  1. You're not phrasing the question right, so i can't understand it. i think you mean to put in the word "between' since you used difference. Either way, it's bad. I don't quite get why catholics I know pray to the Mary statue when in the bible clearly states that God does not like prayers to objects/idols.

    & Actually, no one knows the actual day of sabbath. There is great debate on it because the bible doesn't clearly state the day. I don't see how it matters. As long as you accept jesus into your life and praise him on ANY day, you should be alright with him.


  2. What does God in the Person of Jesus Christ have to say about the Sabbath?

    "And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath." (Mark 2:27)

    Turning the Sabbath into an idol isn't very pleasing to God.  

  3. Forsaking the Sabbath of YHVH to specifically honor another day after the sun-god would be committing idolatry against Him.

    BTW

    2 Pet 3:8  But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

    When the 7th "day" millennium is upon His creation and His Kingdom is restored, mankind will be keeping His Sabbath. They will teach between the clean and the unclean. His people will be observing the Torah "Law" since YHVH will write it upon their hearts.

    The Sabbath in the Millennial Kingdom:

    Isa 66:22  "For just as the new heavens and the new earth Which I make will endure before Me," declares the LORD, "So your offspring and your name will endure.

    Isa 66:23  "And it shall be from new moon to new moon And from sabbath to sabbath, All mankind will come to bow down before Me," says the LORD.

    Teaching His people to discern between the clean and the unclean and sanctify His Sabbaths (Also the High Sabbaths of His "Appointed Feasts" - Leviticus 23) in the Millennial Kingdom:

    Ezek 44:23  "Moreover, they shall teach My people the difference between the holy and the profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.

    Ezek 44:24  "And in a dispute they shall take their stand to judge; they shall judge it according to My ordinances. They shall also keep My laws and My statutes in all My appointed feasts, and sanctify My sabbaths.

    Under the "new" renewed covenant the Torah will be written upon the hearts of His people:

    Heb 8:10  For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

    Heb 10:16  This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

    Heb 10:17  And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

    Sacrifices and the Levitical Priesthood restored in His Millennial Kingdom:

    Jer 33:17  "For thus says the LORD, 'David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel;

    Jer 33:18  and the Levitical priests shall never lack a man before Me to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings, and to prepare sacrifices continually.'"

    Jer 33:19  And the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,

    Jer 33:20  "Thus says the LORD, 'If you can break My covenant for the day, and My covenant for the night, so that day and night will not be at their appointed time,

    Jer 33:21  then My covenant may also be broken with David My servant that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne, and with the Levitical priests, My ministers.

    Jer 33:22  'As the host of heaven cannot be counted, and the sand of the sea cannot be measured, so I will multiply the descendants of David My servant and the Levites who minister to Me.'"

  4. Do you know what the Sabbath is or what it represents?

    The Sabbath is not simply the 7th day of the week.

    The Sabbath represents God;s rest the seventh day of creation when God rested for man not because God himself needed rest.

    This creation is not finished we have not yet reached the seventh day literally yet.

    We have by faith entered God's rest and by faith the kingdom came when Jesus came.

    Jesus returns for the thousand year Millennium it is the literal day of the lord the Sabbath.

    The Sabbath laws were to demonstrate through the law the spiritual grace that was coming through Christ it was a shadow of the coming of Christ.

    Jesus fulfilled the law. He was the Sacrifice that the Sacrifices shadowed.

    We no longer sacrifice nor do we practice the clean and unclean laws.

    These also are shadows of the coming of Christ.

    Jesus fulfilled all of the law and Christians are not under any law.

  5. Only God knows! I think there is no difference, as you long as you remember him one good way or other (good meaning while not committing a crime like murder or stealing, in his name)

  6. Another of your loaded questions.  How intellectually dishonest.

    Breaking any of the 613 points of that law made one guilty of the entirety of that covenant law.  

    Do you keep all 613 points of law? No? Then you are as guilty as the one who prays to an idol.

    If you are going to live by the old covenant, you will be judged by the old covenant.

    .

  7. Nothing. No one keeps the "Sabbath" anyway. It's really Saturday, but changed to Sunday out of Christian convenience.
