1 | Lord of the Sabbath is he not | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 42930 | ||
But not as a command to us. Jesus came to fulfil ALL the the Law and keeping the Sabbath was the Law. However, He broke tradition by allowing His hungry disciples to eat on the Sabbath (as did David), and also by healing and teaching. We are told, in the new testament to observe the other commandments (reference made directly to each) except for the one referring to the Sabbath (on a particular day) but only not to neglect meeting with other believers. | ||||||
2 | Lord of the Sabbath is he not | Bible general Archive 1 | Reformer Joe | 42968 | ||
As you say, Jesus broke TRADITION, but did he break the LAW of God by what he did on the Sabbath? There is a difference, in that tradition may or may not be consistent with the law of God. The biggest problem I have with "abolishing the Sabbath" mentality is that we are then saying that the Sabbath was not part of the changeless moral law of God. If the Ten Commandments are a summary of the moral will of God, why would he change his mind about one of them (and only one, for that matter)? Here are a few well-articulated, yet opposing views on the Fourth Commandment and the Christian: http://capo.org/sermons/Luke4.html http://web2.airmail.net/billtod/ch10.txt http://www.gty.org/Curiosity_Shop/sabbath.htm --Joe! |

joe- Something mulling in my mind....Could it be that the first two commandments deal with our relationship with the Lord and the last 7 deal with relationship with others. But the one about the Sabbath was made for us - pre-Christ when sacrifices had to be made regularly? The ultimate sacrifice was made when Christ died, therefore, a specific day is not needed anymore. Only a time to meet regularly for mutual edification in the Lord. Paul says we are not to be observers of days and festivals. I think this is the only time a commandment was contradicted. Debbie |
