Scriptures to Answer the Top EVANGELICAL LIES About the Sabbath

Mark 2:27
[27]And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
– The Sabbath was made for man. This means the Sabbath Commandment is a BLESSING to Humankind, not a curse. It doesn’t mean that it’s no longer a valid Commandment. That’s a lie.

Mark 2:28
[28]Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
– The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath. This means that Jesus our Lord is the Lord, Ruler, of the Sabbath, not the violator or canceler of His Father’s Sabbath. That’s a lie.

Matthew 12:12
[12]How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
– Jesus did not violate the Sabbath, He did WELL on the Sabbath. That means He did good things like heal people, teach people save lives, cast out devils, fellowship with His disciples, and do His normal ministry work on the Sabbath.

Mark 15:10
[10]For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
– In their ignorance, many evangelical Christians assume that Jesus was against the Sabbath because the Pharisees ACCUSED Him of violating the Sabbath. That’s also a lie.

The Pharisees were ACCUSING Him of violating the Sabbth because they were ENVIOUS of His supernatural ministry. Their ministry was expired, and Jesus’s High Priesthood was “UP NEXT”. They were desperate to invalidate His work by ACCUSING Him of doing His personal work, not ministry work on the Sabbath.

Answer these Questions: Do Priests Work on the Sabbath? Is Jesus Our High Priest? Did the Pharisees want His Priesthood to replace theirs?

If you answer these questions honestly it will be easy to understand why the LYING Pharisees ACCUSED Jesus of breaking the Sabbath while He never actually did – He was just doing His Ministry work on the Sabbath as normal.

Matthew 5:17
[17]Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

– Another many Christians tell is that Jesus did away with the Law. He did NOT do away with His Father’s 10 Commandments.

What actually happened at the cross? The gospel did fulfill the ordinances of separation (Eph 2:15, Colossians 2:14) between Jew & Gentile, and the Holy Ghost came to set us apart much better than tassels and Israelite feast days could (Colossians 2:16-17). The New Covenant fulfilled and exceeded the righteousness of the Old Covenant. (Hebrews 8:13)

However Not One of the 10 Commandments was done away with because they are actually the Fathers Law of Love, and they go HAND IN HAND with the Great Commandments – to Love God with all HSMS (1-5) and to Love Neighbor as Self (6-10)… because the Father and the Son ARE ONE in Unity!

As soon as all true believers discover that the 10 Commandments go Hand in Hand with the 2 Great Commandments, and that the Father and the Son are One, not divided… we will also be One in Unity with the Father and the Son. This will answer Jesus’s prayer in John 17:

John 17:20-23
[20]Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
[21]That THEY ALL MAY BE ONE; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that THEY ALSO MAY BE ONE IN US: THAT THE WORLD MAY BELIEVE that thou hast sent me.
[22]And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that THEY MAY BE ONE, even AS WE ARE ONE:
[23]I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made PERFECT IN ONE; and that THE WORLD MAY KNOW that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

As soon as we become one in the Commandments of the Father and the Son – THE WORLD WILL KNOW THAT JESUS THE SON WAS SENT BY GOD THE FATHER. That’s a much better evangelism strategy than anything your evangelical organization can come up with.
