Romans 12:2
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Matthew 13:44-46
44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
According
To God's Word, The Holy Bible, we should not conform to this world; material possessions and earthly desires (worldly desires)
should not be our top priority on earth.
Our Top Priority is to Accept The Free Gift Of Salvation Given to us By Jesus Christ Himself and Then To Follow Him, Purifying ourselves Like He Is Pure; Walking In Love Towards God And loving our neighbor like we love ourselves.
Jesus Christ Came to earth, Lived A Sinless Life, Healed The Sick, Opened The Eyes Of The Blind, The Ears Of The Deaf, Freed The Oppressed by the devil, Taught us About God's Immense Love, Was Mocked, Beaten, Tortured, Murdered In Cold Blood On The Cross, and Resurrected The Third Day so that we may have Eternal Life and would not be afraid of dying (Fear of death was the reason many were kept enslaved by the devil)
Jesus Christ Resurrected On The Third Day, Showed Himself to the disciples, and many more people, And Then Went Back To God, The Father.
We have heard This Testimony In God's Holy Word, and By Believing In The Son Of God, we Believe In Him Who Sent Him; God The Father.
By Believing In Jesus Christ we are given Eternal Life In Paradise, His Kingdom (God's Word Says that this earth is just God's Footstool)
Once We decide To Follow Jesus, It Is important to purify ourselves Like He Is Pure; we do this by Keeping God's Commandments.
God's Commandments are summed up in One Word: LOVE.
1 John 5
5 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
***Remember That Keeping His Commandments (Loving God, and Loving Each other) Always Results In Blessings! ***
Words Of King Solomon
Ecclesiastes 12
12 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;
2 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:
3 In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,
4 And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;
5 Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:
6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.
7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
8 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.
9 And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
10 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
11 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.
12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Jesus Christ Died So That our sins Will Be Forgiven and Therefore, Are Given Everlasting Life In God's Kingdom; This Is A Free Gift.
Humans' lives pass very quickly, it is crucial to make the correct choice regarding our Eternal Destiny while we still have time.
Psalm 144:3-4
3 Lord, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!
4 Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.

It is important to make the right choices.
Only By Trusting In Jesus Christ, Praying To Him And Asking Him For Help we can avoid the pitfall of Sin, and can then focus our minds on The Truth (Love, Jesus Christ)
God's Word Says
Proverbs 9:10
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
It is wise to make right choices. Obtaining Wisdom is crucial to us.
In this life we will be confronted with two choices regularly, Wrong or Right.
All of us humans have had the tendency to do evil ever since we were born on this planet; We have all sinned, and this has been our tendency from the start.
All of us at some point may have: lied, stolen, had vain thoughts, hated, felt anger, jealosy, envy, greed. We may have also hurt our neighbor, either verbally or even physically.
The odds are against us in the choice making department.
However, we may still make right choices.
To make the right choices, we need God's Love inside our hearts.
(I would like to share the following video with you, even though i am not sure whether Albert Einstein said this in his youth or not)
The Necessity Of Humans; God's Love (Audio in German, English Subtitles)
All of us at some point may have: lied, stolen, had vain thoughts, hated, felt anger, jealosy, envy, greed. We may have also hurt our neighbor, either verbally or even physically.
The odds are against us in the choice making department.
However, we may still make right choices.
To make the right choices, we need God's Love inside our hearts.
(I would like to share the following video with you, even though i am not sure whether Albert Einstein said this in his youth or not)
With God's Love, we may Walk In The Truth, In Jesus Christ, For A Reality That Never Ends, for a Real Treasure.
Allowing God Into our hearts is wise, but we cannot be truly wise unless we fear God, because this is the beginning of Wisdom.
***To Fear God In Biblical Terms, is to Respect, to Admire, to Love God***
In other words, it is necessary to Believe In Him, to Respect Him and to Love Him.

In other words, it is necessary to Believe In Him, to Respect Him and to Love Him.
We may then begin to acquire wisdom and start a spiritual transformation unlike anything we had previously imagined we were capable of.
The Choice is ours... Let's Make The Right One!
Matthew 6:19-21
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
If we meditate deeply on the subject of material
possessions and earthly desires, we may come to the conclusion that they are nothing more than vanity (Illusions)
Spending our lives chasing after earthly riches and earthly desires is like attempting to catch the wind. Not only will we never become satisfied, but we also may become distracted and may end up drifting away from Doing God's Will (And His Will is for us to enjoy LOVE) and not Following Jesus Christ.
