    Episode 103: Stop in the Name of God: Remembering THE Seventh Day Sabbath

    Stop in the Name of God: Remembering THE Seventh Day Sabbath Friends, we are living in an age of exhaustion. Not just physical exhaustion — spiritual exhaustion. We are busy, but rarely at peace. Connected, but rarely present. Productive, but often empty. And into this restless world, God speaks a command that sounds almost offensive to modern ears: “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” Not suggest. Not consider. But remember. Today, we’re not exploring tradition or preference. We are asking a simple biblical question: Why did God set apart the seventh day of the week — Saturday — as holy, and what does that still mean for us today?  The Seventh Day Was Established at Creation Before there was a Jew or a Gentile… Before there was sin, sacrifice, or ceremony… There was the seventh day. Genesis 2 tells us: “Thus the heavens and the earth were finished… And on the seventh day God ended His work… and He rested… Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it.” Notice what Scripture does not say. It does not say God blessed a concept. It does not say God blessed rest in general. It says He blessed the seventh day. Time itself was sanctified. God did not rest because He was weary. He rested because He was finished — and He wanted humanity to live from completion, not striving. The Sabbath was not created for Israel alone. It was created for humanity. From Eden forward, the rhythm was clear: Six days — labor. Seventh day — rest, communion, delight in God.  The Fourth Commandment and the Specificity of the Day When God spoke the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20, He could have said, “Keep a Sabbath day.” But He didn’t. He said: “Remember the Sabbath day… Six days you shall labor… But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God.” The command is not vague. It is precise. The reason God gives is not culture. Not convenience. Not resurrection timing. The reason is creation: “For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth… and rested the seventh day.” This matters deeply. Because creation precedes Israel. Creation precedes Sinai. Creation precedes the ceremonial law. The Sabbath command points backward — not forward — to Eden. And notice something else: The Sabbath command is the longest of the Ten. It is the only one that begins with “remember.” And it contains a promise of rest not just for the believer, but for servants, strangers, and even animals. The Sabbath reveals God’s heart: No one is expendable. No one is owned by productivity. No one works endlessly in God’s kingdom.  The Sabbath as a Covenant Sign — Not Abolished In Exodus 31, God calls the Sabbath: “A sign between Me and you… throughout your generations.” A sign of what? That God is the Creator. That God is the Sanctifier. That His people trust Him enough to stop. Some argue that because the Sabbath was a sign, it no longer matters. But Scripture never says the Sabbath was r Send us your questions to be featured on the next podcast! Thank you for being part of the AskGod365 podcast community.

