Christianity Etc100 Amazing Facts About The Sabbath And Sunday by Divinenwa(op): 7:42am On Aug 22, 2020
WHY keep the Sabbath day? What is the object of the Sabbath? Who made it? When was it made, and for whom? Which day is the true Sabbath? Many keep the first day of the week, or Sunday. What Bible authority have they for this? Some keep the seventh day, or Saturday. What Scripture have they for that? Here are the facts about both days, as plainly stated in the Word of God: 1. After working the first six days of the week in creating this earth, the great God rested on the seventh day. (Genesis 2:1.3.) 2. This stamped that day as God's rest day, or Sabbath day, as Sabbath day means rest day. To illustrate: When a person is born on a certain day, that day thus becomes his birthday. So when God rested upon the seventh day, that day became His rest, or Sabbath, day. 3. Therefore the seventh day must always be God's Sabbath day. Can you change your birthday from the day on which you were born to one on which you were not born? No. Neither can you change God's rest day to a day on which He did not rest. Hence the seventh day is still God's Sabbath day. 4. The Creator blessed the seventh day. (Genesis 2:3.) 5. He sanctified the seventh day. (Exodus 20:11.) 6. He made it the Sabbath day in the Garden of Eden. (Genesis 2:1-3.) 7. It was made before the fall; hence it is not a type; for types were not introduced till after the fall. 8. Jesus says it was made for man (Mark 2:27), that is, for the race, as the word man is here unlimited; hence, for the Gentile as well as for the Jew. 9. It is a memorial of creation. (Exodus 20:11; 31:17.) Every time we rest upon the seventh day, as God did at creation, we commemorate that grand event. 10. It was given to Adam, the head of the human race. (Mark 2:27; Genesis 2:1-3.) 11. Hence through him, as our representative, to all nations. (Acts 17:26.) 12. It is' not a Jewish institution, for it was made 2,300 years before ever there was a Jew. 13. The Bible never calls it the Jewish Sabbath, but always "the Sabbath of the Lord thy God." Men should be cautious how they stigmatize God's holy rest day. 14. Evident reference is made to the Sabbath and the seven-day week all, through the patriarchal age. (Genesis 2:l-3; 8:10,12; 29:27,28.etc.) 15. It was a part of God's law before Sinai. (Exodus 16:4, 27-29.) 16. Then God placed it in the heart of His moral law. (Exodus 20:1-17.) Why did He place it there if it was not like the other nine precepts, which all admit to be immutable? 17. The seventh-day Sabbath was commanded by the voice of the living God. (Deuteronomy 4:12,13.) 18. Then He wrote the commandment with His own finger. (Exodus 31:18.) 19. He engraved it in the enduring stone, indicating its imperishable nature. (Deuteronomy 5:22.) 20. It was sacredly preserved in the ark in the holy of holies. (Deuteronomy 10:1-5.) 21. God forbade work upon the Sabbath, even in the most hurrying times. (Exodus 34:21.) 22. God destroyed the Israelites in the wilderness because they profaned the Sabbath. (Ezekiel 20:12, 13.) 23. It is the sign of the true God, by which we are to know Him from false gods. (Ezekiel 20:20.) 24. God promised that Jerusalem should stand forever if the Jews would keep the Sabbath (Jeremiah 17:24, 25.) 25. He sent them into the Babylonish captivity for breaking it. (Nehemiah 13:18.) 26. He destroyed Jerusalem for its violation. (Jeremiah 17:27.) 27. God has pronounced a special blessing on all the Gentiles who will keep it. (Isaiah 56:6, 7.) 28. This is in the prophecy, which refers wholly to the Christian dispensation. (See Isaiah 56.) 29. God has promised to bless all who keep the Sabbath. (Isaiah 56:2.) 30. The Lord requires us to call it "honourable". (Isaiah 58:13.) Beware, ye who take delight in calling it the. “old Jewish Sabbath,” “a yoke of bondage,” etc. 31. After the holy Sabbath has been trodden down "many generations,” it is to be restored in the last days. (Isaiah 58:12,13.) 32. All the holy prophets kept the seventh day. 33. When the Son of God came, He kept the seventh day all His life. (Luke 4:16; John 15:10.) Thus He followed His Father's example at creation. Shall we not be safe in following the example of both the Father and the Son? 34. The seventh day is the Lord's Day. (See Revelation 1:10; Mark 2:28; Isaiah 58:13; Exodus 20:10.) 35. Jesus was Lord of the Sabbath (Mark 2:28), that is, to love and protect it, as the husband is the lord of the wife, to love and cherish her (1 Peter 3:6.) 36. He vindicated the Sabbath as a merciful institution designed for man's good. (Mark 2:23-28.) 37. Instead of abolishing the Sabbath, He carefully taught how it should be observed. (Matthew 12:1-13.) 38. He taught His disciples that they should do nothing upon the Sabbath day but what was “lawful” (Matthew 12:12.) 39. He instructed His apostles that the Sabbath should be prayerfully regarded forty years after His resurrection. (Matthew 24:20.) 40. The pious women who had been with Jesus carefully kept the seventh day after His death. (Luke 23:56.) 41. Thirty years after Christ's resurrection, the Holy Spirit' expressly calls it "the Sabbath day, "(Acts 13:14.) 42. Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles, called it the "Sabbath day" in A.D. 45. (Acts 13:27.) Did not Paul know? Or shall we believe modern teachers, who affirm that it ceased to be the Sabbath at the resurrection of Christ? 43. Luke, the inspired Christian historian, writing as late as A.D. 62, calls it the "Sabbath day." (Acts 13:44.) 44. The Gentile converts called it the Sabbath. (Acts 13:42.) 45. In the great Christian council, A.D. 49, in the presence of the apostles and thousands of disciples, James calls it the "sabbath day." (Acts 15:21) 46. It was customary to hold prayer meetings upon that day. (Acts 16:13.) 47. Paul read the Scriptures in public meetings on that day. (Acts 17:2, 3.) 