1 Timothy 6: 6-19
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
Earthly desires also enslave people and keep us captive looking for more of the same.
This cycle does not bring happiness.
Ecclesiastes 5:10
10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.
The problem starts when we make earthly desires our main focus for existing. It is when we make a god out of these desires that we fall.
It isn't evil to have material possessions, or to enjoy them, but it is bad to make material possessions our main reason for existing, because the reason why we exist is God, and God Is LOVE.
LOVE Is what the human heart truly needs and should be our main reason for existing. God Is LOVE.
Matthew 6:21
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Earthly
desires (Including material possessions) are only good for showing us
that they're not what we are here for, and always leave us with another
gap ready to be filled with more earthly desires.
This vicious cycle does not truly end unless a person decides to Follow Jesus Christ
Spending our lives chasing after earthly riches and earthly desires is like attempting to catch the wind. Not only will we never become satisfied, but we also may become distracted and may end up drifting away from Doing God's Will (And His Will is for us to enjoy LOVE) and not Following Jesus Christ.

By Walking Like Jesus Christ
Walked, in obedience To God, we will receive God's Holy Spirit (Peace,
Love, Justice, Truth, Wisdom, Harmony, and Everything That Is Good)
Which Fills Us More than any earthly desires ever could.
Let's never make earthly desires (Including material possessions) our life's goal, instead let's Seek...
The Kingdom Of God!
Imagine
the most amazing feeling you've ever had, the best dessert you've ever
tasted, the best vacation you've been on, the most blissful physical
experience you've ever had, the greatest happiness you've ever felt, the
most blissful fragrance you've ever smelled.
(Remember The only reason we've experienced all of these things is because God has made us capable of this)
The
things we will experience CONSTANTLY in The Kingdom Of God will far
surpass the best things we've ever experienced here on earth.
We will never miss anything about earth, at all.
In God's Kingdom we'll never say, "Remember those visuals back on earth!?" or "Remember how ice cream used to taste?!" or "I really miss Hawaii"
Instead we'll be absolutely filled With God's Holy Spirit; We'll be experiencing an Ecstasy of pleasure beyond our wildest imagination in The Greatest Place That Exists Beyond The Universe, Surpassing Time and Space;
God's Eternal Kingdom
Our momentary existence on earth is really just a black and white reality.
(The result of sin)
God's Word Says that earth is nothing more than God's Footstool;
think deeply about this ;)
This World is truly amazing to behold, and there are signs of LOVE all over the place;
God's Love can truly be seen in His creation. yet, this reality is but a shadow of greater things to come! An Even Greater LOVE is awaiting us all;
God's Everlasting Glory
Isaiah 66:1
66 Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool
After
a few seconds of God's Kingdom we'll know that this reality we've lived in
so far has been nothing more than a black and white experience (The result of sin)
(Remember The only reason we've experienced all of these things is because God has made us capable of this)
Psalm 16:11
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

(There are estimated to be about 7500 types of apples and 1600 types of bananas alone. To put that in perspective, if you ate a new type of apple each day, it would take you a little over twenty years to try them all. For the bananas, it's a little over four years)
- The oceans in which we may sail, swim, scuba-dive, jet-ski, etc. Lakes, Rivers.
- The happiness and Love we see in a baby's face.
- Our pets, and the feelings of happiness they produce in our hearts.
- The Pleasures we can experience: Relaxation, Laughter, Orgasms, etc.

God's Everlasting Glory

John 10:7-18
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
Romans 10:8-13
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

1 John 3:1-11
3 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
Colossians 3
3 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
11
Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision,
Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
12 Put
on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies,
kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing
one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel
against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in
all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
22
Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not
with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing
God;
23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done:
and there is no respect of persons.
Deuteronomy 5:6-21
1.“I am the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.
and there is no respect of persons.
Matthew 19:16-17
16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
The 10 Commandments 16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Deuteronomy 5:6-21
1.“I am the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2.“You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of
anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or
that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor
serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the
iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth
generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to
those who love Me and keep My commandments.
3.“You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
4.“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the LORD your God commanded you. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates, that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you. And remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out from there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm; therefore the LORD your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
5.“Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you, that your days may be long, and that it may be well with you in the land which the LORD your God is giving you.
6.“You shall not murder.

