was the Sabbath abolished or done away
with was the Sabbath changed to Sunday
is the Sabbath any day we choose is
Jesus our Sabbath now is the Sabbath
only for the Jews it's time to unlearn
the lies
hey welcome and learn my name is Lex and
I'd like to invite you to join us each
week as we unlearn the lies and dig
deeper into the truth of God's Word now
let's get started we see in Genesis that
God created the world in six days and
rested on the seventh and when the Ten
Commandments were given on Mount Sinai
God said remember the Sabbath day by
keeping it holy six days you shall labor
and do all your work but the seventh day
is a Sabbath of the Lord your God on it
you shall not do any work neither you
nor your son nor daughter nor your male
or female servant nor any animals nor
any foreigner residing in your towns for
in six days the Lord made the heavens in
the earth and the sea and all that is in
them but he rested on the seventh day
therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath
day and made it holy God said remember
the Sabbath and then he reminded us of
creation saying that he created the
heavens and earth in six days and rested
on the seventh I think it's very
interesting that God explained the
Sabbath in this way by linking the
Sabbath to creation what this tells me
is that when we remember the Sabbath and
keep it holy we are identifying with the
God of creation
I heard someone once say don't tell me
which god you serve show me by which
commandment should keep for example the
Babylonian celebrated their holy days on
the seventh 14th 21st and twentieth days
of the month based on the new moon this
lunar Sabbath system is different from
the biblical Sabbath because it doesn't
follow a continuous seven-day cycle each
lunar month would have 29 or 30 days
which allowed for three seven-day weeks
and a final week of 9 or 10 days which
breaks the continuous seven-day cycle
likewise Buddhism follows a similar
cycle that's based on the new moon but
it's slightly different they celebrate
on the new moon full moon and the two
quarter moons in between Muslims also
have a weekly set-apart day and they
gather together Friday for
congregational prayers I find it
interesting that God said remember the
Sabbath but out of the ten commandments
that's the one most Christians have
forgotten about they say things like the
Sabbath was abolished or it was changed
to Sunday
or we can keep any day we want as long
as we have a Sabbath and some say Jesus
is our Sabbath now or the Sabbath is
only for the Jews I want to look at
these common objections that people give
concerning the Sabbath and see if they
line up with the Bible was the Sabbath
abolished or done away with listen what
Yeshua said about thinking that he came
to abolish the law do not think that I
came to abolish the law or the prophets
I did not come to abolish but to make
full for surely I say to you till heaven
and earth pass away one jot or one
tittle will by no means pass away from
the law to all is fulfilled whoever
therefore breaks one of the least of
these Commandments and teaches men to do
so shall be called least in the kingdom
of heaven but whoever does and teaches
them he shall be called great in the
kingdom of heaven
our Messiah told us not to even think
that he came to abolish the law then he
went on to explain that if we break even
the least important commandment in the
law and teach others to do the same we
will be considered the least in the
kingdom of God I would argue that the
Sabbath is not the least important
commandment in fact it's one of the most
important Commandments concerning our
worship of God and breaking the Sabbath
was punishable by death you shall keep
the Sabbath therefore for it is holy to
you everyone who profanes it shall
surely be put to death for whoever does
any work on it that person shall be cut
off from among this people work shall be
done six days but the seventh is a
sabbath of rest holy to the Lord
whoever does any work on the Sabbath day
he shall surely be put to death
Yeshua said not to even think that he
came to abolish the law not even the
least important commandment if we want
to obey our Messiah we can't even think
that the Sabbath was abolished was the
Sabbath changed to Sunday there's not
even a single verse in the entire Bible
that tells us the Sabbath was changed
from the seventh day of the week to the
first day of the week
however some Christians cite acts 20
verse 7 when Paul spoke to the sciples
on the first day of the week no on the
first day of the week when the disciples
came together to break bread Paul ready
to depart the next day spoke to them and
continued his message until midnight
notice this says nothing about changing
the Sabbath to Sunday and also notice
that it's not commanded that we have
gatherings on the first day of the week
