Colossians 2, Acts 15, & the Sabbath

So I received a comment on one of my Instagram posts with several objections as to why this person believes the Sabbath no longer applies in the New Testament time period, starting with Christ came to fulfill the law. Now we're gonna go through each objection in this post, and see what the Bible says.

Matthew 5:17-18. This person didn't reference this, but this one that is often used to say that Christ fulfilled the law. So we're gonna go through this scripture.

Think not that I'm come to destroy the law, Jesus says, or the prophets. I'm not to come to destroy, but to fulfill. Now this word for destroy means to dissolve, and this word fulfill means to fully preach. So Jesus is not saying that he came to destroy the 10 commandments. He's not saying that he came to do away with them, including the fourth.

He's saying that he came to fully reach. Now let's go to the next objection here, which is that Jesus rose from the dead on Sunday, and they reference Matthew 28 verse one and Mark 16 verse nine. Now you can look at both of these scriptures, and it does plainly say Jesus rose on the first day of the week. Now that said, show me anywhere in the context where Jesus rising on the first day of the week means that Sunday is the new Christian Sabbath or that there's any amount of sanctity attached to the first day. It just says as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary and the other Mary came to see the sepulcher.

Now let's check Mark 16 verse nine, they said. Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, same thing, though. It says first day of the week, but it doesn't say anything about the Christian Sabbath being transferred to Sunday or any amount of sanctity being transferred to Sunday or anything at all like that. It just says he rose first day of the week as was prophesied that he would do. Now Acts 20 verse seven is where they say that Christians met on the first day of the week.

But let's look at the context. Is that Eutychus was sitting in the window, he fell down to his unaliving Paul through the power of God, Paul resurrected him. Upon the first day of the week, it says when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them ready to depart on the morrow and continued his speech until midnight. So he continued his speech until midnight. This lets us know right away.

It lets us know this is an evening vespers, if you will. It's an evening meeting. And because it's evening, it being it's saying the first day of the week, this is Saturday night. In fact, let's one translation says, I believe this is the good news translation that says it this way. Yes.

Acts 20 verse seven asked on Saturday evening. So even the good news translation recognizes what time this really is. But let's look at the Greek. Acts 20 verse seven. Here in the Greek, you can see that the word used is sabaton.

That's the word for Sabbath. Upon the first. Now this the way this is translated means first or it can mean one of the first. Sabbaths. This is the word used.

Sabbath. Now so this right here, Saturday evening. It's not Sunday second. This is not a Sunday service. It's not a Sunday morning service.

It's a Sabbath evening service. But why were they meeting? Because Paul was getting ready to leave the next day, and they wanted to hear him speak for as long as they possibly could. Now Paul was preaching for hours on end to the point where, again, Eutychus fell out the window and died. So Acts 20 verse seven doesn't refer to Sunday sacredness, but they also bring up first Corinthians 16.

But here we find the same thing. So Paul orders a a collection of money, a a, you know, a love offering, if you will, so that when he came through, he could pick it up and take it to Jerusalem right here. And it says translated in the English upon the first day of the week. Right? Now here's the problem with that.

We look at first Corinthians 16, and it's the same language here as used in acts 20 verse seven. So this could be Sabbath morning service. It could be Sabbath evening service. Even if it was the first day of the week, it's not saying anything about Sunday sacredness. It's not saying anything about Sunday church.

It's just saying, hey. Even if it's the first day of the week, guys, lay aside some money. I'm gonna come through in a few days. I'm gonna pick it up. I'm gonna take it to Jerusalem.

Nothing about Sunday sacredness. Nothing about a change of the Sabbath. None of that. Now this is perhaps one of the other easiest ones to prove wrong as well. They say the Lord's Day is generally accepted as Sunday.

I find that interesting that they say “generally accepted” and not “scripturally accepted.” But let's look at it. Revelation one verse 10. Now this is one of the most commonly used scriptures to try and prove Sunday sacredness because it says, I was in the spirit on the Lord's day. Now let's examine scripture with scripture and see according to the Bible, what does the Lord say?

Not according to what's generally accepted, folks. The Bible is the only rule of faith and doctrine. So we're gonna go to the Old Testament first. Isaiah fifty eight thirteen and fourteen says, if you turn away your foot from the Sabbath and from doing your pleasure on my holy day and the call the Sabbath a delight. So which day does Isaiah fifty eight thirteen say is the Lord's day?

