TIME IS THE STUFF THAT 00:53 YOUR LIFE IS MADE OF. 00:55 A HUNDRED PERCENT OF ALL YOU HAVE BELONGS TO GOD, 01:00 BUT IN THE BIBLE IT TELLS US THAT WE GIVE A PERCENTAGE OF 01:02 THAT TO SHOW OUR FAITH IN GOD. 01:05 A HUNDRED PERCENT OF YOUR TIME BELONGS TO GOD, BUT HE TELLS US 01:10 IN THE BIBLE TO SHOW OUR FAITH IN HIM BY HONORING A PERCENTAGE 01:13 OF THAT AS HOLY. 01:16 AND THAT IS ONE OF THE COMMANDMENTS THAT HAS LARGELY 01:20 BEEN FORGOTTEN - NOT ONLY BY THE WORLD BUT BY EVEN THE CHURCH. 01:25 IT'S AMAZING THAT THE ONE COMMANDMENT THAT BEGINS WITH THE 01:27 WORD 'REMEMBER' HAS BEEN FORGOTTEN. 01:32 IN THE COMMANDMENTS, YOU'VE GOT ONE COMMANDMENT - THE LONGEST 01:36 COMMANDMENT - BEGINS WITH THE WORD 'REMEMBER' AND THE DEVIL 01:39 HAS BEEN ATTACKING THAT COMMANDMENT - AND I'LL 01:43 TELL YOU WHY. 01:44 YOU CANNOT LOVE SOMEBODY WITHOUT TIME. 01:49 LOVE DEVELOPS AS YOU GET TO KNOW SOMEBODY. 01:51 AND YOU KNOW WHY A LOT OF MARRIAGES FALL APART? 01:55 BECAUSE THE COUPLE STOPS HAVING QUALITY TIME TOGETHER. 01:59 THEY STOP COMMUNICATING. 02:00 THEY STOP SPENDING TIME TOGETHER. 02:03 YOU CANNOT OBEY GOD IF YOU DON'T KNOW GOD IF YOU DON'T LOVE GOD. 02:07 THE DEVIL KNOWS THAT. 02:10 SO THE DEVIL WORKS THE HARDEST TO DESTROY OUR TIME WITH GOD. 02:15 AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT THIS LESSON IS ABOUT. 02:18 QUESTION #1: WHICH DAY OF THE WEEK IS THE SABBATH? 02:24 WELL, YOU CAN LOOK AT A NUMBER OF PLACES. 02:25 FIRST OF ALL, LOOK AT GENESIS CHAPTER 2, VERSES 2 AND 3, 02:28 "AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY" - THIS IS THE WEEK OF CREATION - 02:31 "ON THE SEVENTH DAY GOD ENDED HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD DONE AND 02:35 HE RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM HIS WORK THAT HE HAD DONE 02:38 AND GOD BLESSED THE SABBATH DAY AND HALLOWED IT." 02:43 SO WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK IS THE SEVENTH DAY? 02:44 THIS KIND OF SURPRISES PEOPLE. 02:47 IT SAYS, 'SEVENTH DAY, SATURDAY, THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK.' 02:51 YOU LOOK IN ANY DICTIONARY, YOU LOOK IN ANY ENCYCLOPEDIA, 02:54 IT WILL TELL YOU THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, SUNDAY - 02:57 SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK, SATURDAY. 02:59 IT'S THAT WAY - YOU LOOK AT ANY NORMAL CALENDAR AND YOU'LL 03:01 SEE THAT. 03:02 #2: BUT WASN'T THE SABBATH CHANGED TO SUNDAY AT CHRIST'S 03:07 DEATH OR RESURRECTION? 03:09 HAVE YOU HEARD THAT BEFORE? 03:13 LET'S LOOK AT WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS. 03:14 LUKE CHAPTER 23, VERSE 54, "THAT DAY, THE DAY THAT JESUS 03:18 DIED WAS THE PREPARATION DAY." - IT'S WHAT WE COMMONLY CALL 03:21 FRIDAY - "AND THE SABBATH DREW ON." 03:25 THE BIBLE SAYS, 'FROM EVENING 'TIL EVENING YOU'LL CELEBRATE 03:27 YOUR SABBATH BEGINS AT SUNDOWN. 03:31 AGAIN, YOU CAN READ IN MARK CHAPTER 1 - NEW AND OLD 03:33 TESTAMENT - 'AND AT EVENING, WHEN THE SUN HAD SET AND THE 03:36 SABBATH WAS OVER, PEOPLE BROUGHT ALL THEIR SICK FRIENDS TO JESUS 03:39 AND HE BEGAN TO HEAL THEM. 03:41 SO THEY ALWAYS MEASURED THE DAYS - THEY DID NOT BEGIN AT 12:00 03:44 MIDNIGHT - THE DAYS BEGAN AND ENDED, IN THE BIBLE, AT SUNDOWN. 03:48 SO WHEN CHRIST DIED FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND THE SABBATH WAS 03:50 APPROACHING, IT SAYS, 'THEY THEN RETURNED AND PREPARED SPICES AND 03:55 FRAGRANT OILS AND THEY RESTED ON THE SABBATH DAY ACCORDING TO THE 04:00 JEWISH TRADITION.' IS THAT WHAT IT SAYS? 04:04 CAN YOU READ THAT UP THERE? 04:06 IN THE BIBLE IT SAYS 'THEY RESTED ON THE SABBATH DAY' - OH, 04:08 BY THE WAY, THIS IS IN LUKE - 'THEY RESTED ON THE SABBATH DAY' 04:12 - HE'S A GENTILE - 'ACCORDING TO THE COMMANDMENT.' 