The Bible never records Jesus saying the precise words, “I am
God.” That does not mean, however, that He did not proclaim
that He is God. Take for example Jesus’ words in John 10:30, “I and
the Father are one.” We need only to look at the Jews’ reaction to His
statement to know He was claiming to be God. They tried to stone Him
for this very reason: “You, a mere man, claim to be God” (John
10:33). The Jews understood exactly what Jesus was claiming—
deity. When Jesus declared, “I and the Father are one,” He was saying
that He and the Father are of one nature and essence. John 8:58 is
another example. Jesus declared, “I tell you the truth … before
Abraham was born, I am!” Jews who heard this statement
responded by taking up stones to kill Him for blasphemy, as the
Mosaic Law commanded (Leviticus 24:16). John reiterates the concept
of Jesus’ deity: “The Word [Jesus] was God” and “the Word became
flesh” (John 1:1, 14). These verses clearly indicate that Jesus is God in
the flesh. Acts 20:28 tells us, “Be shepherds of the church of God,
which he bought with his own blood.” Who bought the church with
His own blood? Jesus Christ. And this same verse declares that God
purchased His church with His own blood. Therefore, Jesus is God!
Thomas the disciple declared concerning Jesus, “My Lord and my
God” (John 20:28). Jesus does not correct him. Titus 2:13 encourages
us to wait for the coming of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ (see
also 2 Peter 1:1). In Hebrews 1:8, the Father declares of Jesus, “But
about the Son he says, ‘Your throne, O God, will last forever and
ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.’” The
Father refers to Jesus as “O God,” indicating that Jesus is indeed God.
In Revelation, an angel instructed the apostle John to only worship
God (Revelation 19:10). Several times in Scripture Jesus receives
worship (Matthew 2:11; 14:33; 28:9, 17; Luke 24:52; John 9:38). He
never rebukes people for worshiping Him. If Jesus were not
God, He would have told people to not worship Him, just as the angel
in Revelation did. There are many other passages of Scripture that
argue for Jesus’ deity. The most important reason that Jesus has to
be God is that, if He is not God, His death would not have been
sufficient to pay the penalty for the sins of the world (1 John 2:2). A
created being, which Jesus would be if He were not God, could not
pay the infinite penalty required for sin against an infinite God. Only
God could pay such an infinite penalty. Only God could take on the
sins of the world (2 Corinthians 5:21), die, and be resurrected,
proving His victory over sin and death.

CHRIST IS THE SABBATH
Sometimes I see "spritualists" fighting over Sabbath and it makes me think whether they are lost or being ignorant. With some old wives facts, It makes me think they're stupid. Concerning Sabbath, do not be ignorant, "Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy ".... Keeping yourself holy is not just one day, whether Saturday or Sunday, u get it. So you keep Saturday holy and the rest of the days you play buffoonery right? Or you say the Sabbath day is Sunday, but you want to pray to God on Tuesday for Him to listen? Let's digest something.
Ezekiel 20:20
And hallow (keep holy ) my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God.
Between God and man is what, The Sabbath!!! And if the Sabbath is a literal day, then having a communion with God won't be all time affair but only one particular day. But No, absolutely No because God shows us something here.
1 Timothy 2:5
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus!!!
Between God and man is who, Jesus. Between God and man is what, Sabbaths. Jesus is the Sabbaths, Jesus Christ is the Sabbath day. Yashua Mashiac is the Sabbath day. Yesu Christo is the Sabbath day, and not Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday,or any day.
Now, Sabbath is not only one, there are many other Sabbaths instituted by God. " Sabbath "day" " is different from "Sabbath", just like Ezekiel 20:20 said, " Hallow (keep holy) my Sabbaths(not one)..."
The Sabbath day is that which all these Sabbaths are kept and the Sabbath day literary is Jesus Christ and Colossians 2:9 confirmed that
Colossians 2:9
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
In Christ dwells all these sabbaths, not one, not some, but all the Sabbaths, these institutions, these stamps, these seals. In Christ, we have access to The Father, always, not one particular day, but always, anytime, every time, anywhere. Do you really get it? I am really cut sore to the heart, very grieved. God us there for us all, just with a humble heart, tell Him to teach you and He will. Do not limit yourself with some kind of dogmas. God bless us all, but I am really grieved.