48. It was his custom to preach upon that day. (Acts 17:2,3.) 49. The Book of Acts alone gives a record of his holding eighty-four meetings upon that day. (See Acts 13:14, 44; 16:13; 17:2; 18:4. 11.) 50. There was never any dispute between the Christians and the Jews about the Sabbath day. This is proof that the Christians still observed the same day that the Jews did. 51. In all their accusations against Paul, they never charged him with disregarding the Sabbath day. Why did they not, if he did not keep it? 52. But Paul himself expressly declared that he had kept the law. “Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all." Acts 25:8. How could this be true if he had not kept the Sabbath? 53. The Sabbath is mentioned in the New Testament fifty-nine times, and always with respect, bearing the same title it had in the Old Testament, “the Sabbath day.” 54. Not a word is said anywhere in the New Testament about the Sabbath's being abolished, done away, changed, or anything of the kind. 55. God has never given permission to any man to work upon it. Reader, by what authority do you use - the seventh day for common labor? 56. No Christian of the New Testament, either before or after the resurrection, ever did ordinary work upon the seventh day. Find one case of that kind, and we will yield the question. Why should modem Christians do differently from Bible Christians? 57. There is no record that God has ever removed His blessing or sanctification from the seventh day. 58. As the Sabbath was kept in Eden before the fall, so it will be observed eternally in the new earth after the restitution. (Isaiah 66:22, 23.) 59. The seventh-day Sabbath was an important part of the law of God, as it came from His own mouth, and was written by His own finger upon stone at Sinai. (See Exodus 20.) When Jesus began His work, He expressly declared that He had not come to destroy the law. “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets.” Matthew 5:17 60. Jesus severely condemned the Pharisees as hypocrites for pretending to love God, while at the same time they made void one of the Ten Commandments by their tradition. The keeping of Sunday is only a tradition of men. 40 Bible Facts Concerning the First Day of the Week 1. The very first thing recorded In the Bible is work done on Sunday, the first day of the week. (Genesis l: l-5.) The Creator Himself did this. If God made the earth on Sunday, can it be wicked for us to work on Sunday? 2. God commands men to work upon the first day of the week. (Exodus 20.8-11.) Is it wrong to obey God? 3. None of the patriarchs ever kept it. 4. None of the holy prophets ever kept it. 5. By the express command of-God, His holy people used the first day of the week as a common working day for 4,000 years, at least. 6. God Himself calls it a "working" day. (Ezekiel 46:1.) 7. God did not rest upon it. 8. He never blessed it. 9. Christ did not rest upon it. 10. Jesus was a carpenter (Mark 6:3), and worked at His trade until He was thirty years old. He kept the Sabbath and worked six days in the week, as all admit. Hence He did many a hard day’s work on Sunday. 11. The apostles worked upon it during the same time. 12. The apostles never rested upon it. 13. Christ never blessed it. 14. It has never been blessed by any divine authority. 15. It has never been sanctified. 16. No law was ever given to enforce the keeping of it, hence it is no transgression to work upon it. “Where no law is, there is no transgression.” Romans 4:15 (See also 1 John 3:4.) 17. The New Testament nowhere forbids work to be done on it. 18. No penalty is provided for its violation. 19. No blessing is promised for its observance. 20. No regulation is given as to how it ought to be observed. Would this be so if the Lord wished us to keep it? 21. It is never called the Christian Sabbath. 22. It is never called the Sabbath day at all. 23. It is never called the Lord’s day. 24. It is never called even a rest day. 25. No sacred title whatever is applied to it. Then why should we call it holy? 26. It is simply called “first day of the week.” 27. Jesus never- mentioned it in any way, never took its name upon His lips, so far as the record shows. 28. The word Sunday never occurs in the Bible at all. 29. Neither God, Christ, nor inspired men ever said one word in favor of Sunday as a holy day. 30. The first day of the week is mentioned only eight times in all the New Testament. (Matthew 28:1; Mark 16:2,9; Luke 24:1; John 20:1, 19; Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 16:2.) 31. Six of these texts refer to the same first day of the week. 32. Paul directed the saints to look over their secular affairs on that day. (1Corinthians 16:2.) 33. In all the New Testament we have a record of only one religious meeting held upon that day, and even this was a night meeting. (Acts 20:5-12.) 34. There is not intimation that they ever held a meeting upon it before or after that. 35. It was not their custom to meet on that day. 36. There was no requirement to break bread on that day. 37. We have an account of only one instance in which it was done. (Acts 20:7.) 38. That was done in the night-after midnight. (Verses 7-11.) Jesus celebrated it on Thursday evening (Luke 22), and the disciples sometimes did it every day (Acts 2:42-46.) 39. The Bible nowhere says that the first day of the week commemorates the resurrection of Christ. This is a tradition of men, which contradicts the law of God. (Matthew 15:1-9.) Baptism commemorates the burial and resurrection of Jesus. (Romans 6:3-5.) 40. Finally, the New Testament is totally silent with regard to any change of the Sabbath day or any sacredness for the first day. Here are one hundred plain Bible facts upon this question, showing conclusively that the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord in both the Old and New Testament.

