Saturday Sabbath or Sunday Sabbath – Which One Should We Be Observing?

In a word, neither and I know this remark will stir up all kinds of negative emotions in cult followers and their opponents in the Cainite-Judeo-Christian Religion, alike (see link No. 1 below).

Let’s be clear, many cult followers love to promote their Hebrew/Judaic brand of ‘Christianity’ by observing the Hebrew Sabbath (which btw is not a Jewish Sabbath, see link No.s 2 and 3 below), with many of them observing it from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday. I know this to be true, because I used to observe it this way myself, when I was a member of Armstrong’s Worldwide Church of God or, better, his ‘three tithes’ money grabbing, criminal, scam organisation.

Proper little Pharisees we were, complete with our superiority complexes, looking down on all those inferior satanic mainstream Christians, keeping their blasphemous Roman Cult (first day of the week) Sunday Sabbath. How proud and self-righteous we were, citing our knowledge of Scripture and ancient history. You know, all about the events that took place at The Council of Nicea in 325 AC, where the Christian Religious, Hellenising dogs and counterfeiters changed the Sabbath from the seventh day of the week to the first day of the week. (Again, see link No. 1 below).

Let me explain here, for this ‘correct’ Sabbath day keeping issue was crucial to Armstrong’s belief system, because he made the claim that “seventh day Sabbath keeping” was the pivotal identifying sign that his church was the true Church of God – all the other ‘churches’ and demon-inations (divisions) keeping a Sunday Sabbath were apostate Romanised churches. It, too, was my anchor to that claim as well, so, likewise, I believed as Armstrong did, such was my delusion.

Now all this is very interesting, because here, within this concept, we have a double whammy of error, or a compounding of error(s) by these deluded people. The problems with these ideas, that is, for the counterfeiters, were two fold: 1) there was the New Covenant Biblical Truth that regulated Sabbath keeping had been nailed to the cross with the rest of The Law and which these men of the Cainite-Judeo-Christian Religion did not understand, and still don’t to this day, (see link No. 4 below). 2) Now if the first point is true, and it is, why were they going to the trouble of changing the day the Sabbath was held on, what difference did it make, and who were these people that were obviously, bringing pressure to bear with their seventh day Sabbath keeping, and influencing their ideas to change it? Who were these people that troubled the counterfeiters at Nicea? They must have considered them a threat or they would not have behaved in such a way. Why did the Nicea attendees wish to distance themselves from these Judaising Sabbath observers? Easy, through what we call today, anti-Semitism. These early Roman Catholics blamed the Jews for the death of Yashua Messiah (Jesus Christ), which was true, and so began the so-called persecution of Jews by counterfeit Hellenising Religious Christians. From here on in, anything that they deemed to be Judaic was frowned upon as blasphemous and, after Nicea, was classified as heretical. Take note, this is in the literal sense, not a Spiritual sense, for Spiritually we all killed Yashua Messiah (The Lord Jesus Christ), for we are all born into this world as sinners. However, Yashua Messiah had to come and take all the sins of mankind with Him to the cross.

OK, so Rome versus Jewry, Jewry versus Rome is nothing new, nor is there anything revelatory in what I have said on this subject, but what about these Judaic ‘Christians’, in the first, second and third centuries, that were such a thorn in the flesh of the men of the Cainite-Judeo-Christian Religion? Were they, for instance, only Jews that were members of this sect? No, they had Israelite and non-Israelite adherents too, but were they True Believers? Were they the real thing or the real Church as opposed to the counterfeiters at Nicea? No, if anything, they were worse, but who were they, does Holy Scripture make mention of them and what made them worse than the counterfeiters? In answer to the first questions; no they were not the real thing and nor were they true believers whilst they remained deceived by this evil teaching. In answer to the third question, yes, of course the Holy Scriptures mentions them and we find them in the book of Galatians where Paul refers to them as fools:

Galatians 3:1 (MCV) O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not attentively hearken to The Truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?

