One needs to be careful when ascribing the commandments to others since the Ten Commandments is only part of the law as it were. http://www.versebyverse.org/doctrine/mosaiclaw. The Mosaic Law is divided into three parts. Codex I - the moral code: the decalogue or ten commandments. The Mosaic Law is divided into three parts. Codex I - the moral code: the decalogue or ten commandments.

Seeing the context of Deu.5 is the 10 commandments, it should be pretty simple for people to understand what the narrow path is. YHWH Bless |

You are NOT justified by keeping the law. It is by Grace you have been called to repentence. And if we love him , we should keep his commandments, walk the narrow path he has ask us to. Lev 24:22 Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the LORD your God. Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. 1Jn 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. 1Jn 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 1Jn 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. YHWH Bless |

It is not hard to find the commandments still being observed in the NT. (Act 17:29) Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. (Jas 2:7) Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? Rom 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, (Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. comes from Lev.) (Act 13:42) And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. (Act 13:44) And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God. (Act 16:13) And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither. (Act 18:4) And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. |

Dear rakpak, The Sabbath was a command given specifically to Israel. There is no biblical record whatsoever of anybody keeping the Sabbath prior to Exodus 16 (Neh. 9:13-14). Even after they received the full-blown Sabbath command (Ex. 20:8-11), Israel who often condemned the sins of her pagan neighbors, never criticized their violation of the Sabbath. The Sabbath was part of God’s ceremonial law and not grounded in His unchanging character. The Sabbath was a ceremonial law given specifically to Israel, not grounded in God’s unchanging nature. Similar to the entire old covenant, it has been fulfilled and brought to completion in Christ (Mt. 5:17). If David had a right to make an exception in the ceremonial law, Jesus had more (Mt. 12:1-8; c.f 5:21-48). Even Jesus said," The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath" (Mk. 2:27). Moreover, He called Himself the "Lord of the Sabbath" (Lk. 6:5). The Sabbath was the sign of the Old Covenant (Ex. 31:16-17; Neh. 9:14; Eze. 20:12). Because we are now under the New Covenant we are no longer under obligation to keep the Old Covenant, particularly the sign of the Old Covenant. The writer to the Hebrews remarked, "When He said, ‘A new covenant,’ He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear" (Heb. 8:13). The New Testament nowhere commands Christians to observe the Sabbath. The church is warned of many sins in the New Testament, but breaking (or observing) the Sabbath is never mentioned. The book of Acts mentions the Sabbath nine times, never once as a day of worship for Christians. If anything, the Apostle Paul rebuked the Galatians for attempting to add the observance of days to the sufficiency of Christ’s work for salvation (Gal. 4:9-11). The church even changed their day of worship from Saturday (the Jewish Sabbath) to Sunday (the Lord’s Day) (Ac. 20:7; 1 Cor. 16:2) to show that a new order had been erected with the resurrection of Christ (Jn. 20:1, 19). Jesus Christ through His redemptive work regained the Sabbath that Adam lost. Jesus Christ came to complete a redemptive work (Jn. 4:34; 5:36) by restoring the rest that was forfeited in the Garden. In following the same pattern for the first creation, Jesus Christ began the work spoken of in Genesis 3:15 (c.f. Gen. 1:3). He completed the work on the cross (Jn. 17:4; 19:30; c.f. Gen. 1:5). The work was met with God’s satisfaction by the resurrection and ascension of Christ (Rom. 1:3-4; Gen. 1:4) leading again to divine rest (Heb. 10:11-12; c.f. Gen. 2:1-3). The Sabbath was a sign that pointed to something greater. Like much of the Old Testament, the Sabbath pointed to Jesus Christ. The Old Testament Sabbath preached the gospel when it called for faith and a cessation of work (Rom. 4:4-5). We dishonor our Savior when the signs still receive the preeminence that He alone deserves. Now that Jesus is here, the signs have become obsolete (Heb. 8:13). The Apostle Paul said, "Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day--things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ" (Col. 2:16-17). Jesus is the new Joshua that leads God’s children to a greater Promised Land of rest (Mt. 1:21). Jesus is the new Sabbatical Jubilee (Lev. 25:8-10) that provides a greater cancellation of debts (Lk. 4:18-19). Jesus Christ has now become the Sabbath rest for Christians under the New Covenant. God has completed His work of the new creation. Christians are the first fruits of that creation (2 Cor.. 5:17; Gal. 6:15). Our rest, as it was enjoyed by Adam everyday, has again been restored. During this life we still deal with some remnants of the curse, but we recognize our rest in Christ (from meritorious works) through faith and daily worship (Col. 3:17). Due to His redemptive work, He has become our Sabbath rest. Jesus said, "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light" (Mt. 11:28-30; c.f. Heb. 4:1-11). The Christian’s ultimate Sabbath rest will be enjoyed in heaven (Rev. 14:13; c.f. 14:11). Though we currently rest in Jesus Christ under the New Covenant, our supreme Sabbatical rest will be realized in heaven where we will enjoy the ultimate rest in the culmination of God’s new creation (Rev. 21:4; 22:1-2) away from the curse in the direct presence of the Lamb (Rev. 22:3). also see: http://ldolphin.org/sabbathrest.html John |

