Bible Question:
Dear Rayteck, Is there a particular reason that you focus on the '7th Day Sabbath?' "For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath." Matthew 12:8 NASB. Jesus spoke clearly of the hypocrisy of the supposed 'Sabbath-keepers' on many occasions. He spoke of common sense and holy attitude, both of which the 'leaders of the Jews' lacked. Jesus rose on the first day of the week, and we celebrate that and honor it in our hearts, not in a 'legal' manner. Sister TerryM said it best, "The Bible says give of the first fruits of your labor." This is an attitude of honor and worship, supeceding the letter of the Law, which has been clearly abolished. I, personally, consider Saturday to be a day of thanksgiving and preparation, but Sunday is His day, and I offer that day as a sacrifice of my heart, and worship and praise Him, Lord and Savior. Friend, your insistence on Saturday worship suggests a bent of religious legalism, rather that a humble conviction of truth. If this is, indeed, your Christian heart, and the 'traditions of man' play no part in your thinking, then God bless you in it. In Christ Jesus, charis |
Bible Answer: Jesus kept every detail of the law including the sabbath. He rebuked the hypocrisy of "Oral law "not the "written law". Look up the hebrew word for law in your strongs (torah-Gods instructions) We as beleivers are not lawless people. Jesus is the living Word of God John 1. and He said if we love Him we will obey Him John 14: 15,23,24. Obey what? His Word. Gods Holy Torah (Law) is not abolished. Math 5:17. Sabbath is not a salvation issue. We are saved by grace. But we are to honor and respect Gods Holy Word. |