In addition to the above verse, why were they fools and what made them worse than the Christian Religious counterfeiters? Well, if we go to Galatians once more, we will find out:

Galatians 1:6 (KJV) I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you into The Grace of Christ unto another gospel:

Now straight away we can see why they are fools, they have been ‘removed’ from Yashua Messiah (the Lord Jesus Christ), that is, removed from belief solely in Him, and swiftly. That means they didn’t hang around, so stupid were they. This means, also, that no sooner were they baptised into Yashua Messiah they had upped sticks and transferred their faith to another gospel, and rejected Yashua Messiah’s Grace at the same time. How dumb is that? I’ll tell you, it’s very dumb indeed, because I’ve been there and done it myself, although I had not been birthed into The Truth prior to my membership of the cult, I was a greenhorn, so I hadn’t deserted Yashua Messiah in order to join, I had gone straight into error from the get-go. Never-the-less, please take it from me, and don’t be dumb and foolish by falling for any Judaiser’s non-Gospel poison.

Next we have Paul declaring that this ‘gospel’ isn’t a gospel at all, it’s evil bad news, not The Good News:

Galatians 1:7 (KJV) Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert The Gospel of Christ.

And Armstrong was such a man:

“You have probably heard that you are saved by Grace – Oh my friends what poppycock.”

— Herbert W. Armstrong

Furthermore, we can also see that in the first century there were some who would and did pervert The Lord’s Gospel message. Who were these people, and how did they pervert the Gospel? Paul, in Galatians, tells us who they were, they were evil creatures who infiltrated the church to spy on the brethren and witness the freedom they were experiencing and enjoying under His Grace:

Galatians 2:4 (KJV) And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty freedom which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage. (Strike-through mine)

Notice, that they might bring us into bondage – the bondage of what? Why, the bondage of creatures of the circumcision, and what did circumcision represent, or what did it symbolise? Easy, the whole Mosaic Law, summarised by the Ten Commandments, with all its minor rules and regulations as written down in the book of Leviticus, which included The Law of keeping the seventh day Sabbath. Sabbath keeping is law keeping which ever way we cut this folks and especially if we make it binding on other people.

Philippians 3:2 (MCV) Beware of Judaising mongrel dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the circumcision.

Moreover, the Holy Scriptures are very definite about keeping days Holy and how we should go about observing them, if we wish. Basically its about freedom and voluntary agreement between brothers and sisters and about when they decide which day they wish to keep Holy to The Lord. Individually we can keep any day we like, or none at all, if that’s what we want to do.

Colossians 2:16 (KJV) Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an Holy Day, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath [days]:

There we are: let no man judge you, which means let no man determine or dictate which days you keep. We are now free to decide for ourselves under His Grace which days we keep and, if none at all, then so be it.

Colossians 2:13-14 (KJV) And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath He quickened (made Spiritual) together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 Blotting out The Handwriting of Ordinances (THE WHOLE LAW) that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross. (Brackets mine)

The above verses are telling us straight! regulated Sabbath keeping on Saturday (the seventh day of the week) or any other day of the week, and made binding on believers, is Old Covenant legalism (PHARISAICAL JUDAISM), and not required under the New Covenant Law of GRACE!!

Can we now see why these Christian Religious counterfeiters of the Cainite-Judeo-Christian Religion wished to separate themselves from the Judaisers?

Yet that didn’t make ‘em right, because they still wanted their own form of legalism and religion, with all the rules and regulations that went with it.

However, they didn’t want to be seen as a branch of Judaism, due to their prejudice and self-righteousness. So, in order to not be outdone they moved the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday where it has remained to this day. As you can now see this is just one satanic religion versus another satanic religion, proving that the Devil is not divided, and has nothing to do with living under Yashua Messiah’s (the Lord Jesus Christ’s) glorious Saving Grace.

I therefore hope and trust you can now see the futility and blasphemy of any form of regulated and religiously imposed Sabbath keeping.

The Corrupting Embellishment and Mythical Fantasy of Matthew 27:52-53

OK, so here we go again, with yet more corruptions by addition to The King James Bible. This one, I have to admit, has always bugged me, due to its sensationalist nature. It really does read as if it was faked, that is, first century fake news. Moreover, it reads as if it was written by a BBC or CNN lying media whore, so crass and stupid is it.

