1 | repost of circumcission and baptism? | Col 2:12 | sandrider | 57111 | ||
The seventh day, or Saturday, Sabbath was commanded in the Old Testament, there should be little controversy about that (Exodus 16:26, 20:8). It was a symbol of waiting for the Messiah, a spiritual rest. However, Jesus taught a new kind of Sabbath. He picked grain (Matthew 12:1) and taught that on the Sabbath one should, save sheep, a symbol of God's flock, from a well (Matthew 12:11). He did this despite the Old Testament law which said that a man is to be killed for violating the Sabbath (Numbers 15:32-6). Finally, Matthew 28:1 reads, "And on the eve of the sabbaths, at the dawn, toward the first of the sabbaths, came Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre..." (Young's Literal Translation, the KJV and its paraphrases misinterpreted the passage). This passage shows that there are two groups of Sabbaths, those including the Saturday after Jesus's death, and those including the following Sunday. A similar passage is Mark 16:9 (Be sure to use YLT). Hence, Colossians 2:16, "Let no one, then, judge you in eating or in drinking, or in respect of a feast, or of a new moon, or of sabbaths..." Sometimes the Bible doesn't spit things out plain and simple, you have to study it. |

You write: "Sometimes the Bible doesn't spit things out plain and simple, you have to study it." Or, in your case, you have to twist and misinterpret the Bible to fit your preconceived ideas. There is no such thing as "two groups of Sabbaths." There is no such thing as a Sunday sabbath. Your argument is too weak even to be considered. I suggest you take your own advice in regard to the Bible and "study it." |

I did not mean to support this subject, except as a possible answer. I was merely exploring it. Isn't that what this site is for? To help other study the Bible and not send them into a corner when an idea they want to explore is not true? In any case, you could not know if I had any preconeived notions about this. Also, if my argument were too weak to be considered, why respond to it? This isn't a place for show-downs. |

I agree, it seems if we don't agree with a few people on this forum there is a smart retorte. I will continue to study the bible, right or wrong about a subject at the time, and God by his holy spirit will continue to sort things out for me. | ||||||