What day is God saying is his day? The Sabbath, not Sunday. Not Monday through Friday, the Sabbath, folks. But in the New Testament, there are three texts that say that the Sabbath is the lord's day. The son of man is lord of the Sabbath.

The son of man was lord of the Sabbath. Luke six verse five. The son of man is lord also of the Sabbath. So if we go back to Revelation one verse 10, what day was John in the spirit on the Lord's day? Not Sunday.

The seventh day Sabbath. Right? They say Sabbath is not mentioned after Acts besides one time in Colossians chapter two. So we're going to go real quick. We're gonna look at where the New Testament mentions the Sabbath, and then we're gonna go into Colossians chapter two and examine that scripture.

So where does the New Testament mention the Sabbath? Now I know they said it's not mentioned till after Colossians two, but we're gonna go right from the get go. Now we just went Matthew 12, Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath. But if we go to Matthew twenty four twenty, Jesus says, pray ye that your flight be not in the winter neither on the Sabbath day. Now context here is that Jesus is prophesying the destruction of Jerusalem.

He's doing two things actually. He's prophesying the destruction of Jerusalem and the end of the world. What are the signs of the destruction of Jerusalem? What are the signs of the end of the world? So this prophecy of the destruction of Jerusalem that happened the the destruction itself happened in the year seventy AD.

Nearly forty years after Calvary, Jesus died spring of thirty one AD. Now since Jesus is prophesying something that happened nearly forty years after his death and resurrection, and he's saying, hey. Be keeping the Sabbath. And by the way, this is a command in the Greek. Be keeping the Sabbath.

How can you say that his death and resurrection ended the Sabbath or changed it to a different day? Now we also see in Hebrews chapter four, particularly verses four through nine, these scriptures right here, and it says for for he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, and God did rest the seventh day from all his works. And in this place again, if they shall enter into my rest. Then in verse nine, there remains therefore a rest to the people of God. So Hebrews four is doing something that we're gonna look at this in a second that Ezekiel chapter 20 verse 12 says, And this is Hebrews four is connecting, keeping the seventh day Sabbath as being the sign of entering god's rest.

It's not a salvation by works deal. It's a love issue. Now what is interesting about this particular text, Hebrews four, here you can see it here on blue letter Bible in the Greek. The word used in verse nine, Sabbathismos, means a keeping Sabbath. So this isn't some ethereal, Jesus is my Sabbath now nonsense.

It's clear here. Now where else is it mentioned in the book of the Bible? I made this graphic in my Canva account. And here in Revelation 14 verses six and seven, the Bible says that there are these angels preaching the everlasting gospel. Now this is highly symbolic because it's revelation.

So these angels are preaching the everlasting gospel. And notice this, it lists several things, but one of them is worship him that made heaven, earth, the sea, and the fountains of waters. And here from the fourth commandment, you see in Exodus 20 verse 11, it's almost a direct quote, for in six days, the Lord made heaven, earth, the sea, and all that in the midst. So the Sabbath is mentioned here in Revelation 14 verse six and listed as being part of the gospel message. Why?

Because it's salvation by grace. Now let's look at Ezekiel 20 verse 12 because I mentioned it in connection with Hebrews four. And here, this says a more condensed version of what Hebrews four says. Moreover, also I gave them my Sabbaths to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctifies them. In other words, the Sabbath is the sign that you have accepted Jesus as your savior.

Now if we go a few scriptures below, verse 20, hallow my Sabbaths, and they shall be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am the Lord your God. So the Sabbath is the sign that you have accepted Jesus as your creator. Now, you know, you might say Ezekiel 20 is what's that was being written for the Jews. That was to the Jews. Let's go to Romans chapter two verses twenty eight and twenty nine.

For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh. But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit and not in the letter, whose praise is not of men, but of God. But that's just one text. Let's look up another. Galatians three twenty eight and twenty nine.

There is neither Jew nor Greek. There is neither bond nor free. There is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you be Christ, then are you Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise.

So it's not about literal Israel anymore. It's about spiritual Israel. If you claim to be a follower of Christ, then you are spiritual Israel, and as such, you can't use the phrase, well, that was just for the Jews because you are a spiritual Jew. So that's law still applies for you. So no matter which way you slice it, you can't get rid of the Sabbath.

