My world consists of my boys and their women in their lives. My grandchildren, who bring such joy to my life. My pets, who I adore very much and love watching them interact with each other. My hubby, Chuck, and his passion, Stampede Band. Plus, any ramblings I want to do. So, I hope you enjoy your visit into "My World" through my eyes.

The Sabbath and it's meaning

At Tom's house on Saturday there was a discussion about when the Sabbath day is. I didn't get involved in the discussion, but I took it all in and asked Chuck and my Pastor about it on Sunday at church.

My Pastor told me that the Sabbath is Saturday, but as Christians we changed it to Sunday. He said that God created the heavens and Earth in six day and rested on the seventh day. The days of the week start on a Sunday and end on the Sabbath, which is Saturday.

Here are references that I found in my book I have called
"Where To Find It In The Bible"
SABBATH

Origin of the Sabbath, Genesis 2:3, Historic observance, Exodus 12:23-30, Sabbath Day mandate, Exodus 20:08, Animal's day of rest, Exodus 23:12, Sabbath business, Nehemiah 13:16-21, Joyful Sabbath worship, Isaiah 58-13 (cev), Sabbath gate, Ezekiel 46:1, Full meaning of Sabbath, Hebrews 4:8-10


Sunday

No Sunday sales, Nehemiah 10:31; 13:16-17

Sabbath observance, Isaiah 58:13-14; Matthew 12:1-13
Day of Resurrection, Matthew 28:1 (GNB); Luke 24:1; John 20:1
Sabbath preparation, Mark 15:42

I hope this was a help if anyone else was a little confused on what day is the Sabbath day.

When I asked Chuck what day is was he said the same thing that my Pastor said and I was totally surprised that he knew it. Chuck knows a lot about the Bible from going to church for 21 years while growing up. I just wish my mind would hold all that I read in the Bible and suck it in. But it doesn't, I read and reread and it still doesn't stay.
