The Sabbath was made for two reasons; the first was so that man might have rest and the second so that man would be reminded of his God and that he would have something to show to himself his obedience and love to God.

The Sabbath itself is not a thing to be honoured it is only the God that commanded that is important, so if God removes that commandment, then it is no longer important.

Jesus was refering to the fact that the pharisses had turned the sabbath into a legalist ritual by adding all the extra rules and had begun to worship the day and obey all the manmade rules and had lost Gods origional purpose for the day, God made the day for

mans benefit, to rest and soul search and seek him, not be tied down by a bunch of rules

It is not reliable to ask people to tell you what The Bible says. Many people will make up stuff because they don't know what it says, and many will make up stuff because they wish it would not say what it says. You just have to read it for yourself. Read a chapter of Proverbs every day. Proverbs has 31 chapters so you can keep your place by just looking at a calendar. There is no religion or nothing in Proverbs and you don't have to believe anything. Just read every day. When you are comfortable with that, then read the bible from Romans to 2 Thessalonians over and over until you start to remember what it says. That is the part that applies to Christians. Keep reading until you start to notice it says some things that are different from what you have been told it says. Keep reading until you figure out that the bible is more reliable than those people who told you different things. Here is a book to help you to understand the bible. It's a free download and you can get a hard copy at any bible book store: "How To Enjoy The Bible"

When you have a question, write it on a paper and put it in a safe place. Eventually God will send an answer, and then you can retire the paper. I stick my questions on the wall, near the ceiling so they won't get knocked down.

What day is special preparation is made to keep the sabbath holy?

There is no special preparation day for keeping the Sabbath Day holy. Keeping the Sabbath Day holy basically means attending church on Sunday and keeping that day focused on God.Answer:Satan has truly confounded and confused the laws of God and times (Dan.7:25) in the hearts and minds of men since Adam and Eve chose him over their Creator, to worship and obey in the beginning.God's reckoning of a 24-hour day is different from the way man observes it today. With God, the new day begins with the going down of the sun. No "wristwatch" is needed.With man... the new day begins in the satanic "witching hour" of "midnight."With God, the 24-hour day always begins with the "night time" portion in "PREPARATION" for the daylight portion."...And the EVENING and the MORNING were the first day." (Gen.1:5)"...And the EVENING and the MORNING were the second day." (verse 8)See also verses: (13, 19, 23 and 31).The "seventh" day of the week, which God established to remind man of creation and that He is the Creator, is the only day of the week which HE GAVE A NAME."In the end of the SABBATH, as it began to dawn toward the FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK..." (Matt.28:1).Few people, in spite of the global calendar confusion in the world, today, have any difficulty understanding in the above verse in Matthew 28, that it is talking about the days of the week we call "Saturday" (the Sabbath) and "Sunday" (the first day of the week).And the Holy Spirit of God inspired it in the "New Testament"... it's not a verse from the Old. The Holy Spirit either knows (even in these "New Testament times") when the Lord's Sabbath is (on the seventh day)... or it forgot that it was changed to Sunday... and made a mistake in this verse.The "preparation" for the Sabbath, in any event, is difficult for modern man to fathom when his days begin sometime in the middle of the night. From the Lord's perspective, however... the "preparation" of any of our Creator's sabbath days (weekly or annual) is the "night time portion" of that sabbath day, beginning at sundown.

What is meant by the statement the sabbath is made of man and not man for the sabbath?

Jesus said that in reply to some criticism about Him doing certain activities on the sabbath. The idea, as I understand it, is that the sabbath should be of benefit to humans (as in having a day of rest, from hard work), and not something harmful (as in not wanting to save somebody because it happens to be a sabbath and you are "supposed to rest").

When did God establish the sabbath day?

God [Jesus Christ - John 1:3] made the Sabbath day on the day after He recreated the formless and void earth, to sustain man, in six days... on the seventh day."...and God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it [sanctify: to set apart for holy use]: because that in it He had rested from all His work which God created and made." (Gen.2:3)"...The Sabbath was made for man [not the Jews], and not man for the Sabbath: therefore the Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath." (Mark 2:27-28)


What should you avoid doing on a Sunday?

Manual labor should be avoided. However, as Our Lord said, "The Sabbath was made for Man. Man was not made for the Sabbath." I enjoying puttering in the patio and consider it relaxing and not exactly labor. I am sure that an Orthodox Jew might disagree.


What does the bible verse in Matthew chapter 12 7mean?

>The Lord desires mercy not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God not burnt offerings; See Hosea 6:6. If we have a good understanding of the mind and will of God then we would not condemn the innocent. Jesus was defending His disciples against the Pharisees who criticized Him for allowing them to pluck ears of corn to eat on the Sabbath as they walked through the fields. Man was not made for the Sabbath but the Sabbath for man, he stated and then added that the Son of Man was also the Lord of the Sabbath(Mark 2:27-28). The Spirit of the Sabbath law was that man rested one day a week from his labour and devoted his time to God, family and mellowing out; On the other hand the Pharisees were all about the letter of the law. A good example of the blindness and evil intent toward the Son of God read Matthew 12:10-12, "…...Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the Sabbath days." This was not a question to them but a statement, it is lawful to do well on the Sabbath!!>


What did Jesus say when the disciples were picking grain on the sabbath day?

When the Pharisee reacted that Jesus violated the rules of the Sabbath, Jesus then told them about the time of King David. David and his men ate the food of the temple even it was only required for a priest.Abiathar the priest at that time allowed them because Yahweh allowed it. Jesus then told the Pharisee that the Sabbath was made for man not man for the Sabbath.

For Puritans, the Sabbath was a day of strict religious observance and rest. They believed in keeping the Sabbath holy by attending church services, refraining from work, and engaging in activities that focused on worship and spiritual matters. The Sabbath was seen as a time to connect with God, reflect on one's faith, and spend time with family in a pious manner.


Was Jesus accused of working on sabbath?

yes, he healed a man of the sabbath day


Why do you say the Sabbath was made for God when the bible says it was made for man?

The seventh day is said to be Sabbath because a man said it. The seventh day is on Sunday. Another Answer: Look at any calendar and see that the last day is Saturday while the first is Sunday - in most countries. It was God who 'rested' on the Sabbath and made is sacred - a sign between His followers and Him. Mankind is to rest and consider the creation and the Creator. God is to be the center of our thoughts that day. Indeed, the 'week' was given to man by God and no man calculated it or invented it though some have tried to reset the number of days to as few as four and as many as a dozen or so. God never said the Sabbath was made for God.


How did Jesus break the Sabbath?

By healing the sick during Shabbat.Another Answer:Having died for all our sins as a perfect man, never sinning, He could not have broken the Law of God. Jesus explained the spirit of the Law in addition to the strict letter of it the Jews were exacerbating. Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath as He gave it to man as a reminder of the future rest promised and to recall all that He did in the Creation. He explained that the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath. If an emergency or truly pressing need arose (not something ordinary that could wait), it was proper to address it rather than allow unnecessary suffering or worse. Yet, they judged Him:John 7:22-24New King James Version (NKJV) 22 Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath? 24Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."Matthew 12:10-12New King James Version (NKJV) 10 And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand. And they asked Him, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?"-that they might accuse Him.11 Then He said to them, "What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out? 12 Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."