Christianity EtcJust 2% Of Israel's Population Are Christians (What Then Is The Largest Religion by Divinenwa(op): 7:46pm On Aug 07, 2020
Just 2% Of Israel's Population Are Christians (What Then Is The Largest Religious Group In Isreal? Before I go on with this piece of write up, I would want to state clearly that it is in no way, trying to undermine, underestimate, or valuate a certain religion above another; neither is it portraying a certain religion to lacking in any form, over there in Israel or the whole world. As a Christian that I am, of course from birth, we are made to understand that Christianity started from Israel as the pioneer of the faith originates from this region. According to Biblical accounts, The Israelites were rescued by God Almighty, and he chose them to be his people. Right from the time they left their land of captivity (Egypt), God continued to be with them until they arrived the promised land. Stories have also revealed how for a very long generation, God Almighty promised the Israelis to be with them from time to time. He also promised to send them a Messiah, who will come to rescue them and rule over them from everlasting to everlasting. The second testament of the bible tells tales of the coming of this Messiah from his birth, to his ministration, his death and resurrection. According to historical and traditional sources, Jesus lived in Roman Judea, and died and was buried on the site of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the Old city of Jerusalem making the are a Holy Land for Christianity. However, few Christians now live in the region, compared to Muslims and Jews. This section of the bible, reveals how God fulfilled his promise to the Israelis and to the whole world in generation. After the death and Resurrection of Christ, before his ascension, he charged his disciples to continue with the ministration he started; to spread out his faith and make disciples of all nations. From that statement, Christianity was given birth to. The disciples then in Jerusalem (Israel), took it upon themselves to spread the gospel (good news) of the Lord across the whole world. Now, this is what prompted my writing this piece. With the relationship that was established between God and the Israelis; how Jesus Christ continued this relationship while on earth; and how this Christianity movement started in Israel by a certain group of Israelis and spread across the world; it is quite mysterious to realize that of the whole Israeli population, Christians constitutes only 2% of it. This brings us to the question, what then is the largest population group in Israel. Religion plays a significant role in Israeli society, and because so many Christians around the world look to the country where Jesus lived and died as a source of inspiration, Israel's tiny Christian community is of special interest. Four of the five mos recent popes have visited Israel. In terms of demographics, adherents to Christianity make up less than two percent of the population in Israel (177,000 people) as of 2020. This is according to the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics (2019-12-23). By far, most of these followers (77%) are Arab-Christians, who are mostly adherents of the Melkite Greek Catholic Church. Some 42% of all Israeli Christians are affiliated with the Melkite Greek Church and so the rest. Although, there seem to be a growth in the number of Christians in Israel because as of 2018, Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics reported that approximately 175,000 Christians were living in Israel, which is significantly less compared to the 177,000 in 2020 (as of 2013, the population of Christians in Israel was at 161,000). Ten Christian churches are formally recognized under Israel's confessional system, for the self- regulation and state recognition of status such as marriage and divorce. However, the practice of religion is free, with no restrictions on the practice of other denominations. There are a good number of Christians who had converted from Islam according to some sources, and most of them are part of the Roman Catholic church. A certain number of Israelis also practice Messianic Judaism- usually considered a syncretist form of Christianity. The number of Messianic Jews in Israel is estimated at around 20,000. They are mostly classified "without religious affiliation" rather than Jewish or Christian. The cities and communities where most of Christians in Israel reside are Haifa, Nazareth, Jish, Mi'ilya, Fassuta and Kafr Yasif. As you all can recall, or must have heard, Israel's Declaration of Independence, issued in 1948, describes the country as a Jewish state but clearly extends religious freedoms to all of it's inhabitants by stating that the State of Israel will ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all it's inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex; it will guaranteed freedom of religion, conscience, ... and safeguard the Holy Places of all religions. Thus the religious affiliation of the Israeli population as of 2020 is 74.2% Jewish, 17.8% Muslim, 2% Christian, and 1.6% Druze, with the remaining 4.4% including faiths such as Samaritanism and Baha'iism, and irreligious people with no faith. Thus, Judaism which was a religion that was practiced by the Jews before the coming of Christianity still remains the largest religious group in Israel. I bet you are well educated by this piece of article. Hence, remember to share this piece of article to others out there so as to get them educated as well