I will now share with you the following Bible Verses, which are very encouraging in times 0f need! :D
Saludos, Miguel hombre. Con respecto a la costumbre cristiana de guardar el sábado, sería conveniente considerar algunas citas. En primer lugar es destacable esta de Colosenses 2, 16-17: “Por tanto, nadie os juzgue en comida o en bebida, o respecto a días de fiesta o de luna nueva, o de SÁBADOS; que son la sombra de lo por venir; mas el cuerpo es de Cristo”.
ReplyDeleteEn segundo lugar, hay citas de la Escritura que sugieren, al menos, una predilección por el primer día de la semana para llevar a cabo ciertos aspectos propios de la comunidad (1 Cor. 16, 1-2): “En cuanto a la ofrenda para los santos, haced vosotros también de la manera que ordené en las iglesias de Galacia. Cada PRIMER DÍA DE LA SEMANA cada uno de vosotros ponga aparte algo, atesorándolo, conforme Dios le haya prosperado; para que cuando yo llegue, no se recojan entonces ofrendas”. Esta glosa, si bien no demuestra que el día consagrado de los primeros cristianos era el primer día de la semana, sí demuestra que uno de los días fijos de que tenemos conocimiento que los cristianos se congregaban era precisamente el primer día de la semana. Sin embargo, si consideramos que hacen mención de este día otra vez, y que difícilmente en en el Nuevo Testamento se haga mención específica acerca de otro día que frecuentaban, eso empieza, por lo menos, a ser llamativo (Hech. 20, 7): “Y el PRIMER DÍA DE LA SEMANA, reuniéndose los discípulos para partir el pan, Pablo les predicaba; y habiendo de partir al día siguiente, alargó su discurso hasta la media noche”. No deja de ser curioso que en un pasaje del N.T. se hable del sábado como parte de un conjunto de tradiciones que pierden sentido con la regencia de Cristo, tanto más cuanto después no haya un pasaje concreto donde diga que la iglesia primitiva se solía encontrar los sábados, más todavía, en más de una ocasión se habla explícitamente que lo hacían los primeros días de la semana.
Como todos lo saben, el día de reposo establecido para los judíos es el sábado, el séptimo día (Gén. 2, 1-2). Si el sábado es el séptimo día de la semana, obviamente el primer día de la semana vendría siendo el domingo, lo cual corresponde con las tradiciones más antiguas aún vigentes del cristianismo, como ocurre con la iglesia ortodoxa copta, que guarda el domingo como lo deben de hacer las demás iglesias ortodoxas, pero estoy seguro de la copta. Entiendo que el proceder de cristianos guardando el sábado se remonta a épocas relativamente recientes, donde un grupo de puritanos del Renacimiento pugnaron por incorporar a su credo doctrinas judaizantes.
Haría muy largo el comentario para cerrar, pero si citamos las fuentes más confiables en los albores de la iglesia, sería imprescindible traer a colación los escritos de autores como Ignacio de Antioquía (110 D.C) y Justino Mártir (160 D.C), autoridades historiológicas cuyos documentos describen transparentemente el carácter sagrado del día del sol para los seguidores de Cristo, casi dos siglos antes de la aparición de Constantino. Esto quiere decir que hay documentos históricos que certifican el precepto del domingo desde la heredad de la comunidad apostólica. Estos documentos se adquieren fácilmente en la red o en bibliotecas seculares. Perdón de antemano por la extensión. Sería bacano contrapuntear la discusión y ahondar en este asunto. Camilo
Que mas Camilo! Mil disculpas por la tardia en responder. Me acabe de dar cuenta de que hubo comentario :)
DeleteColosenses 2, 16-17 no se refiere al Dia Sabado Del Cuarto Mandamiento De Dios, sino a los dias Sabados que se mantenian como fiestas especiales en diferentes meses, en la epoca del Antiguo Testamento.Estos dias Sabados de fiesta son parte de las leyes sacerdotales del Antiguo Testamento; las cuales dieron termino despues De Cristo Jesus.
Es cierto que Cristianos se congregaban los dias Domingos, sin embargo, no solo los dias Domingos se congregaban, sino a traves de toda la semana.
