Didn't Jesus really just give up a weekend for our sins?

Yes, and so much more.  He gave His place at the right hand of God, would you?\n\nWould you give your life?  Would you give your own Sons life?  doubtful.

Well the need to worship on the sabbath was taken away by Jesus'       and resurrection. You can worship on any day of the week the reason that so many Christians chose Sunday is because that's the day that Christ rose from the grave. It's like a memorial to Him and it's a day that we are to remember all He did for us, so it seemed like a good day to worship, don't you agree? God Bless, and thanks for you good answers and questions

no, we can't do everything that Jesus did

I think that many people who claim some form of Christianity as their chosen religion are not terribly interested in living a truly christian life. I mean, religion is for many people an excuse, or a comfort blanky, or something to that effect, but is not a way of life, as it should be. People shouldn't only be Christains on sunday, or saturday, or whenever. It should be a part of the way you think, the decisions you make, and the goals we have in life. So in answer to your question, yes, I think that many of us as Christians have forgotten who we are and why we're here. That's probably one of the reasons that the world is in such bad shape.

It doesn't matter anymore - as long as you set aside a day to spend relaxing and focusing on God and His blessings then it doesn't matter which day you choose.\n\nMark 2:27-28 (NLT)  \n    Then he said to them, "The Sabbath was made to benefit people, and not people to benefit the Sabbath. [28] And I, the Son of Man, am master even of the Sabbath!"\n \nLuke 14:5 (NLT)  \n    Then he turned to them and asked, "Which of you doesn't work on the Sabbath? If your son or your cow falls into a pit, don't you proceed at once to get him out?" \n\nJesus healed on the Sabbath and the Disciples picked grain on the Sabbath - I think that the Sabbath is whatever day you spend dedicated to God.

Yes I go to church on Sunday's for worship, Wednesday's and Friday's for work.  Forsaking not the gathering is a command.  I think it is important though to spend time with the Lord daily not just once a week. I am privileged to be able to do that through prayer and reading of His word.  \nWestside Bible Church, Victoria BC Canada.\nwww.westsidefamily.org

Good question!\n\nWhich brings us to the fact that Jesus was a man spreading the Word of God and not being penalized for everyone elses mistakes. They will be held accountable. We are responsable for our own actions. Would that then mean that we can freely sin since we have been saved? i think not.\n\nWell done you for highlighting this!\n\nto the person who said Jesus went to hell for 3 days to get the souls of those who were wrongfully sent there, are you implying that God makes mistakes now??\n\nand i wish people would stop rhetorically quoting the bible as their answer without explanation, like they know what it means anyway, its just rhetoric.\n\nand for the record, if all sins have been cleansed through Jesus and his crucifiction, then will someone please tell me the point of judgement day??!!!

No Jesus chose to do it out of love for us.

No. The Last Temptation of Christ is a like a passion play.  It depicts the passion of Christ, not the resurrection.

Ok, we don't celebrate holidays or birthdays. We follow the command in Matthew 24:14 to preach to all people and also the scripture in Acts 15:20,29 that says to keep abstaining from blood. We are obedient to the laws set by the government, but we are nuetral when it comes to politics. We didn't change the bible to fit our religion because if you read the king james version along with the new world translation you see they say the same things, the new world translation is written in a way to be better understood. If we changed it then we wouldn't be following in Jesus footsteps because he would never change Jehovah Gods message to fit his purpose.We believe all scriptures are inspired by God as brought out in 2 Timothy 3:16 even though it was written by man.We believe that when someone dies no matter if the person is a witness or not life does not continue anywhere else as brought out in Ecclesiastes 9:5,10. We also believe that while the bible is a guidline some scriptures describe symbolic accounts as examples and learning tools. We don't think we're perfect but we try to live in harmony with what we're taught from the bible. Yes we believe only a set number(144,000) go to heaven as brought out in Revelation 7:4-10 and the ones who do not have a hope of going to heaven will live on earth which is brought out in Psalms 37:29, 115:16 Matthew 5:5. We have meetings three days a week and we attend conventions and assemblies every year. We attend the memorial of Jesus death as directed in Luke 22:14-19 once a year.Feel free to ask me any other questions or any witness for that matter, we'll be happy to answer them.

Yes! It is his way, after you have had your sins forgiven, to try and get you to give up. Don't. Rebuke the Devil, in the name of Jesus, and resist him and he will flee from you. em for texts.

