1 | Sabbath laws....do? or don't? | Col 2:16 | SLSaltsman | 1945 | ||
Very well done! One might note that God did rest on the seventh day. This is a powerful example for practical living. It was made to be Law for Israel's personal and national life. It is not, as you so clearly state, a part of the new covenant in Christ. Is it a good idea? It has been since the beginning. Thank you for your clarity and gentleness. God bless you. SLSaltsman |

2 | Sabbath laws....do? or don't? | Col 2:16 | kalos | 1950 | ||
I did not mean to mislead anyone. I am sorry for the fact that I inadvertently failed to say that my answer, to which you refer, was not authored by me, but is a quote written by John MacArthur, host of the Grace To You radio broadcast. . . . Another excellent quote on the subject comes from the note at Matt 12:1 in the New Scofield Reference Bible, Oxford, 1967, part of which I present here. (The entire summary footnote on the subject of the Sabbath is well worth reading.) I quote: . . . The Sabbath "was observed by complete rest (Ex 35:2-3)...Apart from maintaining the continued burnt offering and its connection with the annual feasts, the seventh-day Sabbath was never made a day of sacrifice, worship, or any manner of religious service. It was simply and only a day of complete rest for man and beast, a humane provision for man's needs." Bear in mind, Scofied is not referring to any tradition of man, but only to what the Bible actually SAYS about God's institution of the seventh-day Sabbath in the Mosaic Law. |
