Bible Question:
The Bible specifically says on the seventh day. The nation Israel always kept the sabbath on Saturday. There was never any confusion over which day was meant. Who changed the Sabbath from Sat. to Sun.? No one changed it. Christians are not keeping the sabbath (meant to be a day of complete rest for man and beast). Rather we celebrate Sunday as the Lord's Day. It has nothing whatever to do with the Sabbath. I thought I covered all this in my previous answer, "Are the Sabbath laws binding on Christians," JVH0212, 03-27-2001. . . . I wrote in part: . . . "The New Testament never commands Christians to observe the Sabbath." . . . The burden of proof to refute this lies with the reader. If the NT specifically commands Sabbath observance by Christians, then let someone come forth with a clear verse of Scripture. Show us the book, chapter and verse where Sabbath keeping by Christians is commanded in the NT. Remember most of the contents of the four gospels took place under the old system of the Mosaic law, before Christ died, was buried and resurrected and before the Church age, the age of Grace was ushered in. . . .

Bible Answer: How about the fact that Jesus came to "fulfil" the Law, not to "abolish" it (Matthew 5.17). That is all one needs to know to decide if mankind has made a mistake in switching from the true Sabbath to a man-made counterfeit. Should we not wonder who was leading that charge? Satan of course. The master of lies. So, YES, in the New Testament, Jesus fully supported the Ten Commandments because being part of the Trinity of God He helped make them in the first place. |