04:15 HE NEVER MAKES ANY SPECULATION ABOUT IT BEING SOME 04:18 OLD JEWISH LAW. 04:21 "AND ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING, 04:24 THEY CAME TO THE TOMB.' NOW, THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT 04:27 WHAT DAYS THINGS HAPPEN. 04:28 YOU JUST LOOK - I'LL PUT IT UP HERE ON THE SCREEN SO YOU CAN 04:30 KIND OF VISUALIZE THIS. 04:32 JESUS DIED ON WHAT COMMONLY IS CALLED 'GOOD FRIDAY' - 04:35 THAT'S THE PREPARATION DAY. 04:37 THE BIBLE SAYS THAT. 04:38 EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT. 04:40 HE RESTED IN THE TOMB ON THE SABBATH. 04:43 DID YOU EVER CONSIDER THAT JESUS FINISHED HIS WORK FRIDAY 04:46 AFTERNOON BEFORE THE SABBATH BEGAN - HE SAID, 'IT IS 04:49 FINISHED.' HE WENT TO SLEEP CHRIST EVEN KEPT THE SABBATH 04:52 IN HIS DEATH. 04:54 AND THEN HE ROSE - HE RESTED THROUGH THE SABBATH - THEN HE 04:58 ROSE SUNDAY MORNING - NOT TO START INAUGURATING A NEW DAY OF 05:02 REST - HE ROSE TO BEGIN HIS WORK NOW, AS OUR HIGH PRIEST, 05:05 BEFORE THE FATHER. 05:07 THE IDEA THAT HE ROSE SUNDAY TO INAUGURATE A NEW SABBATH - CAN 05:12 YOU PLEASE SHOW ME A COMMANDMENT ANYWHERE IN THE BIBLE THAT TELLS 05:16 US TO KEEP THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK AS THE SABBATH? 05:20 I'LL WAIT. 05:24 I'LL BE WAITING A LONG TIME BECAUSE IT ISN'T THERE FRIENDS, 05:26 IS IT? 05:27 IT'S PRETTY RISKY FOR ME TO DO THAT WITH A LIVE CROWD LIKE THIS 05:30 WHEN THE CAMERAS ARE ROLLING - EXCEPT I KNOW IT'S NOT THERE. 05:34 AND THE BIBLE IS VERY CLEAR - THERE'S ONLY ONE DAY THAT'S EVER 05:37 GIVEN AS THE SABBATH DAY AND IT IS WHAT WE COMMONLY CALL 05:41 SATURDAY - THE DAY BETWEEN FRIDAY AND SUNDAY. 05:45 NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT - JESUS ROSE SUNDAY - THAT'S WHY THEY 05:47 HAVE EASTER SUNDAY, RIGHT? 05:50 BUT ISN'T SUNDAY THE LORD'S DAY? 05:53 HOW MANY OF YOU'VE HEARD PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL, ON THE LORD'S DAY, 05:56 SUNDAY' AND THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT SUNDAY? 05:57 I HAVE. 05:58 WHERE'S THE VERSE THAT CALLS SUNDAY THE LORD'S DAY? 06:02 BIG HOAX. 06:03 IT'S NOT IN THE BIBLE. 06:05 IT'S A TRADITION. 06:07 MATTER OF FACT, IT SAYS THE OPPOSITE IN THE BIBLE. 06:09 IT SAYS THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH IS THE LORD'S DAY. 06:13 FOR INSTANCE, YOU CAN LOOK IN EXODUS CHAPTER 20 - THIS IS THE 06:15 TEN COMMANDMENTS EXODUS 20 - IT SAYS, 'BUT THE SEVENTH DAY 06:19 IS THE SABBATH OF THE JEWS.' OH, IS THAT WHAT IT SAYS 06:24 IN THE COMMANDMENT? 06:25 THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD YOUR GOD.' 06:29 THAT'S THE LORD'S DAY. 06:31 AGAIN, ISAIAH 58:13. 06:33 "IF YOU TURN AWAY YOUR FOOT FROM THE SABBATH, FROM DOING YOUR 06:37 PLEASURE ON MY HOLY DAY," - TURNING AWAY YOUR FOOT MEANS 06:40 GOING YOUR OWN WAY, TRAMPLING SOMETHING UNDER YOUR FOOT. 06:42 IT'S SAYING, 'IF YOU STOP DISRESPECTING MY HOLY DAY' THEN 06:46 HE SAYS HE'LL BLESS HIS PEOPLE AND CAUSE THEM TO RIDE UPON THE 06:49 HIGH PLACES OF THE EARTH. 06:51 HE SAYS, 'MY HOLY DAY.' SO WHAT DAY IS THE LORD'S DAY? 06:55 NOW YOU MIGHT BE THINKING, 'OH, PASTOR DOUG, WHAT DIFFERENCE 06:57 DOES IT MAKE AS LONG AS IT'S A SEVENTH DAY? 07:01 DO THE COMMANDMENTS SAY 'KEEP A SEVENTH DAY' OR 07:04 'THE SEVENTH DAY'? 07:06 IF I SAY, 'CAN YOU PLEASE BRING ME A PEN?' 07:09 ABOUT 50 OF YOU MIGHT HOP UP OUT OF YOUR SEATS - YOU'RE VERY KIND 07:12 - AND BRING ME A PEN. 07:14 BUT IF I SAY 'WILL YOU BRING ME 'THE PEN'' IS THAT DIFFERENT? 07:19 YOU'RE ALL GOING TO LOOK AT EACH OTHER AND SAY, 'I WONDER WHAT 07:20 PEN HE'S TALKING ABOUT.' RIGHT? 07:22 THE WORD 'THE' IS A DEFINITE ARTICLE. 07:24 SO, WHEN GOD SAYS, 'THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD', 07:28 THERE IS NO LANGUAGE ARRANGEMENT THAT IS MORE DEFINITE THAN THAT 07:31 THAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT A SPECIFIC DAY THAT HE BLESSED. 