Subject: romans chapter 14 verse 5 |
Bible Note: Hi Emmaus: How does this answer Rom. 14:5 regarding keeping a day or not. I believe Monica is refering to the discussion of the Sabbath. The Sabbath is clearly Saturday so the point of most discussions is if the NT provides evidence of a change. Certainly there is no evidence of Gof the Father or Jesus making any change. Unless you can provide proof. Rom. 14:5 is discussing the holy days that the Jewish Christians thought the Gentiles should be keeping. These feasts days or "sabbaths" (Lev. 23) are separate from the 7th day Sabbath. The Sabbath was created before sin even entered the world. The Sabbath is apart of the 10 Comm. - the feast days, new moons and "sabbaths" are apart of the Mosaic Law or ceremonial law which pointed to Christ and was done away with at the cross. But since the Jews had a problem with circumcision - they also had a problem giving up these "special days" But God nowhere did away with the 7th day Sabbath. Look forward to discussing !!! Merv PS -- Many people hold that there was no law prior to Sinai !! Do you agree ?? Remember even though Adam and Eve were perfect and sinless they still were asked by God to be obedient by a law "do not eat from the tree" ???? |
