    Take a day out after 6 days of work just to worship god and recognize his greatness and give praise. Saturday and Sunday is a Sabbath because it’s the day you’ve given up to god just being in his peace hence it’s the lord’s day

    Just imagine something happened and we can no longer tell the time or day(which will never happen) are you stop going to church because you don’t know which day is the special day you worship on. Well I wouldn’t because every day every time every moment belongs to god and I’m free to worship everyday and every time. The sabbath day is a gift to man. Mark 2:27 Hebrews 4:9-10

    If you have questions about whether Sabbath still stands, you have to ask yourself what your ulterior motive is for even questioning about the Sabbath. The question you need to ask yourself is, do you love God? If you love God, Sabbath shouldn't be a question, out of obedient in applying the Sabbath because you love God. Do you love God? If you do, you would love to do God's commandments. It's about the attitude of the heart.

    This teaching is another example of denomination over doctrine. The Sabbath never changed. "For the Master יהוה does no matter unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets."(Amos 3:7) Calling those who observe the Sabbath on the literal 7th day a "cult" is reckless as well. I would expect more scriptural diligence from Mr. Baucham than to just assume the Sabbath day changed to Sunday because that's what the London or Westminster confessions suggest...

      However, I do commend Mr. Baucham for preaching that the 4th Commandment is still relevant for believers today. And I do think it is great when people hold to a Sabbath, even if it is Sunday. These are fellow believers who want to obey יהוה and that is awesome! Most of us were probably in that camp at one point in our lives as well.

    Voddie is usually the more solid protestant pastor I listen to, but justifying Sunday as God's instituted Sabbath is WRONG. You are not justified in that conclusion. Sunday worship is good, but it IS NOT, nor will ever be a fulfillment of the 4th commandment/Sabbath. He rested on the 7th day and sanctified it and made it holy...not every day. He did not say, "hey heathens, Im going to give you 7 days, but Im going to let YOU play God and decide which day to rest and fellowship." The entirety of Scripture does not support your conclusion, but church tradition does (NOT GOD)
    If you claim Sunday as fulfilling Sabbath, you have declared yourself, your pastor and church TRADITION as authority over God. God rebuked the Pharisees for laying aside the commandments of God for traditions of man.
    Disobedience isnt justified.

    Showing me that I was right all along.
    Im not a sad face 7th day observer at all.
    When it says they united on the first day, was because they lived at the same place and they broke bread together, they eat together everyday, they lived in common, sold everything and lived in common at the same place in the same area, so they united every day.
    Oh my this is so funny, all along I was sure you were saying all this to convince the people of the real 7th day sabbath of the creation week. Lol

    By the way, the early church didn't meet on Sundays but on the Sabbath/Saturdays (Acts chs 13-19, more than 130+ meetings). Even the Lord himself didn't command a Sunday observance in his 40 days post resurrection stay on Earth. Ironic.

    My only complaint or concern is Jesus never said the day he rose will replace the sabbath on Saturday and make it Sunday. If your boss gives you your schedule you can’t then work any day of the week and then tell him well you had me scheduled 5 days so I just choose the 5 days I wanted.The only explanation that’s reasonable to why we worship on Sundays is the Catholic Church wanted to distance themselves from Jews. Saturday was and still is the true sabbath day. If you want to worship on Sundays that’s koo but don’t use Jesus for your reasoning if there’s not direct scripture to back it up.

    I like Pastor Vodie. One of the best teachers of the word. His teaching on Exodus series, some of the best sermons I have heard in my lifetime of church. Out of respect for him, but this interpretation of Sabath is wrong.
    My only worry is that it places a focus on the day and on the institution of church than on Christ. He states that we get blessed by obeying the day. He emphasize that missing a church on Sunday is disobedience to the command/law of God.
    We live in an era where most churches have become cults and are disconnected from the truth of God and Christ. Forcing people to the system is wrong. What if a person has to work on Sunday to provide for his family, must they now quit their job. Our rest is in Christ not on the day or an institution. Everyday belong to him, we offer ourselves to him daily not once a week.

