Does Christ repeat the Sabbath commandment?

[sparow]

Some claim that the Sabbath doesnt exist anymore because Christ didnt teach it or repeat it as part of the Commandments, so what did Jesus say?

I am not going to argue with the scriptures but as we see from the dispensationalist a different paradigm changes the meaning of every scripture. I am aware that I use a different paradigm to most. Your subject enables me to discuss my view of the Law.

In the OT it is prophesied that the Law (also called the covenant will go to the gentiles). From this and more I conclude that the covenant whether it is new or old, or delivered in a more perfect way, not one dit or dot is changed.

With this paradigm the New testament is the history of the covenant being renewed with the lost sheep of Israel over half the seventieth week and remember Jesus instructed the apostles not to go to the gentiles.

If this is true then the Law remains unchanged except for what the beast have done; abrogate the Law.
If it is wrong then another covenant must have been confirmed some where; some say Paul delivered the new covenant.

Unless the wording of the covenant is not changed there must be another covenant articulated somewhere and I have never seen it.

God is not the author of confusion, the covenant is clear and not subject to speculation.

Quote. Hebrews 8:10

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: unquote.

The writer of Hebrews seemed to believe that this feature of the covenant in forces then But I have never met anyone who keeps the Law let alone know it without being taught. I expect this happens at the time a person receives eternal life and made perfect.

Actually, the new Jerusalem comes down to earth after the 1000 years have expired and the unrighteous dead have been raised to meet their punishment.

Christ is coming for His Church, which indeed has Hebrews/Israelites in it but also every other tongue that has confessed the Lords name since Adam. God tried to flood the world with the example He gave in Israel but they, corporately as a nation, failed to accomplish it and two others were identified to carry it forward til He came. God is no respecter of person, ethnicity, race or religious creed... only those who come to Him in full surrender through Christ will be His Israel.

Excellent post..

The question is what happened to the law. If it has been written on our hearts does that give us license to break it? The only reason God wrote it was for a blessing to His people Israel who were stiff necked and stubborn beyond measure. Just because He wrote it on our hearts, that should cause us to be more strict in obedience to it instead of trying to find excuses not to obey.

Another question is can we be perfect and still sin? Using the biblical definition of sin found in 1John:3:4: "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law."

I wonder why the (edit- Reformers)never picked up on it, especially being shamed at the council of Trent? Rome rubbed it in their face that they pay homage to her by keeping Sunday. It was their only argument against sola scriptura.

According to the following verse I’d say that Christ had every intention that His Sabbath would still be observed after His death:

I don't know if it is written specifically, per se, and all that,
but
as far as I know Y'SHUA MESSIAH is still observing the seventh day sanctified by HIS FATHER , set apart by HIS FATHER,
and since I follow Y'SHUA MESSIAH I do too.

Just like if a mere general (compared to the Master Y'SHUA) over a military base
always 'signed out' of active maneuvers on sixth day before the sun set ,
and signed back in (whatever terms they use in peace time)
on seventh day after the sun set
and
likewise his military contingent was "at ease" during that same time , until the general returned at which time they would be active again.

i.e. his soldiers under him would do as he did, as last he ordered.

Funny you bring the military up Jeff, I'm sure you've heard of the new Desmond Doss movie out and the documentaries. One particular Sabbath, Desmond was the ONLY medic left to aid the guys. It was CRUCIAL that we attacked them early on but it came from the TOP that we WAIT until Doss does his praying and Bible study before we attack. That took some faith on the top Brass's part. This was from some of the same group that ridiculed him for being an objector. I guess even they saw God working through him considering he saved so many and would come out unscathed.

COOL! Yes ! Amein and HalleluYAH !

Just like at least one country, historically,
maybe several or many more (I haven't searched or heard, except for Israel)
had the most peace ever throughout their boarders and with other countries,
during the years that they (that one country) honored and kept YHWH'S SABBATH.
(I think it was Scotland)

There has been preserved every since apostolic times groups of Sabbath keepers, outside of Judaism. Scotland, Ireland, the exiles in the French and Italian Alps, the Oriental and Ethiopian churches etc.