Los Versiculos Biblicos compartidos no mencionan cambios en el Cuarto Mandamiento en ningun lugar. Si hubiera sucedido algun cambio en Los Mandamientos De Dios, esto estaria plasmado a traves del Nuevo Testamento, pero este no es el caso, ya que nunca sucedio ningun cambio en Esta Ley. Los unicos cambios que ocurrieron fueron en la ley sacerdotal, la cual ya no tiene vigencia (Sacrificios de animales, dias de fiesta, o Sabados, dias de luna nueva, etc) Se dice que no debemos juzgar a nadie con respecto a estos dias Sabados, y esto es bueno, ya que si alguien quiere mantener estos dias de fiesta como lo hicieron en el Antiguo Testamento, quien puede decir que esta mal? Puede ser que alguien mantenga un dia de fiesta como estos en Honor A Dios, lo cual siempre es bueno :) Como le decia hace una semana, Dios ve lo que hay en el corazon del hombre; nosotros en realidad no podemos ver lo que hay en los corazones de los hombres, por lo cual no es nuestro lugar juzgar a nadie.
Con Respecto A La Ley De Dios, Los 10 Mandamientos De Dios pueden ser llamados, "La Ley Moral De Dios" y esta Ley nunca cambia, ya que En Dios no hay cambio. El Es El Mismo Ayer, Hoy y Siempre :)
Lo interesante de la adoracion del sol es que esta ocurria muchisimo antes aun, ya que antiguas civilizaciones como los egipcios adoraban el sol, sin embargo parece ser que Constantino fue el primero que instituyo el reposo en honor al sol, el dia domingo como "ley" para todo un imperio, lo que despues se volvio tradicion para muchos, pero esto va en contra de La Palabra De Dios.
Los 10 Mandamientos De Dios seguiran vigentes hasta el final. Aqui hay un Versiculo que trata con los ultimos tiempos:
Apocalipsis 12:17
17 Entonces el dragón se llenó de ira contra la mujer; y se fue a hacer guerra contra el resto de la descendencia de ella, los que guardan los mandamientos de Dios y tienen el testimonio de Jesucristo.
Creo tambien, que parte del problema en los ultimos tiempos va a ser la Adoracion A Dios el Dia Sabado. O sea, creo que se va a repetir lo que paso en la epoca de Constantino, tal vez una ley que obligue a las personas a descansar un dia que Dios no mando. Esto es especulacion mia, pero creo que esta va a ser una manera en la que el dragon va a hacer guerra contra aquellos que mantienen Los Mandamientos De Dios.
La Adoracion En El Dia Sabado; el Cuarto Mandamiento, es Un Mandamiento extremadamente importante, ya que aquellos que lo mantienen estan firmando espiritualmente con su tiempo, un contrato en el que se especifica quien es su Dios. En Este Caso El Dios De La Creacion, El Unico Dios Viviente, Quien Descanso el Septimo Dia, despues de La Creacion.
Este Mandamiento claramente nos pone en parte de Su redil. La Obediencia A Dios tiene grandes recompensas ;)
A La final, Dios ve lo que hay en el corazon del hombre. Nosotros no podemos juzgar a nadie, pero si podemos compartir La Verdad para que otros se beneficien, asi como nosotros hemos sido beneficiados :)
El Cuarto Mandamiento De Dios ha sido absolutamente crucial para mi transformacion espiritual. Si yo nunca hubiera mantenido este Mandamiento, ciertamente nunca hubiera predicado La Palabra De Cristo Jesus, ya que nunca hubiera llegado donde estoy hoy. Es por esto que comparto Los Mandamientos De Dios Con Todos, porque se que en mantenerlos hay Grandes Bendiciones :D
***Continuacion*** no me dejaron publicar todo lo que escribi. Aqui esta el resto:
DeleteMateo 5:19
19 De manera que cualquiera que quebrante uno de estos mandamientos muy pequeños, y así enseñe a los hombres, muy pequeño será llamado en el reino de los cielos; mas cualquiera que los haga y los enseñe, éste será llamado grande en el reino de los cielos.
