					<description><![CDATA[Martin Luther was a catholic monk, who started the protestant reformation in the 16th century,he  started the changes that changed completely the nature of christianity. He seperated from Rome ,after realising that the Catholic Church was the long prophesied &#039;&#039;Apostacy of( 2 thessalonians 2:9-12). He published 95 theses at the wittenburg chapel  where he studied theology after reading the Holy scriptures in the Book of Romans 5:1, that a man can be justified and saved through righteousness by faith not actions as it is being taught by the Catholic church. He was then later summoned by Pope Leo X, but he had previously threatened with excommunication he was summoned in the council of Diet of worms but he refused to recant his faith. That was back in the year 1520.

Luther was officially excommunicated from the  Roman Catholic Church on January 1521, and the council released the edict of worms and banned Luther&#039;s writings he was later to be declared to be a &#039;&#039;convicted heretic&#039;&#039;this made him condemned and a wanted man. Friends  helped to hide in wartburg castle. He believed that the Pope was tha antichrist of the Bible prophecy  and that he sitteth at the seat of Satan. If today Martin Luther resurrected from the death, he will be shocked to see his lutheran descendants now praising and paying the homage to Rome.

All the gains that were made by protestant reformation were reversed, and that all protestant churches have renounced the bible and have embraced Rome and it&#039;s traditions. In 2017, all the protestant churches convened an ecumenical meeting and declared that Pope of Rome is &#039;&#039;Brother in Christ&#039;&#039; all the roads all leading to Rome. This  was a very sad day for protestanism after 500 years.The Jesuits succeeded by infiltrating all the protestant churches and the last church to  be controlled by Rome was the Seventh Day Adventist church.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Now some argue that in the New Testament there is no explicit command to keep the 7th-day Sabbath. 
I would ask, does the New Testament really need to have an explicit command to keep the 7th-day Sabbath? Even the New Testament Christians understood that God&#039;s Holy Law was immutable, and that they had to keep all 10.
These Individuals might use this as their argument, however I can also say there is no explicit command to keep sunday or any other day as a Holy day of rest in the entire Bible - both in the Old and New Testaments.

Nonetheless I have good news for those who believe that the New Testament does not have no explicit command of keeping the 7th-day Sabbath. Lets take a look at Hebrews chapter 4. Also, that God gives a serious warning for those who will not enter into His rest/7th-day Sabbath:

“1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 
2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. 
3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 
4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. 
5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. 
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: 
7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. 
8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. 
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 
11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. ”
Hebrews 4:1-11 KJV

Breakdown:
Verse 1: Let us reverence and respect God as the Creator and Redeemer by keeping His 7th-day Sabbath Holy, lest we miss the promise and blessings that come from it.

Verse 2: The Gospel was preached but some did not profit from it because it was not mingled with faith - not demonstrated.

Verse 3: Those of us who believed the Gospel, demonstrated our faith in it by resting(keeping the 7th-day sabbath Holy) as God did in Genesis 2:1-3. But there are consequences if we do not.

Verse 4: more support for verse 3. He spoke in a certain place of the 7th day in this manner... This is a direct reference back to Genesis 2:2.

Verse 5: Because I created them and can redeem them they are to keep my rest day -  God&#039;s 7th-day Sabbath. 

Verse 6: There are some, who do not know about His 7th-day Sabbath and have not kept it yet. But there are those who do not keep it because of unbelief. 

Verse 7: God limited a certain day, or He set aside or instituted the 7th-day Sabbath, peculiar from all the others days. If you have heard the 7th-day Sabbath Truth, harden not your hearts against the Word of God.

Verse 8: If Jesus had given them another day of rest or another Sabbath day, He would have spoken of it.

Verse 9: Therefore, their remains the 7th-day Sabbath for God&#039;s people. 

Verse 10: When we keep the 7th-day Sabbath Holy, we will cease from our own works as God did in Genesis 2.

Verse 11: Let us strive to keep all of God&#039;s Commandments - His Holy Law including the 7th-day Sabbath Holy. 

‐‐----------------------------‐----------------

“Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. ”
Revelation 14:7 KJV

Worship Him that made.... This is a direct reference to Creation in Genesis 2:1-3 and the 4th Commandment in Exodus 20:8-11:

“1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. ”
Genesis 2:1-3 KJV

“8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. ”
Exodus 20:8-11 KJV


Let no one feel the necessity by coercion, force, or fear-mungering by men to keep commandments of men. Only God the Creator and the Redeemer deserves worship:
“But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. ”Matthew 15:9 KJV]]></description>