07:35 CAN WE BLESS OUR OWN DAY? 07:36 DO WE JUST SPIN SOME ROULETTE WHEEL AND SAY, 'OH, YOU KNOW, 07:39 GOD'S GOT HIS BBATH, I'M GOING TO PICK MY OWN - AS LONG AS IT'S 07:41 ONCE EVERY SEVENTH DAY. 07:43 WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO GOD'S PEOPLE IF WE ALL THOUGHT 07:44 LIKE THAT? 07:46 SABBATH IS CALLED A HOLY CONVOCATION IN THE BIBLE. 07:49 CONVOCATION MEANS A CONVENING, AN ASSEMBLY. 07:51 WE'RE TO COME TOGETHER AND WORSHIP HIM. 07:54 AND YET THE DEVIL'S BEEN ATTACKING THAT. 07:57 'WELL, BUT PASTOR DOUG, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY'S DOING IT.' 08:00 IS THAT GOING TO BE YOUR ATTITUDE ABOUT GOD'S 08:02 COMMANDMENTS? 08:03 IF YOU DO WHAT EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD'S DOING - NOW, I HATE TO 08:06 GO THERE. 08:07 JUST LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND YOU IN THE WORLD. 08:09 ARE YOU GOING TO BE GOVERNED BY THE WORD OF GOD? 08:13 AND THE LAW OF GOD? 08:14 OR BY POPULAR TRENDS? 08:16 'BROAD IS THE WAY THAT LEADS TO DESTRUCTION AND MANY THEY ARE 08:19 THAT GO IN THAT ROAD.' GOD'S CALLING YOU TO THE 08:22 STRAIGHT GATE, FRIENDS. 08:24 YOU MAY NOT BE IN THE MAJORITY BUT IT'LL BE THE TRUTH AND THE 08:27 TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE. 08:28 I WAS DOING A SEMINAR LIKE THIS IN A SMALL TOWN. 08:32 I HAPPENED TO ALSO BE THE PASTOR IN THIS TOWN AND SO, SOME OF THE 08:36 PEOPLE KNEW EACH OTHER. 08:37 AND I DID THIS PRESENTATION THAT I'M SHARING WITH YOU AND A 08:41 NUMBER OF PEOPLE WERE THERE - AND SOME OF THEM FROM VARIOUS 08:44 CHURCHES - AND THE PASTOR CAME AND HE - I COULD SEE THAT HE WAS 08:48 JUST SWEATING BECAUSE HE KNEW WHAT I WAS SAYING WAS TRUE. 08:52 HE KNEW ABOUT THE BIBLE TEXTS AND HE BLURTED OUT - LIKE RIGHT 08:56 NOW, WHILE YOU'RE SITTING HERE - HE BLURTED OUT DURING THE 08:58 PRESENTATION, 'PASTOR DOUG, YOU'RE PUTTING ALL THESE PEOPLE 09:01 UNDER BONDAGE. 09:02 YOU'RE TELLING THEM THAT THEY'RE BEING SAVED BY WORKS AND KEEPING 09:05 THE LAW.' WELL, I MEAN, IT WAS A MAJOR 09:07 INTERRUPTION SO I SAID - I DIDN'T WANT TO BE DISRESPECTFUL 09:11 - SO I SAID, 'PASTOR,' I SAID, 'I'M TELLING THEM TO REST. 09:16 YOU'RE TELLING THEM NOT TO REST. 09:19 YOU'RE PUTTING THEM UNDER WORKS, NOT ME. 09:21 I'M NOT TELLING THEM TO WORK. 09:21 I'M SAYING KEEP THE SABBATH AND REST.' 09:24 HE SAID, 'WELL, WE DON'T HAVE TO KEEP THE LAW. WE'RE 09:26 NOT UNDER THE LAW ANYMORE.' I SAID, 'PASTOR,' - AND THIS WAS 09:31 VERY INTERESTING. 09:32 PEOPLE GOT VERY INTERESTED WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING BETWEEN THE 09:34 PASTOR AND I - AND HIS FACE WAS TURNING RED. 09:38 I SAID, 'PASTOR, DO YOU THINK GOD WANTS US TO KEEP THE TEN 09:41 COMMANDMENTS? 09:43 HE SAID, 'NO!' AND THEN EVERYBODY KIND OF 09:44 GASPED - HIS OWN MEMBERS KIND OF LOOKED AT HIM - AND, I MEAN, HOW 09:47 CAN YOU EVER TELL YOUR PEOPLE IT'S OKAY TO ROB AND KILL AND 09:50 STEAL - I MEAN, THAT'S ABSURD. 09:52 AND THEN HE LOOKED AT THEM AND SAID, 'WELL YES!' 09:55 AND THEN HE SAID, 'NINE OF THEM!' 09:58 HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE HEARD PASTORS PREACH THAT WE'RE NOT 10:02 UNDER THE LAW ANYMORE - WE DON'T HAVE TO KEEP THE LAW 10:04 IT'S - HAVE YOU HEARD THAT? 10:06 YEAH. 10:07 DO YOU KNOW WHY THEY PREACH THAT? 10:09 THERE'S ONE COMMANDMENT THAT IS AN ANNOYANCE. 10:13 IT'S THE SABBATH. 