I don't recall any "full circle" definitions in Strong's, which leads me to ask how you support this idea.

Ok here we go, one more time. If there are seven days in a week each week we go again, and again, and again, and as we journey through life we will continue to go each week until finally we arrive and come full circle in the seventh day which will be our seventh day in life when evening does not follow the day and darkness will be no more.

This day is Sunday the seventh day of the week because that was the day in Gen. on which evening did not follow the day.[qoute]<strong>

Full circle is when we arrive at the place we first started and now know it as if for the first time. Since Jews still await the Messiah their sabbath must be on saterday.

I understand what you're saying in the first sentence, but don't see how you got from there to the second.[/quote]</strong>

Good. For the Jews the day of sabbath is a day of obligation on which they await deliverance from the dying of each day. The day of deliverance is Sunday as the seventh day on which evening does not mean the dying of each day simply because the perpetual light of Christ (Lord God) will be the luminous of that glorious day (Rev.22:5).

Maybe it helps to point out that the Jews await the 1st coming of Christ and when this happens they will find rest on the seventh day.

We await the second coming of Christ and therefore already have Sunday as the seventh day but is a day of obligation only until we are illuminated by the seventh day and therefore linger in the light that illuminates the seventh day.

The first and second coming of Christ will be a personal event for both the Jews and Catholics.

Unlike Jews, we, as children of the light, can linger in the everlasting sabbath and enjoy the fruits of our labors in the full radiance of the seventh day.

Are you sure you didn't mean to say "sabbath"?

I did say sabbath for Jews and seventh day for Catholics. Are you sure you are not pulling my leg?

Ah, but that is another question. If Christ not be risen in our life we will not know about the seventh day and the teaching must be a day of obligation untill such time as we do come full circle on the seventh day.

If that is the case we must sing another song but are not free to sing our song. Yes, I think that sums it up real well.
