BILLIONS will
soon Blaspheme the Holy Ghost
As prophesied, most Christians
refuse to open Bibles today to
verify what their pastors say
from the pulpit. In this age of
convenience they have been
conditioned to trust the pastors
without question. This
prophesied "lukewarm" mindset,
as Revelation
3:16 calls it, has given
rise to false preachers all
around the world. These wolves
in sheep's clothing can easily
lie to their congregations
knowing with absolute confidence
that the majority of their
victims will never check up on
them. As for the small number of
Christians that do investigate
their false message using the
Bible, they are quickly kicked
out of the churches so as to
prevent the truth about their
heresy from spreading. To keep
those remaining in the church
happy, they now preach
prosperity messages on how to
gain wealth, amusing sermons,
and even rock music mixed with
Gospel lyrics to keep the people
complacent by something as
simple as entertainment.
As
also prophesied; they then use
false doctrines that all the
world now agrees with to make
their flock feel they are safe
in assuming they're doing the
right thing with the thought
that since everyone else
believes in this way it must be
right. Case in point, one of the
oldest and most successfully
evangelized false doctrines has
to be the so-called Sunday
sabbath. In this quick study we
will look at the verses the
pastors claim are saying the
Sabbath has been changed from
the seventh day to the first day
of the week. It is my hope that
this enlightens many unto
obedience as so as to gain even
more blessings from the Lord.
Many use this verse claiming
this proves the Sabbath was
changed to the "first day"
of the week simply because that
is when the meeting was held.
But, this meeting was held at
night. To confirm this was at
night, read the next verse and
you will see it mentions the "many
lights in the upper
chamber." Later
in verse 11 it also states after
they ate, Paul "talked a
long while, even till
break of day."
The
question then is, are they
saying this a church service
because they broke bread, and
since it was on the "first
day" it must mean the
Sabbath was changed? Problem
with that thought is, in Acts
2:46 it says that they normally
continued "daily
breaking bread from house to
house." Since they define
this is a church service, this
must be the format the church
must emulate even unto today. If
Acts 20:7 is the definitive
proof we need to validate
Sabbath being changed from the
seventh day to the first day of
the week, then all Sunday
keeping churches must...
Yet nary a church does that to this day.
CLAIM #2. I Corinthians 16:2 "Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come."Biblical truth is, it's not a church service at all because first and foremost it's never declared as such. Nor is it tithing that Paul is gathering, which for some reason they claim makes it a church service. Paul was gathering what we call "love offerings" today. Finally, if the entire passage is read in context, it's discovered the passage is actually talking about Paul stopping by on his way to Jerusalem to pick up financial relief for the Christians in financial distress in Jerusalem. To verify this, see Romans 15:26, & Acts 11:26-30 which also confirm this as fact.
CLAIM #3. Revelation 1:10 "I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet"
Biblical fact is, the term "The
Lord's day" was first
coined by John in the book of
Revelation for the New Testament
Christian church, yes. But the
Pagans of old were moved by
Satan to use the term "Lord's
day" as well so as to bring
confusion later on so as to make
it easier for Satan who was
planning all along to use the
"Lord's day" as a way to control
all people on earth the last few
years on earth. In fact,
prophecy declares it to be his
"mark" and so you may want to
see a stack
of videos and an in-depth
study on all that here
when you get time.
When
Constantine demanded all
Christians keep Sunday holy in
321AD, which he also
called it the "Lord's day"
at that time. The warped history
being preached by pastors today,
wherein they changed what John
referred to as "Sabbath"
to what the Pagan's referred to
as "Sunday" proves the Vatican
was involved in this prophesied
end time agenda. For they have
admitted time and time again the
following statement for all the
world to see.
