EliYah's message:

HalleluYah!!
Tonite I would like to talk about the importance of "Growing in Yahweh"
Why is it that so many people become believers in Messiah for a time but soon fall away back into the same sinful condition they were in before or perhaps even worse?
For many it is because they fail to eat.
Eat?
Yes, Eat!
We must eat food if we expect out physical bodies to survive, but Yahshua the Messiah pointed out that we cannot 'live' by bread alone.

Matthew 4:4 - But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of YAHWEH.

He was quoting the Torah/Law of Yahweh here. Let's examine the context.

Deuteronomy 8:2 - And thou shalt remember all the way which YAHWEH thy Elohim led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.

Deuteronomy 8:3 - And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of YAHWEH doth man live.

It is a fact that we will endure trials and tribulations.
Yahweh wants us to know that we do not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from His mouth!

Isaiah 55:1 - Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Isaiah 55:2 - Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

We must 'eat'!!
We must take His word into our hearts and minds regularly for us to 'live'
Is this living referring only to life in this world? I believe it means 'eternal life'. Consider Yahshua's words:

Luke 10:25 - And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

Luke 10:26 - He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

Luke 10:27 - And he answering said, Thou shalt love YAHWEH thy Elohim with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

Luke 10:28 - And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

Do this and you will live. His words bring life. They teach us.
They are like seeds which bring forth good fruit:

Luke 8:11 - Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of YAHWEH.

Luke 8:12 - Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

Luke 8:13 - They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

Luke 8:14 - And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

Luke 8:15 - But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

Absorbing His word into our minds can fulfill us like nothing else
Words are very powerful.
Often our actions and mannerisms are a carbon copy of our current group of friends or those we work with.
There is wisdom in the proverb:

Proverbs 12:26 - The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.

As I have often said, Words are "spirit".
The very word "spirit" also means breath or wind.
When we are around unbelievers in our work life or have unbelievers as friends, there are subtle influences that their words can have on us
The same holds true for Yahweh's word.
However, when we read Yahweh's word we know we can put down our guard because His word is spirit, truth and life

John 6:63 - It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

This is where the keeping the sabbath is so very essential to our spiritual growth
Some might say that keeping the Sabbath is a 'jewish' thing
But the Sabbath is not Jewish
It is Yahweh's Sabbath...and all the commandments are His commandments...whether they be in old or new testament
We are to live by EVERY word that proceeds out of His mouth, not just selected parts
If we have one day out of the week that we can withdraw ourselves from the world and its influences and concentrate on keeping the day holy by worshipping, praying and studying Yahweh's word, it truly strengthens our faith and a keeps us growing spiritually
Many Christians, when asked if they believe in keeping the Ten Commandments, answer with a resounding "Yes!".
Many will even have (often excerpts) of the Ten Commandments hanging on their walls in prominent places in house.
All too often however, those ten commandments that they believe so much in keeping will stand there as a witness against them all the days of their life :(
Here is the fourth Commandment:

Exodus 20:9 - Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

Exodus 20:10 - But the seventh day is the sabbath of YAHWEH thy Elohim: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

Exodus 20:11 - For in six days YAHWEH made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore YAHWEH blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Yahweh wants all His people to rest and keep holy the Sabbath
Yet, all throughout history man has profaned the day Yahweh sanctified for rest
It was true even in the days when Isaiah was a prophet of Israel.
Yahweh told him to stand in the gates of Jerusalem and instruct the rulers and people in sabbath keeping, and rebuke them for their Sabbath desecration

Isaiah 56:1 - Thus saith YAHWEH, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.

Isaiah 56:2 - Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.

Isaiah 56:3 - Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to YAHWEH, speak, saying, YAHWEH hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.

Isaiah 56:4 - For thus saith YAHWEH unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;

Isaiah 56:5 - Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.