There are many, most actualy, of the Christian Faith who believe that Sunday is The Sabbath Day. so they try not to do any unnessisary work on that day. They believe that is God's Word\n\nI am of the Christian Faith and I do not see any Biblical word to support Sunday as The Day.  In truth Saturday is God's Sabbath. from sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday.... No, I am not 7th Day adventist... they are not the only ones who believe in The Sabbath Day

The Sabbath is from Friday Evening to Saturday Evening; Jews still keep it as some christians. No work is to be done this day.\nJesus himself told us to keep this day (John 4:22-24).\n"Ye worship ye know not what; we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews." John 4:22\nNotice Jesus was saying that we should worship Saturday like the Jews.\n\nLook Sabbath up in Encyclopaedia Americana, Vol.24, pp.68-69.\nThe Calendar also tells us the 7th day is Saturday.\n\nIf you look up Genesis 1:8; it tells us that the evening and morning were the second day. Lev.23:32 says from evening to evening to celebrate the Sabbath.\n\nGENESIS 2:2-3 "AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY GOD ENDED HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE; AND HE RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE. AND GOD BLESSED THE THE SEVENTH DAY, AND SANCTIFIED IT: BECAUSE THAT IN IT HE HAD RESTED FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH GOD CREATED AND MADE." {sanctify = to set apart; make holy}\n\nEXODUS 20:8-11 "REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY. SIX DAYS SHALT THOU LABOUR, AND DO ALL THY WORK: BUT THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD THY GOD: IN IT THOU SHALT NOT DO ANY WORK, THOU, NOR THY SON, NOR THY DAUGHTER, THY MANSERVANT, NOR THY MAIDSERVANT, NOR THY CATTLE, NOR THY STRANGER THAT IS WITHIN THY GATES: FOR IN SIX DAYS THE LORD MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH, THE SEA, AND ALL THAT IN THEM IS, AND RESTED THE SEVENTH DAY: WHEREFORE THE LORD BLESSED THE SABBATH DAY, AND HALLOWED IT." {the 4th Commandment}\n\nREV.14:7 "SAYING WITH A LOUD VOICE, FEAR GOD, AND GIVE GLORY TO HIM; FOR THE HOUR OF HIS JUDGEMENT IS COME; AND WORSHIP HIM THAT MADE HEAVEN, AND EARTH, AND THE SEA, AND THE FOUNTAINS OF WATER."{fear God means reverence him; also this text points back to the 4th Commandment}\n\nLEV.23:3 "SIX DAYS SHALL WORK BE DONE: BUT THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH OF REST, AN HOLY CONVOCATION; YE SHALL DO NO WORK THERIN: IT IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD IN ALL YOUR DWELLINGS."\n\nDEUT.5:12-14 "KEEP THE SABBATH DAY TO SANCTIFY IT, AS THE LORD THY GOD HATH COMMANDED THEE. SIX DAYS SHALT THOU LABOUR, AND DO ALL THY WORK: BUT THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD THY GOD: IN IT THOU SHALT NOT DO ANY WORK, THOU, NOR THY SON, NOR THY DAUGHTER, THY MANSERVANT, NOR THY MAIDSERVANT, NOR THINE OX, NOR THINE ***, NOR ANY OF THINE CATTLE, NOR THY STRANGER THAT IS WITHIN THY GATES: THAT THY MANSERVANT AND THY MAIDSERVANT MAY REST AS WELL AS THOU."\n\n{Jesus's Example= "For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:..-1PETER 2:21}\nLUKE 4:16 "AND HE CAME TO NAZARETH, WHERE HE HAD BEEN BROUGHT UP: AND, AS HIS CUSTOM WAS, HE WENT INTO THE SYNAGOGUE ON THE SABBATH DAY, AND STOOD UP TO READ."\n\nMARK 2:23-28 "AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT HE WENT THROUGH THE CORN FIELDS ON THE SABBATH DAY; AND HIS DISCIPLES BEGAN, AS THEY WENT, TO PLUCK THE EARS OF CORN. AND THE PHARISEES SAID UNTO HIM, BEHOLD, WHY DO THEY ON THE SABBATH DAY THAT WHICH IS NOT LAWFUL? AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, HAVE YE NEVER READ WHAT DAVID DID, WHEN HE HAD NEED, AND WAS AN HUNGRED, HE, AND THEY THAT WERE WITH HIM? HOW HE WENT INTO THE HOUSE OF GOD IN THE DAYS OF ABIATHAR THE HIGH PRIEST, AND DID EAT THE SHEW BREAD, WHICH IS NOT LAWFUL TO EAT BUT FOR THE PRIESTS, AND GAVE ALSO TO THEM WHICH WERE WITH HIM? AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH: THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO OF THE SABBATH." {The Pharisees thought his disciples were breaking the Sabbath by plucking and eating corn; but Jesus told them it wasn't work. Jesus healed on the sabbath as helped people. On the Sabbath day you can even warm meals as boil water for oatmeal on the Sabbath. The work that you cannot do is cooking meals because it takes an hour or hours to cook or by staying in the fields to do hard labor or cleaning, shopping in the store, eating at restaura

Jesus makes the statement that he, like Jonah, will be buried for both three days and three nights. One could state, as some here have, that Friday Saturday and Sunday constitute three days, but where were the 3 (three!) nights?\n\nMatthew 12:39-40 39 But he answered and \nsaid unto them, An evil and adulterous \ngeneration seeketh after a sign; and \nthere shall no sign be given to it, but \nthe sign of the prophet Jonas: 40 For as \nJonas was three days AND THREE NIGHTS in \nthe whale's belly; so shall the Son of \nman be three days AND THREE NIGHTS in the \nheart of the earth. \n\nfriday day - one day\nfriday night - one night\nsaturday day - second day\nsaturday night - second night\nsunday day - third day\n......no third night\n\nAnd the Gospels dont agree as to how long Jesus was buried:::\n\nMt 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week,  came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.  2 And very early in the morning the first day of  the week,  they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of  the sun.  \n<3 days and two nights!>\n\nLk  24:1 Now upon the first day of the week,  very early  in  the morning,  they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.  \n<3 days and two nights!>\n\nJn  20:1  The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene  early, when  it was yet dark,  unto the sepulchre,  and seeth the  stone taken away from the sepulchre.  \n<Jesus was not in the tomb into the light of Sunday, so it was two days and two nights!>\n\nEither version of the story you choose, Jesus was not buried for three days AND three nights, like he said he would be.........

