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: Q: "...by what Scripture do you not keep [the 4th commandment]?" A: The Scriptures are: Colossians 2:16-17 Exodus 31:16-17; Ezekiel 20:12; Nehemiah 9:14 Hebrews 8 Acts 20:7 Acts 15. When the Apostles met at the Jerusalem council (Acts 15), they did not impose Sabbath keeping on the Gentile believers. In *Galatians 4:10-11*, Paul rebukes the Galatians for thinking God expected them to observe special days (including the Sabbath). In *Romans 14:5*, Paul forbids those who observe the Sabbath (these were no doubt Jewish believers) to condemn those who do not (Gentile believers). Heb 4:9-11. Every day to the believer is one of Sabbath rest, since we have ceased from our spiritual labor and are resting in the salvation of the Lord (Hebrews 4:9-11). |
