Situational Training Exercise (Click to advise!)

Newly enlisted Private Barb Dwyer was out shopping on a Friday afternoon and got a phone call from an old friend, Helen Back. Miss Back asked Private Dwyer if she would meet her for supper to discuss their up coming class reunion activities and catch a movie afterwards. She told her she couldn't do the movie, simply because it would be the Sabbath by then. Then the gloves came off, because Helen Back was not going to be rejected. She pulled the trigger and replied, "I go to church and read the Bible, and Jesus broke the Sabbath by healing on the sabbath!" Caught by surprise and not sure how to respond, Private Dwyer told her she would call her back.


Objective: Inform Private Barb Dwyer of a solid defense against the accusations of "Jesus" breaking the Sabbath and encourage her on the commitment to keeping the Sabbath!

  1. Yeshua did not break the shabbat because what he did was not really forbidden cause they were hungry and shabbat is not a day of fasting. Although Yeshua instructed us to pray the the great flight will neither be in winter nor in SHABBAT. That tells us that the shabbat is indead important. The almighty also called the shabbat in his torah an eternal commandment and in Mattisyahu 7,15 Yeshua informed us that before the torah would be abolished heaven and earth would have to vanish

  2. She should read the rest of the verse " Then Yeshua said to them, “I ask you, is it right to do good on Shabbat, or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?” I don't believe the Torah says anything about not doing good on Shabbat if it does someone please correct me. Furthermore it is IMPOSSIBLE for Yeshua to break the Torah because he is the LIVING TORAH. "And the Word/Torah became flesh and pitched His sukkot among us, and we saw His esteem, the esteem as of the only brought-forth of the father, complete in favor and truth. In exodus it says "Remember Shabbat to keep it Kadosh/that word can also mean keeping it clean or not defiled" "but the seventh day is a Shabbat of יהוה your Elohim. You do not do any work – you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. So my question how is healing/helping someone expecially if someone can get hurt (which if someone get's hurt can make more work) breaking Shabbat. I'll use myself as an example "about 2 weeks ago on a Shabbat my grandpa had a huge tree limb fell on his house we helped him get it off now we could have left it up there but if we did it could have fallen off and hurt someone (making more work). But all the verse is saying you shouldn't do any ordinary work like going to watch a movie at the theaters because you are purchasing on shabbat which means the employees have to work (creating more work).
