BLUEBERRYPANCAKESSABBATH

Here's some of those occurrences of the word "SABBATH" in the texts written by the closest students of Yahusha.

Colossians 2:1

"Let no one therefore judge you in eating or in drinking, or in respect of a festival, or a new moon, or SABBATHS –

Many are told the Sabbath command is not "repeated" in the "New Testament"..Yahusha told us,

"This past week, while listening to your teaching concerning redemption, I heard you mention the lessons to be learned from the book of Nehemiah.

The people (Israel) listened to the reading of the (Torah) scroll, and learned they had not been faithful in heeding the instructions (Torot, plural for Torah), and kept the festival of Sukkoth (Tabernacles, Tents). In your comments you made the statement that you had great respect for people who obey instructions written in the Torah, like innocent children who obey their parents. You said this was dear to our Father (Yahuah). Then you regurgitated the words of seminary (seed-plot) teachers who claim that “the Sabbath” is the only commandment not “repeated” in the “New Testament”.

This is simply untrue. The Sabbath is mentioned and observed throughout the Brith Chadasha (renewed Covenant writings), and in fact is over twice as often mentioned in the books from Mt. – Rev. as in all the rest of Scripture (TaNaK). If the occurrences of the word "Sabbath" represented individual blueberries in 5 pancakes, and the fifth pancake represented the books from Mt. – Rev., then it would contain more than twice as many blueberries as the other 4 pancakes.

The Sabbath is not obeyed by Christianity as a whole, due to the edict of Constantine in 321 CE, I realize. But it is one of the Ten Commandments, and a day which was blessed by Yahuah in the beginning (always correct with Scripture: you may find evidence of this blessing of the 7^th day at Barashith/Genesis 2:2,3, and its permanence is given at Shemoth/Exodus 31:13-17). It is the “sign” of the Eternal Covenant, so that would indicate that it is also eternal, as the rest of Scripture backs up. Hebrews chapter 4 is very clear, but too often spiritualized and not properly understood.’

(End of Email from Lew White)

The Christian pastor David Jeremiah has been informed that his reply to this email will be posted at this web site, so we are waiting for his response. Hopefully he will reply and you may read his comments, and whether or not he acknowledges that the Sabbath is still a day which Yahuah blessed, and whether he recognizes it as such after years of neglecting it - as the returning Israelites realized they had neglected the festival of Sukkoth. What an opportunity this will be for him to get the right answer about something so important to his relationship with Yahusha; but it will also be a point of departure for his supporters who don't agree. Walking in the Covenant is not how Christian teachers understand repentance, because doing so has great costs attached to it.