Isaiah 56:6 - Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to YAHWEH, to serve him, and to love the name of YAHWEH, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;

Isaiah 56:7 - Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

It was true in those days..and true today
That Yahweh wants all of creation to observe His Sabbath
And for good reason
Keeping the Sabbath is indeed not a popular thing. Yet it is one of those things which bring forth LIFE!
Sadly, we find large numbers of people reserving the seventh day Sabbath for worldly things rather than for holy things.
Many start out to work on Sabbath morning. Many others spend the day doing their dirtiest cleaning chores, attending sports activities, buying, selling and just overall ignoring the Sabbath commandment.
In the last 50 years, even keeping the sabbath on the first day (Sunday) is ignored by those who believe in keeping it. Especially on days that it is inconvenient for them.
But if we learn to obey Yahweh's word rather than spend a life walking in disobedience, we will find what a blessing His Sabbath day is!
He knows that we are flesh. He knows that we need a day...1/7th of our time in this life to grow spiritually
Doesn't Yahweh know best?
Yes He does, HalleluYah!! Yahweh well deserves that time to give special honor to Him for creating us and blessing us.
When keeping the Sabbath and reading the word of Yahweh daily becomes routine, it becomes a way of life!
Often, the keeping of the sabbath alone will keep us from falling away. The idea of breaking it becomes unthinkable because it is the way we live!
Just as it would be unthinkable to not go to work during the week, or unthinkable not to eat our own food lest we starve
Ask anyone who keeps the Sabbath the way Yahweh wants us to and they will testify that it is truly a blessing!! Most importantly, it is keeping the fourth commandment.

John 2:4 - Yahushua saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

1John 2:4 - He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

1John 2:5 - But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of YAHWEH is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.

John 14:15 - If ye love me, keep my commandments.

John 14:16 - And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

John 14:15 - If ye love me, keep my commandments.

John 14:16 - And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

John 14:17 - Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

The Holy Spirit can be quenched by breaking the Sabbath just as it is quenched by murder, adultery, idolatry or any other disobedience.
The principle is not "Give us the Comforter and then we will keep the commandments," but you must first take that step in repentance and obedience for the Spirit to do works in you.
Clearly those who use the Sabbath day as a day for pursuing worldly pleasure, work or profit are not only missing out on a true spiritual blessing that will keep our minds and bodies strong but are also quenching His Spirit which leads us into all truth.
Yahweh gives His Spirit to those who obey Him

Acts 5:32 - And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Spirit, whom Elohim hath given to them that obey him.

Truly, when we disobey the truth given to us, then Yahweh will not convict us on more truth
But when we accept and obey the truth shown us, he will guide us into more truth.
To those who choose not to obey the Sabbath commandment, I say to you that "You are truly missing out!!"
Let's ask ourselves often..What new conviction toward obedience has the Spirit revealed to me lately?
Am I growing in obedience or walking slowly toward less obedience?
Am I spending time alone with Yahweh in His word and in prayer?
Is my thought life pure?
Has there been a time where I put Yahweh on the 'back burner'?
Am I walking in total obedience to Yahweh? (Partial obedience is disobedience!)
And am I really answering these questions truthfully and honestly to myself?
These are the questions we can ask ourselves daily
We must pay particular attention to our thought life
Unrighteous thoughts lead to unrighteous temptations, unrighteous temptations lead to unrighteous acts.
We must be on guard and let spiritual things encompass our thoughts.

Philippians 4:8 - Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Watching TV, listening to the radio, surfing the internet and reading magazines are all fertile soil for unrighteous thoughts to be sown
We often do not realize the spiritual battles that are happening when we 'saw that commercial' or 'read that article'
We often do not realize that these things war against Yahweh's Spirit!!
We must be on guard!
TIME IS SHORT Brothers and Sisters!!
We don't have time to play with toys and be entertained.
We must put down our toys and pick up the armor of Yahweh!
Any works that are not eternal are waste and void...they WILL NOT profit us in Yahweh's kingdom.
Let us purge out the waste and move on in the Spirit!
Does the bride not purify herself in preparation for the bridegroom?
If Yahshua was really coming tomorrow, would you still be doing those things?
Would you not be preparing yourself!?? Beware lest we be like Sardis!

Revelations 3:1 - "And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write, `These things says He who has the seven Spirits of YAHWEH and the seven stars: "I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.

Revelations 3:2 - "Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before YAHWEH.

Revelations 3:3 - "Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you.

Therefore, be zealous and Repent of that old sin that has been strangling us for months, years... For we do not know when Yahshua will appear.
If we die 5 minutes from now then it is just the same as Him appearing 5 minutes from now!
Let's grow in Yahweh!