La conversacion que tuvimos hace una semana estuvo muy interesante hermano Camilo. Cualquier cosa, nos podemos comunicar por aqui o si desea me puede añadir por Facebook tambien :)
Que mi Señor Jesus Cristo lo Bendiga hermano! :D
Severo que pudimos mantener el contacto, viejo Miguel. Respecto a lo que me contesta, sinteticemos así:
ReplyDelete1. ¿Dónde, con qué criterio podríamos determinar esa interpretación que ud. anota acerca del fragmento de Colosenses según el cual el pasaje va dirigido a abolir algunas fiestas que se oficiaban los sábados y no los sábados en cuanto tal? Lo que uno ve es que la Escritura señala con énfasis el desestimar días de fiesta, de luna nueva y sábados. Uno cree que el autor debió de ser más cuidadoso máxime cuando estaba hablando de un mandamiento tan importante para los judíos. Debió tener más tacto al escribir. Pero esto da más fuerza a lo que se discute. Si fuera tan importante como se quiere dar a entender, en algún lugar del Nuevo Testamento se hubiera descrito con solemnidad la celebración de tan solo un sábado. Con todo y eso, ¿qué autoridad exegética podemos emplear para clarificar que la interpretación que usted brinda es correcta? Porque , ya le digo, a ojos vista, el texto dice sábados, no hace acepción de qué tipo de asuntos no deberían ser observados los sábados. No hubiera sido difícil escribir "... las fiestas de sábados son sombra de lo por venir, más el cuerpo de Cristo...", para explicitar la lectura. Pero parece muy claro. Ayúdeme con eso. ¿Cómo llegó a la conclusión de que son algunas fiestas de sábado cuando no lo dice el versículo mencionado?
2. Usted esgrime que los versos que le cito no profieren un anuncio literal de la abolición del sábado, eso es evidente. Son para llamar la atención, por ejemplo, que el día fijo, y probablemente preceptual, que se encontraban era el primero de la semana, ya que ese día hacían la colecta. Esa pista no es nada despreciable. No obstante, la prueba literal le reitero que reside copiosamente en varios de los textos que se conservan de la iglesia primitiva, si quiere le paso títulos.
Ahora, tampoco sé de citas textuales del Nuevo Testamento donde se sancionen puntualmente mandamientos mosaicos como por ejemplo, la muerte por lapidación, que en efecto los cristianos repudiaron aun cuando no lo dice textualmente en el N.T. Digamos, el Antiguo Testamento reza que la ofrenda de incienso también, como el sábado, debe ser perpetua (Ex.29: 42); como también se establece la perpetuidad de la ordenanza de que los descendientes de Arón debían lavarse las manos y los pies en rito (Ex.30: 21). En ningún pasaje del Nuevo Testamento está escrito de forma explícita que debían abandonarse, lo cual no impide aseverar que en efecto los judíos cristianos los abandonaron (como tantas prácticas judías) y que los cristianos gentiles nunca adoptaron. No sé si usted haya encontrado en el Nuevo Testamento, como usted pregunta con lo del sábado, qué versículos hablan explícitamente de la abolición de cada uno de los axiomas de la Ley sacerdotal, o cuáles de ellos se abrogaban y cuáles debían permanecer. Pero al igual que el sábado, entiendo, no fueron abiertamente inscritos, mas la tradición de la iglesia demuestra qué observancias mosaicas y de la vieja alianza caducaron para los cristianos y cuáles se preservaron. Todo esto toca verlo a la luz de la tradición, porque la Escritura, debido a que este no era su propósito fundamental, se hace insuficiente como recurso.
Hermano Camilo, mil disculpas por la tardanza. Habia estado extremadamente ocupado :)
DeleteLos 10 Mandamientos nunca tuvieron ningun cambio en el Nuevo Testamento. El dia domingo solo es mencionado 8 veces en el Nuevo Testamento, y en ninguno de estos versiculos se le llama dia de reposo. Le dejo este articulo que explica cada parte donde se menciona el dia domingo:
http://estudiosbiblicos-elsabado.blogspot.com.co/2008/01/el-domingo-en-el-nuevo-testamento.html
En Colosenses 2:16-17 se agrupan estos dias "Sabados" con dias de fiesta y de luna nueva. Los dias de fiesta, y luna nueva eran celebraciones que se habian dado en el Antiguo Testamento en conmemoracion A El Creador, junto con estos dias "Sabados"
los cuales son diferentes al que se le llama en La Biblia, Dia Sabado.
Un ejemplo, si yo dijera, "Por favor traigame una de las sillas" me estaria refiriendo a alguna de muchas sillas, pero si yo dijera, "Por favor, traigame La silla" me estaria refiriendo a una silla en especifico. El cambio de plural a singular cambia el significado total de lo que quiero decir. Lo mismo ocurre con Colosenses.
En La Biblia, el dia de Reposo (Sabado del 4to Mandamiento) siempre es mencionado en forma singular, porque es un dia especifico.