It was part of God's plan for the human race for Jesus Christ to die for the sins of the human race.  He was the Last Adam (the last perfect man born as Adam was created) so He was the only One qualified to die for our sins.  Fortunately for us He didn't disobey God as Adam did and He was able to do what He did or we wouldn't have the opportunity to believe in Him that He paid the penalty for our sins.

Isn't there some debate about the calendar system or something?  I'm not entirely clear on this, but I seem to recall several people arguing over what year it really is now, because of the calendar system in effect way back then.\n\nThe only reason I mention this is that someone said Jesus rose on a Sunday, so the sabbath is now Sunday for all Christians.  If the calendar system was different back then from what it is now, how do we know that it was Sunday and not Wednesday or any of the other days of the week?

I DON'T AND HAVEN'T SINCE DECEMBER OF 1995--WHEN I LEARNED THE TRUTH! \nMost people will try to tell you alot of stories such as: Jesus rose Sunday, or no longer under the law, or "law is one away with" or some excuse not to keep the Sabbath! If they keep Sunday; they will be worshipping the(sun god) beast of Revelation.\n\nThe Seal of God is in the 4th Commandment in Exodus 20:8-11; references are John 4:22-24 and Rev.14:7. \nSabbath in Encyclopaedia Americana, Vol.24, pp.68-69.\nThe Sabbath Day is Saturday.\nLook it up in dictionaries, encyclopedias and etc.\n\nBut anyway a SEAL contains 3 things.\n1. HIS NAME, \n2. HIS OFFICIAL POSITION, TITLE OR AUTHORITY\n3. THE EXTENT OF HIS DOMINION AND JURISDICTION\n\nNow the SEAL in the 4th Commandment is\n1. THE LORD\n2. MADE {office,creator}\n3. HEAVEN AND EARTH {dominion}\n\nIf we know the SEAL is the 7th day sabbath Saturday (EXOD.20:8-11); then rejecting it would be the MARK.\n\nREV.7:2-3 "AND I SAW ANOTHER ANGEL ASCENDING FROM THE EAST, HAVING THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD: AND HE CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE TO THE FOUR ANGELS, TO WHOM IT WAS GIVEN TO HURT THE EARTH AND THE SEA,\nSAYING,HURT NOT THE EARTH, NEITHER THE SEA, NOR THE TREES, TILL WE HAVE SEALED THE SERVANTS OF OUR GOD IN THEIR FOREHEADS." {DEUT.6:8 = knowing, doing and keeping the Sabbath holy}\n\nSO IF YOU KEEP SATURDAY HOLY(JN.4:22-24) AND FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST FAITH; YOU WILL HAVE THE(REV.14:12) "SEAL OF GOD".\n\nEvidence: (Catholics know when the seventh day is)\n"1. Is Saturday the 7th day occording to the Bible & the 10 Commandments.\n"I answer yes.\n"2. Is Sunday the first day of the week & did the Church change the 7th day--Saturday---for Sunday, the 1st. day:\n"I answer yes.\n"3. Did Christ change the day\n"I anser no! Faithfully yours,\n"J. Card. Gibbons"\n--Gibbon's Autograph letter.\n"Ques.--Which is the Sabbath day?\n"Ans.--Saturday is the Sabbath day.\n"Ques.--Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?\n"Ans.--We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday."--Peter Geiermann, The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine (1946 ed.), p.50. Geiermann received the "apostolic blessing" of Pope Pius x on his labors, Jan.25,1910.\nBible Readings pg.194. \n\n(Dan.7:25 tells us "he will think to change laws and times")\n\n"Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change was her act...And the act is a Mark of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things." ---H.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons. \n\nMost people have followed the church; look what Rev.13:1 says "...and all the world wondered after the beast." What does this mean; will if you seen every domination---they follow the Catholic's teachings which are false(Dan.8:12). This is the image of the Beast. This is what God tells his people that are in 1st Babylon and 2nd Babylon in Rev.18:4 "...Come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye not receive her plagues." \n\n"IF ANY MAN WORSHIP THE BEAST{Sunday} AND HIS IMAGE{teachings of Catholic Church} AND RECEIVE HIS MARK IN HIS FOREHEAD,{affections} OR IN HIS HAND" {REV:14:9, refraining from labor on THAT DAY}.{See ECCLES.9:10; ROM.7:25.}\n\nThe Mark of the beast is 666! To accept the beast's mark is to not accept God's Holy Sabbath Day Saturday as Working on the Sabbath.(reference Deut.7:8)