10:15 AND THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN GET RID OF THE SABBATH - BECAUSE 10:17 IT'S RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE - IT BEGINS WITH THE WORD 'REMEMBER' 10:20 - OH, AND I ASKED THIS PASTOR, I SAID, 'SO YOU'RE TELLING US THAT 10:23 THE ONE COMMANDMENT GOD WANTS US TO FORGET IS THE ONLY ONE THAT 10:26 BEGINS WITH THE WORD 'REMEMBER' - THAT'S THE ONE WE'RE SUPPOSED 10:28 TO FORGET?' DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE? 10:32 AND YET, YOU KNOW, FRIENDS, I COULD PROBABLY GO TO JUST ABOUT 10:36 ANY MAJOR DENOMINATION HERE IN AUSTRALIA AND I COULD STAND UP 10:40 AND I COULD PREACH A SERMON ON YOU NEED TO HONOR YOUR FATHER 10:46 AND MOTHER AND MOST FOLKS WOULD SAY 'AMEN.' 10:48 AND SO I COULD PREACH ABOUT NOT HAVING OTHER GODS AND PEOPLE 10:54 WOULD SAY 'AMEN.' MOST CHURCHES WOULD JUST 10:55 LOVE IT. 10:56 THEY'D SHAKE MY HAND AND SAY, 'GOOD SERMON.' 10:58 BUT THEN IF I WERE TO SAY, 'REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY' - 11:02 'OH, WE'RE NOT UNDER THE LAW.' THAT WOULD SHAKE PEOPLE UP. 11:05 DO YOU SEE AN INCONSISTENCY THERE? 11:09 WHAT DID I TELL YOU? 11:10 TIME IS THE STUFF THAT LIFE IS MADE OF. 11:14 THE DEVIL KNOWS THAT OUR QUALITY TIME WITH GOD, THAT BLESSED TIME 11:17 WITH GOD, IS GOING TO INFUSE YOU WITH POWER AND HE'S TRYING TO 11:20 ERODE THAT. 11:22 GOD DIDN'T BLESS EVERY DAY. 11:24 YOU KNOW, I RECOGNIZE THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO BE 11:26 IN HEAVEN THAT WENT TO CHURCH ON THE WRONG DAY. 11:28 DID YOU ALL HEAR ME? 11:30 I BELIEVE THERE ARE GOING TO BE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT MAYBE 11:33 BROKE SOME OF GOD'S COMMANDMENTS UNKNOWINGLY. 11:37 HOW MANY BELIEVE KING DAVID WILL BE IN HEAVEN? 11:40 HOW MANY WIVES DID HE HAVE? 11:43 TOO MANY. 11:46 SOMEONE ASKED BENJAMIN FRANKLIN ONE TIME, 'CAN YOU SHOW ME A 11:49 SCRIPTURE SOMEWHERE THAT SAYS THAT A MAN CAN'T HAVE 11:51 MORE THAN ONE WIFE?' AND BEN FRANKLIN SAID, 'YES. 11:54 NO MAN CAN SERVE TWO MASTERS.' THAT CAME REALLY EASY. 12:02 BUT DAVID'LL BE IN HEAVEN - TOO MANY WIVES. 12:03 WILL THERE BE PEOPLE IN HEAVEN THAT HAD SLAVES? 12:06 ABRAHAM HAD SLAVES - HE'LL BE IN HEAVEN. 12:10 THERE'LL BE PEOPLE IN HEAVEN WHO MAYBE WENT TO CHURCH THE WRONG 12:11 DAY AS THEIR SABBATH. 12:13 GOD WINKS AT OUR IGNORANCE. 12:14 BUT WHEN WE KNOW THE TRUTH - IF I GET EXTRA WIVES, I CAN 12:18 PROMISE YOU I'M NOT GOING TO BE THERE BECAUSE I - FIRST OF ALL, 12:20 MY WIFE WILL KILL ME. 12:21 SECONDLY, I KNOW BETTER, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? 12:25 AND SO, I CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE IT'S A SIN AGAINST WHAT MY 12:27 KNOWLEDGE IS. 12:29 GOD WANTS US TO WALK IN THE LIGHT THAT HE'S GIVEN US. 12:32 SHOULDN'T I KEEP SUNDAY TO HONOR THE RESURRECTION? 12:36 WELL, THE LORD'S GIVEN US SOMETHING TO HONOR THE 12:37 RESURRECTION - IT'S NOT A NEW SABBATH. 12:40 IT SAYS IN ROMANS CHAPTER 6, VERSE 4, "THEREFORE, WE ARE 12:43 BURIED WITH HIM THROUGH BAPTISM INTO DEATH. 12:45 THAT JUST AS CHRIST WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD BY THE GLORY OF 12:49 THE FATHER" - OOPS, I JUMPED TWO SLIDES - "EVEN SO, WE SHOULD 12:52 WALK IN A NEWNESS OF LIFE." 12:54 GOD'S GIVEN US BAPTISM AS A SIGN OF DEATH, BURIAL, AND 12:57 RESURRECTION, NOT A NEW SABBATH. 12:59 WHY WOULD HE CHANGE THE SABBATH? 13:00 WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SEVENTH DAY WHERE HE HAD TO MOVE 13:02 IT TO THE FIRST DAY? 13:04 OUR GOD DIDN'T MAKE A MISTAKE. 13:05 WHEN GOD CREATED THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT WAS THERE SIN IN THE 13:08 WORLD YET? 13:11 WAS THE WORLD PERFECT WHEN GOD FIRST INSTITUTED THE SABBATH? 13:13 HE DIDN'T MAKE ANY MISTAKES. 13:15 THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. 13:16 IT DOESN'T NEED CHANGING. 13:18 WE NEED CHANGING. 13:20 THAT'S THE GOSPEL. 13:22 WELL IF SUNDAY-KEEPING ISN'T IN THE BIBLE, WHOSE IDEA WAS IT 13:25 ANYWAY, WHERE'D IT COME FROM? 13:27 NOW, YOU CAN GO BACK TO THE TIME OF CONSTANTINE - NOW THIS IS 13:30 THREE HUNDRED YEARS AFTER CHRIST - THREE HUNDRED YEARS AFTER 13:35 CHRIST WHEN CHRISTIANITY WAS FINALLY LEGALIZED IN THE ROMAN 13:38 EMPIRE BY CONSTANTINE - THE ROMAN DAY OF WORSHIP WAS THE 13:42 DAY OF THE SUN, WHICH IS WHERE SUNDAY GETS ITS NAME - THEY 13:45 WORSHIPED THE SUN, PRINCIPALLY, IN ROME - THAT WAS THEIR MAIN 13:47 GOD AS DID THE GREEKS AND AS DID THE EGYPTIANS AND AS DID 13:50 THE BABYLONIANS. 