SDA Says Sabbath Breakers Will Be DAMNED | Bible Flock Box Refuted

Colossians 2:16-17 So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ. I've done a solid exposition of Colossians 2:16-17 here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/favVaoOKfraXmKs - Also here is my video on whether Christ abolished the law kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZOaoKGilsiqa80

As for your Colossians 2:16 argument “Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:” - The "Sabbath Days" referred to here are the holiday Sabbaths. hence the talk of food and festival.. put it in context.. here is an example. " Firstfruits and Weeks are determined by day of the week; they will never be observed on a weekly Sabbath."..In addition there is a Sabbath year. Leviticus 25 (NKJV) 1 And the LORD spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying, 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into the land which I give you, then the land shall keep a sabbath to the LORD. 3 Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather its fruit; 4 but in the seventh year there shall be a sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a sabbath to the LORD.

Matthew 5:17 “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.” Red letters, Jesus said himself he is not come to destroy the law, he also said John 14:15 “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” Red letters..

I think you really need to revisit the book of Matthew, pay special attention to Matthew 5:19 “Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and SHALL TEACH MEN SO, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”

Why is it ‘work-based Gospel’, rather than just keeping the Law as it was given to us in the Ten Commandments? Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath, but did not come to abolish the Law or the Sabbath. It would be work-based salvation and a false doctrine to suggest that being born again (or our salvation) can only happen if we did the works, rather than receiving them through Grace. Whether one believes in the possibility of losing salvation and our names blotted out of the Book of Life despite once having the Holy Spirit, it should still be accepted that not following the Law has consequences and it will affect receiving heavenly rewards. Of course, there is support for the position in the Bible that people can walk away from the faith and without repentance, they can become apostates.

Not a SDA. And I agree we are not Justified by the works of the law. But are saved by grace through faith. When the religious leaders told Jesus that Abraham was their father. Jesus replied, If Abraham was your father you would do the works of Abraham. Jesus also said, why do you say you love me and do not what I say? And again the one who hears his word and does it, has dug deep and built his house on the rock and when the storm comes that house stands, be he who hears and does not do his word has built their house in the sand. And when the storm comes it falls. He also told us that when he judges the nations, he will put the goats on his left side and the sheep on the right. The sheep were doers of his word, they fed the hungry, clothed the naked, visited the sick, ect. The goats were not doers of the word, and did not the works of faith ( faith works by love) So what kind of faith was the faith God excepted with Abraham?

[@lionoffireraw]

Just a few truths… The Bible does state that the sabbath was instituted for national Israel (Exodus 31:12-18) (And there was no keeping of the sabbath prior to the exodus). Moses' indication to Israel in Deuteronomy 5:15 that God had commanded observance of the seventh-day Sabbath as a memorial of Israel being delivered from its prior slavery in Egypt would seem to indicate that it had not been observed prior to that time. Of the 10 commandments, nine of them are moral laws with the sabbath being a ceremonial law. Even if we are to keep the Sabbath holy, we still do this today because every day is made holy in Christ. I also believe that we rest on the sabbath because our sabbath rest is found in Christ (Heb ch 7) Colossians 2:16 talks about not having to keep days or Sabbath‘s. Some will say that that speaks about certain Sabbaths, but the fact that it mentions other days and ceremonies as well makes it clear that it is talking about the sabbath. Romans 14 also says that some choose to keep one day more holy than others, and that they are allowed to, but we should make no distinction between days and that he hopes those that do keep certain days holy will receive their full freedom in Christ by recognising that all days are the same. Also at the council of Jerusalem we see this was a place where it was discussed which old Testament laws the Christians would have to uphold. The sabbath is conspicuously absent in this very important council. The sabbath is the only commandment in the new Testament which is never mentioned. Many people say that the apostles worshipped on the sabbath, but this is not true. The verses they use is where they were actually in the synagogues on the sabbath and it says that this was because they were reasoning with the Jews to persuade them to follow Christ. There are actually verses which say that the apostles broke bread on the Sunday and collected the offerings on the Sunday. This highlights Sunday worship, although I personally don’t think it matters on which day we do. The sabbath was a foretaste of the rest that we now have in Christ!

