Subject: Does it Really matter? |
Bible Note: Hiya again Brad, Why would he? The Gentile believers were meeting with the Jewish believers at that time and being taught by the Jewish teachers at the local synagogues. There was no need for him to talk about what was already being taken for granted. They were meeting on Shabbat. He was writing letters to local churches about immediate concerns. As to your question about the sacrifices - They were performing sacrifices at that time - Paul completed a vow of his own as well as paying for the 4 men to complete their vows. But I think the Temple was destroyed for that purpose, to put an end to that part, for now anyway (there's still Ezek 38 to the end of the book to deal with :-) ). Let me just finish by saying that personally I have never been so blessed before I started observing the Sabbath. God accepts and honors worship anytime it's offered. The Bible says the Sabbath is holy and that's all I'm saying - that the Bible says it, and I don't know of anywhere where it un-says it :-) Cheri |