    Episode 100: Biblical Basis for THE Seventh-Day Sabbath

    Biblical Basis for THE Seventh-Day Sabbath This study was inspired by listening to Charlie Kirk speak about his convictions on the seventh-day Sabbath at the Dream City Church in Phoenix, Arizona, March 29, 2025. A Biblical FAQ Handout (Designed for printing, study groups, and personal reflection) What is the Sabbath? The Sabbath is the seventh day of the week (Saturday), set apart by God at creation as a day of rest, worship, and communion with Him. “And on the seventh day God ended His work… Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it.” — Genesis 2:2–3 The Sabbath is not merely rest from work; it is time made holy by God. When did the Sabbath begin? The Sabbath began at Creation, before sin, before Israel, and before the Ten Commandments. Because it originates in Genesis, the Sabbath is rooted in God’s design for humanity, not merely in Jewish law. Which day is the biblical Sabbath? Scripture consistently identifies the Sabbath as the seventh day. “The seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God.” — Exodus 20:10 In the biblical calendar, the seventh day corresponds to Saturday, from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday. Why does the Fourth Commandment matter today? The Fourth Commandment is part of the Ten Commandments, spoken by God and written by His own finger. Unlike ceremonial laws tied to sacrifices, the Sabbath command: Points back to CreationIs moral and relational in natureProtects rest, worship, and human dignity Did Jesus abolish the Sabbath? No. Jesus kept the Sabbath, taught on it, and declared Himself Lord of the Sabbath. “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.” — Mark 2:27 Jesus corrected abuses of the Sabbath but never cancelled the day itself.  Did the resurrection change the Sabbath to Sunday? The Bible never records a command changing the Sabbath from the seventh day to the first day. While the resurrection is foundational to Christian faith, Scripture: Never calls Sunday the SabbathNever commands rest on SundayNever transfers the blessing of the seventh dayIs the Sabbath only for Jews? No. The Sabbath was made before there were Jews. “The Sabbath was made for man.” — Mark 2:27 Isaiah also speaks of foreigners who honor the Sabbath and are welcomed by God (Isaiah 56:6–7). What about Paul’s writings about not judging over Sabbath days? Paul addresses ceremonial Sabbaths tied to feast days and rituals, not the weekly seventh-day Sabbath rooted in Creation. Paul himself regularly worshiped on the Sabbath, even among Gentiles (Acts 13, 16, 17).  Does keeping the Sabbath mean we are saved by works? No. Salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Sabbath-keeping is not a means of salvation, but a response to salvation. Resting on the Sabbath is an act of faith that declares: “The work is finished.” What does Hebrews 4 mean when it speaks of ‘rest’? Hebrews teaches that Send us your questions to be featured on the next podcast! Thank you for being part of the AskGod365 podcast community.

    Episode 101: THE Seventh-Day Sabbath- Answering Common Questions with Scripture

    THE Seventh-Day Sabbath — Answering Common Questions with Scripture Welcome back, friends. In our last episode, we talked about God’s call to stop — to remember the seventh-day Sabbath as a gift rooted in creation, affirmed in the Ten Commandments, and honored by Jesus Himself. Today, we’re going to do something important. We’re going to slow down and thoughtfully address some of the most common questions and objections people raise when the seventh-day Sabbath is discussed. Not to win arguments. Not to divide believers. But to let Scripture speak clearly, calmly, and honestly. Question 1: “Didn’t Jesus do away with the Sabbath?”  Short answer: No. Jesus never abolished the Sabbath. He corrected false teachings about it. Jesus said: “Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill.” To fulfill does not mean to erase — it means to bring to full meaning. Jesus kept the Sabbath. He taught on the Sabbath. He healed on the Sabbath. And when accused of breaking it, He responded: “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.” If Jesus ended the Sabbath, He wouldn’t call Himself Lord of something obsolete. Question 2: “Didn’t the resurrection change the Sabbath to Sunday?”  The resurrection of Christ is central to our faith — amen. But nowhere in Scripture does God say the Sabbath was changed because of it. There is no command in the Bible transferring Sabbath holiness from the seventh day to the first day. The resurrection is celebrated every day by believers. The Sabbath is a specific day God blessed at creation. These are two different truths. The New Testament mentions believers gathering on the first day of the week — but gathering is not the same as Sabbath sanctification. Scripture never calls Sunday the Sabbath. Never commands rest on Sunday. Never blesses the first day the way Genesis blesses the seventh. Question 3: “Isn’t the Sabbath just for Jews?”  This is a common belief — but it doesn’t match Scripture. The Sabbath was created in Genesis, not Exodus. That’s before there was a Jew. Jesus said: “The Sabbath was made for man.” Not for Israel only. Not for Jews only. For man — humanity. Isaiah even speaks of foreigners who keep the Sabbath and are welcomed by God. The Sabbath predates Israel and extends beyond it. Question 4: “Doesn’t Paul say we shouldn’t judge over Sabbath days?”  This usually points to passages like Colossians 2 and Romans 14. In Colossians, Paul is addressing ceremonial Sabbaths — feast days connected to sacrifices and yearly festivals. These were shadows pointing to Christ. The weekly seventh-day Sabbath is different. It predates the ceremonial system. It stands in the Ten Commandments — written by God’s own finger. Paul never tells believers to stop keeping the Sabbath. He tells them not to be judged by human traditions and ritual requirements. Paul himself continued Sabbath worship — even among Gentiles. Question 5: “If we keep the Sabbath, aren’t we saved by works?”  This is an important quest Send us your questions to be featured on the next podcast!