[@mytwocents777]

The Sabbath was made for _man_ , according to Jesus. If only ethnic Israelites are considered "man" by Jesus, then the rest of us have a major problem. Paul clarifies that there is now no distinction between the ethnic Israelites and the Gentile races insofar as who belongs to the Olive Tree, the Israel of God; the only requirement being faith in Jesus Christ as the Savior. We have no record of any abrogation of the 4th commandment in scripture. Consider it a test to see who will adhere to God's last word on the matter when the Papacy enforces Sunday. We were told to "remember" it.

Jesus is our Sabbath. “Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ” (Colossians 2:16-17). Jesus is our “Sabbath.” Jesus’ death on the cross and His resurrection from the dead “fulfilled” everything in the OT law. The OT law was “the shadow.” We are no longer under the shadow, but under the Substance=Jesus. Since Jesus fulfilled the OT law and covenant, why return to the weak and beggarly elements of the OT Law? (Galatians 4:9) The word, “fulfilled” holds the meaning: complete/finished/through. If something is complete and finished, then nothing more is needed; you are through. You cease from works. Therefore, the people of God are no longer under the shadow but of the substance. Jesus is that substance. Therefore, Jesus is the Sabbath and that is under the New Covenant (The New Testament). If you’re still under the OT law, then you are under the “curse of the law.” This is clearly understood in James: "Whoever keeps the whole Law but fails in one point of it is guilty of all of it." (James 2:10). Keep in mind, the OT law concerning the old covenant provided forgiveness of sins from God through the blood sacrifice of animals. Sins were not removed, but only "covered" until the day of final redemption. Our redemption came through Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection.

The biggest problem that people overlook, with the boasting of good works, you create a barrier to those who still need to hear the Gospel. Almost every unsaved person I encounter, believe they have to be good, to go to church, be good to be saved, to do the work of overcoming theor own sin, before coming to Christ. These beliefs are compounded by people like Greg. Greg says if you become a Christian (and even to become a Christian) one must keep the sabbath. even though that 1 transgression of any commandment is worthy of death. Every SDA, once converted becomes a liar when they proclaim Ellen White to be a prophet. So after 1 trip to an SDA assembly on a Saturday, if you are not saved, and do not return, you are eternally damned. If you are saved but become a liar, you are eternally damned. Work 7 days a week to raise your family? Become an SDA and you might have to go without, or become homeless. Doug will happily tell you of his time in the forest to reassure you you don't need his $700 suits..... Now Paul will come to a man who works 7 days a week and reassure the man his salvation is secure, even if he continues at work 7 days a week. Paul would reassure the man, that if he died before conquering his addictions, he'd still be washed in the blood of Christ and be resurrected into the perfection of Christ. Paul called himself the "Chieftest of sinners" yet it was he whom Christ chose to spread the Gospel to us gentiles.

It's impossible to keep the Sabbath as prescribed in the old testament as there is no longer a temple. Why does it matter if there's no temple? Well, even on the Sabbath there was required sacrifice. No temple no sacrifice. Numbers 28:9-10: "On the Sabbath day, two male lambs a year old without blemish, and two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a grain offering, mixed with oil, and its drink offering: this is the burnt offering of every Sabbath, besides the regular burnt offering and its drink offering." This shiws that, in addition to the regular daily offerings, specific sacrifices were commanded for the Sabbath to honor the day of rest in accordance with God's law. Also these sacrifices were only done by the priesthood who was a specific tribe of Israel. So the majority of people in the world wouldn't be allowed to sacrifice. So thank God Jesus fulfilled all the law and faith in him is the only requirement now for salvation. Or cling to the law and fulfill it perfectly on your own. Paul goes into this repeatedly in his letters.

First, you must learn about the righteousness of God and the law, The law mentioned in the Verse of Romans 3:21-24, it's doesn't mean God's laws, it was man made law, which means👉 offering animals, now the righteousness( 10 commandments)of God apart from the law (the law of Moses 👉 offering animals) The righteousness (10 commandments) of God, through faith in Jesus..... 👉Now replace Jesus instead of offering animals 1.In the back of time of Moses, Abraham👉 ten commandments and alter (ceremonial law) 2.After Christ died on the cross👉 Jesus (faith) and The 10 commandments (moral law)..

15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole. 16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day. 17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. 18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

We should be careful when forming an argument around one scripture, but there is one verse that destroys the SDA heresy just by itself: Romans 14:5 "One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike.

What he, by the Holy Spirit, writes in Romans would make no sense at all if we were still under OT restrictions.

