Now that the church as a whole (or the majority)
is observing sunday for worshipping, and all around
I see the faithfulness of God moving mightily answering
our prayers; should you suggest we change to saturday or
observe the sunday and worship God while doing all we should
be doing on the original Sabbath day?
Should we also call on God by El, Yahweh and Jesus as Yeshuah,
the Holy Spirit as set apart Spirit?
I want to please God with all I have but when I’m confronted
With all these evideences I’m sometimes led to wonder if all
I ever was made to believe is a sham.
Your timeous response will be greatly appreciated.
Exodus 31:12-17
First of all, thank you to anyone who stops by to read or even comment on what was written. It is so greatly appreciated. This is a comment that was received in regards to the post “The Sabbath”. Keeping the Sabbath is one of the ten commandments. We should be keeping this commandment no different than any others we should be keeping. Here is a list of a few verses about keeping God’s commandments.
Matthew 19:17
And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
John 14:15
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 14:21
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
1 John 2:3
And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
1 John 2:4
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1 John 3:22
And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his
1 John 5:2
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
1 John 5:3
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments:
There are many more verses on keeping God’s commandments. With the help of the Holy Spirit, we are to obey all of God commands. This includes keeping the Sabbath. God does often times continue to bless us when we are disobedient to His commands. This is exactly because of His faithfulness and His grace. If God commands us to do something, why do we not do it? No, we want to do it our way and try to justify it. What about someone who is committing adultery? They justify their behavior because they see God is still faithful and answering their prayers? Or what about someone who is stealing from their job? God is faithful and and answering their prayers too. What should the person who is disobeying the command to not commit adultery do? What should the person who is disobeying the command not to steal do? They both should repent. The one needs to stop stealing. The other needs to stop cheating on their spouse. They both need to walk in obedience to God’s commands. It is no different with the Sabbath. We need to repent and do what needs to be done to walk in obedience to God’s Word. James 4:17 says: So then, anyone who knows the right thing to do and fails to do it is committing a sin.
The next part is what to call God. Just like a mom is called this by her child, this mom can also be called wife. She can be called sister as well as aunt. She can be called coworker or boss but her name is let’s say Nancy. She is called all these different things but she still is Nancy. This is the same with God. Check out this site for the Hebrew names of God. http://www.hebrew4christians.com/Names_of_G-d/El/el.html . Yeshua is the original Hebrew proper name for Jesus of Nazareth. It is the most proper to call Him Yeshua, since only in the Hebrew does His name have any meaning. In Hebrew Yeshua means “Salvation. The name Jesus has no intrinsic meaning in English, except as it is known as His name in English. Typically the name of Jesus is used since this name is commonly identifies the Messiah to English speaking people. However, it has so much more meaning with Jesus being called Yeshua because it means salvation.
We should be ever learning. When God shows us something in His Word which we never saw before, or He shows us somewhere we might be in error, we need to embrace it and learn from it. The best thing to do when confronted with something different from what we believe is to get into God’s Word ourselves. Check out what the church, pastor, teacher etc who we regularly sit under is saying. Do not take what they say at face value. We are human. We can make mistakes. We need to be people of His Word. We need to dig into it ourselves instead of being spoon fed like most of us are. Not only should we be reading God’s Word for ourselves. We should be studying it for ourselves too. Most are doing neither. Just look at the state of the Church for the evidence of this.
