1 | 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 The intent of the Ten Commandments is intact, but the religious observance of any 'special day' has has been superceded by the fact that every day is special in Christ Jesus.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 |

2 | 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. | ||||||
3 | 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. |

4 | Sabbath because it is a rule? | Col 2:16 | SSprln | 2615 | ||
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. | ||||||