Christ did not violate the Sabbath. First of all, the account clearly shows Him violating the rules of the religious elites, and also taking the time to explain how His actions were completely aligned with the Law. Secondly, Hebrews says Christ never sinned. The claim that He violated the Sabbath amounts to saying Jesus is no the Messiah, and that the Orthodox Jews have always been right about Him being a false prophet. It's blasphemy.

How could Christ, a sinner, point his finger at another, and then condemn them, when he is a sinner himself?? JESUS CHRIST NEVER SINNED 1 PETER 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: 22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 1 PETER 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

[@NateH1984]

You abide in the Lord by breaking His Sabbath? How can you abide in Him while in open and willful sin? Gathering grain on the Sabbath was not breaking it per Jesus, but per your incorrect interpretation and the Sanhedrin. Go back and STUDY Luke 6 in it's correct **context**----Verses 1-10. To address your other remarks about healing the sick and blind: In Mark 3:4, we read the following "And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace." The story in John 5:18 is about healing. It is lawful to do good, meaning Jesus did NOT break the Sabbath according to God, because Jesus did the Father's will only and doing good on the Sabbath is NOT sin, if Jesus sinned, he cannot be the, "lamb without blemish and without spot:" In 1 Peter 1:19 . The Pharisees accused him of breaking their burdensome rules of what they thought was breaking the Sabbath, not what God had asked and not what Jesus was doing, which was magnifying the law and making it honourable (Is. 42:21). To magnify the law and make it honourable means to desire mercy, not sacrifice. If you read how Jesus kept the Sabbath, not the burdens that the Pharisees placed on others that were not in Exodus 20:8-11, and then accused anyone of not following their additional law keeping as breaking the Sabbath, you would know why John wrote that in 5:18, you can also see this in Luke 14:3-6. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees and a Lawyer (expert of the Mosaic law) for not having mercy and doing good in Luke 11:37-46 (pay special attention to verse 46 because Jesus is telling them they have no mercy for others), in other words Jesus explains to them a proper understanding and practice of keeping the Sabbath. Read Isaiah 58, Jesus kept the Sabbath according to Isaiah 58, as he said I desire MERCY, not sacrifice in Hosea 6:6, Matt 9:13; 12:7. You can find the conclusion of the context of John 5:18 two chapters later in John 7:19-24 where Jesus tells them, in 22-23, "If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day? Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment." Notice he was speaking about the healed man back in John 5 and people should not judge based on appearance but "righteous judgment" and that word righteous (δίκαιος) means **RIGHT DOING** character or **action**. So Jesus demonstrates that mercy which is action is the right thing to do and is NOT breaking the Sabbath as the Sanhedrin would like you to think it is. The sad part is that you actually agree with the Sanhedrin on their definition of what Sabbath breaking was and is, but Jesus told them and the Bible is very clear when you study it, that your idea of the Sabbath is wrong. Study Isaiah 58 carefully, Jesus kept the Sabbath according to Isaiah 58 and it is our example of how we are to follow Him in doing the same.

Every commandment that is broken deliberately without repentance and forgiveness is accountable to the person that does the sin. So if you know the truth and deliberately break the commandment then you’re guilty. Most Catholic sabbath keepers (Sunday) are unaware of the problem even though if they actually read the commandment and looked at the Calendar they might make the mental connection. After all Sunday is always the first day and Saturday is always the seventh, but habit, custom and not being taught those things by the Catholic Denominations (Sunday worship services).

And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. There are two categories that Jesus laid out. The first four of the Ten Commandments is mainly about loving the Father. The other six are about loving our neighbor. Jesus simplified his Father’s Ten Commandments by breaking them down into two categories. Abraham kept God’s commandments. Genesis 26:5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

The easiest way (I found it to be anyway) to make this clear when facing people that teach faith+works, is to start with the famous ephesians 2, 8-10. Just point out how the context explains what it says. It's clear that nobody is saved or not saved because of what they do, but then we are told we are to do good works. The easy way is this: Explain the difference between works to earn salvation and good works as a fruit of your salvation. Those two are not the same. Easy. Sanctification has nothing to do with salvation. And the kicker is that it never ever was. I once wrote a paper about the time israel was wandering in the desert that addressed among other things how they were saved back then, and how their worship of God was. No human has ever lived up to the law. Not then, not later and not now. It's just that they had a different means of getting their forgiveness. It was organized forgiveness by sacrifice.
