"It just makes no sense to me. I just really wish the churches wouldn't refer to Sunday as the Sabbath. That really bothers me. I don't even care if they gather to worship on the 1st of the week. Calling it the Sabbath is what grates on my nerves, owing to my distinctively Jewish perspective, I suppose. "
Scott asked in response:
"Melissa, What day is the sabbath?"
[quote:7bd93a032f]Scott, from a Scriptural perspective, what day is the Sabbath? This belongs in another thread, perhaps. And from a Jewish perspective there are more Sabbaths than the weekly one.[/quote:7bd93a032f]
The sabbath that is mentioned in the decalogue (the 4th), what day is that?
[quote:7bd93a032f]Remember, we don't start in the NT and read backwards. We start in the OT and read forward.[/quote:7bd93a032f]
Melissa,
Remember, I am a covenanter, we read the bible from front to back!
[quote:7bd93a032f]By the way, don't you have a Jew in your congregation to explain these things to you?[/quote:7bd93a032f]
My grandmother (Yetta Schwabbendorf) who lives across the street from me (and is 93 yrs young) would be offended by that remark!!!!:bisou:
[quote:7bd93a032f]I didn't say it. Paul started it in Romans 1:16 and repeated it several times, in his writings and his actions. "For the Jew first." He preached in synagogues before he took the gospel to the Gentiles. There were Messianic Jews in the churches. Let me challenge all you pastors who post here....WHERE IS YOUR JEW? [/quote:7bd93a032f]
I understand that the Gospel was preached in the synagogues (to the Jew first).....I don't quite follow your point.

"It is better to be divided by truth than to be united in error. It is better to speak the truth that hurts and heals, than falsehood that comforts and then kills. Let me tell you something, friend, it is not love and it is not friendship if we fail to declare the whole counsel of God. It is better to be hated for telling the truth, than to be loved for telling a lie. It is impossible to find anyone in the Bible who was a power for God who did not have enemies and was not hated. It's better to stand alone with the truth, than to be wrong with a multitude. It is better to ultimately succeed with the truth than to temporarily succeed with a lie. There is only one Gospel and Paul said, "If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed."