Some have recently started using
this passage to say the Sabbath
is no longer valid because they
assume Jesus broke it, or
disregarded it when He was
walking among us. First of all,
nowhere in this passage does it
say Jesus abolished
or broke the Sabbath. What it
does say here is the Pharisees
assumed Jesus and the apostles
were breaking the commandment by
picking corn to eat. Yet Jesus
proves with Scriptural facts
regarding King David, whom the
Jews respected, that He and His
apostles were not breaking
Sabbath at all. Jesus clearly
corrected the false teachings of
the Pharisees here. If it was OK
for David to relieve his hunger
and the hunger of those with him
by eating bread that had been
consecrated and set apart for
holy use, then it was perfectly
OK for the disciples of Christ
to satisfy their hunger by
plucking the corn on Sabbath day
as well. Both David and the
Apostles were in God's
employment.
Basic
reality dictates the temple
priests, and even pastors today,
perform greater labors on each
Sabbath as they do God's work,
do they not? The same type of
labor in secular business would
in fact be considered sinful.
However, the work of the priests
was in the service of God. The
labors they performed each
Sabbath pointed to
the redeeming power of Christ.
Their labor was in perfect
harmony with the object of the
Sabbath day so as to get the
work done that brought souls
into the truth. But now, Christ
Himself had come, and was
walking among them. As all
Christians will agree, the
disciples, were employed by God
to do a holy and sanctified
work. They were merely doing
that which was necessary for the
achievement of their Heavenly
appointed work on Sabbath
day. Jesus confirmed
this truth by stating He is "Lord
of the Sabbath." Seeing
how His apostles followed and
emulated Him, this proves they
are employed to do His work and
therefore free from guilt. Just
because the Pharisees didn't see
them as men employed by God
doesn't make it true.
By the way, for those who assume it is ok to break Sabbath by using this passage, you have to realize that in so doing you are actually trusting the word of a non-believing Pharisee; who by the way, was just corrected and exposed as in error by Jesus Christ Himself. In other words, those that believe the Jews were correct in their assumptions, and ignore how Jesus defended the Sabbath truth using Scripture that corrected the lying Pharisees, are in fact taking the word of the Pharisees as truth over Christ the Lord. As we all know, the Pharisees deny Christ as Lord to this day. Who then is telling the Truth? The ones who know not the Word or worship Christ? Of the one who wrote the Word Himself?
Simple truth here is, the "sabbaths"
mentioned here are not the
weekly Sabbath of the Lord.
Please read Leviticus
23:23-38 and you will find
that the sabbaths mentioned in
Colossians chapter 2 are the
annual sabbaths; or what most
today refer to as "feast days"
that acknowledged certain events
that would be fulfilled in the
future when Christ came as
Messiah. This is why Paul
referred to them as "a
shadow of things to come"
in this passage.
Make
special note that after it lists
the annual sabbaths in Leviticus
23:23-37 that it says in Verse 38
that these annual sabbaths are "besides
the Sabbath of the Lord."
In Matthew 5:17 Jesus literally
said, "Think not that I am come
to destroy the law, or the
prophets: I am not come to
destroy, but to fulfil."
No one can "fulfill" a
weekly Sabbath because it points
all the way back to creation.
That is why the 4th Commandment
starts with the word "Remember"
when speaking of Sabbath.
Keeping the Sabbath is a day to
worship the Creator of all
things. You simply cannot
"fulfill" an event that has
already passed. When those
annual sabbaths were instituted,
it was thousands of years before
Jesus would come to fulfill all
that the annual sabbaths were
pointing to. The children of God
were symbolically keeping the
feast days back then as a way to
look forward to the prophesied
arrival Messiah when He would
actually fulfill them in
reality.
For
example, even the lamb sacrifice
they offered for their sins back
then was a "shadow of things
to come," which all
Christians acknowledge was
fulfilled when "the Lamb of God,
which taketh away the sin of the
world" (John 1:29) actually died
on the cross. This is why Jesus
said "it is finished"
just before He died in John
19:30. He literally "fulfilled"
His reason for coming the very
day He died for us.