1Peter 1:21 - who through Him believe in YAHWEH, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in YAHWEH.

1Peter 2:1 - Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking,

1Peter 2:2 - as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,

1Peter 2:3 - if indeed you have tasted that YAHWEH is kind.

I have tasted. You have tasted.
His food is set before us, let us eat.
The Way is before us..let us grow
May Yahweh bless you all!

TrustInYHWH - original?

BrBob - BrBob what have you spilt...........whatcha mean???

Amats-Yah - we've got two invitations so far

adam - is the day as important as the concept? I truly am asking...

TrustInYHWH - what other Sabbath is there

Angel - the name of the file is "Budwaver.Exe (24643 bytes do not download it!

Gregoryahu - Is there anyone who is Ruach-filled Yahwist? and learn to rely upon Yahweh's Spirit....

Beverley - Yes the day and the concept are important

EliYah - Truly, none. Other than what man has invented

Ezeki`El - me :)

BrBob - The day is important to Yahweh

JaanK - That was a very good service EliYah! :)

EliYah - The day and the concept are both important

EliYah - He sanctified the day

IceDove - thankyou for the message today EliYah

adam - but did HE have a calendar?

TrustInYHWH - Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath

IceDove - goodbye

JaanK - It is a good idea not to download any unknown *.exe files of the internet

Stewy - The Sabbath is the Seal of God.

Berean - Shalom Aleichem IceDove

TrustInYHWH - \o/ Praise Yahweh!!! \o/

BrBob - Bye sis

EliYah - Glad to share, Icedove...bye for now

Stewy - Sabbath breaking is the mark of the beast.

BrBob - Could be stewy

TrustInYHWH - JaanK: yes it is, but it's a better idea to use antivirus software

Stewy - I have no doubt it is :)

Al - n squares code before your Sabbath peace message

Ebed - +exod 31 16-17

Gregoryahu - what happen?

Amats-Yah - yes that's what I heard

BroJaan - Hi Angel!

Berean - +ex 13 9

Al - anybody else get that?

Berean - no

EliYah - Yes, that is colors if you have a special program, Al

BroJaan - Yah Bless you, Angel!

Angel - Jaan are you receiving my messages?

IceDove - bye bye and have a good sabbath

BrTom - Yahweh set the Sabbath aside for His purposes. Nothing any man can do can make that time not dedicated.

IceDove - :)

BroJaan - I'm not receiving any messages from you

adam - what do you mean, BrTom?

TrustInYHWH - Yahweh set it aside for us

Al - o.k. thank you

TrustInYHWH - Yahweh needs no Sabbath.

adam - I am asking if a setting aside of Sunday is the same as a setting aside of Saturday...

BrBob - I see what you mean Al, sorry for the jibberish.....

TrustInYHWH - adam, Yahweh designated the 7th day as the Sabbath

EliYah - It's different because Yahweh didn't sanctify the 1st day of the week

Stewy - It's the difference between agreement with anti-christ and an agreement with Yahweh.

TrustInYHWH - Saturday is defined as the 7th day

BrBob - true

BrTom - No matter what any church or person says about it or what time they want to keep, The Seventh Day is still YAHWEH's Sabbath.

BrBob - \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ - HALLELUYAH - \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/

BrBob - ================ PRAISE YAHWEH!! ================

BroJaan - You know I was reading the Catholic Catacism

TrustInYHWH - although Saturday is a Roman term I believe

adam - Stewy, I certainly don't want to do that...but you repeatedly say that these days are Yahweh's days but then you use a Jewish calendar, no?

BroJaan - In the Catacism, it says Saturday is the Sabbath

Muzz1 - Shabbat shalom Beverley and everyone! ...from down-under in aussieland!!

EliYah - Genesis 2:2 - And on the seventh day Elohim ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

Berean - (Exo 31:13 KJV) Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am YHWH that doth sanctify you.

EliYah - Genesis 2:3 - And Elohim blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which Elohim created and made.

TrustInYHWH - the Pope is trying to change that

Beverley - Shalom Muzzi

Ebed - +prov 14:12

Stewy - No. I use a Gregorian calendar.