13:52 THE PRINCIPAL DAY OF WORSHIP WAS THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, 13:54 THE DAY OF THE SUN - NOT SO WITH GOD'S PEOPLE - IT WAS THE 13:57 SEVENTH DAY, THE LAST DAY OF THE WEEK. 14:00 CONSTANTINE THOUGHT, 'LOOK, I WANT TO UNITE THE PAGANS AND THE 14:03 CHRISTIANS, LET'S HAVE A UNIFORM DAY OF WORSHIP.' 14:06 AND SO, YOU CAN READ THIS EDICT - BY THE WAY, I'M READING FROM 14:08 ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA - "THE EARLIEST RECOGNITION OF THE 14:12 OBSERVANCE OF SUNDAY IS A CONSTITUTION OF CONSTANTINE IN 14:17 321 AD ENACTING THAT ALL COURTS OF JUSTICE, INHABITANTS OF 14:21 TOWNS, AND WORKSHOPS WERE TO BE AT REST ON SUNDAY." 14:26 THAT'S NOT MY CHURCH TEACHING, IT'S HISTORY FRIENDS. 14:30 ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA. 14:32 AND GRADUALLY, THE MAIN CHURCH IN TOWN WAS THE ROMAN CATHOLIC 14:35 CHURCH AND THE ORTHODOX CHURCH THAT SPLIT AWAY - 14:38 BUT CONSTANTINE INFLUENCED THEM BOTH. 14:42 NOW, SOMEONE'S GOING TO SAY, 'WELL, PASTOR DOUG, DOESN'T THE 14:44 BIBLE SAY IN THE NEW TESTAMENT WE DON'T NEED TO - 14:47 DON'T LET ANYONE JUDGE YOU ABOUT THE SABBATH 14:49 ANYMORE, IT'S DONE AWAY WITH.' AND THEY QUOTE THIS VERSE, 14:52 COLOSSIANS CHAPTER 2 - SOMEONE'S GOING TO RUN TO YOU WITH THIS - 14:55 OR ROMANS 14, ONE OF THE TWO. 14:57 AND THIS IS WHAT IT SAYS, "BLOTTING OUT THE HANDWRITINGS 15:00 OF ORDINANCES THAT WAS AGAINST US, WHICH WAS CONTRARY TO US, 15:05 AND TOOK IT OUT OF THE WAY NAILING IT TO THE CROSS, HAVING 15:09 SPOILED PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS. 15:12 HE MADE A SHOW OF THEM OPENLY TRIUMPHING OVER THEM IN IT." 15:15 HERE - HERE'S THE PART YOU ESPECIALLY NEED TO NOTICE - "LET 15:18 NO MAN, THEREFORE, JUDGE YOU IN FOOD, OR IN DRINK, OR IN RESPECT 15:23 OF A HOLIDAY OR THE NEW MOON, OR SABBATH DAYS" - AND THEY STOP 15:28 RIGHT THERE. 15:29 FIRST OF ALL, DOES IT SAY 'THE SABBATH DAY'? 15:31 OR IS IT SABBATH DAYS - SMALL 'S' - PLURAL? 15:35 SABBATH DAYS. 15:36 DID THE JEWS HAVE OTHER SABBATH DAYS? 15:39 ANNUAL SABBATH DAYS THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WEEKLY 15:42 COMMANDMENT? 15:44 THEY WERE ANNUAL FEASTS - THEY CAME YEARLY, NOT WEEKLY. 15:49 THEY WERE NOT PART OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. 15:51 NOW, JUST SO YOU KNOW THE CONTEXT OF THIS VERSE, I BELIEVE 15:54 WE SHOULD DO A THOROUGH EXEGESIS OF THIS. 15:58 IT SAYS, "THESE SABBATH DAYS ARE SHADOWS OF THINGS TO COME." 16:02 THESE ARE THE OLD JEWISH CEREMONIAL SABBATH DAYS LIKE 16:06 PASSOVER AND FEAST OF TRUMPETS - YOU'VE HEARD OF YOM KIPPUR AND 16:09 DAY OF ATONEMENT - THESE WERE THE ANNUAL SABBATH DAYS 16:12 THE JEWS HAD. 16:13 CHRISTIANS DON'T NEED TO KEEP THOSE, THEY WERE SHADOWS - 16:16 THAT'S THE CONTEXT. 16:17 DON'T LET SOMEONE ABUSE THAT VERSE AND TELL YOU THAT GOD IS 16:20 GETTING RID OF ONE OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. 16:23 LOOK AT HOW WE BREAK DOWN THAT VERSE AGAIN. 16:26 IT SAYS, IN 2 CHRONICLES 33, VERSE 8, "THEY ARE CAREFUL TO DO 16:30 ALL THAT I HAVE COMMANDED THEM" - GOD SAYS - "ACCORDING 16:34 TO ALL THE LAW AND THE STATUTES AND THE ORDINANCES BY THE 16:37 HAND OF MOSES." 16:38 IT SAYS, 'DON'T LET ANYONE JUDGE YOU CONCERNING THE ORDINANCES 16:42 BY THE HAND OF MOSES. 16:45 THE TEN COMMANDMENTS WERE NOT WRITTEN BY THE HAND OF MOSES. 16:48 IT WAS THE FINGER OF GOD. 16:51 AND HE SAID, "TAKE THIS BOOK OF THE LAW" - THIS IS NOT THE TEN 16:53 COMMANDMENTS, IT WAS A BOOK - NOT THE TABLETS OF STONE - AND 16:57 THEY WERE TO PUT IT BESIDE THE COVENANT OF THE LORD YOUR GOD - 17:01 IN A POCKET OUTSIDE THE ARK. 17:02 THE JEWISH LAWS WERE THERE, THEY WERE NOT IN THE ARK, 17:06 THEY HAD PASSED AWAY - THEY WERE ON PAPER. 