Bible Question (short): In the Name of the Lord (Authority) |
Question (full): Quoted from Azure: I agree that Christians do not observe the Sabbath as the Isrealite did in the OT. However, since Jesus Christ came, the Sabbath has been viewed anew. I realize that there's been a group of people observing the Sabbath but under what authority? Why do they NOT continue the whole Law of Moses including animal sacrifices and all the other 600 plus laws of the OT? Like Paul says, you cannot just simply choose to observe only a part of it and hope to please God. One should always be anxious to please God by worshiping Him with His blessing as mentioned in Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. and 1 Corinthians 1:10 Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. |
