Hi Friend,
Stuart you do know you are just making an argument that defeats your own argument right? You say because the word "feast" is not used in Rom 14 therefore it cannot be referring to feast day. Now using your same logic I can say to you where does it say in Rom 14 that the day is referring to God's 7th Day Sabbath? There is no mention of it so you have defeated your own argument.
Now if you look at all the scripture in the Old and New Testament nearly every scripture that is referring to food, drink and holy days is in reference to Lev 23 which is talking about the annual Jewish festivals. If you read the OP in this thread you will learn something. I am only sharing nothing but scripture with you. You on the other hand only share your opinion. We must believe God's Word over the opinion of man (
Acts 5:29)
Stuart, did you know that all the New Testament come from the Old Testament? Now if the New Testament comes from the Old Testament then how can you say that the Old Testament does not apply to the New? You contradict the teachings of scripture. Man does not live by bread alone but by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God (
Matt 4:4) All scripture is given by inspiration of God is is profitable for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness (
2Ti 3:16. Why would God need to give His Law again in the New Testament when He already gave it in the Old.
Since you are restricting my answer to only the New Testament (which is not biblical as shown above, but I will indulge you) your question should rather be; What does the New Testament say about God's Law (10 commandments) and the 7th Day Sabbath? Is God's Law (10 commandments) spoken about in the New Testament? If it is then it includes the 7th Day Sabbath as this is one of the 10 commandments spoken by God himself as a memorial of creation (
Ex 20:8-11)
What does the New Testament say about God's Law (10 commandments)?
* God's commandments are Holy, Just and Good (
Rom 7:12)
* If we break one of God's 10 commandments we are guilty of sin (
James 2:8-12)
* God's 10 commandments give a knowledge of what sin is (
Rom 3:20)
* Sin is breaking any of God's 10 commandments (1 John 3:4)
* The penalty of known and willful sin is death (
Rom 6:23)
* Those that know God keep his commandments (
1 John 2:3)
* If you say you know God and do not keep His commandments you are a liar (
1 John 2:4)
* God's true followers keep them (
1 John 2:3-4; 1 John 5:2-3; Rev 14:12; Rev 22:14)
* If we love Jesus we will keep them
(John 14:15)
* If we keep them we will abide in God's Love (
John 15:10)
* We can break God's commandments by keeping man made traditions we are not following God (
Mark 7:3-13; Matt 15:3-9)
Jesus is our example (John 2:6; Matt 16:24; 1 Cor 11:1; Eph 5:1-21; Pet 2:20-22 )
Did Jesus and the Apostles keep the Sabbath?
(1
) Jesus taught us that the Sabbath was made for mankind (
Mark 2:27).
(2) Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath and that this is the Lord's Day (
Mark 2:28).
(3) Jesus taught us that it is ok to enjoy the Sabbath and to do good on the Sabbath
(Matt 12:1-8; 10-12; 24:20; Mark 3:1-5; Luke 6:1-10; 13:14-16; 14:1-5; John 7:22-23; 9:14; Mark 1:21; Mark 6:2; Luke 4:16; 31; Luke 14:1; 23:56).
(4) The apostles kept the 7th Day Sabbath (
Acts 13:14; 13:27; 13:44; 15:21; 16:13; 17:2; 18:4; Rev 1:10)
Sunday Worship is a teaching and tradition of man over the Word of God that has no basis in God's Word
If you knowingly and willfully break God's Law you commit sin because sin is the transgression of God's Law. If we break one commandment we stand before God as guilty of breaking all. If we do not seek God in repentance we are in danger of the Judgment (
Heb 10:26-27). Who do we believe and follow God or man? I love Jesus so I choose to follow God's Word. Do you love Jesus Stuart? One of the many questions I ask you that you never answer.
Ok Good night my time friend, If you want to chat further lets discuss the OP? So far you seem to be very side tracked with some agenda that I do not understand. What is clear to me however is that you do not know God's Word otherwise you would share it.
In Christ Always!