Matthew 27:52-53 (KJV) And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53 And came out of the graves after His resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

The same passage including the previous and following verses:

Matthew 27:50-54 (KJV) Jesus, when He had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up The Ghost (Spirit). 51 And, behold, the veil of The Temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53 And came out of the graves after His resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. 54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

So let’s see what one or two commentators have to say about it, starting with Adam Clarke and he says:

“It is difficult to account for the transaction mentioned Mat 27:52, Mat 27:53. Some have thought that these two verses have been introduced into the text of Matthew from the gospel of the Nazarenes….”

He goes on to say:

“….by the earthquake several bodies that had been buried were thrown up and exposed to view, and continued above ground until Christ’s Resurrection.

For me that would mean dead bodies lying around for three days and three nights! Does that sound like something The Father would do?

From the https://fdocc.ucoz.com/ Web Page. The specific web page address is: https://fdocc.ucoz.com/index/forgery_mt_27_52b_53/0-79

“THE FORGERY OF MATTHEW 27:52b AND 53

“[Excerpts taken from: Daniel L. McConaughy (Seventh Way Corps), Early Patristic Evidence For The Forgery Of Matthew 27:52b And 53, GMIR (from Aramaic gmr – “to perfect”, presenting the necessary documentation to get back the original, God-inspired Word, by believing on 2 Tim. 2:15), The Way Magazine, May-June 1982]”

According to Daniel L. McConaughy only the second part of Matthew 52 is deemed a forgery, so it’s the part that reads: “And the graves were opened” and is OK as far as he’s concerned. However, I would question that, too, with the question: WHY!? Why would The Father open some graves through the earthquake unless it was to resurrect the occupants of those graves? To expose them just for sake of it would be meaningless, especially as Yashua Messiah has just died and is about to be put in His tomb, not resurrected from it.

Next we have this from E. W. Allen, author of: “St. Matthew, The International Critical Commentary”, from which he states:

“This passage (Matthew 27:52-53) probably comes from… Palestinian traditions… If Christ was the first-fruits of them that slept [as 1 Cor. 15:22-23 declares *], how could His resurrection have been preceded by that of these saints? Under the influence of such idea, the editor adds the caution, “after His resurrection” [which in its previous tampered form seems to have been “after their resurrection”] (Allen, W.C. A Critical and Exegetical Commentary of the Gospel According to Matthew, 3rd ed. Edinburgh: T. and T. Clark, 1912, p. 296).”

I know nothing about ‘Palestinian Traditions’, but as we can see this spurious two verse addition has created its own can of worms over which Biblical scholars have salivated – as they are want to do. However, if it’s for the right reasons and Truth is their agenda, then all kudos to them.

Moreover, the evidence revealed to us here from the above experts renders these verses very dodgy indeed, to say the least, but there is one crucial point that they have all missed, and it’s in the second part of the opening phrase. Did YOU see it? I hope so, but if not, don’t worry, for I will explain: “and many bodies of the saints which slept, arose.”

So what makes a saint, a saint? Being born of God (born again) makes a saint, and what takes place in order for a man or woman to become a saint? Repentance, confession of sins or admission to being a sinner and in need of The Father’s forgiveness, baptism and the gifting of The Holy Spirit. Now who were the first recipients of these tremendous blessings? Yashua Messiah’s twelve Learners (disciples) were the first recipients, in the upper room, and were any of them in their graves when Yashua Messiah died? No, not a single one, so how could there have been any saints in their graves at the time of Yashua Messiah’s crucifixion and death?

You see, dear brothers and sisters, these frauds always shoot themselves in the foot and betray themselves through their ignorance of The Truth. In this example it’s ignorance of what constitutes being A SAINT! This means we know that some Hellenising, religious fantasist was responsible for the penning of these two bogus verses.

OK, so let’s prove the point and write these Holy Scriptures as they should be written in order to reveal The Truth:

Matthew 27:50-52 (KJV) Jesus, when He had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up The Ghost (Spirit). 51 And, behold, the veil of The Temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 52 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

Interesting how it makes good sense with those bogus verses removed eh?

This proves, too, that the bogus verses were gratuitous sensationalist irrelevant religious mumbo jumbo, from the same spiritual mind sets that would later add Mary worship, fake fraudulent saints and transubstantiation to their satanic religious belief system – namely The Roman Cult.
