(02/23/2014) To Keep It Holy

Holiness, rest, the GODhead, and the Sabbath are topics today.  A writer at “Yahoo! Answers” using the ID “Waldoh Salido” (Level 1 with 95 points, a member since February 22, 2014) posted the following:


Remember the Sabbath day to kep it HOLY?


THE GOLDEN ARROW:  Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.  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 seventh day, and sanctified it:  because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.  (Genesis 2:  1-3, KJV)


THE DOUBLE DAGGER:  About Sabbath (10/16/2013); We Shall Behold Him (10/17/2013); Bible Authors and Truth? (06/19/2013); Newness of Spirit? (01/04/2013); Two Different Testaments? (01/05/2013)


“Waldoh Salido”, here are a few points intended for Christian believers:

(1.)  GOD is a spirit who has generated created beings and living creatures as well as the environments and material spheres for their continued existence.  Holiness is an aspect of full divine substance, and is inseparable from other sacred content such as faith, joy, longsuffering, love, wisdom, and wrath against sin.  (So to speak, you can’t separate the wet from the water.)

(2.)  The Sabbath is made holy by the presence of eternal GODhead.  For this reason, the Sabbath should be understood as more than a temporal artifact, and a measurable period of time.  We may say, the Sabbath is an incarnation of the GODhead.

(3.)  While the Sabbath is spoken of as a memorial of Creation, more correctly, the Sabbath is an unbroken, uninterrupted acknowledgement and celebration of Creation begun after the Crown of Creation was set, the female aspect of Adam.

There is far more to be said, correctly applied, and spiritually apprehended.  (For example, (4.)  The Sabbath pertains to divine rest and may be thought of as an act of Creation wherein renewal and replenishment are first established.  Also, Sabbath is to be regarded as communion, yet, is not the same experience as granted through the Lord’s Supper.)  Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful.  Be it unto you according to your faith.


But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.  (1st Thessalonians 2:  4, KJV)
