1 | Col. 2:16 and Sabbath Keeping | Acts | Reformer Joe | 19052 | ||
I understand the Dallas Theological Seminary view, as wrong as it is on this point. This quote doesn't seem to be in line with what you pasted earlier from Barnes. So, according to the DTS authors of the Bible Knowledge Commentary, we are down to 9 commandments, only those specifically re-stated in the New Testament (another proposition I disagree with, since Christ was a Sabbath advocate, although not in the legalistic sense that the Pharisees were). Why aren't these other nine part of the "shadow of things to come"? Why can I disregard a Sabbath rest, but not consider that pesky anti-murder law to be a thing of the past as well? After all, there is no distinction between ceremonial and moral law, is there? I know you are only quoting someone else here, Nolan, but I do agree with Barnes' view a lot more than those who insist that something must be repeated in Paul's epistles to carry any weight for the believer. After all, is ALL Scripture profitable or not (2 Timothy 3:16)? --Joe! |

Joe, "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;" (2 Tim. 3:16) You obviously need to go back and re-read what I have posted concerning Barnes' Notes on Col. 2:16. Did you REALLY read that Joe? Also, on which day do you go to church Joe? Do you worship on Saturday or Sunday? Here is MY evidence for Sunday being the correct day for us to assemble, according to church history. * * * (Repost) * * * We should worship on Sunday, the "Lord's day." Although the moral principles expressed in the Ten Commandments are reaffirmed in the NT, the command to set Saturday apart as a day of rest and worship is the only commandment not repeated. There are very good reasons for this. 1. New Testament believers are not under the Old Testament law (Romans 6:14; Galatians 3:24,25; Hebrews 7:12). 2. Jesus resurrected and appeared to some of His followers on the first day of the week (Sunday) (Matthew 28:1). 3. Jesus continued His appearances on succeeding Sundays (John 20:19,26). 4. The descent of the Holy Spirit took place on a Sunday (Acts 2:1). 5. The early church was thus given the pattern of Sunday worship, and this they continued to do regularly (Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 16:2). 6. Sunday worship was further hallowed by our Lord who appeared to John in that last great vision on "the Lord's Day" (Revelation 1:10). 7. Finally, in Colossians 2:16 we read, "Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day." (NIV) This verse indicates that the distinctive holy days of the Old Testament are no longer binding on New Testament believers. It is for reasons such as these that Christians worship on Sunday, rather than on the Jewish Sabbath. Your Brother in Christ, Nolan |
