Subject: When did the day of worship change? |
Bible Note: Your're right. My last post was taken from a site that I discover recently. By digging a little bit more deeper, I've found some "gymnastic" doctrinal phrases too. So, I think some aspects are valid, some not. But if you don't mind I recomed you a favorite site: http://www.sdanet.org/atissue/sabbath/bacchiocchi-2.htm. This article is from Samuele Bacchiocchi. He's a very respected biblical scholar. Sorry brother, I've lost the sequence...What passage of Colossians do your refer? I do agree. The Law must be seen as a whole. And indeed it is moral basically. My point -perhaps I wasn't clear- is that the 10 Comm have a differente treatment by God that the other rest of the Law. The most valid argument to sustain my point is the Bible itself. The Holy ghost, through Paul, stablishes the 10 Comm as the basis to determine what is sin (Rom 3:20). You can say that ANY rebellion against the will of God is sin. And it is (remember Adam). But I would like you to tell me ¿why does the Holy Spirit inspires Paul to use the "Not covet" commandment and not a ceremonial rite? "Being a revelation of God's will for mankind, the law reveals the nature of sin as disobedience to God. Paul explains that "through the Law comes the knowledge of sin" (Rom 3:20) because the Law causes people to recognize their sins and themselves as sinners. It is evident that this important function of the Law could not have been terminated by Christ, since the need to acknowledge sin in one's life is as fundamental to the life of Christians today as it was for the Israelites of old."