No where does scripture say Jesus is the sabbath. He said he was lord of the Sabbath, and the sabbath was for man, he taught the correct way to keep it. Giving rest and the sabbth day is 2 different things. And we seen the apostles including Paul still observing the Sabbath along with the feast days. In the KJV marjin notes on Heb 4:9, you'll see "there remains a keeping of the sabbath", and the reason being, in that one verse, the greek word for rest is sabbatismos. The other verses in Heb. uses katapausis or katapauo for the word rest. |

Okay, what does it say in the Scriptures? Brothers and Sisters, be sure to point out to your brethren their sins when they do not observe the days and diet restrictions prescribed in the law so that you are to be their judge. Oh! NO! It doesn't say that at all, does it? What does it say then? "Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day--things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ" Col 2:16-17 Don't you realize that you are judging your brethren when you say it is a command for them to observe these things? Don't you realize you are being their judge because in affect you are saying they are sinning by not observing these things? In the "New" Covenant, the New Testament, we are commanded not to judge in regard to these things! Don't you realize that you, then, maybe are sinning? Lits read it again. "Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day--things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ" Col 2:16-17 John |

I am judging no one, I am only answering a question. I pointed that the 10 commandment were still being taught and oberved in the NT, along with the 7th day sabbath and the feast days were still being observed. So if that offends someone, I am sorry. |

10 | Who then is on this broad way? | Matt 7:13 | stjohn | 216999 | ||
Dear rakpak, If you say that the Sabbath and dietary restrictions are in affect and commanded for us to obey, then by implication and according to Col 2:16-17 you are indeed judging. And you sure aren't offending me my friend, but you are not showing respect for the Scriptures and what they actually teach. Just because some things are being 'observed' by some, does not mean we are commanded to observe them too. In the OT many had more then one wife, and were observing polygamy. Would you say because we see someone observing it in the scriptures or that some do that today, then would we say we should do that? There are many such examples of these kind of aberrant behaviors in the Scriptures, but that doesn't mean we are to follow them. If you would like to observe the Sabbath and dietary restrictions, there is nothing in the Scriptures that would prohibit you from doing that, so then, I would have nothing to say to you about it other then, God bless you. But if you tell me I'm not obeying the commandments of God by not doing it too, then by implication, and again according to Col 2:16-17 you are indeed judging me. So be careful that the Word itself doesn't judge you, my friend. John |

11 | Who then is on this broad way? | Matt 7:13 | rakpak | 217000 | ||
I do not recall telling you or anyone else they were not observing the commandments, as nobody has said one way or the other. Again I only gave scriptual support, from more than one source or one verse, what the Apostles continued to teach and observe in the NT. I still am amazed that you keep insisting I am judging you, by simply quoting scriptures. Do you, as a techer teacher, teach any of the commandments, like loving your neighbor, or not commiting adultery, or not to steal. Does that make a judge of people. No. So may you and I both grow in the Grace and knowledge of our Messiah, Yahoshua (Jesus) | ||||||

