Bible Study We Don't Know.....?

[Jay T]

We do not know what great interests may be at stake in the proving of God.
There is no safety except in strict obedience to the word of God.

All His promises are made upon condition of faith and obedience, and a failure to comply with His commands cuts off the fulfillment to us of the rich provisions of the Scriptures.

We should not follow impulse, nor rely on the judgment of men; we should look to the revealed will of God and walk according to His definite commandment, no matter what circumstances may surround us.

God will take care of the results; by faithfulness to His word we may in time of trial prove before men and angels that the Lord can trust us in difficult places to carry out His will, honor His name, and bless His people.

King Saul was in disfavor with God, and yet unwilling to humble his heart in penitence. What he lacked in real piety he would try to make up by his zeal in the forms of religion.

Saul was not ignorant of Israel's defeat when the ark of God was brought into the camp by Hophni and Phinehas; and yet, knowing all this, he determined to send for the sacred chest and its attendant priest. Could he by this means inspire confidence in the people, he hoped to reassemble his scattered army and give battle to the Philistines. He would now dispense with Samuel's presence and support, and thus free himself from the prophet's unwelcome criticisms and reproofs.

The Holy Spirit had been granted to Saul to enlighten his understanding and soften his heart.

He had received faithful instruction and reproof from the prophet of God. And yet how great was his perversity!
The history of Israel's first king presents a sad example of the power of early wrong habits. In his youth Saul did not love and fear God; and that impetuous spirit, not early trained to submission, was ever ready to rebel against divine authority.
Those who in their youth cherish a sacred regard for the will of God, and who faithfully perform the duties of their position, will be prepared for higher service in afterlife.

But men cannot for years pervert the powers that God has given them, and then, when they choose to change, find these powers fresh and free for an entirely opposite course.
(Patriarchs and Prophets, chapter 60, pages 621-623)

This is especially true concerning the time when the Mark of the Beast is enforced upon the Christian world.

They will find it almost impossible, to change thier course, which they have followed for so long !

Good piece.

Your ending conclusion is frightfully true.

I suspect TEists, persons who assert that the Bible and evolution are compatible (which is most of christianity) will be the masses left behind and rationalize the need of the mark to be God's will.

Hence, Darwinism will be the most useful modern day tool of Satan to kill untold hundreds of millions.

Ray Martinez[/quote:a28d4]Actually, it is the subject of the 7th day Sabbath versus Sunday ...which is the issue, when in reference to the Mark of the Beast.

And, had the Lord's day (7th day Sabbath) been observed, evolution would never, have been able to take hold of the world, as it has.

What the Bible does not say about the sabbath

What the Bible does not say about the sabbath

1. That first day worship on Sunday is a pagan worship day.
2. That Christians must keep the old Jewish sabbath.
3. That Christians are obligated to worship on any certain day.
4. That all who worship on Sunday have the mark of the beast.
5. That all who worship on Sunday sinners and are lost.
6. That Sunday worship was started by the Roman Catholic Church.
7. That Christians never held a religious service on the first day of the week (Sunday).
8. That the Ten Commandments were NOT done away when the old covenant was "abolished" and "done away" in Christ on the cross.
9. That the Lord's day is the seventh day or the old Jewish sabbath.
10. That the fourth commandment is part of the new Covenant.
11. That Christians are not to work on Saturday.
12. That the fourth commandment sabbath is not included in the "sabbaths" that were abolished on the cross as taught in Col. 2:14-17; Galatians 4:9-11; Romans 14:1-5; Ephes. 2:15.
13. That the law of Moses and the fourth commandment sabbath were for Gentiles as well as Jews.
14. That the fourth commandment sabbath was a sign between God and Gentiles as is stated of God and Israel in Exodus 31:13-17; Deut. 5:12-15; Ezekiel 20:12-13.
15. That Saturday is a holy day, the sabbath, a day of rest, a day of worship, or a day sanctified in the new Covenant.
16. That Saturday was the only day the apostles recognized as a day of rest and worship.
17. That Jesus instituted the Jewish sabbath as the worship day of the Church (the Bible says that God gave the law and spoke in "times past" to people, Hebrews 1:1,2; Romans 1:3; Acts 3:21-26; etc.) but now the voice of Jesus prevails over all other witnesses and voices.
18. The Bible does not teach that all people observed the sabbath for about about 2,500 years from creation to Exodus 16, at which time God first commanded people to keep a certain day.
19. The Bible does not teach or say hat Sunday cannot be as holy as any other day sanctified or set apart for the worship of God.
20. The Bible does not say that Christians are obligated to observe a particular day of the week as people were bound to do under the old covenant. See Romans 14:5-6; Galatians 4:9-10; Col. 2:14-17; Hebrews 4.

The conclusion to the issues of Law and Sabbath observance will ultimately be found in each person's heart. If a person does not accept the finished work of Jesus Messiah on Calvary as it relates to the Law and the penalty of sins under the Law, then they will likely continue as Law keepers. But those who receive a revelation of salvation by grace through faith will not be bound by the Old Covenant of the Law. These will embrace the New Covenant and spread its glory and majesty throughout all nations.

Re: What the Bible does not say about the sabbath

1. That first day worship on Sunday is a pagan worship day.

True !

2. That Christians must keep the old Jewish sabbath.

False !
Christians have nothing to do, with any Jewish sabbath.

It is the 7th day Sabbath (4th commandment) that Christians honor, as evidence of their love, for Jesus Christ (John 14:15).

3. That Christians are obligated to worship on any certain day.

True...Jesus Christ set the example, for us to follow.

4. That all who worship on Sunday have the mark of the beast.

False....as scripture says....when Sunday is 'enforced', then, it becomes the Mark of the Beast Revelation 13:16,17).
