1 | Why do we not keep the 7th day Sabbath | Col 2:16 | Schoolman | 126891 | ||
AFter the crucifiction of Jesus the apostles began to meet on the first dya the week behind closed doors for fear of persecution by the Romans. Also the First day of the week is the day that Jesus rose from the dead. So in this sense the first day of the week has become a day of remeberance. Also when Jesus was crucified the temple was destroyed and the curtain torn; because he had fulfilled God's law which gave man direct access to God. There is no longer a requirement to maintain all of the old laws, because Jesus fulfilled them. Also Jesus said He was the Sabbath, so by believing and worshipping Him we are keeping the Sabbath holly. And finaly if you are going to argue that we must still observe the Sabbath according to Old Testament law then you naturally must observe all the Old Testament laws. You can not just pick and choose which laws you wish to observe and which you don't. Therefore, you must continue to follow all of the laws: burnt offerings, clean and unclean foods, rituals for cleansing an unclean body, and so on. Even the Jewish, who claim the Savior has not come, do not follow ALL of the Old Testament laws, they too pick and choose which they will follow. Jesus has lived the perfect life for us, because we were incappable of it ourselves. We are, by nature, sinfull and unable to meet all the demands of God on our own. Since Jesus has fulfilled God's law for us we are now saved by grace through faith alone. |

2 | Why do we not keep the 7th day Sabbath | Col 2:16 | DocTrinsograce | 126933 | ||
Well, said, Schoolman! Some will disagree, and I may be wrong, but I see Hebrews 4 seems to indicate the Sunday Sabath. God finished His work of creation and rested on the seventh day of the week. Christ finished His work of atonement and rested on the first day of the week. Like I say, I'm not dogmatic about this, but it seems to fit the passage, although this is only incidental to what the passage is saying. | ||||||