Now that said, let's look up numbers fifteen, fourteen, and 15 because here it's very clear. And if a stranger sojourn with you or whosoever be among you in your generations and will offer an offering made by fire of a sweet savor unto the lord, as you do, so shall he do. One ordinance or one law shall be both for you of the congregation and also for the stranger that sojourns with you. Ordinance forever in your generations as you are, so shall the stranger be before the lord. One law and one manner shall be for you and for the stranger the sojourns with you.

So it doesn't matter whether you're Jew or whether you're Gentile. The Sabbath is for you. It hasn't gone away. It's still here. Now let's go to Colossians chapter two then.

People often point to particularly verses 14 to 17, blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross. 16, let no man therefore judge you in meat or in drink or on respect of an an holy day or of the new moon or of the Sabbath days. Now here's the thing. If we look at the scripture, Paul is listing all the ceremonial aspects, and there were food laws. We're not talking about the dietary laws, but there were, food laws in which, like, the priest had to eat the sacrifice.

And here, Paul lets us know holidays or the holy days or the new moon, Sabbath days, and the feasts were also known as Sabbaths. So how do we know that's what we're talking about, though? And if we're looking in the context, again, Paul says blotting out the handwriting of ordinances. Where else do we see that in scripture? Now, again, we're going to follow Isaiah 28 verse 10 where the Bible says to compare scripture with scripture.

So let's do that. Deuteronomy thirty one twenty six says, take this book of the law and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the lord your God that it may be there for a witness against thee. So Colossians two says blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, and here the Bible is using that same language. And notice where the Bible says to put it in the side pocket of the ark. Now, in Exodus 25 verse 16 says, and thou shall put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.

Now the testimony is a word used in scripture to refer to the 10 commandments. Now if we look here at verse 21, again, it says the same thing. Thou shall put the mercy seat up above upon the ark. That's the the basically, the lid of the ark of the covenant. And in the ark, inside the ark, thou shall put the testimony, the 10 commandments, those two tables of the 10 commandments into the ark.

Right? So let's go Hebrews chapter nine verses four. The Bible says, which had the golden censer and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna. So he's he's listing here three things that were inside the ark. The pot that had the manna, Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant, the 10 commandments.

So here we see a few different scriptures, all the New Testament, where the 10 commandments were placed inside the ark of the covenant, whereas the law of Moses was placed in a side pocket of the ark of the covenant on the outside. Now many people will point to Galatians three nineteen because it talks about the law that was added because of sin. But let's go here to Genesis chapter two, and this is before sin. But notice what it mentions here. On the seventh day, God ended his work, which he had made, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it because that in it, he had rested from all his work which he had created and made. So God did three things with the Sabbath. He rested on it. He blessed it. He sanctified it.

These words of rested, blessed, and sanctified refer to celebrating the Sabbath in a holy way and that the Sabbath was set apart for holy use before sin. Sin didn't exist on earth at this point. So the Sabbath being one of the 10 commandments shows the presence of the 10 commandments before the fall when there was no sin. So the 10 commandments are not and cannot be part of the law that was added because of sin. Genesis chapter three, God comes to the Garden of Eden because Adam and Eve have sinned at this point, so sin does exist on the earth at this point.

Remember, Genesis two, no sin. Genesis three, sin. At the end of Genesis chapter three in verse 21, it says that Adam unto Adam also and to his wife did the lord god make coats of skin and clothed him, giving us a very strong indication that god had in implemented the sacrificial system, not the feast yet. Those came later, but the sacrificial system because a sacrifice had to be made. Something had to die in order for them to have clothing made of skin.

That something was a lamb, symbolizing the lamb of god that would one day come to redeem them from their sins. Now let's look at that graphic that I mentioned. Let me close that portion now. This is a graphic from my friends, if you can read this on your screen, from the highways and the byways ministry. But they made this graphic comparing and contrasting what we commonly refer to as the law of Moses and the law of God, the ceremonial law, and the 10 commandments.

