Sabbath day - Saturday or Sunday?

Galatians 4:10

"Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years."

“Days … years”: 

The rituals, ceremonies and festivals of the Jewish religious calendar which God had given, but were never required for the church.

Paul warns the Galatians, as he did the Colossians

(see notes on Rom. 14:1-6; Col. 2:16-17),

against legalistically observing them as if they were required by God or could earn favor with Him.

The Galatians were beginning to “observe” that part of the law least repugnant to them, the calendar: “days”

(Sabbath, fast, and feast days),

“months”

(new moons or feast days beginning with each month);

“times”

(Passover, Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles);

 and

“years”

(sabbatical years, and the Year of Jubilee).

This was very much a part of the law.

This observance of days had to do with the Sabbath and with the feast of the law.

There are some religions today that are doing like these people in Galatia were doing.

On one hand, they wanted the benefits of Christianity, but they were very much caught up in the law.

This is one of the reasons 

the Christians celebrate Sunday

instead of Saturday 

for their holy day.

The Christians are celebrating the resurrection of Jesus.

The others are living in the law.

Galatians 4:11

"I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labor in vain."

Romans 14:1-6

1

Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters.

2

One person's faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.

3

The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them.

4

Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the LORD is able to make them stand.

5

One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind.

6

Whoever regards one day as special does so to the LORD. Whoever eats meat does so to the LORD, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the LORD and gives thanks to God.

Colossians 2:16-17

16

Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.

17

These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.

Feast Days and Sabbaths | Sabbath Truth

https://www.sabbathtruth.com/.../book-library/book/e/27/t/feast-days-and-sabbaths

Now we can understand what Paul was referring to in Colossians when he wrote about meat and drink and Sabbath days which are shadows. There were certain prescribed offerings for each of those yearly feast days, and they were shadows pointing to the future sacrifice of Jesus.

Judaizers are Christians

The covenant with God requires Jews to be loyal to God and to follow the commandments of Judaism.

In return God will make the Jewish people into a great nation, give the land of Israel and be with his people, protecting his people throughout history.

Since the cross, ‘God the son is the covenant of Circumcision’.

In Matthew 5:17-18, as part of His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus says,

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets;

I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished."

Judaizers are Christians who teach it is necessary to adopt Jewish customs and practices, especially those found in the Law of Moses, to be saved. The term is derived from the Koine Greek word Ἰουδαΐζειν (Ioudaizein), used once in the Greek New Testament (Galatians 2:14), when Paul publicly challenges Peter for compelling Gentile converts to Early Christianity to "judaize". This episode is known as the incident at Antioch.

This term includes groups who claim the necessity of continued obedience to the Law of Moses found in the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Bible) for gentiles. Members of such groups dispute the label because "Judaizers" is typically used as a pejorative.

Most Christians believe that much of the Old Covenant has been superseded, while according to some modern Protestants it has been completely abrogated and replaced by the Law of Christ. The Christian debate over Judaizing began in the lifetime of the apostles, notably at the Council of Jerusalem and the incident at Antioch. It has been carried on parallel to continuing debates about Paul the Apostle and Judaism, Protestant views of the Ten Commandments, and Christian ethics.

The word Judaizer comes from Judaize, which is seldom used in English Bible translations (an exception is the Young's Literal Translation for Galatians 2:14).

The meaning of the verb Judaize, from which the noun Judaizer is derived, can only be derived from its various historical uses. Its biblical meaning must also be inferred and is not clearly defined beyond its obvious relationship to the word "Jew." The Anchor Bible Dictionary, for example, says: “The clear implication is that gentiles are being compelled to live according to Jewish customs."

trump sent by God as the “Chosen One”

Rick Perry:

trump sent by God as the “Chosen One”

Energy Secretary Rick Perry in a Fox News interview called Trump 

'the chosen one' who was 'sent by God to do great things'

"God's used imperfect people all through history. 

King David wasn't perfect. 

Saul wasn't perfect. 

Solomon wasn't perfect," 

Perry said in the interview, which aired Sunday.

Mr. Rick Perry, 

all of Gods People have sinned 

since the first Adam, this is why God sent his only son 

(Lord Jesus Christ), 

as your King!

The main difference between trump and trump republican party followers and there are many and all Christian followers of the word of God is the need to ‘constantly ask Jesus Christ’ for forgiveness of your sins against the living God (Trinity)!

True believers are on their knees constantly while ‘non-believers’ dig for excuses for being caught in their sin!

President Lord Jesus Christ must have no presidents before him!

For most of my 78 years

I have been reading the ‘Wrong Bible’?!?

In my bible, 

God warned his people, as in, 

we the people, 

to 

not demand a king!

God gave his people 

our own free well 

in the beginning, 

so God gave his people Saul!

