Sabbath Day Truth

You must have read in my previous post about when actually should Sabbath day be celebrated and its importance in the Bible. But this
post may somewhat contradict with my previous post on Holy Sabbath Day though not completely. Through the course of time peoples mind grow and it gains knowledge and ability to think out of the box (not with all). With the same ability let us see why Sabbath may not be as important as it is mentioned.

(Note: I am just an ordinary human and not even a scholar of holy books such as Bible, but this is just what a man with mind to reason can bring up. It
does not discriminate or compare other religions. This is not target on any other sect.)

Analyzing with keeping Go-d in mind: We all know that God is an entity which is above all thing, living being or other entity. Yet there are some who Doubt on the existence of God. But here I will not talk about His, Gods, existence. However, keeping Him as we perceive let us decide why Sabbath day is not so essential. According to Bible, Sabbath Day should be kept Holy and for Rest, but people have decided as the only day to access or talk to God. Is it that
God pays attention on earth only on the day of Sabbath and other day he is busy with something else? Off course not we can all him anytime we want.

When we say we should be pray on Sabbath we just try to say that Gods power is restricted only to Sabbath day and other days God will not listen to us. Most people will say that it is an important assembly to remember God. Why? Do we need a particular day to remember God? Obviously it is anytime more blissful and blessed to pray (I prefer talking) to God every time. Some people also say that it is the gatherings that is more powerful and prays are heard due to the assembly. Remember that most chosen ones who had Holy Spirit were alone. Praying alone with flawless faith is as effective as any assembly. Way Sabbath is in 10 commandments and why it is not so essential now? Those who read Bible regularly must have noticed that there are several laws that were in Old Testament and are changed or replaced in the New Testament. For example based on
Gods instruction (perhaps) Moses allowed divorce through certificate. But in New Testament Christ explained that divorce was made available to people because of their own stubbornness and Jesus did not allow divorce under certain circumstances. Same way, though God through Moses says that Sabbath Day is one of the mentioned commandments, Jesus based on Gods instructions preached that no day is important. This will be proved through bible itself in following text.

Romans 4: 5 10:- 5One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers
every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give 7 thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone.

Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead 10 and the living. You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister ? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before Gods judgment seat.

The above verse, from the Bible itself explains that everyone is treated equally (perhaps based on their Faith and deeds). We are no one to decide who is doing right and who is wrong; this authority is with God alone. So even if some do not keep Sabbath day but is righteous is accepted by God. You may see Abraham story for some more information on this.
So You and I are not obligated to any particular day, in fact we should pray on all days and off course take rest on a day preferably every seventh day. Dont look for what pleases you, avoid being rude and wrong on this, try to be peaceful and nice to everyone and have a happy Sabbath day. You know you kept Sabbath and God knows through you, this way you have kept the commandment as well.

To conclude the topic, here is a verse that says Sabbath is for man and not man is for Sabbath: these are numerous translations in different bible with same meaning: MARK 2:27 :King James Bible (Perhaps the Oldest and most reliable version for me because there is a difference between archetype and replicas) "And he said unto them, The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath:" New International Version (In the year 1984) "Then he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath". New Living Translation (In the year 2007) "Then Jesus said to them, "The Sabbath was made to meet the needs of people, and not people to meet the requirements of the Sabbath". By Amit Raj Singh.
