The church today says that the Sabbath was cancelled. As proof they tell of Mary’s discovery of the risen Christ on Sunday. It doesn’t make sense that the time of a discovery should change what God tells us He created on the seventh day, or that a time of discovering something establishes when it happened, but that is the way they think.
The Lord gave us a new covenant, one we are told makes the old covenant obsolete. The church tells us that God knew he make a mistake so he cancelled the old covenant. I guess they think that God is like them and they know they make mistakes so they say so does the Lord. As if the Lord was just another human.
The church goes on and on about the mistakes the Lord has made. They say the sacrificial system didn’t work at all for atonement of sin even though scripture tells us it did. When the blood of cattle was used to feed the Lord, like pagans fed idols and not as a symbol of Christ, God hated it so the church tells us it was a mistake of the Lord to establish it.
The church tells us OT scripture can be in error. OT scripture tells us that God guides us to praise and celebrate His plan of salvation for us with feasts for all generations. The church tells us that is an error, that the feasts are to be treated the same way cutting the foreskin is treated.
Scripture tells us to celebrate Christ with Passover, the church says God cancelled that. They made up a new way to do it and named it using pagan gods to inspire them to make up a name for this replacement.
Demons are attracted to the church, undermining it is undermining the Lord. They have done a mighty work, they will still fail in the end.
“And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness,
they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day. And they that found him gathering sticks
brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
And the Lord said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp. And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the Lord commanded Moses.”
Numbers 15:32-33, 35-36
is this abolished ? Or is it Christian doctrine ?
And is this what the law teaches ?
“And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and
his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.
And the
Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
And he said unto them,
The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.”
Mark 2:23-24, 27-28
gathering food was work forbidden. In the law such as when the manna came they were two gather two portions on the sixth day and none on the sabbath .
yet Jesus disciples are harvesting food on the sabbath the Pharisees recognized this from the law and began accusing as thier intent always was to accuse Jesus and his disciples according to
Moses law.
I think of people compared what Jesus taught and what Moses taught there’s no
Mistaking the fact that the covenants are separate and contrary. For different purposes all together.
the law blinds us to the gospel because we see the law first and can’t see the end of it that it was always going to be abolished when Christ died and rose up .
should people work everyday ? No the sabbath is for our benefit for rest , is God going to condemn anyone for which day they think the sabbath is ? Or what day they attend church ? Is he going to exclude them from salvation because they don’t consider one day more holy than another ?
In Christ it matters what the individual believes
“Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it.
He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and
he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live,
we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
For
to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for
we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.”
Romans 14:4-10
if I’m convinced the sabbath is very important and must be honored then I must honor the sabbath because my faith says it . If I don’t believe that and consider every day the same then that’s my faith and what I must walk in.
there are some who combine the two covenants but they are separate they have different mediators , different words , different blood of atonement , different priests and peoples . One can hold us guilty to all Our sins and one can forgive us our sins and teach us the ways of God in truth.
everyday is a sabbath in Christ spiritually the rest for the soul he gives to those weary and burdened who come to him in faith .
we argue about a lot of details but God is looking at our hearts thoughts and intents and our actions in this world toward other people. If someone were to have a job working every sabbath day but they walked in the light of Christ in brotherly love believing the gospel it’s the latter that matters in Christ