1 Samuel 8-10 NIV - Israel Asks for a King

How did that make our?

King Saul followed by King David, followed by King Solomon 

and so on, 

how has that been working out for Gods people?

Remember; 

before kings, empires, presidents, queens and so on, 

God was, is and should always be our King, 

because before kings, 

Gods people never lost a battle or a war 

unless 

they 

strayed from God!

Guess what country is now straying from God?

I’ll give you three guesses.

Right!

Guess (1) -The United States of America

Guess (2) -The United States of America

Guess (3) -The United States of America

In other words, same old Rick Perry, no room for toilet paper!

Was Paul an Apostle?

https://www.bible-studys.org/index.html

Well did he ever, in life or those 13 letters, preach other then what his ‘Apostle Brother’s taught?

NO!

“Paul”: See introduction to Romans (see note on Acts 9:1).

“Apostle”: In general terms, it means “one who is sent with a commission.” The apostles of Jesus Christ, the 12 and Paul, were special ambassadors or messengers chosen and trained by Christ to lay the foundation of the early church and be the channels of God’s completed revelation (see note on Rom. 1:1; Acts 1:2; 2:42; Eph. 2:20).

“Not of men … but by Jesus Christ”: To defend his apostleship against the false teachers’ attack, Paul emphasized that Christ Himself appointed him as an apostle before he met the other apostles (verses 17-18; Acts 9:3-9).

“Raised him from the dead” (see notes on Rom. 1:4). Paul included this important fact to show that the risen and ascended Christ Himself appointed him (see notes on Acts 9:1-3, 15). Thus, Paul was a qualified witness of His resurrection (Acts 1:22).

Paul vehemently denies that his apostleship is due to human agency. He was not commissioned an apostle, by any group (“not of men”), nor by any mortal individual (“neither by man”). But “by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead:”

Unlike the other apostles, Paul received his call from the resurrected, glorified, and exalted Jesus. This special reference to the Lord’s resurrection implicitly confirms Paul’s appointment as an apostle.

We see a declaration of who Paul is right at the very beginning. We find that Paul reminds them immediately that his call was of the Lord Himself. When we speak of a disciple of that day, we think of the 120, who had disciplined themselves to follow Jesus. We also think of the twelve who Jesus chose out of that larger group to make them apostles.

We then realize that Matthias was also one of them. The Lord Himself had chosen him to replace the traitor, Judas Iscariot. Paul was an apostle also, even though he was not of the original group. Jesus had appeared to him on the road to Damascus, and called him to apostleship.

The Gospel Which Paul Preached

Paul the Apostle (Latin : Paulus ; Greek : Παῦλος, romanized :  Paulos ; Coptic : ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ; c. 5 – c. 64 or 67), commonly known as Saint Paul and also known by his Jewish name Saul of Tarsus (Hebrew : שאול התרסי ‎, romanized :  Sha'ūl ha-Tarsī ; Greek : Σαῦλος Ταρσεύς, romanized :  Saũlos Tarseús), was an apostle (although not one of the Twelve Apostles) who taught the gospel of Christ to the first-century world.

I. IT WAS A RECEIVED, NOT AN ORIGINATED, GOSPEL. "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received" (ver. 3). He tells us that he received it by "the revelation of Jesus Christ" (Galatians 1:12). He had the more confidence in it that it was not of himself, and we have also. It came from the very central Source of all. Paul's gospel of Christ came from Christ. Some preachers of the gospel are so able that they feel bound to originate. They throw a new light upon the truth instead of the old light. They preach, as they consider, a magnificent gospel, but it is unfortunately "of man," and thus worthless. Man can do many things, but he cannot make a gospel. When he tries he advertises his folly. With Paul, we should get as near as we can to the fountainhead - the streams are apt to become contaminated.

II. TWO CONSPICUOUS FEATURES.

1. The atoning death of Christ. Paul preached constantly, untiringly, supremely, the atonement (see his strong expression, 1 Corinthians 2:2). He laid greatest emphasis upon the death of Christ. The life was beautiful, full of teaching; but in the death was the propitiation for sin. He died for our sins; our sins were so great that they required his death! "He bore our sins in his own body on the tree." And the death of Christ did not come suddenly upon the world. It was "according to the Scriptures:" foretold by the prophets, as, for example, by Isaiah in the fifty-third chapter of his book. He had no sins of his own to die for; he died for ours. He "gave himself" for us.

2. The resurrection of Christ. This was the demonstration of the efficacy of his death, a proof that he conquered and was not conquered. The real triumph achieved in his death was manifested by his resurrection. A pledge of our resurrection through him. A token of his acceptance by God.

