Sabbath: What Happened? — 11 Comments

  1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Gen 1:1.

    The sixth day was the end of all good things, the end of everything that was made in this earth and the starry heaven. Everything was perfect, lacking nothing. The Three in One dwell with humans in perfect harmony. No taint of sin was present. The lion dwelled with the lamb and Adam and Eve had dominion over every living creature in sky, land and sea. I cant even imagine what that felt like. The sun was the perfect strength, so was the moon and stars, all sang praises to our creator.

    My testimony- today some work mates and I were speaking and I said to one who I call my daughter, we should all do DNA test and I would be glad to see the result. She was saying what she thought she was. I brought up the text in Acts 17:36 that we are all the same and we came from one blood. Despite our outward color, we are all created from our creator and we are all the same. Only one male and female were created.

  2. The story of creation is important for us living now. COVID-19 shows us that we are nothing without Christ. Last year in Italy or other places in the world, if you were old, the hospital didn't take care of you. In this lesson, it shows that God cares about every human being. In Galatians 3:28
    "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." I know that my God loves and creates (bara) me in His image.
    We have to remember that our values do not depend on how people see or treat us, it is found in Jesus giving His life for us. In psalms 139: 14,
    "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well (NIV)." Let us enjoy the sabbath which reminds us that He is our creator. This is the day that the Lord has made, let US REJOICE and be GLAD in it. Happy sabbath saints and beloved.

  3. Please can someone assist with an answer to the question “what was the purpose of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil?

    • We often say that the tree was a "test." I view it instead as protection from satan and sin. Sin had already entered the universe, and satan was limited to tempt Adam and Eve only from that one tree.

    • Emily, I found an interesting chapter in one of EG Whites writings entitled: "To Those Who Are Receiving The Seal of God". It verifies that the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is used universally to test the beings that He has created. Here is a small portion of it.

      The Lord has given me a view of other worlds. Wings were given me, and an angel attended me from the city to a place that was bright and glorious. The grass of the place was living green, and the birds there warbled a sweet song. The inhabitants of the place were of all sizes, they were noble, majestic and lovely. They bore the express image of Jesus, and their countenances beamed with holy joy, expressive of the freedom and happiness of the place. I asked one of them why they were so much more lovely than those on the earth. The reply was—“we have lived in strict obedience to the commandments of God, and have not fallen by disobedience, like those on the earth.” Then I saw two trees, one looked much like the tree of life in the city. The fruit of both looked beautiful; but of one they could not eat. They had power to eat of both, but were forbidden to eat of one. Then my attending angel said to me—“none in this place have tasted of the forbidden tree; but if they should eat they would fall.”

  4. What Happened? Man and Women sinned, or if you prefer separated themselves from God. Can we blame Adam and Eve? No, but since He has shown us what is good, and what is required of us, we can do justly, and love mercy, and walk humbly with our God. Micah 6:8. I would say 2 Corinthians 7:14 comes into play also, for we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23.
