God's Holy 7th Day Sabbath in Genesis

Silver Surfer

It is the cunning of Satan that the death of Christ brought in grace to take the place of the law (2 Corinthians 11:14,15).

The death of Jesus did not change or annul or lessen in the slightest degree the law of Ten Commandments (Matthew 5:17,18).

That precious grace offered to men through a Saviour's blood establishes the law of God (Romans 3:31).

Since the fall of man, God's moral government and His grace are inseparable. They go hand in hand through all dispensations. "Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other" (Psalm 85:10).

Jesus, our Substitute, consented to bear for man the penalty of the law transgressed. He clothed His divinity with humanity and thus became the Son of man, a Saviour and Redeemer.

The very fact of the death of God's dear Son to redeem man shows the immutability of the divine law.

How easily, from the transgressor's standpoint, could God have abolished His law, thus providing a way whereby men could be saved and Christ remain in heaven!

The doctrine which teaches freedom, through grace, to break the law is a fatal delusion.

Every transgressor of God's law is a sinner, and none can be sanctified while living in known sin (1 John 3:4 & Romans 7:7).

The condescension and agony of God's dear Son were not endured to purchase for man liberty to transgress the Father's law and yet sit down with Christ in His throne.
It was that through His merits and the exercise of repentance and faith the most guilty sinner might receive pardon and obtain strength to live a life of obedience.

The sinner is not saved in his sins, but from his sins.

What Sin Is

The soul must first be convicted of sin before the sinner will feel a desire to come to Christ. "Sin is the transgression of the law" (1 John 3:4). "I had not known sin, but by the law" (Romans 7:7).

When the commandment came home to Saul's conscience, sin revived, and he died. He saw himself condemned by the law of God.

The sinner cannot be convinced of his guilt unless he understands what constitutes sin.

It is impossible for an individual to experience Bible sanctification while he holds that if he believes in Christ it is immaterial whether he obeys God's law or disobeys it.

Those who profess to keep the law of God and yet at heart are indulging in sin are condemned by the True Witness.

They claim to be rich in a knowledge of the truth; but they are not in harmony with its sacred principles.

The truth does not sanctify their lives.
God's Word declares that the professed commandment-keeper whose life contradicts his faith is blind, wretched, poor, and naked.

What is not to understand? No one denies (that I am aware of) that God established the 7th day as the 'original' sabbath (although sabbath is defined as 'a season or day of rest', we would have to recognize that the word sabbath is equatable to our english word 'holiday', and thus, there are many sabbaths, hence my use of 'original')

However, I am sure you have a deeper agenda here than merely asking if everyone recognizes that God established His 7th day as the first sabbath.

silver surfer, a.k.a. present truth, i know that you will probably read this question yet never answer it because you have never answered people's questions in the past, but here i ask anyway:

Is the only thing you talk about in any of the topics, no matter whether it has something to do with abortion or music, is it always about the sabbath and how us sunday worshippers (who are called to worship God every day of the week) are goin to hell because we dont worship on the sabbath?