to conclude that they had replaced the
Sabbath with sunday based on this verse
is a very weak argument because the
disciples gathered together regularly to
break bread in fact the Bible tells us
they met daily to break bread
so continuing daily with one Accord in
the temple and breaking bread from house
to house they ate their food with
gladness and simplicity of heart so if
the disciples met daily to break bread
that means this meeting on the first day
of the week was just a regular daily
fellowship time and has nothing to do
with the Sabbath
if the Bible never mentions a change
from Sabbath to Sunday then who
commanded this change the catholic
converts Catechism says which is the
Sabbath day Saturday is the Sabbath day
why do we observe Sunday instead of
Saturday we observe Sunday instead of
Saturday because the Catholic Church in
the Council of Laodicea in 83 36
transferred the solemnity from Saturday
to Sunday by what authority to the
church substitute Sunday for Saturday
the church substituted Sunday for
Saturday by the plenitude of that divine
power which Jesus Christ bestowed upon
her the Catholic Church says they change
the Sabbath the Sunday at the Council of
Laodicea in the 4th century so let's
take a look at what they said at the
council Canon 29 of the Council of
Laodicea says Christians must not Judy
eyes by resting on the Sabbath but must
work on that day rather honoring the
Lord's Day and if they can resting then
as Christians but if any shall be found
to be Judaizers let them be anathema
from Christ the Catholics like this as
the moment when the Sabbath was
officially changed to Sunday so you can
say the Sabbath was changed to Sunday
but not under biblical authority that
change was instituted by the Catholic
Church
not God this explains why Catholics keep
Sunday but why do Protestant Christians
keep Sunday ultimately it comes down to
tradition the Catholic Church kept
Sunday for so long that when the
Protestant reformers broke away from the
Catholic Church they retain many of the
deeply embedded traditions such as
Sunday worship is the Sabbath any day we
choose some people say we can choose any
day we want to be our Sabbath this idea
goes along with the previous one the
reasoning behind this is if the Sabbath
is any day we choose then we can choose
to keep it on Sunday however the Sabbath
can't be any day it must be the seventh
day we see in creation that God blessed
the seventh day then God blessed the
seventh day and
to fight it because in it he rested from
all his work which God had created and
made God gave them manna for six days
but none on the seventh day because it
was a Sabbath six days you shall gather
it but on the seventh day which is the
Sabbath there will be none see for the
Lord has given you the Sabbath therefore
he gives you on the sixth day bread for
two days let every man remain in his
place let no man go out of his place on
the seventh day the Ten Commandments
remind us that the Sabbath is a seventh
day but the seventh day is the Sabbath
of the Lord your God in it you shall do
no work you nor your son nor your
daughter nor your male servant nor your
female servant nor your cattle nor your
stranger who is within your gates and
we're also told that this seventh-day
Sabbath is a day of assembly a holy
convocation six days shall work be done
but the seventh day is a Sabbath of
solemn rest a holy convocation you shall
do no work in it it is a Sabbath of the
Lord and all your dwellings the Bible
consistently tells us the Sabbath is on
the seventh day and never even once does
it tell us we can choose which day we
want to observe the Sabbath God chose
the seventh day to be the Sabbath and
who are we to think we can change it is
Jesus our Sabbath now I've heard many
people say that Jesus replaced the
Sabbath and he is our Sabbath now so we
don't have to keep it anymore the Bible
tells us that all things were created by
Yeshua the Gospel of John says that
Yeshua is the word of God who created
all things in the beginning was the word
and the Word was with God and the Word
was God
he was in the beginning with God all
things were made through him and without
him nothing was made that was made
Paul also confirms that Yeshua created
all things for by him all things were
created that are in heaven and that are
on the earth visible and invisible
whether Thrones or dominions or
principalities or powers all things were
created through him and for him
if you schewe created all things that
means he is God and if his shoe is God
then he is the one who gave us the
Sabbath commandment remember the Sabbath
day to keep it holy for in six days the
Lord made the heavens and the earth the
sea and all that is in them and he
rested on the seventh day therefore the
Lord blessed the Sabbath day and
hallowed it now this is where their
