Bible Question (short): Sabbath, not for who but why? |
Question (full): thank you for taking time to try and help me understand more on the Sabbath. You were right, I read quite a bit of information here before I joined. Enough on this subject to learn there is no biblical transferal of the Sabbath to Sunday. Sunday has been kept as a day of "commemoration of the resurrection" not ment or made to be a sabbath by God. But this is a digresion of the question I am dealing with. I understand God made the Sabbath for man(Mark 2:2) This does not truely ansewer the question. We now know who God made the Sabbath for,man. Maybe since God made the Sabbath for man the question should have been stated "Why did God make the Sabbath for man?" Thank you to directing me to when God made the Sabbath. As I read Genesis 2:1-3 it would apear God made the Sabbath because he had to "rest". Is this the reason God made the Sabbath? |