TrustInYHWH - Make Sunday official Sabbath around the world.

BrBob - !¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡ Shalom! Muzz1 !!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!!

EliYah - he won't succedd

EliYah - Succeed

adam - I guess I find confusion in attaching significance to any day as the 7th..by what standard is the question...God never said he finished on Friday ""

TrustInYHWH - Christians won't care

adam - you are Christians, no?

BrTom - The calendar the Jews use is close to Yahweh's calendar.

TrustInYHWH - He said he finished on the 6th day

adam - yes, but the Jewish calendar was not in existence then...

Ezeki`El - Christianity was a Jewish sect

EliYah - In the New Testament, the first day of the week is called "The first (day) of the week" but the 7th day of the week is called the "Sabbath day"

Ezeki`El - due to a church i wont mention, it's become a wholly new and distinct religion

TrustInYHWH - Zeek: sshhhh, don't say that too loudly

adam - oh, and forgive me if I sound authoritarian...I ask all for a sincere answer to things I don't know...

Berean - (Exo 31:17 KJV) It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days YHWH made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

TrustInYHWH - Sabbath means "rest", right?

EliYah - Yes, tiy

Ezeki`El - hehe

Beverley - YHWH's calendar was created that first week.

TrustInYHWH - what do you mean the jewish calendar is "close" to Yahweh's?

BrTom - Sabbath is from the Hebrew for seventh, I believe.

adam - I am asking, if I work Monday thru Friday...that is 5 days...Saturday is the sixth, Sunday becomes the seventh and I fast and pray all day...is that NOT keeping of the sabbath...I know you will answer "NO" because you believe Saturday to be distinct...

adam - are we keeping the sabbath or Saturday?

EliYah - It's keeping A Sabbath but it's not keeping THE Sabbath

waz - with the sabbath thing how does Rom 14:5-8 fit in. That's the verse whic talks about different opinions regarding holy days

BrTom - Sabbath

TrustInYHWH - adam, Webster's dictionary defines Saturday as the 7th day

BrBob - due to a church i wont mention, it's become a wholly new and distinct religion.....What WWCoG?

Stewy - World Wide Church of God?

EliYah - I have a study on that, waz... http://eliyah.com/romans14.html

Ezeki`El - Firing up the 'ol Web Browser

BrBob - Ah so

man - +heb 4 9 10

Stewy - I heard they fell away

BrBob - I was one of them....

man - +heb 4 9

Stewy - What are you now?

adam - test

BrBob - What religion am I? ... I am a non-Jewish, Messianic worshiper of YAHWEH the Father, and a follower of his son YAHSHUA.

adam - djfkd

Stewy - But are you a member of a church?

BrBob - How's that

Ezeki`El - can i ask a question?

EliYah - yes, eze

Stewy - Sorry, I meant an organized part of the body

adam - sorry, I got booted...

Ezeki`El - during the OT, what were Gentiles/Goyim who worshipped YHWH called?

BrBob - I'm part of this one.... http://www.cyberramp.net/~dlmartin/

Ezeki`El - Firing up the 'ol Web Browser

DelaYah - proselytes

BrBob - Goard head

Berean - Grafted

Ezeki`El - is that good or bad connotation?

TrustInYHWH - Shabbat Shalom all!!

BroJaan - As I was saying, the Roman Catholic Catacism acknowledges Saturday as the Sabbath

TrustInYHWH - HalleluYah!! \o/ HalleluYahweh!!

BrBob - hehe

Ezeki`El - NIghtey-night Trust :)

Stewy - Are there a group of believers near you?

adam - what do you mean, BroJaan...is that to solidify Saturday as the sabbath?

EliYah - Stranger, foreigner. They were part of Israel in Yahweh's eyes.

EliYah - Exodus 12:49 - One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.

BroJaan - And the Roman Catholic Catacism however instructs us to worship and keep Sunday

BroJaan - By what authority?

BroJaan - By the authority of the church

adam - hmmm...seems contradictory, yes?

Stewy - The Pope's authority.