17:08 "THAT IT MIGHT BE A WITNESS AGAINST YOU." NOTICE THOSE WORDS 17:11 'AGAINST YOU.' NOW I'M GOING TO JUMP BACK AND SHOW YOU 17:14 COLOSSIANS CHAER 14 AGAIN. 17:16 WHAT SABBATH DAYS IS HE TELLING US NOT TO LET ANYONE JUDGE US 17:20 REGARDING? 17:21 I HOPE YOU CAN SEE THIS OKAY, IT SAYS, "BLOTTING OUT THE 17:23 HANDWRITING" - THE LAW OF MOSES WAS WRITTEN BY THE HAND OF MOSES 17:29 - "THE ORDINANCES THAT WERE AGAINST US." 17:32 SO, JUST CONTEXTUALIZE 'WHAT IS PAUL TALKING ABOUT?' 17:35 THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD? 17:37 THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK? 17:38 OR IS HE TALKING ABOUT THE JEWISH SABBATH DAYS? 17:40 AGAIN, NOTICE, 'ORDINANCES, HAND OF MOSES, BOOK OF THE LAW, 17:43 AGAINST YOU' - THE VERY SAME WORDING. 17:46 THE IS WHAT PAUL IS TALKING ABOUT - IT'S THE 17:48 CEREMONIAL SABBATHS. 17:50 IS THAT CLEAR TO YOU? 17:51 DO YOU KNOW WHAT CONVINCED ME ON THIS SUBJECT, FRIENDS? 17:55 YOU'VE GOT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, YOU'VE GOT THE CEREMONIAL LAW - 17:58 WHEN I FIRST LEARNED THIS I BEGAN TO VISIT DIFFERENT 18:00 CHURCHES. 18:01 AND I DIDN'T WANT TO BE AN ODDBALL, I WAS ALREADY PRETTY 18:04 ODD, AND SO D GO TO THE DIFFERENT PASTORS AND EVERY 18:07 PASTOR I ASKED ABOUT THE TRUTH REGARDING THE SABBATH, THEY GAVE 18:12 ME DIFFERENT ANSWERS. 18:14 AND I KNOW THERE ARE GOOD PEOPLE IN MANY CHURCHES. 18:16 I HAVE TAUGHT AND PREACHED AND WORSHIPED IN NAZARENE CHURCHES, 18:20 ASSEMBLY OF GOD, PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES, FOUR-SQUARE CHURCHES, 18:24 BAPTIST CHURCHES, CATHOLIC CHURCHES, METHODIST CHURCHES - I 18:26 MEAN, I'VE BEEN TO HUNDREDS OF DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS, 18:30 SO I KNOW WHAT PEOPLE BELIEVE. 18:32 ONE PASTOR SAID, 'BROTHER DOUG, YOU DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT 18:35 THE SABBATH ANYMORE, JESUS ROSE THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, 18:37 THAT IS OUR NEW SABBATH. 18:39 I SAID, 'WELL, THAT SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL PASTOR,' I SAID, 18:41 'DO WE HAVE A VERSE?' 'WELL,' HE SAID, 'THERE'S NOT 18:44 REALLY A VERSE THAT TELLS US THAT, BUT WE'VE GOT 18:46 A LONG-STANDING TRADITION.' THAT DIDN'T CUT IT WITH ME, 18:50 YOU KNOW WHY? 18:52 WHEN GOD GAVE THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT, HE SPOKE IT WITH 18:55 HIS OWN VOICE AND WROTE IT WITH HIS OWN FINGER. 18:58 IF HE WAS GOING TO CHANGE A LAW THAT PEOPLE WERE KEEPING EVERY 19:01 WEEK, THE NEW TESTAMENT WOULD BE FILLED WITH DEBATE. 19:05 DO YOU THINK IF THE WEEKLY SABBATH - ONE OF THE 19:07 COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, WRITTEN IN STONE, SPOKEN BY HIS VOICE - 19:10 HAD BEEN CHANGED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, WHY IS IT SILENT? 19:14 BECAUSE IT DIDN'T CHANGE. 19:16 THE - JESUS KEPT IT. 19:18 THE APOSTLES KEPT IT. 19:20 THE EARLY CHURCH KEPT IT. 19:21 IT WASN'T UNTIL HUNDREDS OF YEARS LATER THEY BEGAN 19:24 TO CHANGE IT. 19:26 AND NOT ONLY DID THEY CHANGE THE TIME, THEY CHANGED THE WAY SO 19:29 THAT PEOPLE AREN'T REALLY KEEPING ANYTHING ANYMORE. 19:32 WHY DID GOD MAKE THE SABBATH ANYWAY? 19:36 TAKE AWAY A DAY OF RECREATION FROM US? 19:38 NO, IT'S ACTUALLY A REAL DAY OF RE-CREATION. 19:43 THAT'S WHERE YOU REALLY EXPERIENCE RE-CREATION - 19:45 THAT BLESSED TIME WITH GOD. 19:47 EZEKIEL 20, VERSE 12, "MOREOVER I GAVE THEM MY SABBATHS TO BE A 19:51 SIGN BETWEEN ME AND THEM, SAYS THE LORD, THAT THEY MIGHT KNOW 19:55 THAT I AM THE LORD WHO SANCTIFIES THEM." 19:59 NOW, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I NEED SANCTIFYING. 