Seventh Day Baptists are Saturday Baptists. The Sabbath is not just the hour we are in church service but it is the whole day of Saturday. Maybe you should meditate, read the scriptures that pertain to the Sabbath to fully understand. In Genesis chapter one, God created the Earth. Today we are not going to debate the Creation of God and the science of evolution. Today we need to look at: God is the Creator, see the Power of God’s Word and see the boundaries of His Creation. The Day & Night and the Sun & Moon boundaries. At the end, God was very satisfied with what He had made. He said it was good and very good.
In our scripture, it says that God completed His work. He completed it, He topped it off like when filling up car gas. There was no more room for creation and it was done, completed. The Seventh day is the 7th day, not the 3rd day or the 5th day. We are talking about the seventh day and not the 1st day. If we are talking about the 7th day then we are not talking about No day or Any day. We are talking about the Seventh day.
The seventh day was created by God and He did nothing on this day but rest, bless and sanctify the 7th day. This is the reality of our Seventh day. In Genesis it does not give the Seventh day any boundaries, evening or morning. Its eternal and we should enter into the rest of God every day. In our Genesis text, the word Sabbath does not appear but it does appear in Exodus 20:8-10. It says God created the Earth in six days and the seventh day is the Sabbath, the day that God rested. In the Genesis text when it says God rested, was God tired or worn out? No! He rested because He had ceased the work of creation. A mechanic working on cars knows what it is to cease from working. An office worker shuffling papers knows what it is to cease from working. God ceased working because the creation week was completed. God rested from creating but was continuing to keep the universe running. In the book of Colossians it say God keeps everything together.
1) God Rested on the Sabbath: After God created a place for his people, Adam & Eve, He rested. He had created a place of worship for them and when God had completed it, He then rested.
2) God Blessed the Sabbath: He made the Sabbath happy. God happytized it and made it wonderful and beautiful. If the Sabbath is not happytized in your life then it’s on you to change that.
3) God Sanctified the Sabbath: He made it separate and sacred. It was more than a mundane, secular or ordinary day. It is set apart and sanctified. If it is not that to us then it’s not God’s fault.
God gave us a model to follow in that He himself rested on the Sabbath. We are to believe that it is a Blessed and Holy day from God. The Sabbath is a gift from God.

Pastor Ken's quotes regarding the Old Testament Sabbath:
God Blessed the Sabbath: He made the Sabbath happy. God happytized it and made it wonderful and beautiful. If the Sabbath is not happytized in your life then it’s on you to change that.
God Sanctified the Sabbath: He made it separate and sacred. It was more than a mundane, secular or ordinary day. It is set apart and sanctified. If it is not that to us then it’s not God’s fault.
God gave us a model to follow in that He himself rested on the Sabbath. We are to believe that it is a Blessed and Holy day from God. The Sabbath is a gift from God.
Old Testament Sabbath laws:
Exodus 31:14-16: Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it is to be put to death; those who do **ANY WORK** on that day must be **CUT OFF** from their people... Whoever does **ANY WORK** on the Sabbath day is to be **PUT TO DEATH**!
Exodus 35:2,3; Whoever does **ANY WORK** on the Sabbath must be **PUT TO DEATH**. Do not **LIGHT A FIRE** in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.
What are the New Testament Sabbath laws??:
Galatians 4:9,10: How is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable principles? Do you want to be enslaved by them all over again? You are observing **SPECIAL DAYS** and months and seasons and years. I fear for you. that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you!!
Colossians 2:16,17: Do dot let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard a special 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**!!
In the New Testament **EVERY DAY** is the **LORD'S DAY** especially **TODAY**!!
Acts 2:44-46: All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to everyone who had need. **EVERY DAY** they continued to meet together!!
Hebrews 3:12,13: See to it brothers and sisters that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But **ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER **DAILY**, as long as it is called **TODAY** so that none of you may be hardened by sins deceitfulness!
Matthew 12:1-12: Jesus went through the grain fields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain and eat them. When the Pharisees saw this, the said to Him, "Look your disciples are doing what is **UNLAWFUL ON THE SABBATH**. Jesus answered, "Haven't you heard of what David did when he and his companions were hungry? He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread--which was not lawful for them to do, but only for the priests... If you had known what these words mean, 'I desire mercy not sacrifice, you would not have condemned the innocent. For the Son of Man is **LORD OF THE SABBATH**!" Going from that place, Jesus went into their synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Looking for a reason to being charges against Jesus, they asked Him, "IS IT LAWFUL TO HEAL ON THE SABBATH?" Jesus said to the, "If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath?" Jesus said to them, "If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out? Therefore it is lawful to do good {*WORK*} on the Sabbath!"
John 5:16-18: So because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute Him. In his defense Jesus said to them. "My Father is always at His work to this very day, and **I TOO AM **WORKING**!" For this reason they tried all the more to kill Him; not only was **HE BREAKING THE SABBATH**, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.
John 9:16: The Pharisees said of Jesus, "This man is not from God , for He does **NOT KEEP THE SABBATH**!"
I Corinthians 9:21: I am under **CHRIST'S LAW**!!
Galatians 6:2: Fulfill the **LAW OF CHRIST**!!
Galatians 3:23-25: "Before faith came, we were held prisoners by the {**OT**} 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 {**OT**} LAW!!"
*WE* ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE LAW!!
Galatians 2:14-16,20,21; 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 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 everyone who 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 7:18,19: The former regulation is SET ASIDE because it was **WEAK AND USELESS**; for the law made nothing perfect, and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.!
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 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!!!

prophetic7744 do you believe the following words in John 1:1-4,18 below were inspired by God??? Why do you refuse to answer this simple question??
John 1:1-4, 18: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the **WORD WAS GOD**! He was with God in the beginning . Through **HIM** all things were made, without **HIM** nothing was made that had been made. In **HIM** was **LIFE**, and that **LIFE** was the **LIGHT OF ALL MANKIND**... No one has ever seen God but the **ONE** and only Son, **WHO IS HIMSELF GOD** and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made Him known!!
Hebrews 9:22; 26-28: The law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood **THERE IS NO FORGIVENESS**.... But now He has appeared **ONCE FOR ALL** at the end of the ages to do away with sin **BY THE SACRIFICE OF HIMSELF**!! Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, and Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people, and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him!!
Ephesians 2:8-10: For it is by **GRACE** you have been saved, and this is **NOT FROM YOURSELVES**, it is the **GIFT OF GOD**--**NOT BY WORKS** so that no one can boast. For we are **GOD's HANDIWORK**, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do!
God's **BORN FROM ABOVE** saints can earn countless **ETERNAL REWARDS** for faithful and loving serve in teaching and keeping God's New Testament commands.
Matthew 16:27: Jesus says, "For the Son of Man is going to come in His Father's glory with His angels, and **THEN**He will **REWARD**each person according to what they have done!"
**And so prohetic7744 do not believe that Jesus is God.
**prophetic7744 do not believe that the book of John is **NOT INSPIRED BY GOD ** especially John 1:1-4,18!!
**Since prophetic do not believe **JESUS IS GOD** then the blood of Jesus can not make**ATONEMENT FOR OUR SINS**!!
**prophetic7744 does not believe Ephesians 2:8-10 is inspired by God!!
**And so prophetic7744 deny every important doctrine in the New Testament. However prophetic7744 is much more clever in not admitting that he believes all these extremely Satanic doctrines!!
