  • Yvonne given on Isaiah 41 - 3 years ago
    Hey there my name is yvonne given , and I have of late been trying to follow God's law, alot of it I do not understand. For example the sabbath the Sunday it says to do no works ect.... Dose this also mean to fast, not talk and not do well anything that brings pleasure to myself such as art or music? And can we pray to jesus but in or heads or with or mouths?, yesterday I just rested and did absolutely nothing as it says the sabbath was made for man and not man for the sabbath.... I have so meany questions on God's laws and trying to understand them I feel I need like wise counsel but its hard to trust churches and ministrys because alot of them make Monay in christ name. Hope u can help thank bk you

    The Sabbath is from Friday at sundown through Saturday at sundown. You will pick up more insights the more you study.

    You sound young. I'd listen to some Greg Laurie on YouTube or FM Radio. It's called Harvest Church. It's a young people ministry. He has sermons on YouTube.

    You will lear a lot. Emphasis is on Christian growth: not ministry expansion or book sales. Check it out

    Hello, I think what's important is to read what Jesus said and did about it. People accused Him of breaking the Sabbath, but He clarified that it's good to do good on the Sabbath. I think the original purpose was to not labor/work and to rest. That doesn't mean you stop talking, eating, using the bathroom, showering, or avoid basic responsibilities. If someone defines work as 100% of everything we do I would say such a definition would be a bit too broad and missing the original point of the Sabbath.

    Hi Adam ,how are you doing ? We are all missing you ,please come back as soon as you feel up to it .

    Adam,

    I have not been on here for a few months. I just read your post this morning asking for prayer. Praise the Lord that you are doing better. All glory to Christ our Saviour!!!

    Lol i didnt say i would not go to the bathroom or wash.

    And I did read what jesus seid, but I didn't understand it hence the reason for me asking for some wise counsel on it?

    I made a choice to not eat on a Sunday as a sacrifice to the most high.

    What I ment is what dose God mean by works.... And are we supposed to do things like we deam as luxury on the sabbath? Like art... Poetry music or do we use this day to prey, and give thanks to jesus and God.

    If we don't ask questions we don't learn.

    But thank u for attempting to er answer me.

    God bless x

    But if study the scripture with historical basis as well and most importantly with the guidance of the Holy Spirit you will discover the truth. Hope this helps.

    Now a lot of Christian are not aware of this because these days were indoctrinated into Christianity for a very, very, very loan time.
  • Nancy - In Reply - 2 years ago
    The Sun God here is a whole study on the origin of this day of worship.
  • Nancy - In Reply - 2 years ago
    That's how most Christian were introduces to observer Sunday as a day of worship. Sunday is consider to be the day to worship
  • Nancy - In Reply - 2 years ago
    This day is honored based on the Hebrew calendar, now the major back in forth of the day Sunday comes from Roman Catholic origins. In the history of Christianity changes were made by them altering of celebrated or observed days to appease Pegan relations with the Catholic Church's.

    Hi Yvonne Given I was reading Isaiah 41 full chapter when I came across this commentary Please read the book of (Deuteronomy Chapter 5 King James Version) because NIV has extracted some verses and even chapter of the Bible. Another book that will help with your question would be (Genesis Chapter 2 and Exodus Chapter 20). All these 3 books give the reason and commandment as to why we should observer the Sabbath. Now keep in mind that here and the US we follow Roman/Greek calendar.

    Adam you said it best! I agree about Sabbath it is not that trivial! Ijs Your salvation and relationship with God and his Son Jesus and living a Holy life is what is truly important.
