If you are not worshipping by the New Moon and Six-day Sabbath Observance, you do not know God/Elohim~

THE NEW MOON AND SABBATH WORSHIP OF ELOHIM, AND HIS SYSTEM FOR KEEPING TIME, ALL PROVE THAT YHWH ELOHIM NEVER CHANGES
"For I am 'the LORD' (YHWH); I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed." Malachi 3:6
Did you know that although God/Elohim is perfect in every way, perfect in wisdom, perfect in power, perfect in being, that there is something that He just cannot do? I mean, it is impossible for Elohim (God) to do this one thing.
He cannot change.
Yes, although YHWH Elohim, is The Most Glorious Being, Perfect and Flawless in every way: omnipotent in power, omniscient in wisdom, and omnipresent in being, there is one thing which He incapable of doing..
He cannot change.
The thought that YHWH Elohim can change implies that He is not perfect in wisdom, immutable in nature, and eternal in being.
This is why it is written in the Book of Hebrews, that it is impossible for God to lie:
"..in which it was impossible for God to lie.." Hebrew 6:18
Most today think that God (Elohim) has changed, not comprehending that it is impossible for God/Elohim to change. The thought that YHWH Elohim can change implies that He is not perfect in wisdom, immutable in nature, eternal in being.
It is not God/Elohim Who has changed, but belief of what the Word of God means today, that has caused people to think that YHWH Elohim changes.
It is amazing that there are so many different denominations of Christianity, when Jesus said, that He did not come to change anything: "Do not think that I am come to do away with the Towrah (Instructions) or the Naviim (prophets), I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill".
I mean, think about this for a minute.. How could Jesus, be the Son of God/Elohim, Who declared by His prophet Malachi [3:6], "I AM YHWH Elohim, I change not, therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed", come to change and restructure the worship of His Father, Who declared by His prophet Moses, that the sabbath observance, as He established in Leviticus 23, was to be connected to, and based upon His covenant being a perpetual/everlasting covenant, and His prophet Isaiah, "from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me" (perpetually)?
Here are the scriptures written by Moses and Isaiah, which prove that YHWH Elohim does not change, and the Yshua proved that He was His son, by observing the worship of His Father, on new moon days, and then six-day Sabbath observance:
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 13Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you. 14Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 15Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. 16Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. 17It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed." Exodus 31:12-17
�And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.� Isaiah 66:23
We have a very serious problem here, people, if you are knowledgeable of the Word of Elohim/God.
First, is the matter of the Julian Calendar, which along with the Gregorian Calendar, would eventually change the lunar-based sabbath observance, which is to be regarded by commandment of YHWH perpetually. How could Elohim require Moses to command [in Leviticus 23] an observance of sabbaths, based upon observing the new moon (1st day of new moonth), and then counting six days (at sundown on the 7th), and then a Sabbath (8th), and then another six days (at sundown on the 14th), and then a Sabbath (15th), and then another six days (at sundown on the 21st), and then a Sabbath (22nd), and then another six days (at sundown on the 28th), and then a Sabbath (29nd). Note, that there is no mention of a system of keeping time, here, but of a continual observance of new moons and then counting six days, a sabbath, count six days, then a sabbath, count six days, and then a sabbath.