logic gets a little fuzzy they imply
that Jesus died so that we don't have to
keep his Commandments to keep the
Sabbath others say when we trust in him
he is our Sabbath so we don't have to
keep his
commandment to keep the Sabbath do you
see how confusing this logic is he gave
us the Sabbath and he even said the
Sabbath was made for man indicating that
it is a gift to us so why would he take
that gift away from us on top of that
there's not even a single verse in the
Bible that tells us that Jesus replaces
Sabbath or became the Sabbath however
the Bible does tell us that he is the
lord of the Sabbath which means the
Sabbath belongs to him this should be
obvious since he is the creator and the
creator is the one who established the
Sabbath as a sidenote I've also heard
people say that we are supposed to
worship every day so every day is a
Sabbath
however we are told that God sanctified
the seventh day which means it is set
apart from all the other six days it's
impossible for every day to be set apart
because by definition to be set apart
means it must be separate from others
plus the premise is flawed because we
have always been expected to worship
every day but we are also expected to
rest on the Sabbath day and keep it holy
is a Sabbath only for the Jews many
people claim the Sabbath is only for the
Jews and not for the Gentiles this is
probably one of the most popular
arguments I've heard for not keeping the
Sabbath they often point to Exodus 31
where it says the Sabbath is a sign
between God and the children of Israel
therefore the children of Israel shall
keep the Sabbath to observe the Sabbath
throughout their generations as a
perpetual covenant there's a sign
between me and the children of Israel
forever for in six days the Lord made
the heavens and the earth and on the
seventh day he rested and was refreshed
this first does indeed indicate that the
Sabbath is an everlasting sign a
covenant between God and Israel but who
is Israel if you believe in the Messiah
are you not part of Israel the Bible
says we were once Gentiles when we did
not know God but now because of the
Messiah we become fellow citizens of
Israel therefore remember that you once
Gentiles in the flesh who are called the
uncircumcision by what is called the
circumcision made in the flesh by hands
that at that time you were without
Christ being aliens from the
Commonwealth of Israel and strangers
from the covenants of promise having no
hope and without God in the world but
now in Christ Jesus you who once were
far off have been brought near by the
blood of Christ now therefore you are no
longer strangers and foreigners
but fellow-citizens with the Saints and
members of the household of God the
Bible also says we have been grafted in
by faith through Yeshua and we are
children of Abraham because of our faith
don't you see the Bible is telling us
that we are Israel we are fellow
citizens and heirs of the promises we
are adopted we are grafted in we are
born again as a new person our ancestry
doesn't matter because we have become a
new creation we are no longer Gentiles
we have become part of God's people we
have become citizens of Israel also
listen to what Isaiah prophesied
concerning Gentiles keeping the Sabbath
also the sons of the foreigner who
joined themselves to the Lord to serve
him and to love the name of the Lord to
be his servants everyone who keeps from
defiling the Sabbath and holds fast to
my covenant even then I will bring to my
holy mountain and will make them joyful
in my house of prayer their burnt
offerings and their sacrifices will be
accepted on my altar for my house shall
be called a house of prayer for all
nations he's saying that the Gentiles
who want to join themselves with the
Lord to serve him and to love him should
keep the Sabbath this is the verse
Yeshua quoted when he drove out the
money changers with a whip and said my
house shall be called a house of prayer
for the nation's this verse is talking
about foreigners Gentiles being grafted
in and keeping the Sabbath so saying the
Sabbath is only for the Jews is actually
an unbiblical statement now at this
point I want to point out something that
Ezekiel said concerning the priests
ignoring the Sabbath her priests have
violated my law and profaned my holy
things they have not distinguished
between the holy and the unholy nor if
they made known the difference between
the unclean and the clean and they have
hidden their eyes from my Sabbath's so
that I am profaned among them God said
the Sabbath is a holy day in Genesis God
rested on the Sabbath and sanctified it
and in Exodus he said remember the
Sabbath day by keeping it holy we don't
want to be like those priests that
Ezekiel rebuked for hiding their eyes
from God's Sabbath we should be people
who obey God and hallow his Sabbath