BroJaan - Right

Ebed - +prov 14:12

Ezeki`El - i think the ones with the strongest convictions became Gerim/converts and eventually their children were "Jews"

Ezeki`El - correct me if im wrong

BrBob - Are there a group of believers near you?......Yes in Irving Tx, Berean, Ebed and I attend together

BroJaan - It was the Catholic church that changed the day of rest from the Sabbath to Sunday, not the early church

Al - Chanak is that indian

Stewy - Satan's church.

adam - so to keep Sunday as the sabbath...to hallow that day as the 1/7th rest of one's week is sinning?

EliYah - The Catholics would go around and destroy anyone keeping the 7th day as a Sabbath

EliYah - Calling them Jewish heretics

Stewy - Ever heard of the inquisition?

Beverley - Adam the answer is yes

Berean - YHWH set the 7th day apart adam

Berean - we do not have that authority

adam - why hasn't Yahweh convicted so many Christians of this?

EliYah - If everyone kept a different Sabbath day..Yahweh's people Could never congregate..there would be confusion

Beverley - transgressing YHWH's law is sin

EliYah - Adam, He has

Ebed - +rev 12 9

Stewy - Rev 12:17

Beverley - one of His commandments is to keep the Sabbath --7th day

EliYah - Revelations 12:9 - So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

EliYah - Revelations 12:17 - And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of YAHWEH and have the testimony of Yahushua the Messiah.

Al - That is a good question adam

adam - yes, it is a good question...

Stewy - So isn't that the mark of the beast? Sunday keeping that is.

EliYah - He has convicted many...but how many are willing to go and do what is different?

adam - Am I to believe that those who have encouraged me to worship Jesus Christ above all other names...Jesus Christ being one with the Father...to be in the service of Satan to encourage me to worship in spirit and in truth on Sunday?

Ebed - +prov 14:12

EliYah - The way is narrow...not broad

Beverley - Sunday is not the 7th day. It is the first. It was not set apart bny YHWH

adam - yes, but how can God convict men of the sins of impurity, pride, deceit, and not of Saturday as the Sabbath?

Stewy - Jesus Christ is simply Greek for Yahshua/Messiah.

Al - we are in the midst of a bloody warfare, spiritual war that is

Amats-Yah - Shabbat shalom Chanak :)

EliYah - Because those things are taught as sin by almost everyone

adam - Again, thank you for talking...I don't mean to be divisive...I thank you all so much for letting me in here..

EliYah - But other things...typically any commandment having to do with worshiping Yahweh is ignored

adam - You have perhaps never lived life in my shoes...

EliYah - We appreciate your questions, adam

BrTom - {{{{{{{{{{{{adam}}}}}}}}}}}}

Beverley - You would be surprised how many here have lived in your shoes

adam - It is as foreign to me to think of Saturday as "church" day as it is for you to think of Sunday as "church"..."Sabbath" day...

BrBob - {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ adam }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Stewy - Adam, we are all sinners in need of repentance.

BrBob - (:Ï:) (:Ï:)(:Ï:) (:Ï:) Love Bug Hugs !!

Ezeki`El - :)

Muzz1 - and shoes that you have not lived in too Adam.... :)

Beverley - I was raised to think Sunday was the Sabbath also

adam - Yes, He has been so merciful to me!!!

BrTom - Been there, done that, sorry.

BrBob - l «*» l adam l «*» l

Stewy - As for the Pope, Daniel 7:25

EliYah - Adam can't see the colors on the website

adam - I want to know this...I want nothing to keep me from HIM...no, I can't see the colors and many messages come to me in computer language, not words...

Beverley - Adam, we each sin, but as we learn what those sins are we must repent

Stewy - Dan 7:25

EliYah - Adam, there is a narrower path than the mainstream...

adam - for instance, BrBob's last message...

Beverley - what about it

EliYah - The chat program on the web page doesn't see the colors

adam - oh, I can't read what Brbob said...

Al - I have seen the organization chart and splits of adventists(both Sunday and this seventh day) Cof God/YHWH

Ebed - http://www2.andrews.edu/~samuele/books/sabbath_to_sunday/ if you want to read the story of how the day got changed

Ezeki`El - Firing up the 'ol Web Browser

adam - God said to us that he was concerned about a circumcision of the heart...

