One thing I've witnessed in serving the "retired population" is that their retirement = lazyness almost always. They quickly go to pleasure focused life and end up crafting their own personal hells from the lack of meaning. Once the medical issues have stacked up, held steady by a stack of drugs, their family wants nothing to do with their day to day help. They rely on strangers in medicine, their doctors nurses and therapists, but in the end the medical field does not love you. This is despite money, where often that just allows for an expensice assisted living surrounded by more servant strangers. The next generations must strive to do it differently. The depression and suicide rates speak for itself.

Who changed the day from seventh to the first, God? Remember!

[@nessesmith5396]

The Catholic Church changed the Sabbath to Sunday

[@jackgtx440]

God changed it. Not the Catholic Church. Catholic Church is famous for taking credit for what God has done.

[@LemarSipes]

The early church changed it before Constantine was born or the RCC came into existence. Question is was the early church I authority to do this. Both sides can justify till the cows come home to roost in my hen house. I see ZERO scripture that GOD removed the sabbath, no Apostle authorization to change it to Sunday. What I do see is the sabbath on Saturday in scripture & Sunday as what we term the Lord's Day on Sunday start in the NT. This means I obey Saturday & spend Sunday at church. What gives me peace is that both sides of the isle get upset when I say this. How dare we give up our entire weekend so let's justify it to 1 day

@@LemarSipes Gods law has not been changed since he gave it. Man cannot change what God a has instituted.

​@@kembeaty7306ok & what did I say that is contrary to that?

[@aramisy.cajigas744]

Sorry, I didn't understand the point.

[@gordo191]

GOD gave us the seventh day Sabbath for a couple of reasons firstly as a day of rest and a holy day then GOD say in Exodus 20 v 12 I give you my Sabbaths as a sign between you and me so they will know who iam . The seventh day Sabbath was changed by the catholic church alone and they brag about it . The church says you can read the bible from genises to revelation and you will not find one verse that says sunday is the Sabbath of the LORD.

[@jenna2431]

Since Christians will refuse to try it for themselves, let me tell you my Sabbath experience when I tried it out. I got more done in 6 days than in 7. Consistently. It wasn't that I worked any harder, in all reality. I didn't suffer any deficits. AND I had a day off once a week to rest, to nap, to read, to study my bible, to catch up with friends and spend time with family without glancing at the time, for anything I wanted to do. But this buy wants to tell you to keep your nose to grindstone, why? Because of who he is and the people in Idaho he controls.

[@DriveByReviews]

Did you not watch the video at all? Just have your mind made up before you clicked, paused, commented your bias... He, in this video, says exactly the same thing where we will get more done in 6 days than working 7. So what's your point? That you pre judged? Can't understand long form content? Enjoy spewing your nonsense online?

[@sitka49]

I always hated Sundays, it was the day i had to psyche myself back-up to go to work on Monday. Especially Sunday Night was nothing but depression.

[@captainfield6998]

Great message! I just finished my first week of college and had to go to work every day of it right after classes. This is a good reminder that work is a gift from God and we need to be grateful for it even when it feels overwhelming at times.

[@gordo191]

Exodus 20 v 10 The seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your GOD. , Mathew 5 v 18 for verily I say unto you till heaven and earth shall pass before one jot or tittle shall in no way pass before one jot or tittle shall change from the law . You cannot change GODS word in anyway that includes changing the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. Yes we are under a new covenant but we are not under new moral laws,

[@ralphdavis162]

Please show me in scripture requiring “the presentation of the offering” as Doug put it.

[@heidilees.4407]

Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also: On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come. 1Cor 16:1-2

[@ralphdavis162]

Thank you, Heidi, for taking the time to reply. Your very kind. I am a seventy-year-old that is very familiar with God’s word, including 1st Cor.16. I ask that you read the text in context. Paul was instructing only the Christians in Corinth and Galatia that were living in the 1st century. You and I are not included in that group. They were instructed “to store up and set aside” until Paul arrived. They were not told to give to a pastor every Sunday. Selected men in Corinth and Galatia then brought their stored-up offering (which was anything at all, not just money) to the persecuted Christians in Jerusalem and they distributed their offering themselves as they saw fit. This was a one-time event only. Paul did not keep a large amount for his salary and the corporations’ expenses like so called pastors do today. Heidi, please know that a corporation is not a church. Placing the word “church” at the end of the corporation’s title, whether profit or non-profit, does not make it a church. By definition, a corporation is a false church. Amazon Church, Microsoft Church, Community Bible Church, Grace Church. A corporation is not a church! 2 Cor. 9:7 instructs us to be cheerful givers, but that is to each other. And we can be cheerful givers/helpers, and servants to each other in many, many ways. God bless and thanks again for your reply. I hope my answer will be helpful to you and please remember to read the text in context. @@heidilees.4407

​@@ralphdavis162acts 20:7 & revelation 1:10 also give us clues that worship was starting to happen on Sunday. It was inevitable, Christ had risen! What a great day, let's honor Him & remember that great day. Then we see rhe early church was doing it in their writings. This all became while the Apostles were still living, it was a few hundred years before Constantine & when the RCC came on line to take power over religion. What we don't see in scripture (unless you manipulate & justify on both sides) is GOD removing the 4th commandment, nothing definitive. We do hear from so called "church fathers" making claims & reassignment the sabbath to Sunday. Church fathers were carnal men just as we are. 100 years from now the RCC will lift up Benny hinn, Joel Osteen, Kenneth Copeland as church fathers & quote their writings. For me, maybe me alone but the sabbath 7th day stands as the 4th commandment (without all the extra Jewish add on) and Sunday as my day of worship as John said: the Lord's Day

[@sitka49]

Do you know how many time I heard "well since we had equipment problems - (Or some other outside influence out of our control) were going to have to work the weekend" - and usually this would come down on a Friday afternoon. Sunday just another day in the week.

Praise the Lord.

I thank God for you Brother. Thank you for treasuring and serving Christ's bride like you do.

[@sethoselken9562]

Go watch Walter Veith's lectures. Wilson doesn't understand this topic. He's conflating Pharisee maniacal law formation with something much more simple and much more intrinsic. God blessed and hallowed the seventh day at creation. New covenant arguments conflate "camp laws" and ceremonial laws with God's eternal laws. They try to argue that the fourth commandment was a shadow of Christ's atonement. Seriously, watch Veith's many lecture series if you don't want to be manipulated by those preaching disobedience of God's commandments
