Subject: When did the day of worship change? |
Bible Note: Let me clear up two points I feel there is a mis-udnerstanding on: 1.) I never said that the New Covenant abolished the Law. There are some within Christendom that believe the Law was abolished I do not. The real issue is what part(s) of the law are applicable to the believer today? Are women suppose to leave their house during their menstrul cycle? If I get into a fight with another man and his wife pulls on my testicals am I alloed to cut off her hand? Do we still observe the various feasts recorded in the O.T.? When was the last time you sacrificed a dove or gave a grain offering? Certainly you can see that some things changed from the time of Moses and the coming of Christ. The real question is, Just how much change occured? Another way to ask the same question is how much of the Law is applicable to the believer today? You tell me I am sinning because I do not hold the Sabbath as binding to the believer. You still never answered the 2 scripture passages I gave you before that I feel gives me liberty to choose that one day a week that I want to honor God and what festivals I am able to participate in. 2.) No one who has studied this issue feels that Sunday replaced the Sabbath. "If you think so, go and tell lies and kill people or even better: dishonour your parents. Or perhaps it gives you freedom to steal?...But remember Rom 3:31 and Matt 5:17 " Of course I feel I cannot do any of the above list of sins and still be a Christian in good standing with God. (I am glad you are qouting N.T. passages so now I do not have to look them up.) The N.T offers plenty of verses that instruct me how to live a holy life before God. But notice that nowhere in the N.T. is Sabbath Worship enforced...Just like there is nowhere in the N.T. that instructs me to continue partcipating in the Levitcal sacrifices. |