This would make for a 360 day-year, with 12 moonths of 30 days each. Here is YHWH Elohim's calendar, which is observed from evening to evening, which is what a day is to YHWH Elohim ["And the evening and the morning were the first day]:
See, He never changes, and neither are His people to change.
I know what some of you are thinking..
You are saying to yourselves, "Oh, but there are 365 days in a year, right?" Yes, but who cares? Did not YHWH Elohim tell His people to observe a system of keeping up with time, based upon observing a new moon, and then counting six days, and then a Sabbath as recorded in Leviticus 23..?
It is the respect for this perpetual eternal covenant, which even Ha� Mashiyach observed, which proves that you are either His people, or that you are not.
Do you see, now, that you are not to be following a man-made system? Do you see now the Judaism, which (allegedly) worships on �Saturday�, which YHWH did not command, and Christianity, which (allegedly) worships on �Sunday�, which YHWH did not command, are imposters, for they represent �change�, where YHWH does not change?
In Genesis 7 & 8 we see that YHWH Elohim knew that the earth had a 360 day-year, and thus He had to have known, when He appeared to Moses and the Israelites, and commanded a perpetual cycle of worship, that the Flood had damaged the earth, so that it would take five more days to complete the orbit around the Sun.
The scripture shows you that YHWH Elohim, wanted to prove through the prophet Moses, and Isaiah, and all of His prophets, and prophetesses, that He did not change.
Let's do the math, and see that Elohim knew when He spoke through Moses, that there were originally 360 days in a year; which means that He also had to have known that upheaval to the earth's crust put a wobble in the yearly orbit, and still here He comes, in another generation, requiring of His people a continual worship based upon a continuous observance of a lunar cycle that obviously had picked up 5 days. He did not care. He wanted to show you, that He truly does not change.
Notice that in Genesis 7:11, we see that the Flood begins "in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month":
"In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened." Genesis 7:11
Now, in this verse in Genesis 8:3, we see that the waters returned from off the earth, and it took 150 days:
"And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated." Genesis 8:3
Now, let's sum it up..
In this verse in Genesis 8:4, we see that when the waters were abated, and the Ark came to rest on Mount Ararat, that it was the "the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month":
"And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.." Genesis 8:3
If it was on "the second month, the seventeenth day of the month", when the Flood began, and it lasted for 150 days, so that it was the in "the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month", that the Flood ended, then that makes for five months of 30 days each.
We do not have any group of five months in the calendar year, now, that equal to 30 days each totaling 150 days.
You have to remember here, that no one knew the history of the world, before YHWH Elohim appeared to Moses and told him to write it in the Towrah [the first five books of the Bible]. The Word of Elohim proves in and of itself, that it is indeed �The Word of the LORD�, or �DaBaR YHWH�. He proves, through His prophets, that the Babylonians were correct in their math, that the earth was 360�, and that the earth had a perfect 360� orbit of a 360 day-year, and that, as is written, He (YHWH) ended it with the Flood, but He did not change.
So, who cares that the orbit of the earth around the sun picked up 5 days. Can�t you see, that He did this purposefully so He could prove, that whereas time may change, He does not. His covenant is based upon His not changing, and His seed demonstrating that same nature in themselves.
�Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.� Ephesians 5:1