    Episode 98: Eternal Torment or Annihilationism? What Does the Bible Teach?

    Eternal Torment or Annihilationism? What Does the Bible Teach?  Let's take a step-by step Biblical journey on what the Word teaches on Eternal Torment and Annihilationism  The Bible’s Primary Language for the Fate of the Wicked Is “Death,” “Destruction,” and “Perish”More than 200+ verses describe the end of sinners using terms that plainly imply ending, not endless suffering. Key Words: “Perish,” “Destroy,” “Death,” “Consumed,” “Burned Up” John 3:16 “...whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” The contrast is clear: everlasting life vs. perishing (not everlasting torment).Matthew 10:28 “Fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” “Destroy” (Greek apollymi) means to kill, ruin, bring to an end.Jesus does not say God will preserve the soul forever in torment.Romans 6:23 “The wage of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life…” Again, the contrast is death vs. eternal life—not “eternal life in torment.”2 Thessalonians 1:9 “These will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction…” Eternal destruction describes a result, not an ongoing process.As “eternal salvation” is a final permanent result, so is “eternal destruction.”Psalms 37 (repeated theme) “...the wicked will be no more… like smoke they vanish away” (v. 10, 20). They “vanish,” not “exist forever.” Hellfire Is Described as Consuming and Burning UpThe Old and New Testaments consistently depict divine judgment as a fire that destroys, not one that keeps its victims alive. Malachi 4:1–3 “The day is coming... all the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble… the day that comes shall burn them up, leaving them neither root nor branch… they will be ashes under the soles of your feet.” This is: totalconsumingirreversible destruction.Not eternal suffering—but ashes. Hebrews 10:27 “...a raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.” To consume means to destroy, devour entirely. Matthew 3:12 “The chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire.” “Unquenchable” means no one can put it out—not that it never goes out.It burns until nothing remains (just like the “unquenchable fires” that destroyed Jerusalem in Jer. 17:27). The Old Testament Pattern of God’s Judgment Is Destruction, Not Eternal TortureWhen God judges in the OT—with Sodom, the Flood, the Canaanites, Korah’s rebellion—the outcome is always death, not ongoing conscious torment. The NT explicitly says: 2 Peter 2:6 “...turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes, He condemned them to extinction, making them an example…” Extinction is the pattern and “example” of final judgment. The Soul Is Not Described as Naturally ImmortalEternal torment requires the wicked to li Send us your questions to be featured on the next podcast!