20:02 BECAUSE GOD COULD SANCTIFY THIS DAY, HE'S ALSO SAYING, 20:06 'I CAN SANCTIFY YOU.' HOW MANY OF YOU NEED YOUR HEARTS 20:10 SANCTIFIED, MADE HOLY, MADE NEW? 20:12 NOT ONLY THAT, IT'S A MEMORIAL OF CREATION. 20:16 SEE, EVERY SABBATH DAY WE'RE REMEMBERING THAT GOD CREATED 20:18 EVERYTHING IN SIX DAYS. 20:21 DO WE STILL NEED TO BE REMINDED HE CAN RECREATE US? 20:24 EVERY SABBATH WE REMEMBER THAT. 20:26 NOW, I KNOW WHAT SOME OF YOU ARE THINKING RIGHT NOW. 20:28 YOU SAY, 'PASTOR DOUG, BOY I'VE LEARNED A LOT OF THINGS VERY 20:32 QUICKLY. 20:34 I NEED TO PROCESS THIS.' WELL, THE LORD WANTS YOU TO BE 20:36 ABLE TO PROCESS IT TOO, BUT THE FIRST THING THAT I'D LIKE TO 20:40 APPEAL THAT YOU DO - IF WHAT I'M SAYING MAKES SENSE, SAY 'YOU 20:45 KNOW, THIS SOUNDS LIKE TRUTH TO ME' ACCEPT THAT. 20:50 DON'T START TRYING TO RATIONALIZE AWAY THE TRUTH. 20:53 ACCEPT THE TRUTH. 20:54 DON'T START THINKING, 'I DON'T KNOW HOW IN THE WORLD - WHAT'S 20:56 THIS GOING TO MEAN TO MY LIFE?' SEE, WHEN I TALK ABOUT DIFFERENT 20:59 POINTS OF THEOLOGY THAT JUST CHANGE YOUR THINKING, THAT'S ALL 21:02 IT DOES IS SOMETIMES IT JUST CHANGES YOUR THINKING. 21:04 BUT WHEN PEOPLE HEAR THE TRUTH ABOUT WORSHIPING GOD ON THE 21:07 SABBATH, IT AFFECTS OUR LIVES IF WE'RE GOING TO KEEP IT, 21:10 DOESN'T IT? 21:12 IT AFFECTS THE DAYS OF OUR WEEK. 21:14 GROWING UP, SOMETIMES IT WAS EASIER FOR MY RICH FATHER TO 21:16 SAY, 'I'M BUSY, HERE'S TEN DOLLARS, GO DO SOMETHING.' 21:21 I WANTED MY FATHER'S TIME AND IT WAS EASIER FOR HIM TO 21:24 GIVE ME TEN DOLLARS THAN TO GIVE ME A DAY. 21:28 AND, YOU KNOW, NOW THAT HE'S GONE, WHAT DO YOU THINK I 21:30 REALLY MISS? 21:31 THOSE TEN DOLLARS? 21:33 OR TIME? 21:35 GOD WANTS YOUR TIME. 21:37 A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY, 'I LOVE YOU LORD, I LOVE YOU LORD.' 21:39 AND WE'VE GOT BUMPER STICKERS IN THE STATES THAT SAY, 21:41 'IF YOU LOVE JESUS, HONK. 21:42 HONK YOUR HORN.' WE'VE GOT A LOT OF CHRISTIANS 21:45 OUT THERE THAT JUST HONK. 21:46 'HALLELUJAH' - HONK, HONK - 'I LOVE YOU LORD.' 21:49 AND HE SAYS, 'LOOK, IF YOU LOVE ME, DON'T HONK. 21:53 WORSHIP ME. 21:54 GIVE ME YOUR TIME.' WORDS ARE CHEAP. 21:57 TIME IS PRECIOUS. 22:00 ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT'S TRUE AND PRAY GOD WILL TELL YOU WHERE TO 22:03 GO NEXT. 22:04 PRAY GOD'LL TELL YOU WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. 22:06 DOES THAT SOUND REASONABLE? 22:08 BUT DON'T LIE TO YOURSELF. 22:10 THAT'S WHEN PEOPLE START GOING DOWN THE WRONG ROAD. 22:14 DOES SABBATH-KEEPING REALLY AFFECT ME PERSONALLY? 22:19 JESUS SAID, 'COME UNTO ME ALL YOU WHO ARE LABOR - WHO LABOR - 22:24 AND ARE HEAVY-LADEN AND I'LL GIVE YOU' - WHAT? 22:27 HE SAID, 'I'LL GIVE YOU REST.' THAT'S WHAT THE WORD SABBATH IS 22:31 ALL ABOUT. 22:32 DO YOU KNOW THE VERY WORD 'SABBATH' - IF YOU BREAK IT DOWN 22:35 IN ITS MOST PRIMITIVE HEBREW IT'S TALKING ABOUT SA - IT HAS 22:41 TO DO WITH SHA - IN HEBREW YOU DON'T SAY 'SA' IT'S 'SHA' - 22:44 SHABBAT - IT COMES FROM THE SAME ROOT WORD AS 'SHALOM' OR PEACE. 22:49 IN HEBREW 'ABBA' - WHO KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS? 22:53 FATHER. 22:54 IT'S SAYING - AND THE REST OF THE WORD 'AT' IS TALKING ABOUT 22:57 HOUSE. 22:59 IT'S SAYING, 'PEACE IN THE FATHER'S HOUSE.' 23:03 JESUS SAID, 'I'VE GONE TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU. 23:05 IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE ARE MANY MANSIONS.' 23:08 FRIENDS, THIS IS JUST SOMETHING VERY ELEMENTARY AND THE WORLD 23:11 HAS BEEN BAMBOOZLED - IT'S A HOAX THAT'S BEEN PERPETRATED, 23:16 NOT ON THE WORLD ONLY, BUT ON THE CHURCH. 23:19 AND IN THE LAST DAYS GOD IS PEELING AWAY THE DECEPTION THAT 23:23 HAS CAUGHT SO MANY AND HE'S CALLING PEOPLE BACK. 23:26 JESUS SAID, I'VE GOT MANY SHEEP THAT ARE NOT IN THIS FOLD. 23:30 HE'S GOT SHEEP EVERYWHERE, BUT BEFORE HE COMES BACK, THERE'S 23:33 ONLY TWO CHOICES - WE'VE GOT THE SEAL OF GOD - WE'VE GOT THE MARK 23:35 OF THE BEAST AND THEY BOTH REVOLVE AROUND WORSHIP. 