroys 3 of the heads.
Daniel 7

23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

Read next comment first.
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

Read the entire chapter 7 for more clarity.

The 10 heads were:

1. Anglo-Saxons

2. Franks

3. Suevi

4. Visigoths

5. Alammani

6. Burgundians

7. Lombards

The 3 heads the little horn destroys are:

8. Ostrogoths

9. Herulli

10. Vandals

This was the roman empire and catholic church crusades. The heads are of the 4th beast or 4th empire to rule the world...the Roman Empire.

So, we are told that this little horn that destroys 3 of the 10 heads also changes the times and laws. Why? Because it is the antichrist and wants lead God's children astray
