Sabbath
I as a believer feel that keeping the Sabbath because no where in scripture does it show that the Sabbath day has been changed to the first day of the week and neither is it a commandment of God to keep the first day of the week as the Lord's day,but it was the commandment of the Lord to keep the Sabbath holy. Nevertheless if you keep the Sabbath it must be in accordance with the way which was meant from Friday evening till Saturday evening as it is first laid out in Genesis chapter 1, but remember this is only a matter of conscience and is not to be forced on others for we are not under Jewish law or we would have to keep the entire law. You cannot choose to obey one part of a law and not another.
Remember the Sabbath was created for man and not man for the Sabbath. There are a lot of jobs where people need to work on the Sabbath, for example: police, doctors, firemen and right down to labouring where a man may lose his job and in doing so lose his means of supporting his family. It is always permissable to do good on the Sabbath, don't let anyone deceive you into thinking otherwise.
Ephesians 4 v 8 so no longer do the righteous have to wait to be next to the throne of God for now they go straight to heaven. To those who still think we still sleep in an unconscious state, this sleep was also accredited to Jesus. 1 Corinthians 15 v 20 for it says he was the first fruits of those that slept and yet we can clearly see from (i Perer 3 v 19 NASB and original Greek) where it says he made his proclomation to those who were destroyed in the time of the great flood, so not only was he conscious but also active as were the spirits he made his proclmation to. In the same manner as Christ was risen with a body so shall we have a body which is incorruptible.
We will come back with Christ
1 Thessalonians 4 v 14
1 Corinthians 15 v 52-54 states our bodies will be changed in a twinkling of an eye those who have fallen asleep are coming back with him as a spirit and a soul to be united with their new incorruptible body. And for those who do not understand that there is a difference between spirit, soul and body I would reccommend to read Matthew 10 v 28. This says that we are not to fear him who can destroy the body, but rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body.
Conclusion: Absent from the Body, present with the Lord.
Saint and its misunderstanding and even deliberate deception
What is a saint? A saint is someone who is a follower of Jesus Christ, someone who trusts in Jesus and has accepted him as their Lord and saviour. This means to follow his plan for their life, which is laid out in the Bible. THe moment someone becomes a christian they become a saint. Now, I know this makes a lot of people uncomfortable because of misperception of the word "saint". Some say they are perfect and without sin. This is not true for the bible tells us that God has called evangelists and teachers for the perfection of the saints. Ephesians 4 v 11-12.
Now some more modern versions of the bible may say "equipping of the people of God", but the original Greek says "perfection of the Saints". Scriptures also says that if we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and that the truth is not in us, 1 JOhn 1 v 8.
Saints are not made saints when they die, they are made saints the moment they believe that Christ died for their sins and give God authority ober their life.
Saints when their feet are dirty, have them washed, 1 Timothy 5v 10.
They can be shut up in prison, Acts 26 v 10.
Poor saints need finances, 1 corinthians 16 v 1
The apostle Peter was a saint, who through fear fell to the sin of hypocrisy and favouritism and treated circumcised believers better than the uncircumcised. This is why the apostle Paul had told him off face-to-face. Galations 2 v 11-14
So , if a saint( who is an apostle can be guilty of sinning) how much more a saint who is a simple believer in Christ?
Don't be quick to believe everything that is told to you concerning matters relating to God, but check it out in the Bible
