Hiya again Brad, Why would he? The Gentile believers were meeting with the Jewish believers at that time and being taught by the Jewish teachers at the local synagogues. There was no need for him to talk about what was already being taken for granted. They were meeting on Shabbat. He was writing letters to local churches about immediate concerns. As to your question about the sacrifices - They were performing sacrifices at that time - Paul completed a vow of his own as well as paying for the 4 men to complete their vows. But I think the Temple was destroyed for that purpose, to put an end to that part, for now anyway (there's still Ezek 38 to the end of the book to deal with :-) ). Let me just finish by saying that personally I have never been so blessed before I started observing the Sabbath. God accepts and honors worship anytime it's offered. The Bible says the Sabbath is holy and that's all I'm saying - that the Bible says it, and I don't know of anywhere where it un-says it :-) Cheri |

Dear Cheri, You wrote, "I don't know of anywhere where it un-says it." The question is whether the observation of the Sabbath is binding on believers, as Judaizers claim. The verses indicating that it is not binding are as follows: Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 16:2; Colossians 2:16-17; Revelation 1:10. Barnabas (one of the apostles mentioned in Acts 14:14) wrote -- in keeping with the teachings of Paul already cited today (post #203440) -- "[The Lord] says to them, 'Your new moons and your Sabbath I cannot endure.' [Isaiah 1:13; cf Lamentations 2:6] Ye perceive how He speaks: Your present Sabbaths are not acceptable to Me, but [rather] that which I have made, [namely this,] when, giving rest to all things, I shall make a beginning of the eighth day, that is, a beginning of another world. Wherefore, also, we keep the eighth day [Sunday] with joyfulness, the day also on which Jesus rose again from the dead. And when He had manifested Himself, He ascended into the heavens." (cf Hebrews 4:7-10) In Him, Doc |

Doc ALL I did was give original questioner a bible verse. I did not say it was wrong to worship on Sun or on mon or tues or thurs or weds or fri or sat I said the bible says sabbath is set aside and holy. that there is a blessing associated with observing sabbath given in isa 58:13-14 maybe it's not a blessing and it's all in my head but i will continue to observe sabbath because that's no more wrong than gathering on sun tell me where i gave the impression that only shabbat observance is right i NEVER said anything like that at all but everyone's jumping all over it like i did. The bible says that God said the Sabbath is set aside, holy. There is no where that it says any differently I won't be answering any more - arguing is not what I had in mind here. |

Dear Cheri, In answer: posts 202150, 203420, and 203428. Contending for the truth is not "arguing" (Jude 3). The Scripture is about truth (John 17:17). We are to be good stewards of that truth (Matthew 13:51-52), especially when we are speaking publicly (Matthew 12:36; James 3:1; Titus 1:13-15). God forbid that we lead anyone astray by a casual approach to our choice of words (Luke 17:1-2; 1 Corinthians 8:11-12). Our love is demonstrated by holding one another accountable to the truth (1 Corinthians 13:6; 2 Timothy 4:2), for that it is not only commanded, but it is also modeled by our Lord (Revelation 3:19). Now, please read posts 182013 and 203448 closely. You have brethren who are earnestly seeking to honor the Lord in keeping of the Christian Sabbath. They have a great deal of Scripture, tradition, and scholarship behind their efforts. In Him, Doc |
