Steve: Funny that Jesus said "Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath" - I guess that Jesus who was Perfect made a mistake and should have used "Jew" or "People of Israel". He clealy used MAN because it has been and will be for ALL mankind. I think your arguement that although the Sabbath was created in to beginning "prior to sin" and "God blessed and santified it" (Gen:2:3) - Yes it makes plenty of sense to assume that for 2000 years it was sanctified by God but no one kept the day as God intended to be a blessed rest for his created man. Makes also great senses that God/Jesus whom rested on the Sabbath after He created it in Genesis, but when Jesus walked the world 4000 years later and kept the Sabbath "as His custom was" is somehow not showing a consistent God in who we believe. Can you explain - why God would require Moses to test the people of His law of the Sabbath after coming out of Egypt. Quick note: His law was not written until Sinai ???? Just like Gen:26:5 I guess the use of the different words like commandments, statues, and laws all do not refer to anything else but God telling Abraham to do something - like the things you stated. But wait It says in vs. 5 Abraham obeyed "My voice" and kept My charge, My statues, My commandments, and My laws. Remember sin is clealy defined as "transgression of the law". Cain (Gen. 4:6) - "sin lies at the door" --- Humm could it be possible Cain was thinking to kill His brother - which he did in vs.8. But Rom. 3:20 - says "for by the law is the knowledge of sin" ---- Cain knew about killing because it was a "law" -- The same laws God revealed to man prior to Sinai but the 10 comm. given at Sinai were to an entire nation not individuals prior to that. You have not explained why God was angry for them eating swine's flesh but now He is not !! Please repeat it !!! God did not cleanse unclean meat in the NT. Sorry not there. Maybe check the OT. Sorry, but we must have some humor !!!! You said "a law mandatory for Jews only" Well if we look specifically at the Sabbath - you statement is absolutely wrong according to Is. 56:4-5. Unfortunately, many "gentiles" were allowed to keep the Sabbath and recieve all the blessing that came with it. Unfortunately, most non-Jews had no belief in God and God made it plain a clear fo the Jews to keep away from unGodly people. Just like the principle of "leaven" --- a small potion of sin will corupt the whole amount of bread. But if the Non-Jews did recognize God and believe then they were required to show obedience just like the Jew. Explain - how laws only for Jews again ??? In love and respect, Merv |

Hello Merv, I do not have a problem saying that men rested on the sabbath day. My problem is that no law was given to keep the sabbath until the Mosaic Law. You must look at the commandments of the Lord in respect to when they were given. Steve |

Steve: Problem again is the Sabbath was used as a test to the people prior to it being "given" at Sinai. The reason is that these 10 Comm. laws were in existence with original man - probably even Adam and Eve. But because fell away from God and his law we have the flood and Sodom. But since Abraham showed faith then God put in place a plan to make covenant with an entire nation which he saved from bondage. As "part" of that covenant agreement was the law of God "10 Comm. and the laws governing sacrifices". Called God's moral law and ceremonial law. But these 10 Comm. laws were not "new" but instead they had fallen away from these laws. That is why God - right away - decided to test the people to see if they would again keep the Sabbath. Seems clear to me !!! Ps. 40:7,8 Ps.19:7, Is. 42:21, Ps. 111:7-8 are pretty clear that God's LAW is Perfect, Unchanging, Eternal, and Hounorable. James 2:12 - The law of liberty. Glad to talk, Merv |

Hello Merv, "Problem again is the Sabbath was used as a test to the people prior to it being 'given' at Sinai." Once again a statement without scriptural support. Your stubborn refusal to listen to sound doctrine (or give it) forces me to end this. Steve |
