In reading the Catholic Catechism and other works written by men, and after you have meditated upon these things, this knowledge, do you ever feel as though something is not quite right; perhaps as though the writer is so close but not right in the thick of the truth? I was raised in the protestant church and never really questioned the "truth" I was given. Then I found Christ, and a whole kingdom of questions came forth. What I found, and not through the dictates of man, nor even through my own seeking heart, but through that same spirit that God put upon Jesus, who was later given to me, was a truth of revelation status, in that I came to trust His truth as given to me through His Holy Spirit rather thatn trust the limited knowledge and wisdom of men.
God created the heavens and the earth in 6 days, thus finishing His creation in those 6 days. The 7th day was the day that HE proclaimed as the Holy day of days, in fact He went on to specifically address this day many times in the OT as HIS Sabbath day, not a day to remind men to remember Him or the things that He has done for men, but HIS day in which His creation (man) was to honor Him, praise Him, Meditate upon Him, spend time with Him as the heavenly Father of all men. The "eighth day" came later, in fact, all other sabbaths and Holy days came AFTER the Sabbath which God the Father PROCLAIMED as HIS, and He went so far as to say that His curse would fall upon nay and all who did not honor His Sabbath and keep it Holy.
When Jesus became the Christ, He fulfilled the law, the prophets and the first covenant. He did not circumvent the Law that God had established, but fulfilled it. He did not come here to judge man, nor to change His Fathers House, but to occupy that House in the fulfilment of the law, whereas He, as the Word of God is written upon our hearts and fills our minds, changing our eternal makeup from that of darkness to that of light, thus re-aligning our spiritual realities to match that of God the Father and Creator of all the heavens and the earth.
I write these things not to rebuke you or to judge you in any way, I cannot; but I say these things that you might meditate,in spirit and in truth, upon the revelation of our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus. We MUST look beyond the box that Christiandom has created, and see the Kingdom as God desires us to see it - in Spirit and in Truth. But the only way to do this is to be truely born of His spirit, just as Jesus said to Nicodemus in John 3:3-7.
May the God of love and mercy open your eyes that you may see whay He sees; open your ears that you may hear what He hears; open your heart that you may feel what He feels and receive His truth; Open your mind that you may accept His truth; open your mouth that you may speak what He speaks; all to His glory.