Al - a bloody mess is my reaction

EliYah - Yes, our heart must be pure

EliYah - A pure heart will seek and love the truth..to worship the way the disciples did and taught

EliYah - To be like Yahshua who kept the Sabbath on the day Yahweh sanctified

adam - and in keeping the sabbath...in holding Sunday apart from the rest of my week, do I NOT worship HIM in heart? Is there enough solid evidence to firmly place the Sabbath on a particular day of the week?

Beverley - YHWH has always desired a circumcised heart

BrBob - Sorry y'all for the jibberish

Muzz1 - +John 14 23

EliYah - The question should always be..what did Yahshua do?

Stewy - Adam when do you work?

BrTom - Sat?

adam - monday thru friday..sometimes on Saturday..sometimes on Sunday...I am a doctor...

DelaYah - +exo 31 16

Amats-Yah - = isa 8 20

Stewy - Can't be covered on Saturday?

DelaYah - +gen 2 2 3

BrTom - Following Yahshua's example is vital.

BroJaan - I know a doctor who keeps the Sabbath

DelaYah - He said it

Ebed - +luk 6 9

EliYah - Are there any prayer requests?

DelaYah - It surprises people when you tell them you can't work on Saturday

adam - you guys continually refer to scripture which says the "seventh" day...but then you reference this day with something particular to the Jews...that Saturday is the seventh day...I am wondering if THAT arguement is God's argument or the Jew'

adam - Jew's argument...

DelaYah - they almost "never" such a thing

DelaYah - hear such a thing

adam - sorry, Berean...I couldn't hear your wv

Stewy - The Sabbath is the only day Yahweh actually named. All the others were numbered.

BrBob - What do the Jew's have to do with the Sabbath, other than they observe it too?

BrTom - One thing the Jews have done is counted to seven every week.

EliYah - Adam, although the calandars have been altered, the 7 day cycle hasn't changed since the days of the Messiah Yahshua

adam - he named it "saturday"?

Berean - if you have, or get an irc program, you can

Muzz1 - Luke the writer of the gospel of Luke and Acts was a doctor... in fact he was a physician... and he kept the sabbath

adam - exactly, EliYah...THAT is my question...if I keep the cycle, am I keeping the Sabbath?

Stewy - No. Gentiles in their pagan ignorance named it Saturday.

adam - thanks, Berean, I will look into it...

EliYah - If you are on HIS timing, yes

adam - what do you mean, Eliyah?

Al - the gates of hell may not prevail but they sure are a knock'n

EliYah - He is the one who started the cycle

Berean - i have found pIRCh to be quite user friendly

BrBob - Not as much as you think al.

BrBob - Al

adam - I hope I am not perceived to be the gates of Hell..sorry , if so...

EliYah - No adam..

adam - that looks neat, Brother bob...can't read it, however...

BrBob - have some fish

adam - oh, yes...now I S

adam - see!!

Stewy - Do the deceived know they're deceived?

BrBob - hehe

BrBob - Praise Yahweh!

adam - no, Stewy...they don't...

BrTom - No, adam, seems like you're on the road to righteousness.

BrBob - ><((((º>

adam - I definitely hunger and thirst after it!

EliYah - HalleluYah!!

Beverley - Praise YHWH

Stewy - Being raised a Baptist I was deceived for more than half my life! Actually, longer than that.

BrBob - ><((((º>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~%

EliYah - If we do what Yahshua did..we can't go wrong

Joel - had a little fun

adam - but will HE HIMSELF not convict me of sin?

BrBob - {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ Stewy }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

BrTom - Keeping Sabbath is a great blessing for us. For all mankind!

adam - and when HE blesses me...as I keep Sunday pure to HIM...am I being deceived by Satan?

Beverley - If you listen to waht He says in Scripture

Stewy - Adam - Why do you think you are here?

DelaYah - Shabbat Shalom all

DelaYah - YHWH bless you

BrTom - Yep

Ebed - +1pet 2 21

adam - I am here because Eliyah invited me...

Ebed - +luke 4 16

Stewy - Yes Adam.

adam - I only wonder if Jesus Himself did not show a proper perspective for the Sabbath...a little different than you guys are expressing...