And notice here how this one is called the law of Moses in Luke two twenty two, and this one is called the law of the Lord in Isaiah five twenty four. Ephesians chapter two and Colossians two refer to the law of Moses as the law contained in ordinances that that was against us, whereas James two verse eight refers to the 10 commandments as the royal law. Second Chronicles thirty five twelve lets us know in addition to the some of the other scriptures we looked at that the law of Moses was written in a book in a scroll. Whereas Exodus 31 lets us know that the law of God was written on those two tables of stone. Now keep in mind also that the 10 commandments were written on stone by the finger of God.

Now the 10 commandments are the only portion of scripture. God didn't inspire a prophet to write. It's the only portion of scripture he didn't trust us to write for him. Right? God inspired everything else in the scriptures.

He inspired, as Peter says, those holy men of old that were moved by the holy spirit. But when it came to the 10 commandments, god says, no. I'm writing those myself. The the law of Moses is placed in the side pocket of the ark whereas the 10 commandments were placed inside the ark. Ephesians two and Colossians two lets us know that the ceremonial law been at the cross.

But Luke sixteen seventeen lets us know that the law of God stands forever. Galatians, we just went over that. It says that the ceremonial law was added because of sin, but Romans seven and Romans three lets us know that the 10 commandments points out sin. Hey, folks. If the 10 commandments were abolished, then there's no such thing as sin, and you can do whatever you want.

But the Bible does not support that anarchy. The Bible lets us know that the 10 commandments are eternal. Right? You can go through the rest of these just for this just to save time and go through the rest of these and study these yourself. But it's clear that the law of Moses, the ceremonial law is not the 10 commandments.

This one ended at the cross. This one lasts for eternity. Now we can look at another scripture as well in Daniel nine at the very end of Daniel chapter nine, And this lets us know the context here is a seventy weeks prophecy, and the larger context is a twenty three hundred day prophecy. But that's the twenty three hundred days is a topic for another video. Now I wanna show you this chart from amazing facts that goes over this scripture here versus twenty six and twenty seven because it is important to the discussion.

A lot of people will refer to the last seven years of the seventy weeks and apply them to the end of time. However, my friends, the Bible does not do that. At sixty nine weeks, at the end of sixty nine weeks or four hundred and eighty three years of literal time, see these scriptures right here a day for a year, Jesus was baptized in the fall of twenty seven AD. You fast forward three and a half years in the middle of this seven year period, Jesus was crucified and resurrected in the spring of thirty one AD. It says that Jesus, the Messiah, would be cut off in the midst of that final week, and he will cause the and the oblation to cease.

In other words, he would put an end to the sacrificial system and the ceremonial law. If we go to Matthew 27, it supports this further. And it says in Matthew 27 verse 51, this is when Jesus died. Verse 50, Jesus dies. Verse 51, it says, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain or torn in two, torn in half, from the top to the bottom, and the earth had quaked and the rocks rent.

Now why is it significant that the the temple veil was torn in two from so this was likely an angel or the power of God, the hand of God himself, who took this veil and pour it in half. Now what that did the veil is what was separated the holy place and the most holy place. So when that veil was torn, it made those two rooms now one room, signifying the fact that we go directly to Jesus now, and we don't need a human priest to mediate for us. Jesus is the only mediator between God and man. Now if we flip back to Exodus chapter 16, a lot of people will say the Sabbath wasn't given until Sinai.

But let's look at Exodus 16 verse 28, the Sabbath is mentioned. God says, how long refuse you to keep my commandments? The context here is the miracle of the manna. God says, hey. You're in the desert.

You don't have grocery stores. You really can't grow anything out here. So you're gonna have manna Sunday through Friday. Of course, they didn't have the names for the days of the week back then. It was just days one through six.

Although day six was known as the day of the preparation, and then day seven, of course, was the Sabbath. But days one through six, god says, manna will fall down from the sky. You go out, you pick up what you need for the day. If you get too much, then if you have any leftover, then it you know, it's not gonna be good. Gather what you need for that day.

And sure enough, those who gathered too much, they found that it bread worms. And but god says on day six, double the amount of manna is going to fall. And so because there won't be any falling on the Sabbath. So make sure you gather double so that you don't so that you have something to eat on the Sabbath. And sure enough, as the story goes, they went out on the Sabbath anyway.

