Everything the Bible says about the Sabbath it says to the Israelites.
Were you a slave in Egypt?
Why do you suppose the Apostles didn't understand that concept?
Galatians 5:1
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
Acts 15:10
Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of Gentiles a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors have been able to bear?
Nope, I don't forget.
Genesis says the day was set aside, yet no human observed the Sabbath until Ex.16.
The statement was poetic, not informational. Contrasting ideas.
The Sabbath was created for man, not man for the Sabbath.
The point is that man is more important than the Sabbath.
Not that the Sabbath was created for EVERY human.
What does that say about me?
There is no way to get around the divisiveness of this issue.
Don't you have a reason that doesn't condemn everyone else?
Nope, I don't forget.
Genesis says the day was set aside, yet no human observed the Sabbath until Ex.16.
Then you quote Jesus saying the "Sabbath was created for man...", while ignoring his actual point. Man is more important than the Sabbath. (speaking to Jews)
Then you sidestep Deut.5:15 which tells us who the Sabbath is for.
(the Israelites, who were slaves in Egypt)
The scriptures that tells us that the Sabbath was a sign between God and Israel is ignored.
The scripture that tells us the law is obsolete is ignored.
The scripture that tells us the law was our jailer until Christ came is ignored.
Shall I continue?
I'm glad you agree.Was His statement on divorce also "poetic"??
Really?I am not condemning anyone...
"...again"? -- I have NEVER said "until Sinai".See again you can't say "until Sinai" because it is clear it was PRIOR to Sinai...The Sabbath IS a sign between The Almighty and Israel. But again, that does not mean that Yeshua meant MANKIND. We are both just circling the same points.
I'm glad you agree.
Quote the passage in question. Let's compare. Thanks.
"...again"? -- I have NEVER said "until Sinai".
The Sabbath was introduced to the Israelites alone in Ex.16 as part of the manna collecting week. When the Ten Commandments were given, they were still collecting manna, and still collecting twice the amount on the sixth day, and still eating it and staying home on the seventh day.
Really?
Why do you keep the Sabbath?
Huh? In the beginning of what?I don'tthat was my point. He says that there was no divorce in the beginning. So if marriage began then, Shabbat did too...
What does that prove other than a four chapter head start?Shabbat was in effect BEFORE Sinai and the 10...that was my point...the manna was before the 10.
My conscience does not condemn me.I already told you. If your conscience condemns you, well...
I am already getting excited because Shabbat is tonight! You should try it!
Shalom!
Huh? In the beginning of what?
You seem to be misappropriating all sorts of things to make your point.
If Moses created the divorce certificate, then it didn't happen before that.
How does that put the Sabbath in Genesis?
My conscience does not condemn me.
But if you claim that the seventh day is God's Holy Day, what does that say about all other days? (condemns them)
Don't get too excited. You'll be under self-imposed house arrest for 24 hours.
Tomorrow you'll be eating today's food. Cold. Can't light a fire or turn on a light.
Can't write a letter, or turn on the TV, or computer. Sounds like fun. (not)
What does that prove other than a four chapter head start?
Not sure why you are trying to connect divorce/marriage and the Sabbath.He said about divorce..."it was not so in the beginning"...so that was BEFORE Moses. The beginning...when do you think that was?