The Sabbath:
In Exodus 20:11, after Fourth Commandment is first instituted, G-d explains, "because for six days, the L-rd made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and on the seventh day, he rested; therefore, the L-rd blessed the Sabbath day and sanctified it." By resting on the seventh day and sanctifying it, we remember and acknowledge that G-d is the creator of heaven and earth and all living things. We also emulate the divine example, by refraining from work on the seventh day, as G-d did. If G-d's work can be set aside for a day of rest, how can we believe that our own work is too important to set aside temporarily?
In Deuteronomy 5:15, while Moses reiterates the Ten Commandments, he notes the second thing that we must remember on Shabbat: "remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the L-rd, your G-d brought you forth from there with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm; therefore the L-rd your G-d commanded you to observe the Sabbath day."
JEWS AND some CHRISTIANS OBSERVE THIS HOLY DAY to be in rest and enter the rest of God as a symbol of future entering the dwelling place of God through His Son Jesus.
..for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. Hebrews 4:10
I am against your heresies. God will punish you if you will not repent. Amen.

"JEWS AND some CHRISTIANS OBSERVE THIS HOLY DAY to be in rest and enter the rest of God as a symbol of future entering the dwelling place of God through His Son Jesus."...?
One of the greatest heresies of all, and the foundational heresy, is that of a woman not obey the Towrah.
What was the base sin in the Garden?
It was when the woman, who had been given to Adam, refused to obey her husband, the only one who was to "put seed into her", and she went to the Serpent, proving that he was her spiritual husband, and he did put seed into her. That seed was the seed of the fallen nature, which is not to obey the Word of the LORD.
This is the problem with women's relationships to men, they claim "an equal rights", but even the wisdom of the creation tells us that there is nothing in the creation which is equal. This is what YHWH Elohim meant when He spoke through His anointed, Yeshayahu,
"I am YHWH (not 'the LORD'), that is my name, and my glory will I not share with another, nor my praise to graven images." Is. 42:8
Everything in the world and in the universe is "qodesh" (set-apart from each other) because of this reason. You will never see to of anything that is identical, for this does demonstrate YHWH Elohim being echad, "ONE". Adam was given the Authority over the Creation, and the woman. There is nothing in the entire world which tells a man and a woman that they are "equal". The only thing which will ever be equal, in regards to a man and a woman, is the salvation which is through Y'shua Ha' Mashiyach. The doctrine of "polyarchy" [shared rule] is to be likened unto the heresy of "dualism", which is that YHWH and STN are equal in power, might, and wisdom, which is absurd. This is why no woman who seeks to "share rule" with a man, will ever know YHWH Elohim. It is only at the spirit level, that we are equal, the experiences of the man and the woman in life, are designed to never be equal. The man was made in the image and likeness of Elohim, to provide a likeness, in his union with the woman, of Elohim ruling the creation. The woman was made in the image and likeness of man, to provide a likeness, in her union with the man, of man being submitted to the Creator (Bore).
Man is to be master and woman is to submit. This is wisdom exemplified. Does this mean, that man is to be cruel and abusive to the woman, as the Taliban, heavens "no". The union of man and woman, was not given for man to be abusive to her, but to be kind and loving to her, as he would want Elohim to be kind and loving to him. Man, in his treatment of the woman, is to care for her, her soul, her flesh, her emotions, her well-being in the way he would want Elohim to do unto him. The glorious pairing of a righteous man and a righteous woman, is incomparable, for it does demonstrate Elohim and Adam. Now, if you can get "equal" of that, you need to pick up your Bible, go outside, to a park, lay it on a bench, turn and leave it, so someone who may better respect its glorious content, will perhaps pick it up and start reading.
YHWH Elohim has proven through all of the things which He did create, and through their very individual characteristics, His being their Creator: each thing of the creation has YHWH Elohim's fingerprint on it.
"He shall rule over you" Genesis 3:16
"Wives submit to your own husbands as unto the Lord (kyrios)"
Man is to be the master of this world, and when that no longer is apparent, the purpose for the creation will have reached an end.
Man not woman, was made in the image of Elohim, and as the proxy vessel of Adam, "she is to submit to him, as unto the Lord". What is interesting in these strange doctrines of Christianity, is that the Greek word for "Lord" in Ephesians 5:22, is never expounded upon; it is "kyrios". A word search of the words "Lord" and "Master", when used to refer to the mastery of Jesus Christ (Y'shua Ha' Mashiyach), are identical to the scriptures
Please do not tell me that Christianity or Judaism obey the holy day, for it was not given by itself. The New Moon and the Sabbath were given together. The Sabbath means nothing apart from the new moon. The Sabbath cannot be determined, as per Elohim's instructions, apart from the new moon:
"22For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. 23And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD." Isaiah 66:22-23
Christians nor Jews observe the lunar-based six-day sabbath, which is counted from the new moon, which is also to be a day of worship.

