[QUOTE="Yitzchak, post: 987725, member: 8411"] This is a tough question that I will need to think about. I have heard many testimonies from people who were specially blessed by God for keeping the Sabbath and even some for keeping Sunday sacred as the Lord's Day. I have personally found a blessing in keeping it but am not sure that it is required for the christian in the sense of a command. My answer at this point will have to be I am not sure. I have wondered the same question at times and even asked my pastor. But his answer, while held to as truth for many evangelicals, did not satisfy me personally. He said that we have entered our sabbath rest as christians in Christ. So that the sabbath was a shadow or type and no longer has any significance. I cannot answer him theologically but as I said personally I have received blessing from keeping the Sabbath. Of course from a jewish perspective, Shabbos is eternal and it is even taught that on Shabbos (The Sabbath) the wicked in Gehinnom (hell) receive a partial respite from their punishment on that day. So that even the wicked will learn to respect Shabbos in eternity. Jewish tradition says that Psalms 92:1 was composed by Adam as a response To recognizing the sanctity of Shabbos. Adam was spared from immeadiate punishment following his sin in Eden since that sin occured on Erev Shabbos(the evening before sabbath) and punishment had to wait until Shabbos was complete to be implemented. This saved Adam from a worse judgment. From a christian perspective, it is a little more fuzzy. The Lord's Day (sunday) has been followed by many throughout church history but few follow the Jewish Sabbath. Anyway, I apologize for this tangent from this thread. perhaps a seperate thread to discuss the Sabbath would be in order?? [/QUOTE]
