Seven days

Seven days
Back 2022
I was seeking his truth, not seeking if he’s real, I been known he’s real, I mean seeking he’s truth, just wasn’t sure what I was looking, which lead me here, I was skeptical entering this 9th church especially well put together building, you see back 2004 I was age 14
Long story short, Let’s just say those people scare me, having trust issues with church people,

But to my surprises, you guys are welcoming to me, & loving people, most important I learned “sabbath “ a few months continuing visit I stumble a video on TikTok,
She was teaching “facts from the bible”
She’s Jewish and she shared her story experiences of the church, that I’m attending
She said nothing good about them,
I showed my pastor the video she made

He explained with scripture Galatians 3:7&29

“If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3‬:‭29‬ ‭

He told me“be aware she doesn’t shake your faith”

Didn’t effect me
I understood her but this people, the church are real deal to me, iv encounter corrupt churches, these people are misunderstood

Fast forward 2026
Portland from NC

I miss those people, so years iv learned sabbath
Doesn’t start Friday sundown ends Saturday sundowns

According to the bible
Start only Saturday morning till night

“It is good to praise the Lord and make music to your name, O Most High,”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭92‬:‭1‬ ‭

“proclaiming your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night,”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭92‬:‭2‬ ‭

If people try to ended early

Wouldn’t that be stumbling one point?

“For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.”
‭‭James‬ ‭2‬:‭10‬ ‭

Park on sabbath (nothing wrong with that)

**I’m keeping my cool**
Trying to Breath in & out
Earlier that sabbath (Saturday )
Someone suggested walk in the park ( cause it’s usually my weekly routine)
I said no usually I don’t do things on that day, I was told don’t sound like Pharisees, there just people with laws no love,

I got offended because I’m trying to explain different

Going to the park to walk to me thats for my “pleasure”

If going to park I suggest to read the bible or swap scripture of a stories now that is something I’d rather do, instead walking for my pleasure

““If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath and from doing as you please on my holy day, if you call the Sabbath a delight and the Lord’s holy day honorable, and if you honor it by not going your own way and not doing as you please or speaking idle words,”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭58‬:‭13

By the way nothing wrong being righteous

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭6‬

I believe GOD like the righteous
People in this world, prosecute you for acting on it.

Plus

“For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭20‬ ‭
It okay being righteous, just do it with loving people

“In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers and sisters, to keep away from every believer who is idle and disruptive and does not live according to the teaching you received from us.”
‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭3‬:‭6‬ ‭

“Yet do not regard them as an enemy, but warn them as you would a fellow believer.”
‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭3‬:‭15‬