I was a missionairy in Israel and it is quite comical how the Orthodox Jews try to keep the OT Sabbath laws. One OT law states that you should not light a fire during the Sabbath and anyone who lights a fire on the Sabbath shall be put to death as per Exodus 35:2,3. This would of course mean that any Eskimo who lights a fire to keep from freezing to death must be put to death.
Since car motors have pistons that continually light fires the Orthodox Jews will not drive their cars on the Sabbath but the 7th Day Adventists drive cars to their churches on the Sabbath so according to OT Sabbath laws all SDA members should be put to death. A Sabbath days walk is only about 2/3rd's of a mile so you must not walk or travel over 2/3rd's of a mile on the Sabbath.{Acts 1:12}
Now in Israel most utilities burn coal which of course lights a huge fire so the Orthodox Jews turn on their lights and heaters a few minutes before the Sabbath begins??? But of course all the Jews and SDA's who do this are increasing the amount of coal utilities burn thus increasing the fires set during the Sabbath.
The last time the NT saints kept the Sabbath was the day before The resurrection of Jesus as per Luke 23:55,56. The NT saints worshipped and witnessed every day and so every day was the Lord's Day especially TODAY.
Acts 2:44-46: All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. ***EVERY DAY*** they continued to meet in the temple courts.
Hebrews 3:13: Encourage one another ***DAILY***, as long as it is called **TODAY**, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.
Colossians 2:16,17: Therefore *DO NOT LET ANYONE JUDGE YOU* by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration **OR A SABBATH DAY**!! These are a **SHADOW** of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ!!!
SOME GREAT TIPS FOR 7TH DAY ADVENTISTS WHO WANT TO KEEP THE OT SABBATH LAWS:
***If someone commits the unpardonable sin of driving their car to church on the Sabbath thus starting thousands of piston fires just drop a cyanide pill in their Communion cup!!
Remember, to keep from sinning you can always go to church on a horse and buggy!!
***If someone puts their lights or electric heater on {To keep from freezing to death} during the sabbath thus starting Utility coal burning fires just burn their house down; but wait until a minute after the Sabbath to start the fire!!!
***It would be wise to move to an area where you will not freeze to death during the winter such as South Georgia which is the same Longitude as Israel!!!
***If you live over 2/3rd's of a mile from your church or a Sabbath Days travel just come to your church a minute before the Sabbath starts {Be sure and bring a cot} since you cannot leave until a minute after the Sabbath ends. You could also stay at a friends house which is 1/3 of a mile from the church so you can go *ROUND-TRIP* on the Sabbath!!
*** If you do not want to obey the above tips you can always join another church which doesn't believe you have to obey OT Sabbath laws!!!
Galatians 2:14-16: Paul said, When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, "You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs? We who are Jews by birth and not 'Gentile sinners' know that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.!"
Galatians 2:20,21: The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"
Galatians 3:10-13: "All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written "Cursed is everyonewho does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law." Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith." The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them." Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us!
Galatians 3:23-25: "Before faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, *WE* ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE LAW!!"
Hebrews 8:8,9,13: "The time is coming." says the Lord, "when I will make a New Covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah".... By calling this Covenant "NEW", He has made the first one OBSOLETE; and what is OBSOLETE and aging will soon disappear."
Hebrews 8:6: But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which He is Mediator is SUPERIOR TO THE OLD ONE, and it is founded on better promises.
Colossians 2:16,17: Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you **EAT** or drink, or with regard to a religous festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a *SHADOW* of the things that were to come, the reality, however, is found in Christ!!!

Maria...Richard...:applause:..:applause:...:applause:...for much of what you both shared...
What was shared about the 7 day Adventists is not part of their beliefs...they hold the Sabbath which they believe is Saturday Sacred and they believe in and apply as there guide the 10 Commandments just as other DeNoms or NonDenoms do�They Worship and Study on Saturday and there is Nothing wrong with that. I�ve been to many a Pilipino service and it is Awesome how they all get together after and have a real fellowship with food�laughter and continued study for those that chose to�They also on Communion day �Wash the Feet� as Jesus did�Something I�ve not found in other DeNoms or NonDenoms�
It is the Jews (not the Orthodox) that have the problem with the Sabbath day journey (miles / distance) to travel and I�ve been told by some Jewish friends (practicing and non-practicing) most don�t Hold to it because they believe they have found a loop hole so they can get around it. They won�t tell me what it is but that it is a calculation of some sort�lol�
So as the Scripture in Col 2:16-17 says�
16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Can and is used by all DeNoms or No De-Nom�Messianic or Christian for their purpose�Example�eat meat or don�t eat meat�drink wine or I don�t drink wine�respect and celebrate the Feasts (Holy Days) or don�t�respect the New Moon (Calendar of God) or don�t� respect Saturday as Sabbath or don�t�respect Sunday as Sabbath or don�t�As long as a Believer Professes Christ is come in the flesh�they are Believing and Being in Christ�
1 John 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
How a person Worships HIM is personal and no body�s business�(IMHO that�s what this Scripture is referring to)�and the Epistle (letter) written to the Colossians is to oppose certain cults and tells how faith in Christ is Complete�Nothing needs to be added !!!�
People call many different Denoms and NonDenoms �cults��and the people of those probably call �Christians� �Messianics� by that word also�However�We all stand Firm in Yahshua ~ Jesus the Messiah and Love our enemies as HE has commanded us to Mat 5:43-44�
X < JESUS >< O � Jesus is LORD of Lords and KING of Kings !!!