Aqui le dejo un articulo que explica esto con mas claridad:
http://www.sabadobiblico.com/extras/preguntas-y-respuestas-frecuentes-/id/1170/favor-de-explicar-colosenses-214
Acerca de el punto #2
Efesios 2:15-16
15 aboliendo en su carne las enemistades, la ley de los mandamientos expresados en ordenanzas, para crear en sí mismo de los dos un solo y nuevo hombre, haciendo la paz,
16 y mediante la cruz reconciliar con Dios a ambos en un solo cuerpo, matando en ella las enemistades.
Estos mandamientos aqui mencionados expresados en ordenanzas no son los 10 Mandamientos Escritos en piedra Con El Dedo De Dios, sino los mandamientos expresados en ordenanza por Moises para el pueplo de Israel. O sea las leyes sacerdotales del Antiguo Testamento.
He escrito acerca de esto con mucho detalle aqui:
http://bible7treasures.blogspot.com.co/2015/11/should-christians-keep-gods-commandments.html
El unico problema es la traduccion, ya que desafortunadamente la traduccion al Español no es perfecta. Pero los versiculos Biblicos son entendibles. Aqui se explica con mas claridad acerca de esto.
3. Aduce que los primeros cristianos no sólo se congregaban los días del Señor. Es clarísimo. En Hechos dice que lo hacían asiduamente. Ya hablamos el signo de las colectas, pero para dilucidar el problema hay que rastrear qué relación hay entre el Primer día de la semana y día del Señor. Cuando, pongamos, Juan dice en Apc. 1:10 que cayó en éxtasis el día del Señor, no hay mayor debate para concluir que hace referencia al día domingo de los primeros cristianos (cuya influencia en Roma siglos después produjo el nombre domingo, que viene del latín dies dominicus, día de Señor). No se sabe a qué otra deidad le llamaban señor en la época pagana, y se desconoce cultura alguna en la que designaran con el nombre señor al sol. Con lo cual, la palabra domingo tiene un origen netamente cristiano. Esto, reitero, se confirma efusivamente en los primeros documentos apostólicos de la cristiandad. Por otro lado, la alusión día del Señor en la vieja alianza alude al día del juicio, no al sábado. Es claro que Juan no se sumió en éxtasis el día del juicio. Con lo que sabemos que quería expresar un día de calendario corriente, el domingo, según no pocas referencias.
ReplyDelete4. Mi hermano escribe "que parece ser que Constantino fue el primero que instituyó el domingo como día del sol". ¿Pero al parecer de quién? ¿En qué fuente bibliográfica podemos constatar esta afirmación tan tajante? Sería imprescindible para completar el rompecabezas. No obstante es muy claro que culturas antiguas adoraron al sol el día que llamamos domingo. Al ser Roma un imperio pagano, podía existir culto al sol los domingos en las comarcas romanas. En un tiempo dado, Roma, como es sabido, abrazó el cristianismo como religión oficial. ¿El hecho de que el imperio refundara el otrora día del Sol y difundiera el día del Señor cristiano provoca que el día del señor sea romano (pagano) y no cristiano? Esta coincidencia, la de que los paganos rindieran culto a un dios el mismo día que los cristianos lo hicieran con el suyo, en ningún modo deslegitima ni anula el raudal bibliográfico que comprueba que los cristianos desde tiempos apostólicos (reitero, tres siglos antes que la aparición de Constantino) sacralizaban el primer día de la semana en honor a la Resurrección del Redentor y su restauración de la Creación. No cree?
El apostol Juan era discipulo De Cristo Jesus Quien Mantuvo todos los Mandamientos De Dios, incluyendo el Dia Sabado. No existe razon para pensar que el apostol Juan haya dejado de seguir A Cristo por seguir las tradiciones impuestas por los hombres. Por lo cual el dia en el que el tuvo la vision que tenia que ver con los ultimos tiempos (O finalizacion de un siclo perfecto, lo cual tambien esta representado en el numero 7 en La Biblia)tuvo que haber sido el dia Septimo, el Sabado. Los hombres no pueden cambiar este dia por ningun otro, ya que fue Dios Mismo Quien instituyo estos dias desde la misma creacion.
DeleteSi un grupo de personas deciden llamar el dia domingo el dia del Señor, esto no cambia los hechos verdaderos. En ingles le llaman al dia domingo Sunday o dia del sol, pero una vez mas ese nombre fue dado por hombres. Es importante no seguir a los hombres, sino A Dios, porque El Es Perfecto, y nosotros definitivamente no lo somos.