Muzz1 - +Exodus 31 13

Stewy - He kept it perfectly. As He did all the law. That's why He was blameless.

Beverley - But Adam it was your choice to come. You chose

EliYah - Adam, if the whole world kept the Sabbath on Saturday..would you observe it on Sunday?

adam - no, Eliyah...I wouldn't probably...never thought about it that way before...

EliYah - Traditions cloud the truths in scripture all too often

adam - didn't Christ do things on the Sabbath that got scorn from those who kept the letter of the law?

BrTom - No

adam - didn't He heal a man on the Sabbath?

Stewy - Exodus 31:13 - The Seal of God, as spoken in Revelation.

EliYah - That is not against Yahweh's Sabbath to heal

Ebed - that's not agaist the sabbath law

adam - and what is the conversation about pulling an ox out of a ditch on the Sabbath...

HezkiYahu - That is not a Torah prohibition.

BrTom - He got in trouble for crossing their traditions.

Stewy - Christ was also concerned with the spirit of the law.

EliYah - The pharisees/scribes added over 1000 laws to the Sabbath

adam - now that gets closer to the heart, Stewy...

EliYah - It is good to save a life on the Sabbath

EliYah - Always was

Beverley - BBing-o traditions

BrBob - wow

adam - so...if I were to suddenly begin to set Saturday aside, how would I convince those around me that I did so on a sound basis?

HezkiYahu - By the Torah.

Stewy - Read the Sermon on the Mount and bear in mind Yahshua's true interpretation of the law.

BrTom - Yahshua pointed out some common sense which is not foreign to Yahweh.

EliYah - Have you read the Sabbath study on the web site, adam?

HezkiYahu - By the Scripture.

adam - with a world obviously nearing terrible times, is the Sabbath a cornerstone issue?

adam - no, Eliyah...is it on your page?

EliYah - Yes,

Ebed - +matt 15 8 9

EliYah - http://eliyah.com/sabbath.htm

Ezeki`El - Firing up the 'ol Web Browser

Stewy - Romans 7:12

Muzz1 - why do you have to convince others? It is your own life... none of their business

HezkiYahu - +Rom 7 12

BrTom - I believe Sabbath is critical because it is called a sign between Yahweh and His people.

adam - yes, Muzzi...I agree...I also believe that I must have an answer to give to those who would ask me of the hope that is in me...

HezkiYahu - +Psa 119 50

adam - amen, Watchman...

BrTom - You're right adam

HezkiYahu - oops

HezkiYahu - +Psa 119 51

BrTom - Some of those love you, right?

Stewy - Yeah, the sign talked of in Revelation. And without the sign or seal of God, you will have the MARK OF THE BEAST!

HezkiYahu - +Psa 119 53

Muzz1 - fair enough... there are many scriptures that u can turn to to prove the sabbath

adam - yes, yes, BrTom...

BrTom - And you love them.

adam - yes, the concept of the Sabbath...but the Day is what I am quesitoning...

Muzz1 - but it is unlikely that they will want to know from these scriptures about the sabbath

BrTom - The Jews have kept count.

adam - we are to be a sanctified, "peculiar" people...but being peculiar just to be peculiar is human pride...

BrTom - Sat is the right day.

Muzz1 - most people reject the words of Yahweh these days... and we need to be discrete at times

Stewy - The Jews know they are Jews because they never lost sight of the Sabbath. The House of Israel lost sight of the Sabbath and became lost to history.

HezkiYahu - The melleniuum is the Shabbat. Six days was the world created. The seventh day He rested.

BrTom - peculiar = special

adam - peculiar...set apart...

Beverley - Adam you are right pride goth before a fall

Muzz1 - not creating more unnecessary trouble for ourselves

BrTom - yep

adam - I am on my face before God...I am as a beast before HIM...let God be true and everyman a liar...I only want the truth here...I will ask for HIS conviction on this matter...

Beverley - Praise YHWH

Ebed - http://www.gentle.org/jgsellers/feature%20articles/article33.htm

Ezeki`El - Firing up the 'ol Web Browser

EliYah - I trust that Yahweh will guide one in truth who has walked in the truth given

EliYah - Are there any prayer requests?
