According to the Bible the Sabbath must be on Saturday

Comment: – The Bible definitely says that the Sabbath Day is Saturday, not Sunday.

Not keeping it on Saturday is a sin. The penalty is death. How many Bible Believers know their penalty is death for not observing the Saturday Sabbath? Check your calendar.

In analyzing the Bible it was quite a surprise to me that the Seventh Day Adventist are actually Scriptural in this.

How many Bible Believers actually do on the Sabbath what is expected of them by the following verses? Do no work on it, etc. Very few! The penalty is death!!

Matthew 5:17 – 19*

17. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

( Jesus says all Bible law in detail is to be obeyed until heaven passes away {forever})

(The law and commandments, including the sabbath commandment must be obeyed according to Jesus. It must be kept if you are a serious Jesus follower)

Also: Luke 16:17

And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

Exodus 20:8 *

8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

13. If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, [from] doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking [thine own] words:

14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it].

Exodus 31:14 *

14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it [is] holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth [any] work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

Repeat Comment: A lot of people are keeping the 1st day of the week as their Sabbath which according to the Bible has to be the 7th day of the week. If the sabbath is not kept on the 7th day of the week it is a sin and that person deserves the death penalty according to the Bible.