Si no estoy equivocado el emperador Constantino fue el primero que mando el dia domingo como dia de reposo, en forma de ley. Sin duda alguna muchas civilizaciones han adorado al sol, la luna, las estrellas y toda otra clase de idolos antes que el emperador Constantino.
La pregunta que nos debemos hacer cada uno es, quien es mas importante? Dios o los hombres? Seguiremos las tradiciones de los hombres ciegamente, simplemente porque muchas personas las siguen? O seguiremos A Dios, y Su Palabra?
Yo ya he tomado mi decision, seguire A Cristo Jesus hasta la muerte, y para mi es demasiado claro que El Quiere que mantenga Sus Mandamientos. No hay razon para llegar a faltar al cuarto Mandamiento, el cual es un dia Especial En Honor A El.
Si verdaderamente Amo A Dios, no tengo excusa. Mantendre Sus Mandamientos; Esto por supuesto es una decision personal mia, y todos nosotros tenemos decisiones por tomar.
Mi trabajo no es juzgar a nadie, cada cual escoge lo que desea. Esto Es Amor, darnos libre albeldrio.
Yo no puedo jamas juzgar a nadie. Sin embargo, continuare compartiendo La Verdad para que otros tomen ventaja de las bendiciones gratuitas que podemos obtener al escuchar La Palabra De Dios.
5. El resto de lo que escribe sobre las recompensas del sábado son muy respetables pero muy subjetivas. También podemos hablar de muchas personas que guardando el domingo u otro día de la semana obtuvieron miles de gracias, porque, para poner sus términos, no hay un pasaje en el N.T. que asegure algo semejante exclusivo para los sábados. Entonces estoy seguro de que fue así con usted el sábado. Por eso no es prudente referirse a eso. Escríbame por favor hermanazo. Estoy pendiente. Un abrazo
ReplyDeleteLas Palabras De Cristo Jesus:
DeleteMateo 5:19
19 De manera que cualquiera que quebrante uno de estos mandamientos muy pequeños, y así enseñe a los hombres, muy pequeño será llamado en el reino de los cielos; mas cualquiera que los haga y los enseñe, éste será llamado grande en el reino de los cielos.
Es prudente escuchar A Dios, Obedecer Su Palabra, y compartirla con otros :)
Juan 14:15-31
15 Si me amáis, guardad mis mandamientos;
16 Y yo rogaré al Padre, y os dará otro Consolador, para que esté con vosotros para siempre:
17 Al Espíritu de verdad, al cual el mundo no puede recibir, porque no le ve, ni le conoce: mas vosotros le conocéis; porque está con vosotros, y será en vosotros.
18 No os dejaré huérfanos: vendré á vosotros.
19 Aun un poquito, y el mundo no me verá más; empero vosotros me veréis; porque yo vivo, y vosotros también viviréis.
20 En aquel día vosotros conoceréis que yo estoy en mi Padre, y vosotros en mí, y yo en vosotros.
21 El que tiene mis mandamientos, y los guarda, aquél es el que me ama; y el que me ama, será amado de mi Padre, y yo le amaré, y me manifestaré á él.
22 Dícele Judas, no el Iscariote: Señor, ¿qué hay porque te hayas de manifestar á nosotros, y no al mundo?
23 Respondió Jesús, y díjole: El que me ama, mi palabra guardará; y mi Padre le amará, y vendremos á él, y haremos con él morada.
24 El que no me ama, no guarda mis palabras: y la palabra que habéis oído, no es mía, sino del Padre que me envió.
25 Estas cosas os he hablado estando con vosotros.
26 Mas el Consolador, el Espíritu Santo, al cual el Padre enviará en mi nombre, él os enseñará todas las cosas, y os recordará todas las cosas que os he dicho.
27 La paz os dejo, mi paz os doy: no como el mundo la da, yo os la doy. No se turbe vuestro corazón, ni tenga miedo.
Ser obedientes A Dios o no, es una decision muy personal de cada persona.
La Obediencia A Dios trae bendiciones.
Es posible obtener bendiciones en dias Domingos, Lunes, Martes o cualquier otro dia; Dios Es Amor.
Sin embargo, Sus Mandamientos Son especificos y todos traen Bendiciones Especiales.
La obediencia es esencial. Cristo Jesus Fue 100% Obediente hasta la muerte, y El Desea que nosotros tambien lo seamos, que caminemos como El Camino.