23:38 AND PEOPLE BY THE MILLNS ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE BEING CALLED 23:41 TOGETHER BACK TO BIBLICAL TRUTH. 23:45 I'M NOT ASKING YOU ABOUT DENOMINATIONALISM, I'M ASKING 23:48 YOU TO FOLLOW THE WORD OF GOD, FRIENDS. 23:51 IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE A BIBLE CHRISTIAN AND IF YOU CAN 23:53 UNDERSTAND LAST-DAY PROPHECY, ONE OF THE THINGS WE'VE GOT TO 23:56 GET RIGHT IS HAVE WE GIVEN GOD OUR HEARTS? 23:59 DO WE WORSHIP HIM? 24:01 WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE THAT REST THAT JESUS OFFERS? 24:05 THE CHRISTIAN LIFE IS SUMMED UP IN TWO GREAT STATEMENTS OF JESUS 24:09 YOU CAN FIND IN THE BOOK OF MATTHEW. 24:12 MATTHEW 11, JESUS SAID, "COME UNTO ME," - IN VERSE 28 - 24:16 "ALL YOU WHO LABOR AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST." 24:19 THAT'S WHAT THE SABBATH'S ABOUT. 24:20 IT'S A TIME OF REST. 24:22 AND THEN THE OTHER GREAT COMMISSION IN MATTHEW 28, 'GO YE 24:27 THEREFORE AND TELL ALL NATIONS.' GO AND TEACH. 24:31 THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING. 24:32 I'M INVITING PEOPLE TO COME TO JESUS AND FIND REST AND I'M 24:35 GOING EVERYWHERE I CAN AND TEACHING THEM BECAUSE THIS IS 24:39 THE TRUTH THAT WILL SET YOU FREE. 24:41 THIS WILL BRING YOU PEACE, IT'LL BRING YOU REST. 24:43 DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO YOU THAT THIS IS IMPORTANT? 24:47 THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, ARE THEY IMPORTANT? 24:49 WHEN GOD SAYS, 'REMEMBER' DOES HE MEAN REMEMBER? 24:52 YOU NOTICE HE DOESN'T SAY, 'REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY AND 24:55 MAKE IT HOLY.' IT ALREADY IS HOLY. 24:59 HE SAID, 'I MADE IT HOLY, I WANT YOU TO KEEP IT 25:01 THE WAY I MADE IT.' >>STAY TUNED. 25:05 WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH THIS WEEK'S SPECIAL OFFER. 25:16 >>I THINK WE'RE UNDER THE DELUSION THAT YOU CAN BE A 25:19 HEALTHY CHRISTIAN AND NOT PARTICIPATE IN CHURCH. 25:25 APPROXIMATELY 150,000 PEOPLE LEAVE THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH IN 25:29 NORTH AMERICA EVERY WEEK. 25:35 ONE OF THE BIG REASONS THAT PEOPLE ARE LEAVING IS BECAUSE 25:38 THEY JOINED FOR THE WRONG REASONS. 25:44 >>IN SIX DAYS GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH. 25:49 FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS MAN HAS WORSHIPED GOD ON THE SEVENTH DAY 25:52 OF THE WEEK. 25:53 NOW, EACH WEEK, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WORSHIP ON THE FIRST DAY. 25:58 WHAT HAPPENED? 25:59 WHY DID GOD CREATE A DAY OF REST? 26:02 DOES IT REALLY MATTER WHAT DAY WE WORSHIP? 26:04 WHO WAS BEHIND THIS GREAT SHIFT? 26:06 DISCOVER THE TRUTH BEHIND GOD'S LAW AND HOW IT WAS CHANGED. 26:10 VISIT SABBATHTRUTH.COM. 26:14 >>EVERY DAY PEOPLE SPEND ABOUT 7 HOURS AND 45 MINUTES SLEEPING, 26:18 17 SECONDS BRUSHING THEIR TEETH, 1 HOUR AND 15 MINUTES EATING, 26:22 4 HOURS AND 50 MINUTES WATCHING TV, AND 33 MINUTES ON THE PHONE. 26:26 WITH ONLY 24 HOURS IN THE DAY, WHERE DOES GOD FIT IN? 26:30 MOVING MOUNTAINS. 26:31 A NEW DAILY DEVOTIONAL. 26:32 IT'S ABOUT UNDERSTANDING GOD AND BUILDING YOUR FAITH. 26:35 WITH 366 SHORT STORIES TO INSPIRE AND ENCOURAGE, YOUR DAY 26:39 WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. 26:40 AFBOOKSTORE.COM. 26:42 LIFE-CHANGING CHRISTIAN RESOURCES. 26:45 >>THANK YOU FOR JOINING US FOR THIS BROADCAST. 26:47 IF YOU'VE MISSED ANY OF OUR AMAZING FACTS PROGRAMS, VISIT 26:49 OUR WEBSITE AT AMAZINGFACTS.ORG. 26:52 THERE YOU'LL FIND AN ARCHIVE OF ALL OUR TELEVISION AND RADIO 26:54 PROGRAMS INCLUDING AMAZING FACTS PRESENTS, CENTRAL STUDY HOUR, 26:58 EVERLASTING GOSPEL, BIBLE ANSWERS LIVE, AND WONDERS IN THE 27:02 WORD.
