Bible Note: Hello elder... Here's my prayerful response to your original question. In your profile you admit to keeping the Sabbath, so I would assume it's a very important part of your relationship to Christ. I won't argue that. On the other hand, I do not hold that distinction. I'm complete in Christ and being He is preeminent, I don't view the Sabbath as necessary. I believe Paul provides us the ultimate ansewer in Rom. 14:5-10 Rom 14:5 "One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind. Rom 14:6 "He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and he who eats, does so for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks to God. Rom 14:7 "For not one of us lives for himself, and not one dies for himself; Rom 14:8, "for if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore whether we live or die, we are the Lord's. Rom 14:9, "For to this end Christ died and lived again, that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living. Rom 14:10, "But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you regard your brother with contempt? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