The Law of God is not the same as the law of Moses that Leviticus and Colossians are obviously referring to here. Moses law, or "commandments contained in ordinances" ended at the cross as Ephesians 2:15 proved. And God's Law stands forever exactly as Luke 16:17 proclaimed it will do. Hebrews 9:1,10 also says, "Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation."
That "reformation" Paul speaks of here was when Jesus came as Messiah and then accepted as Saviour by the people of faith. All the feast days that pointed to Calvary were now finished as prophesied in Christ. And to further confirm this, see Hebrews 9:11-15 when you get time.
CLAIM #6. Galatians 4:9-11, "But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain."
Some believe this is speaking of
Sabbaths because the word "days"
is used in a way that suggests
religious observance. However,
again we find that the weekly
Sabbath is not mentioned here at
all. If this is read in context,
we find that Paul knew how the
Galatians were at one time
Pagans and therefore used to
ritualistic forms of worship.
The Jewish converts to
Christianity, like those in the
book of Colossians, wanted to
continue on with their feast
days. Their legalistic form of
worship appealed to the
Galatians because of their Pagan
roots, and had to be dealt with
by Paul because he hoped to
prevent what we now see
happening in nearly every church
today.
Like today's feast day movement in a few churches, they sought to mix the annual Sabbaths of the Old Testament into New Testament church worship. But as prophesied, this carnal law was only "until the time of reformation" as we learned earlier. By causing the Galatians to fall for this error they were able to eclipse the atoning work of Christ on Calvary just as the enemy of souls planned. By observing these "days and months" they were promoting their own abilities as the means of salvation, rather than Christ's sacrifice on the cross. But the truth is it's "not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:9) This is also why Paul was concerned his preaching to them was a "labour in vain" because they were showing signs of desiring to "be in bondage" to the annual sabbaths Jesus already declared and prophecy confirmed were "abolished at the cross." If you notice, this is the very same method of twisting God's Holy Word the false preachers used with Colossians 2:16-17 as we just learned. Therefore the same method of revelation can be used to expose it. Where I ask in the Commandments does it speak of "days, months, times, & years" as we see it doing in Galatians? Since it doesn't, this passage can't possibly be speaking of the eternally justified seventh day Sabbath.
CLAIM #7.
Romans 14:5 "One man esteemeth
one day above another:
another esteemeth every day
alike. Let every man be fully
persuaded in his own mind.
Again,
nowhere in this passage does it
say we should keep Sunday as
Sabbath. To use such a verse is
to create a verse or doctrine
that doesn't exist, and
according to Revelation
22:18-19, that is one very
deadly mistake!
Biblical
fact is, this verse is again
speaking of the annual holy-days
that some of the Jews still felt
compelled to keep as well as
force all to "esteemeth
one day above another"
so as to have control over the
people. Most Gentile
converts to Christianity back
then were not compelled to keep
such feast days. Even some of
the Jews that did accept Christ
as Messiah also had difficulty
in giving up their life long
traditions. A good way to
compare this with today's
Christian church is where some
Christians to this day keep Pagan
holidays like Christmas and
Easter, that were
introduced by their leaders that
as
prophesied, bowed to the
Popes of Rome, where other
Christians that "followed the
Lamb withersoever He goeth"
broke free as prophesied in Revelation
18:1-5 and prefer not
partake in such celebrations and
merrymaking. Still, keep in mind
that if they truly see no wrong
in this act, we are not to judge
them. We can try to warn them of
course, but that's where our job
ends. That's why it clearly
states, "Let every man be fully
persuaded in his own mind"
here. We cannot force any man to
believe anything we believe.
Fact is, if they truly do not
see the sin, the Lord does not
judge them of it anyway. For is
it not written in Acts 17:30,
"And the times of this ignorance
God winked at; but now
commandeth all men every where
to repent." If you warn
them and they understand, they
may come out of that fallen
church. By the way, if you read
all of Romans 14, you will
discover the true topic and find
it was again taken completely
out of context.
