Bible Question:
No ... I do not keep all of the cerimonial law of Moses. Theer is also the issue of being circumsized, et. all. However, my original question was - do you keep the fourth commandment or not? That question has been avoided by all. What about the other nine - do you keep those? If you do not the fourth or any of the ten - by what Scripture do you not keep them. |
Bible Answer: From the Westminster Confession of Faith (verses given are those referenced in the Confession): Chapter 21, paragraph 7: "As it is the law of nature, that, in general, a due proportion of time be set apart for the worship of God; so, in His Word, by a positive, moral, and perpetual commandment binding all men in all ages, He hath particularly appointed one day in seven, for a Sabbath to be kept holy unto him: (Ex. 20:8,10,11; Isa 56:2,4,6,7) which from the beginning of the world to the resurrection of Christ, was the last day of the week; and, from the resurrection of Christ, was changed into the first day of the week, (Gen 2:2,3; 1 Cor. 16:1,2; Acts 20:7) which, in Scripture, is called the Lord's day, (Rev. 1:10) and is to be continured to the end of the world, as the Christian Sabbath." (Ex. 20:8; Matt. 5 :17,18) The framers of the Confession believed the Scriptures taught that the fourth Commandment was not ceremonial and temporary, but moral and binding on all men in all ages. The last day Sabbath was based on God's great work of Creation; and the first day Sabbath was based on God's great work of Redemption. |