Richard, Jude is correct, 7th-day Adventists only adhere to the 10 commandments, not to the ceremonial or administrative laws of the old testament. The sabbath is not "an old testament law", it's a commandment of God instituted at creation, and I hope you don't think the rest of those 10 commandments are ok to disregard.
Adventists try to keep the Sabbath like Jesus did, He is our example. Many Adventists "work" in hospitals on Sabbath(Jesus healed many people on the Sabbath), most Adventists will help you change your flat tire on Sabbath, etc. The 4th commandment is typically interpreted by Adventists to mean "not working for personal gain or taking part in purely selfish pursuits". It's about having a blessing and being a blessing. Spending peaceful time with God/family/friends, helping others, studying the bible together. It's lawful to do good on the Sabbath. As an example of how we keep the Sabbath, this last Saturday, we had bible study and church outside at a state park(yes, we all drove cars), had a fellowship dinner afterward, and spent the afternoon hiking, playing frisbee, etc. God wants us to call the Sabbath a delight, not stress about worldly cares or focusing on ourselves. The Jews looked at the Sabbath like a burden, and did not enter that true rest like God intended, but we try to enter the rest that God intended. And it's the absolute opposite of legalism and works, it's freedom from works!!
Hebrews 4
4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. 5And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. 6Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
Genesis 2
2And 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. 3And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Isaiah 58
13If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: 14Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
As for the whole cyanide thing, that's really quite offensive, maybe you're blind to how much. The best thing to do is to follow what Christ and His apostles did, I don't think anyone should be condemned for doing that. You obviously do not understand what Seventh-day Adventists believe and practice, so you can get a free pass, but I'd recommend that you educate yourself at some point.
Acts 13
42And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. 43Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. 44And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God. 45But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. 46Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
Luke 4
16And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read
Matthew 24
20But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day.
Acts 17
2And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures, 3Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ. 4And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.
1 John 2
6He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. 7Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.

Spiritlover, I'm not sure I got an answer before, but there are female prophets, so if a female prophet was sent by God to teach you something, would you listen to her? She may not be married or whatever, but she would have "Christ" as her "head", is that enough?

DHTM,
I appreciate the examples of a balanced observance of the Sabbath. Many Christians who worship on the 1st day of the week used to observe it in similar fashion. Some of us still do. :)
You particularly point out that it is a delight rather than a burden. Many of my friends and I see our observance on Sunday the same way. For many of us, it really is our favorite day of the week.

If you are not worshipping by the New Moon and Six-day Sabbath Observance, you do not know God/Elohim~

I agree that a person can observe the sabbath on Sunday, or go to church any/every day. The catch is to be fully convinced that you're doing what God would want you to do. When you come face to face with Christ, and if he asks you why you kept a day holy that was a tradition of man and replaced the day made holy by God, you should have a really good answer that shows you were convinced you were doing the right thing. That implies that you should study a lot, and not just accept the easy answers or comfortable traditions. The Sabbath isn't about going to church or worshiping God, we can do that any day, any time. The Sabbath is about about ceasing from labor like God did and like He commanded us to do. If you think that you can do that on Sunday, just make sure you're fully convinced in your own mind.
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.
2 Timothy 2
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
