1 | Why the 7th day bent? | Col 2:16 | charis | 2050 | ||
Dear Rayteck, Is there a particular reason that you focus on the '7th Day Sabbath?' "For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath." Matthew 12:8 NASB. Jesus spoke clearly of the hypocrisy of the supposed 'Sabbath-keepers' on many occasions. He spoke of common sense and holy attitude, both of which the 'leaders of the Jews' lacked. Jesus rose on the first day of the week, and we celebrate that and honor it in our hearts, not in a 'legal' manner. Sister TerryM said it best, "The Bible says give of the first fruits of your labor." This is an attitude of honor and worship, supeceding the letter of the Law, which has been clearly abolished. I, personally, consider Saturday to be a day of thanksgiving and preparation, but Sunday is His day, and I offer that day as a sacrifice of my heart, and worship and praise Him, Lord and Savior. Friend, your insistence on Saturday worship suggests a bent of religious legalism, rather that a humble conviction of truth. If this is, indeed, your Christian heart, and the 'traditions of man' play no part in your thinking, then God bless you in it. In Christ Jesus, charis |

2 | Why the 7th day bent? | Col 2:16 | Rayteck | 2076 | ||
In the beginning,God created heaven and the earth in 6 literal days, on the 7th day He rested, and made this day Holy. God new that man needed a day of rest (sabbath means rest) to renew,rest,worship and remember Him as God and creator. God reaffirmed this to Moses with the ten commanment law written with His own finger,engraved in stone.(the only scripture that was not given through men). What day is the Sabbath day? Saturday. Read the account of the crucifixion in the book of Luke. Christ was crucified on Friday( the preperation day),rested on the sabbath day in the tomb,(saturday),and arose on the first day of the week(sunday). Christ kept the sabbath,even in his death. The apostles kept the sabbath,even Paul. He taught the Jews and the Gentiles alike on the sabbath day. Sould we keep the Sabbath today? Yes! I challenge anyone to show me from scripture where God changed the day to sunday.(first day of the week) How did the change take place? Study chruch history. It happened during roman times when the church and government became one. During the reign of Constintine,(a pagan and nominal christian), who worshiped the sun.there festival day was sunday (the venerable day of the sun).In order to unite the empire,with the churches apostasy,to incorporate the pagans into the chruch (along with many of there practices and idol worship),the day was slowly changed to sunday. Will we keep the Sabbath in the future? Read the book of Isa.66th chapter.verses22-23. Yes we will. Gods ten commandment laws have not changed nor will they change. Was this part of the law given by inspiration through Moses? No. the mosaic law and ordinances were nailed to the cross with Christ. He was the fulfilment of these. The Sabbath is Gods seal ( as mentioned many times in scripture) His rightful claim as God and creator. How can someone justify pulling the 4th commandment out of the ten commandments and and deceide not to keep that one command. Would it be ok to not keep "thou shalt not Murder",or say "thou shalt no commit adultery" its that one ok not to keep. You can try and explain it away anyway you like. The facts are as they stand.Sunday keeping is a product of man,not Gods plan for us. |

3 | Sabbath because it is a rule? | Col 2:16 | charis | 2089 | ||
Dear Rayteck, Do you keep the Sabbath because it is a rule? Are the Ten Commandments observed only because God commanded them? All of the Ten should be kept because of their intent, and because we want to please our Lord and Savior. Indeed, your argument is well presented. But Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath. The intent of the Ten Commandments is intact, but the religious observance of any 'special day' has has been superceded by the fact that every day is special in Christ Jesus. This cannot be said of the Sabbath. We gather on Sunday because the early Christians from the beginning (Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 16:2) found a new beginning in Jesus. This was continued, as confirmed by Ignatius (circa 110AD). It was made an 'institution' in the 4th century, but, had been practiced from the time that the Lord revealed to Paul and others the salvation of the Gentiles. Yes, Paul went to the synagogues on Saturday, where else would he find the Jews? But he taught Christ on the first day of the week. (I have studied church history a bit :-) By the way, you said that Jesus 'rested in the tomb' on Saturday. I don't think so... He was breaking the Sabbath by working, a holy work that gave you and I freedom from death and Satan. How you get 'observe the Sabbath' from Isaiah 66 is beyond me. It says clearly that we will worship Him daily, that new moons and sabbath are inconsequential. Friend, every day is the Lord's day. Church history shows that the early Christians gathered on the 'first day' to celebrate a risen Savior, even the Jewish Christians did so after the destruction of the Temple. If you choose to worship on Saturday, this is allowed. I pray that you gather because it is the Lord's day to you, not because it is 'Commandment Number 4.' Blessings and love in Jesus' name, charis |

4 | Sabbath because it is a rule? | Col 2:16 | SSprln | 2182 | ||
I didn't even read your whole note/question/reply/whatever it is, but I don't think we have to honor the ten commandments any more. I don't know the verse, but it says that we should esteem every day the same, and that we should live for the Lord every day. The Bible says that the letter (law/10 commandments) killeth. We are in the new covenant so we should be living according to the new testament. Hope I helped. | ||||||
5 | Sabbath because it is a rule? | Col 2:16 | KBurgee | 2601 | ||
Que? (That means 'what' in Spanish, I think) Where does it say we don't still have to keep the 10 Commandments? From what I've seen, yes, Christ's death and resurrection allowed us to do things differently than in the past, but Jesus himself stated that you should follow the commandments(Mark 10:19, Luke 18:20, and it's stated in dozens of other places in the NT). To not follow these commandments will make you least important in the kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 5:19). Living through Christ, the 10 Commandments will be obeyed. |

Gosh...I did not *mean* that the 10 commandments should not be obeyed. I simply stated, to the dismay of *some people* :(, that under the new covenant we should obey what the NT says, *if*, and *only if*, it contrasts to what is stated in the OT. | ||||||