1 Juan 5:3-12
3 Pues este es el amor a Dios, que guardemos sus mandamientos; y sus mandamientos no son gravosos.
4 Porque todo lo que es nacido de Dios vence al mundo; y esta es la victoria que ha vencido al mundo, nuestra fe.
5 ¿Quién es el que vence al mundo, sino el que cree que Jesús es el Hijo de Dios?
1 Juan 2:4
4 El que dice: Yo le conozco, y no guarda sus mandamientos, el tal es mentiroso, y la verdad no está en él;
Es importante recordar que Dios ve lo que hay en el corazon de los hombres. Entre mas conocimiento poseemos, mas responsables somos. Si conocemos poco, seremos juzgados basado en lo poco que conocemos, pero si conocemos mucho, en lo mucho seremos juzgados.

ReplyDeleteMiguel, lo mejor es ir por partes para que se respondan todos los argumentos esgrimidos. Digamos, usted dice que el primer día de la semana sólo se nombra 8 veces en el N.T. ¿Cuántas veces se cita otro día de la semana en el N.T.? ¿Cuántas veces se nombra al sábado para encumbrarlo como día de reposo de los cristianos? ¿Se referencia alguna vez que los cristianos se congregaron un sábado para la fracción del pan? (está escrito que se reunían asiduamente, pero no concretamente un sábado como sí pasa con el primer día). Comparto que 8 sean pocas veces para ser nombrado un día importante, pero lo sería más si el carácter preceptual del sábado para los cristianos se nombrara muchas veces (excluyendo, entiendo, las veces que lo destacan para el mal uso que hacían del él los judíos). En una palabra, Miguel en el enlace que lanza denuncia que nunca se dice textualmente que "el primer día de la semana es el día de reposo", pero no se ven muchas veces en que se diga enfáticamente que lo seguirá siendo el sábado. Me entiende? Si se menciona el sábado en el N.T. no es para ponderar su seguimiento, sino para evidenciar lo mal que se guardaba. Pero, digamos, nunca se evangeliza en los pasajes de Hechos o de los libros subsiguientes con pregones como: "Reconozcan a Cristo como el Señor, bautícense y... guarden el sábado!!". Nunca se hace una afirmación tan tajante que debería ser instrucción imprescindible para un cristiano bajo la lógica que usted señala. Y tampoco creo que este acto se haya omitido en la Escritura a causa de que la naturaleza del mandamiento daba a entender que era innecesario reiterar el reposo del séptimo día. No era obvio dadas las amenazas judaizantes que tanto impugnaban a la primera iglesia. En cambio, la única alusión tajante del sábado es ese pasaje de Colosenses que usted descarta apelando a razones gramaticales en un texto antiguo de cuyo contenido estamos leyendo una traducción. Pero no. Eso es lo que le decía, ir argumento por argumento. Dejemos el de Colosenses para después. Sólo remitámonos al argumento de cantidad de días. ¿El número exiguo en que se nombra al primer día de la semana como escenario no es superior a las veces en que se nombran los demás días incluyendo el sábado? ¿El número de veces en que se registra que se reunieron los domingos no es mayor que el que se registra que se congregaban los sábados? ¿Por qué nombran este día y no otros días? ¿Por qué no se ilustra una sola vez cómo los primeros cristianos debían guardar el sábado considerando que ellos lo debían llevar si los resabios de los judíos, y a la vez presentar, como inevitablemente debió pasar, que este mandato tuvo que tener tantos problemas como el de la circuncisión en los gentiles? ¿Considerando la situación social de los cristianos gentiles, por la cual muchos eran esclavos, no se les dificultaba inmensamente guardar el sábado? ¿Este precepto no se identificaría con uno de los varios que hubieran significado un lastre para la expansión de la Doctrina en los territorios no judíos?
ReplyDeleteAparte, creo que es una pregunta capciosa cuando en ese enlace indaga cuántas veces se dice que el primer día de la semana era el día reposo, cuando 6 de las 8 ocasiones forman parte de los evangelios. Considerando que la tesis según la cual el domingo es el día sagrado cristiano en memoria de la Resurrección, es innecesario explicar por qué los apóstoles hasta la muerte de Cristo (y seguramente años después) guardaron el sábado, , eso no se discute. Bueno, espero que me siga la idea. Intentar tratar un punto a la vez. Ya ve que es difícil pero intentémoslo. Un abrazo Miguel.