Rakpak, I know this is a bit off topic but curiousity has the better of me. There are a few on the forum that do this but your’s seems most recent, so I’ll ask, why do you refer to Jesus as Yahoshua? I’m assuming your native toungue is Engllish and you reference the KJV in your posts which is also English. Just curious as to why you don’t refer to Jesus as Jesus. Stand in His grace, WOS |

13 | Who then is on this broad way? | Matt 7:13 | rakpak | 217004 | ||
After much research, and you can look at the marjin notes in the KJV I think at Heb. 4:8, the KJV will say Jesus, but in the Marjin notes, it says, "that is Joshua". SO backtracking you find that Jesus and Joshua is spelled the same in Greek, checking the greek septuigent (however you spell it) as well, the name Joshua is the same as what the moderns bibles translates as Jesus. And if you look at the strong's concordance G2424, it says from Hebrew origin, Jehoshua. But they were no letter J at the time scripture was written. The term HalleluJah, is not found in bible. There is greek form in Rev. chapter 19, Alleluia. In Psalms 150, the term Praise ye the LORD, in Hebrew would be something like "Halal Yah". So, When you combine Yah or Yahweh with the Hebrew word for salvation, yeshua. Yahoshua is a combination of the two. This is just a brief summary, hope I didn't bore you to death. And some of the sacred namers will teach that Jesus is a form of Zeus, that is not true and stay away from those that teach that. |

Then why not just call him Jesus? I'm curious as to why some choose one name over the other. Stand in His grace, WOS |

My personal thought is, and this is just FOR ME. I don't think man has the right to change his name, so it is just my personal preference. And actually, everyone who says, Hallelujah, is using his Hebrew name also. But above all, lets all remember to call upon Him. |

16 | Who then is on this broad way? | Matt 7:13 | DocTrinsograce | 217010 | ||
Hi, RakPak... So, what you are saying, is that a man named Richard should insist on not being called Ricardo in Spain, Riccardo in Italy, Rijkert in Denmark, and Rikert in Germany? Furthermore, your premise would indicate that you disagree with James -- Christ's half-brother -- who called Him Iesous (Jesus); or how about his disciples who called Him by that name -- Matthew, John, Peter, etc; or how about Mark, Paul, and Luke who did the same; or how about the fact that Jesus called Himself Jesus on a number of occasions -- in His earthly ministry and after it -- when He called Himself by that name? I think we want to use the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in the cultural context in which we find ourselves. Consequently, since we are an English based forum -- not Hebrew -- why not communicate with one another in comprehensible language (1 Corinthians 14:8-11). In Him, Doc |
||||||
17 | Who then is on this broad way? | Matt 7:13 | rakpak | 217011 | ||
Again, all I did was answer a question, everyone has to do what they believe is right, and since he was Hebrew I prefer to use his Hebrew name. And James would be pronounced something like yah-ak-obe'. |
||||||
18 | Who then is on this broad way? | Matt 7:13 | DocTrinsograce | 217017 | ||
Hi, RakPak... I am Hebrew too. Do you think that you accrue some benefit with God to use Hebrew? The church used Greek -- as did James, by the way. Because they wanted to communicate to as many people as possible. Do you think they were compromising by using Iesous instead of Hebrew? We seek to do what is right, it is true. However, when we deviate from the orthodoxy of Christianity, we need better reasons than "I do what is right in my own eyes." All that aside... You are seeking to communicate with a set of Bible students. Wouldn't you want to use language that does not impede our study, but rather what most effectively communicates? In Him, Doc |

19 | Who then is on this broad way? | Matt 7:13 | rakpak | 217023 | ||
As I stated before, using his Hebrew names is my personal preference, I am not telling anyone they have to. I enjoy looking into the Hebrew names and their meanings. If you want to use Iesous or Iesou, because it is spelled thay way also in the greek text, by all means use it. I still use the name Jesus when talking to others that use the name Jesus. But teaching His Hebrew name is not that complicated, and you might be suprised at how many Bible students already know it. Pro 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? Then on the other hand, if you are witnessing to a Jewish person, they would understand the Hebrew name much easier, and its easier to point out in the OT. Every christian I know speaks at least to words in Hebrew. HalleluYah-Praise Yah |