God never rested on the first
day of the week. He never
blessed it, nor did His Son
Jesus ever acknowledge the first
day of the week in any way shape
or form. The Apostles never
rested on it either. In fact,
the New Testament Christians
were never recorded as being at
rest on the first day of the
week in any historic reference
nor bible Scripture known to
man. If those that believe such
things would have researched
their own church history they
would have found that in 321AD
Constantine made the Pagan
Sunday sabbath law of the land
under pressure of the Bishop of
Rome. Historic fact is, all
Christians kept the true Sabbath
for hundreds of years after
Jesus ascended. Think about that
fact for a moment. Had you known
that, you would have known
before your pastors spoke on
this spurious doctrine that
every verse
he ever used to suggest
the Apostles were part of, or
even alive during the Sabbath to
Sunday change was a bold faced
lie because it was never
suggested to be changed until
321AD which was hundreds of
years after the apostles died.
When 321AD came, only those
Christians that feared Roman
rule and failed to trust God
kept Sunday as a sabbath. The
apostate preachers of today
would have you believe the
Sabbath was changed during the
time the Bible was penned.
Historic, and biblical fact is,
they lied.
Another
undeniable fact is that if the
Sabbath was changed to Sunday
when Jesus resurrected then why
did the Bishop of Rome force
Constantine to make a Sunday
law? If the lie was true that
the Sabbath was changed 300
years prior, Constantine
wouldn't need such a law as all
the Christians would have
already been keeping it!
Sometimes the lies is just that
easy to expose!
After all is said and done, if you just read this entire page, you know that you just discovered Biblical evidence that absolutely every single verse every used to claim Sunday is the Sabbath was done so in a deceptive manner to make Scripture appear to say something it never said. Some will ask why have all the churches done such an evil act as this? In Daniel 7:25 we find it prophesied that a beast would "think to change" the Sabbath so as to get "all the world" to wonder after him as Revelation 13:3 predicts happens right before the end of the World. Look around. Do you see it fulfilled? All Christian churches now keep Sunday as Sabbath, even though you now know for a fact there is not a single verse in the Christian Bible to warrant such change as this. And in case you missed the hint as to who it is that changed the Sabbath earlier, perhaps the following quotes will help.
Notice the following documented statements of the Vatican and its prelates.
"Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change (Saturday Sabbath to Sunday) was her act... And the act is a MARK of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things." -H.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons. Nov. 11, 1895"Is not yet too late for Protestants to redeem themselves. Will they do it?... will they indeed take the written word only, the Scripture alone, as their sole authority and their sole standard? Or will they still hold the indefensible, self contradictory, and suicidal doctrine and practice of following the authority of the Catholic church and wear the SIGN of her authority? Will they keep the Sabbath of the Lord, the seventh day, according to Scripture? Or will they keep the Sunday according to the tradition of the Catholic church, - Rome's Challenge, (Why do Protestants keep Sunday?) page 31

THING...

"On every page of God's word the injunction to obedience is plainly written, and yet how often His commands are lightly regarded or wholly set aside! The command for the observance of the holy Sabbath of the Lord is placed in the very bosom of the decalogue, and is so plain that none need err as to its import, and yet it is treated with as great profanation as were the sacred vessels at the feast of Belshazzar. The condemnation of those who trample upon God's holy Sabbath will not come because they have conscientiously observed the first day of the week, but because they neglected opportunities for searching the Scriptures and learning, not what man has said, not what the ministers say, not what the fathers have said, but what saith the infinite God! What day has God specified as His holy day? What did He command men to honour when He spoke with an audible voice from Sinai? That voice is to be obeyed above every other; the edicts of kings and nations are void before a command of God. The Lord of hosts commands our obedience." -Bible Echo September 17, 1894 par. 6 |
