Let Us Reason Together On The Sabbath

2 Timothy 3:16 and 17 (AMP)
16 Every Scripture is God~breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God’s will in thought, purpose, and action), 17 So that the man of God may be complete and proficient, well fitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Hebrews 4:9 (AMP)
9 So then, there is still awaiting a full and complete Sabbath~rest reserved for the [true] people of God;
(This is prophecy.)

2 Peter 1:20 (NKJV)
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation,

Isaiah 58:13 and 14 (AMP)
13 If you turn away your foot from [traveling unduly on] the Sabbath, from doing your own pleasure on My holy day, and call the Sabbath a [spiritual] delight, the holy day of the Lord honorable, and honor Him and it, not going your own way or seeking or finding your own pleasure or speaking with your own [idle] words, 14 Then will you delight yourself in the Lord, and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth, and I will feed you with the heritage [promised for you] of Jacob your father; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it. [Gen. 27:28, 29; 28:13 to 15.]

Exodus 16:26 (NKJV)
26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will be none.
(This is the first use of the word Sabbath in the Bible where it is clearly defined.)

Matthew 15:9 (AMP)
9 Uselessly do they worship Me, for they teach as doctrines the commands of men. [Isa. 29:13.]

Isaiah 1:16 to 20 (AMP)
16 Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes! Cease to do evil,
17 Learn to do right! Seek justice, relieve the oppressed, and correct the oppressor. Defend the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool.
19 If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;
20 But if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.