(1) The apostle laid stress upon the fact that Christ died. It was no swoon. A real death, and then a real resurrection. He "died" and "was buried" (ver. 4). He rose "the third day," so that for a day and part of two others he was in the sepulchre. Stone afterwards denied the actual death of Christ, and thus made void his resurrection. The apostle here anticipates their attack.

(2) That his resurrection accorded with prophecy. It was "according to the Scriptures" (see Psalm 16:10).

(3) That his resurrection was well attested by witnesses. Paul does not give here all the appearances of Christ after his death, but a selection.

(a) Appearance to Peter (Luke 24:34).

(b) To the twelve. Called by the familiar name "the twelve," though Judas was gone (Luke 24:33-36).

(c) To five hundred brethren. Possibly in Galilee, where intimation of his appearing had been given, and may have been widely known, occasioning a large gathering of his followers (Matthew 26:32 and Matthew 28:10, 16).

(d) To James. Probably James who presided over the Church at Jerusalem.

(e) All the apostles (John 20:26 or Acts 1:4).

(f) To St. Paul. As of one born out of due time. The least of the apostles. A grand array of evidence, and yet not all. The writer and speaker could bear personal testimony. Most of the five hundred were alive and could be interrogated. Others had "fallen asleep" in hope of a glorious resurrection through him who had appeared to them after his own death and burial.

2 Corinthians 5:17

2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore if any man/woman [be] in Christ, [

he/she is] a new creature: old things are passed away; 

behold, all things are become new.

“If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature”: 

What Paul particularizes (in verse 16), he generalizes (in verse 17).

Paul could no longer think of Christ in purely carnal terms, because of the universal truth that has been applied to him personally.

That is, when a man comes into vital union with the risen and glorified Lord, he is a “new creation” (John 3:3; 15:5; Rom. 8:1, 9; Gal. 6:14-15), and perceives Christ in a new way.

“In Christ”:

These two words comprise a brief but most profound statement of the inexhaustible significance of the believer’s redemption, which includes the following:

1.   

The believer’s security in Christ, who bore in His body God’s judgment against sin;

2.   

The believer’s acceptance in Him with whom God alone is well pleased;

3.  

The believer’s future assurance in Him who is the resurrection to eternal life and the sole guarantor of the believer’s inheritance in heaven;

4.  

 The believer’s participation in the divine nature of Christ, the everlasting Word (2 Peter 1:4).

2 Corinthians 5:1-3

John 14:2-3

 "In my Father's house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you." "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also."

2 Peter 1:14:

 "Knowing that shortly I must put off [this] my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me."

“A building of God” is Paul’s metaphor for the believer’s resurrected, glorified body. A glorified body, by definition, is not of this earthly creation but one that has been made by God.

Revelation 21:3

 "And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God."

How long before trump America will go from authoritarian regimes, to a totalitarian states to complete Totalitarianism with the help of the trump followers in congress and the supreme court?

America in the end of time?

The primary predictive passages are Ezekiel 37-39, Daniel 2 and 7-12; Matthew 24-25; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-5:11; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12; and Revelation 4-22.

Three possibilities for what happens to the United States in the end times.

1 Corinthians 15: Verses 36-38:

 When a seed is planted in the ground it dies;

decomposing, it ceases to exist in its seed form, but life comes from inside that dead seed.

Just as God gives a new body to that plant that rises from the dead seed,

so He can give a resurrection body to a man who dies.

1 Corinthians 15:36

"[Thou] fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:"

It is a dangerous thing to call someone a fool, so Paul is indirectly and not directly calling them a fool.

He is saying, are you so foolish to believe that the same seed that you plant grows into a seed?

When you put a little seed in the ground, it dies and then a new plant springs forth from the seed.

1 Corinthians 15:37

"And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other [grain]:"

It is so strange for a little acorn to be planted in the ground and then a short time later in the very spot where you planted the acorn a little tree pops out of the earth. 

If you plant a bean, you will not get corn.

The plant that comes from the seed is very like the seed and you will be able to relate it to the seed that you planted, but it will not be identical.

This is the same with our body that is planted. A new body comes forth, but you would be able to relate the new body to the old, because Jesus still had the nail prints in his hands.

He was, however, different enough that even His apostles, looking with physical eyes did not recognize Him.

It was only when their spiritual understanding was opened, that they recognized Jesus as the risen Christ.

1 Corinthians 15:38

 "But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body."

Looking for guidance or a guide from Creator (Kiehtan)?

I know that there are a number of tribes in your country; I was blessed to visit one on a journey in 1962 while in the military.

I can no longer remember much about that trip however it was just past 'France' by train.

Speak with one of the tribal elders.

Because most elders are in fact, ‘Spiritual Teachers’ and/or Medicine men/women, one should be willing to take you under wing as a student?