And so god says, hey. I I asked you guys I told you guys to keep the Sabbath and that there wouldn't be any manna on the Sabbath because this is a holy day. This blows out the notion that the Sabbath wasn't given until Sinai. Now some people will say that the Sabbath wasn't kept by anyone before Sinai. They will admit that the Sabbath was given before Sinai, that the Sabbath was mentioned in Genesis chapter two, but they were like, well, nobody kept it well.

Genesis 26 verse five says, because of Abraham obeyed my voice, kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. Remember, there was no feast system at this point. There was the sacrifices, but there was no feast system. But there wasn't the involved system of sacrifices that God did give later on to Israel. So the law that Abraham kept was the 10 commandments, and that did include the Sabbath.

Now Psalm one eleven verses seven and eight, the Bible says the works of his hands are weary in judgment. All his commandments are sure. They stand fast forever and ever and are done in truth and righteousness. This lets us know that the 10 commandments are forever. They are forever as god is forever.

Now some people like to point to acts chapter 15 because of verse 29, and they like to say, well, that means the 10 commandments no longer apply. But let's examine it more closely. First of all, let's go here. Acts 15 lets us know verse 20 verse one. There was a group of Christian Jews, some Jews who had accepted the gospel.

And they said, except you be circumcised after the manner of Moses, you cannot be saved. And a few verses later in verse five, it says there arose up a certain sect of the Pharisees which believed. These were Christian Pharisees, essentially, saying that it was needful to circumcise them and to command them to keep the law of Moses. So there rose up this massive controversy, people saying, hey. You have to keep the law of Moses.

You gotta be circumcised. You gotta keep the feast. You gotta do this, that, and the other thing. And so they had essentially, you could say, a general conference. They pulled believers, and they had their meeting, but it lets us know right away this is talking about the law of Moses, the ceremonial law, not the 10 commandments.

There's no mention of the Sabbath here. Because trust me, if they were saying the Sabbath is done away with, again, being Jewish believers, the church being primarily Jewish believers, there would have been an uproar, but there's no mention of the Sabbath here. The verse 28, for it seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things. Now play close attention here that you abstain from meats offered to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication, which if you keep yourselves, you shall do well. Bear you well.

And they were dismissed. And they took that message to the different churches and handed down the decision that was made by the count the general counsel, the general conference, and everybody went on about their merry way. But notice what it says here, abstain from meats offered to idols. What is this is idolatry. This is the first four commandments essentially because putting anything, whether you're breaking the Sabbath, whether you're taking god's name in vain or shipping an idol, breaking all of those commandments is idolatry, friends.

And it lets us know abstain from meats offered to idols and from blood, letting us know that the dietary laws are still in effect. And from things strangled, that's included there in the dietary laws, and from fornication. So here, we're seeing a a class of commandments from the first four commandments and from the second six. Idolatry here, fornication here, letting us know, hey, guys. The 10 commandments are still in effect, but the ceremonial law, the law of Moses, is not.

Now Jesus in John 14 verse 15 says, if you love me, keep my commandments. And further on, it says in verse 21, he that loves me is he that keeps my commandments. Right? He that hath my commandments and keeps them, he it is that loves me. He that loves me shall be loved to my father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.

So if you want to know Jesus, if you want him to manifest himself to you, cheap is law because you love him, not because you're trying to earn anything, but because you love him. Now a lot of people will say, well, the 10 commandments aren't the commandments of Jesus. Let's go to John chapter eight verse 58, one of my favorite stories and scriptures in all the Bible. Jesus says, I say unto you before Abraham was, I am. And they picked up stones to stone him.

Why? Because they recognized exactly what Jesus was saying here. Jesus himself was declaring himself to be the great I am that spoke to Moses. Now if we go to Exodus chapter three right here, verse 14, well, if they ask me your name, what do I say? And god says to Moses, Jesus is the great I am.

It's the same name that he used in John chapter eight. These 10 commandments that god spoke in Exodus 20, that was Jesus that spoke them in Exodus 20. The 10 commandments are the commandments of Jesus. Like it or not, it's the truth. Now Jesus also said in John fifteen ten that he kept the father's commandments, that he kept the commandments.

And he says, if you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love even as I have kept my father's commandments and abide in his love. Now if we go to first John chapter if we go to first John chapter two verses four through six, the Bible says, but who so keeps his word in him verily is the love of God perfected. Hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him also himself so to walk even as Jesus walked. And if you look in Luke, the Bible says of of Jesus in the book of Luke that Jesus kept the Sabbath.