      We will all be judge, them that are without the law, will be judged without the law and them that live with the law will be judged with the law.
      For me it is not complicated,
      All goverments and kingdom's have laws, and God has a kingdom He is THE KING of the whole creation.
      And abolishing his own law Is practically abolishing all His words.
      He did not come to abolish the law nor the prophets, but to fullfill and the word fullfill here means (cram in)
      (add more,) and there are many exemple of all this cram in that Jesus gave in the NT.
      Every one that says Jesus nailed the law to the cross with him, does not do serious studies of the word of God, and most do not even read the bible.
      And wants to keep on doing his life of sin.
      The bible is clear on that subject.
      Very clear.
      What was abolished was the old levitical rituals with the sacrifices,
      God even permited the last temple to be destroyed and has not permitted another one to be constucted.
      We are to worship the Father in spirit and in truth. WHICH IS HIS WORD.
      My words are spirit and life.
      The words of God are truth.
      Revelation 22:15 speaks of the ones that will not enter in the kingom of God, it tells us what they do that they will cause themselves to not enter.
      Now read Revelation 22:14
      Blessed they that do his commandments. they will have the right to the tree of life and may enter in through the gates into the city.
      The bibe says ( study to find yourself approved)
      1 corinth. 6:9
      Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingom of God.....keep reading.
      Read Galatians 5:19-21
      Read
      Ephesians 5:5......
      Now read revelation 14:12
      Here is the patience of the saints:
      Here they that keeps the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
      Now go read Revelation 12:17........... which keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
      Now read
      Mat.19:17-19
      Jesus said if you love me keep my commandments.
      I pray thst anyone who reads this will take the time to discover the God of Creation from the bible.
      Look at the movie God of wonders it's beautiful.

    "The Lord's Day" in scripture never says its Sunday/1st day of the week. He was "Lord of the Sabbath". God's Sabbath is His, not man's declared day.
    Jesus came "not of himself but to do the will of His father"
    God says He does not change. Christians have Jesus showing up undoing all God commanded and breaking the Sabbath. He is Lord of the Sabbath, that which God instituted!!! Using Jesus resurrection as a reason to sin against the Sabbath??!? THAT is spitting on the cross of Christ.
    The "that was for the Jews" theology that Christians love is Dual Covenant theology. Its wrong! You have set up a more palatable Jesus to git the flesh, so you wont actually have to vhange your traditions.
    This sermon had SO MUCH good, but a terrible conclusion saturated in church tradition, not biblically supported.

    The Sabbath is made for man, Not man for the sabbath. God put it in place for our benefit to form a relationship together with him and as a reminder of who God is. There is no other time in the bible that time itself has been blessed and that God himself has called people into remembrance of that time; and to set it aside... there is something very special there.. but if we as humans begin calling all days the same and calling the first day of the week 'sabbath' we are actively working against an institution that God put into existence at the moment he created time itself.. In the beginning was the word and the Word was God and the Word was with God. Jesus was always there, he was the One who told us to remember the sabbath and He is our leader and God, he is who we imitate when we call ourselves Christians and he kept the sabbath. Even in death.. Because the sabbath is the identifying mark of the true and living God.. The Creator.
    But for all my brothers and sister.. the most important thing is to get to know God for yourself. On the way to heaven we will all sing about the wonderful love of Jesus, of his mercy and grace. AMEN!!

    i might be wrong but is the sabbath day also not the seventh day of the week wich is actually Saturday. We all know Sunday is the first day of the week. If we are commanded to rest on the sabbath day which is actually a Saturday why do we insist on Sunday the first day of the week. Christ rose on the first day of the week and he is our sabbath. and we need to rest in him and him in us. The sabbath day does not change just because he rose on the first day of the week. Are we doing what Sadducee and Pharisees were doing now. Focusing on the rules instead of Christ. The rules and commandments have been fulfilled by Christ. When you follow Christ you and obey him you observe the lords day everyday....spoke too much I'm sorry.

      Because "rituals out live belief". The tradition of man has continued saturating the church practice and dishonoring the commandments of God seem justified. It is not justified. Once you come to the Truth of Scripture (not man), we are faced with a choice: obey or disobey.
      The word fulfill is like "filling up, give purpose, completeness". He now gives fullness to why you should want to obey or meaning. By using fulfill as "doing away with", as much of the church adheres to, Christ also was the fulfillment of love in Scripture, so we won't need to do that either? See how that doesn't make sense?
      The Pharisees preferred their man-made traditions over the commandments of God, just as the church does today.
      Jesus himself said "If you love me keep my commandments". We show our love to him by obeying God's commands, including the set-apart Sabbath, not disobeying and making up our own. I hope that helps.

    The word sabbath means to rest god rested on the seventh day hence the seventh day is A sabbath of god. It’s not the physical but the spirit it’s not day it’s the meaning the rest god took time to reflect on his on his completed work god is almighty he needs not to rest hence this rest is different this is being in awe of gods work being in peace just glorifying god worshiping god recognizing his sovereignty. It’s the taking of the time out just for the worshiping god. The day became holy because god rested on it so if god had rested on the sixth day it would’ve been a sabbath and holy.

[45] But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. [46] Then 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. [47] For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, That thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
