the SABBATH was MADE for mankind"
Acts 18:4 "
every Sabbath" both Jews and gentiles met in the synagogues for Gospel preaching. And it is not a "mystery" as to how they were keeping the Sabbath "every Sabbath".
Question for you JLB - how many times is the term "Sabbath" used in the NT to refer to the Bible Sabbath of Exodus 20 -- but observed on a different day?
Answer: zero.
1. Many folks complain about the "mere quote" of the text as we see in your post.
2. The text is "irrefutable"
3. The text is very "old"
I agree and teach the Ten Commandments are eternal and the Church Is to keep them.
And so also do the many pro-Sunday groups in my signature line. You take a position that is very popular among Bible scholars.
I affirm you for doing so.
But as you may notice - the 99.9% postings here by those who oppose the Bible Sabbath is almost always against "the TEN" or any statement affirming "the TEN".
My question to you is where are the scriptures in the New Testament that instruct us how to observe the Sabbath under the New Covenant.
My question for you is where is the NT text saying that the scriptures telling us HOW to keep the Bible Sabbath have been deleted??.
Where does the NT say that the Sabbath remains as long as we do not keep it "HOW" God said it is to kept in the actual Sabbath Commandment
-on the seventh day "The
SEVENTH day is the Sabbath of the LORD (YHWH)" Ex 20:10
- a day of rest Ex 20:8-10
- a day of holy convocation Lev 23:3
Where is it that the NT says "ok all ten remain as long as you don't keep Sabbath the way God said to keep it in the actual commandment"???
In your case you insist that it goes right down to the very wording of the Commandment that has been "invisibly changed".
Changed from "
the SEVENTH day is the Sabbath of the LORD (YHWH)" into "any day you wish is THE Sabbath of the LORD" or "any way you wish is how to keep that 7th day Sabbath holy".
The burden of proof is on those who make such extreme assumptions.
You assume the salient point in your argument when you go to "Assume it is changed or details deleted and start over when reading the Jewish authors of the NT writing about God's Sabbath. So then if they still 'mean it' they must 'repeat it' ".
It would be like saying "find '
do not take God's name in vain' in the book of Titus and if you don't find it then it is up for changes" -- how in the world would inserts of that form be "merely assumed to be true"??.
Question for you: How many times is the term "Sabbath" used in the NT to refer to some day of the week that is NOT the 7th day??
Answer: zero.
The OT specification for observance of the Bible Sabbath spoken by God -
1. The SEVENTH day is the Sabbath of the LORD (YHWH) Ex 20:10
2. A day of rest - Exodus 20:8-11 - no secular activity Isaiah 8:13
3. A day of "holy convocation" Lev 23:3
Question for you: What NT text says Sabbath commandment must not be kept with the specifications directed by God in scripture? ( i.e. in the OT)
Answer: there is not one such text.
Bob, do you go to a synagogue to reason with unsaved Jews on the Sabbath?
JLB
Doing so is not against my religion.