And the Bible says walk as Jesus walked. Live your life as Jesus lived. And those who don't, those who say that I know Jesus and yet don't keep his commandments, the 10 commandments, they're liars, my friends. It's what the Bible says. Now a lot of people will point to first John chapter three.

It says, only thing the Bible says is to believe in love. That's all you have to do is believe in love. Well, James chapter two says the demons believe and tremble. So are the demons born again Christians? What is love according to the Bible, though?

Matthew 22, the Bible says Matthew 22, the Bible says here, love god with all your heart. That's the first and greatest commandment. Love your neighbor as yourself. That's the second. On these two commandments saying all the law and the prophets.

Now where was the Bible quoting from? If we look in Leviticus 19 verse 18, the Bible says, love your neighbor as yourself. And if you look in direct context here, all 10 commandments are mentioned, including in verse three, the Sabbath. Where does the Bible say love god with all your heart? Deuteronomy six verse five.

Love god with all your heart. Direct context here, in chapter five, all 10 commandments are mentioned, including the Sabbath. There can be no doubt to the honest hearted seeker that the 10 commandments are what the Bible is referring to. When it says, he that sayeth I know him and keepeth not his commandments is a liar. Now let's look further in the book of first John.

Although first, we are gonna look in the book of Jude. We're gonna look in Jude verse 21. Keep yourselves in the love of God. Now we look in first John chapter five. What does the Bible define as the love of God?

Compare scripture with scripture. Let the Bible define itself. For this is the love of God that we keep his commandments, and his commandments are not grievous. Other translations say his commandments are not a burden. A lot of people say the law is legalism.

The law is a burden. Well, the Bible disagrees with you. The law is not a burden, the Bible says. And it says here, by this, we know that we love the children of God when we love God and keep his commandments. This isn't a legalism issue.

This isn't a trying to earn salvation by works. This is an issue if you love Jesus, you're gonna keep the 10 commandments. There is no ifs, ands, or buts about that. You say, well, we might we can't keep the 10 commandments. We can't obey.

The Bible disagrees. Are you going to believe the Bible when it says that god can keep us from falling, that god can help us obey? Or are you gonna believe those who lie and say that they can't obey? Those who lie and say that the 10 commandments were abolished? I tell you what, friends.

These false teachers are gonna have reckoning in the end of time. Now the bible lets us know in the very last chapter of Revelation twenty two fourteen, blessed are they that do his commandments that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter in through the gates to the city. So those who love Jesus and keep his commandments, those will be the ones who have access to the tree of life. Now the Bible here, this might not seem like it has anything to do with the Sabbath, but it will be there here in a second. Bible says here in Revelation 21, I saw a new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away, and there was no more sea.

Now where else does the Bible mention this? Quite a big percentage of Revelation is quotes from the Old Testament. So So revelation 21 verse one is quoting from Isaiah 66 and verse 22. For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make shall remain before me, says the lord. Now in direct context here in the very next verse, the Bible where Revelation 21 verse one is quoting from, here it says in direct connection with that, the Sabbath will be kept when the earth is made new, my friends.

So we can look at all of these objections. But when you compare those but when you compare them with scripture, every single one of these is blown completely out of the water. The Sabbath is still sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. It was never transferred to Sunday, And that's simply that, my friends. Now for those who like to say because now for those who like to say that since Jesus rose from the dead on Sunday that we honor Sunday now, well, show me in the Bible where the command to honor Sunday is found.

Because in Romans chapter six, it talks about baptism being one of the signs. It talks about baptism being one of the things that we do to honor the resurrection of Jesus. Now if we go to first Corinthians 11 and the Lord's supper and the communion and foot washing, basically, we do that to honor the resurrection and life of Jesus, the death, resurrection, and life of Jesus. But you will not find one single text anywhere in the scriptures, my friends, where the Bible says to honor Sunday because of the resurrection. You will not find any scripture anywhere in the Bible that says to honor Sunday for any reason or that says that Sunday is now the holy day or that says that Sunday has any amount of holiness whatsoever.

Sunday is just a common working day. There's nothing special about it. So if you're a Christian who is going to claim the name of Jesus, my friends, make sure you keep his day holy.