    Episode 99: God's Character Attacked: Annihilationism vs. Eternal Torment

    God's Character Attacked:  Annihilationism vs. Eternal Torment Our goal today is to present: Balanced biblical reasoning• Clear presentation of annihilationism as a biblical, logical, and compassionate viewWe’re going to walk through one of the most sensitive and often misunderstood subjects in Christian theology: the final fate of the lost. This is not an abstract curiosity. It touches: • the character of God, • the nature of sin, • and the hope we proclaim to the world. And as always—our goal is to approach the Scriptures honestly, respectfully, and with a pastor’s heart. Many sincere Christians disagree on this topic, and we extend grace to one another. But today, I want to present—clearly, biblically, and compassionately—why I believe Scripture teaches the annihilation of the wicked, sometimes called conditional immortality, rather than eternal conscious torment. And I’ll do it with a side-by-side comparison, integrated throughout the episode so we can see the differences plainly. So let’s walk gently, slowly, and prayerfully into God’s Word together. PART 1: DEFINING THE TWO VIEWS  Let’s begin by defining terms.  Eternal Conscious Torment (ECT)This view teaches that the lost will experience never-ending, conscious suffering in hell—forever—without relief, without end. Common phrases include: “eternal punishment”“unending conscious torment”“everlasting misery” Annihilationism / Conditional Immortality (CI)This view teaches: Only God is naturally immortal (1 Tim. 6:16)Eternal life is a gift given only to the saved (John 3:16)The wicked will be judged, punished, and finally destroyedThey cease to exist—they are not immortal sinners living forever in tormentThis is not “no punishment.” It’s real judgment, but it is judgment that ends in death, not endless suffering. PART 2: THE WEIGHT OF SCRIPTURE —  Let’s look at the language Scripture overwhelmingly uses when describing the fate of the wicked. SIDE-BY-SIDE COMPARISON #1 — Key Biblical Verbs Concept | Eternal Torment View | Annihilation ViewNature of punishment | everlasting suffering | final destruction Key verbs used | “torment,” “weeping” | destroy, perish, consume, burn up, die Duration | ongoing forever | permanent consequences, not ongoing suffering Now—let’s walk through the Scriptures themselves.  Jesus’ own words emphasize “destruction.”Matthew 10:28 “Fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” The Greek apollymi means: destroy, annihilate, bring to nothing, kill, lose life. Jesus never says: “Fear the One who will torment the soul without end.” He explicitly says: the soul and body are destroyed.  “Perish” means perish — not live forever in misery.John 3:16 “For God so loved the world… that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” If the wicked suffer eternally, then they have eter Send us your questions to be featured on the next podcast!

    Episode 97: Ray Comfort or Kirk Cameron? What Really Happens to the Wicked? A Biblical Case for Annihilationism

    "Ray Comfort or Kirk Cameron? What Really Happens to the Wicked? A Biblical Case for Annihilationism” Today we’re stepping into a topic that has stirred hearts and minds for centuries: What is the final fate of the wicked after judgment? Not with harshness. Not with fear-driven tradition. But with Scripture, with reason, and with a spirit of compassion. I want to walk with you through this gently, honestly, and biblically. Because what we believe about God’s judgment shapes what we believe about God’s character. SETTING THE TONE Before we begin, let me say this: This topic is not about trying to soften God’s justice. It’s about honoring what God actually says, and allowing His heart to define the doctrine — not medieval art, not cultural assumptions, not inherited tradition. God is love. God is just. And God is truthful. So His Word deserves to be heard on its own terms. THE CENTRAL QUESTION Today’s question is this: Does Scripture teach that the wicked will experience eternal conscious torment… or does it teach annihilation — the final destruction of the unrepentant? Let’s go straight to the Bible. PART 1 — WHAT SCRIPTURE ACTUALLY SAYS ABOUT THE WICKED The Bible uses many words to describe the final fate of the lost: PerishDieBe destroyedConsumedBurned upBecome ashesThe second deathThese are not the words of eternal conscious agony. These are words of finality, of ending, of cessation. Let’s hear Jesus Himself: John 3:16 “Whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” Notice the contrast. Jesus does not say, “shall not suffer forever.” He says, “shall not perish.” Eternal life is given to the redeemed — not the wicked. And Paul affirms this: Romans 6:23 “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life.” If eternal conscious torment were true, Paul would have needed to say, “The wages of sin is eternal suffering.” But he didn’t. He said death. Real death. Final death. The second death. PART 2 — IMMORTALITY IS NOT AUTOMATIC One of the most important biblical truths is this: Humans are not inherently immortal. Paul says: 1 Timothy 6:16 God alone has immortality. And in 1 Corinthians 15, he tells believers: “This mortal must put on immortality.” If immortality must be put on, then the wicked do not automatically receive it. Only the saved inherit eternal life. Only the saved put on immortality. The wicked do not live forever — in heaven or in hell. PART 3 — JESUS ON GOD'S FINAL JUDGMENT Jesus gives one of the clearest statements in Matthew 10:28: “Fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” Not torment forever. Not preserve eternally. But destroy. Jesus uses the same Greek word for “destroy” that He uses for: “destroyinSend us your questions to be featured on the next podcast!
