Who said anything in this entire forum about refraining from worshipping God on a certain day.? Don’t think Dorothy Mae or anyone else was suggesting that.

Do you think you are a better person or your faith superior because you gather on Saturday? (That is a day named after the god Saturn, by the way.) I ask because there certainly are those who gather on Saturday who think they ARE more faithful or spiritually superior to those who do not.

The Sabbath convocation was limited to once a week. The Sabbath observance itself, of course, only being once a week. The Day of Atonement and the worship associated with it was limited to once a year. And all the other Festivals with their stipulations for worship had specific restrictions for when and how you were to engage in that worship.
And then there is the matter of who could, by law, approach the Lord in worship, the law discriminating in matters of race, and sex, and physical fitness, and calling. All of these restrictions have been laid aside and out of the way because they can in no way obstruct and limit the person who has already been brought near to God in worship through Christ. That's why Paul tells us to not let people judge us in regard to the carnal elements of Mosaic worship. They simply don't apply to people already at peace with and near to God through Christ. The limitations and stipulations of the worship laws are like telling someone how and when they can take Hwy. 56 into Union City who is already in Union City.
No I actually am fully aware that I am the least of these. Thank you for your concern.

Thanks. Be aware that some in your camp feel they are better than others merely because they meet on Saturday not because they are more loving, joyful, patient, long-suffering, forgiving, etc.
I don’t meet with anyone on the Sabbath; all I was saying is that I honor the seventh day as the Lord’s day which He sanctified at creation. Why do you say “some in your camp” - what is my camp that you speak of?

The honoring Saturday as special instead of any other day of the week. Or do you mean Sunday? I mean, using "Sabbath" a Jewish word sounds superior and spiritual, but we actually do not know what day you mean. We use the words Saturday and Sunday. "Sabbath" is not an english word and most people do not know what you mean as so it does not communicate anything.
I clearly said “seventh day” in my first reply. The seventh day of the week is also known as Saturday. The first day of the week is also known as Sunday. Anyone doesn’t know what the Sabbath means doesn’t read the bible. I don’t use the word Sabbath because it sounds “superior” and “spiritual”, as you have so arrogantly asserted, but because it’s the word my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ used; both during His earthly ministry & at creation.
“Then they returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment” Luke 23:56
“So the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath” Mark 2:28
“If you turn back your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight and the holy day of the Lordhonorable; if you honor it, not going your own ways, or seeking your own pleasure, or talking idly; then you shall take delight in the Lord, and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
Isaiah 58:13-14
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” Exodus 20:8

Why not just say Saturday instead of the 7th day? We actually don't use 1st day either in our culture. We just say the names of the days of the week? And I am not arrogant. Please do not attack my character. My experience with christians who use special words not normally used in the culture actually are somewhat proud and arrogant about it.
Well, is this significant? Where is the word "7th day" in that above since that is what you like to use?
Now it ought to be said, that I personally rest on Sunday. I do not shop even though shopping is possible unless something special is up. I try to make that day a day where work is not done although I do cook if I we have planned a meal I prepare a day before. So I do honor Sunday, the day we worship God in our culture.

I have to agree with this.
Jethro Bodine

Why?
Do you feel God still requires a literal rest?
And if so, why do you think he does not require it to be done on the Day he specified that it be kept?
Just curious.
If one is advocating worshipping God only on a certain day, they are also advocating not doing it on other days.
Faulty logic.

There are millions of people who don’t read the Bible. Anyone who doesn’t realize this needs to read something in addition to the Bible if they want to reach those who don’t.

I’m curious, do you go to work on he 3rd day of the week? Do you tell others what you did on the 5th day of the week? Just wondering if your special vernacular is only used for one day of the week. Do you ask others what they did “on the 7th day” of the week instead of saying “Saturday?”
It is a love of nonbelievers that moves me to cringe when christians insist on a special language instead of using the words everyone in the culture uses.
A love of nonbelievers that moves you to cringe? I think a holy hatred for those different than you is what is truly at the root of your cringing (me & the way my language differs from yours, for example). I don’t look, act, or talk like the world because God didn’t call me to look, act, or talk like the world; in fact, this is specifically what separates those who are truly in Christ from those who aren’t (what separates the goats from the sheep). Your belief that believers are called to assimilate to modern culture in order to “reach nonbelievers” is quite concerning, in and of itself, and is a blatant contradiction to what is taught in scripture.
For it is written, "He catches the wise in their own craftiness"; and again, "The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile."
Please pardon Jethro for sharing my assumption that those on a forum that professed to be Christian would be familiar with the book that forms the entire basis for Christianity.

"The Bible says" has easily been my most effective tool in educating people about the God they don't know.

Untrue but I’m not the one calling the other nasty names.
Calling Saturday “the 7th day?”
No, I said use different strange words like calling “Saturday” the 7th day.
You failed to answer my question. Do you call the other days the 5th day of the week and so on?
