Is not honoring the sabbath a sin?

[TheCatholic]

I know, I know don't confuse you with any facts.

Is that your way of trying to say that you believe in a litteral 6-Day creation?

Not to speak for ThomasDa but I would happen to say yes; that is his way of saying he believes in a literal six-day creation - mine too!

The issue is keeping the sabbath day holy.

And to answer the question, yes it is a sin. Just as much as breaking any of the other nine is a sin.


Edit: In an attempt to be clearer: Legalism when it comes to the sabbath involves making the sabbath a burden. One is not being legalistic if they inform someone that we have to keep the sabbath. They become legalistic when they make keeping the sabbath a burden.

Say for instance that I told you it was a sin to tie your shoe on the sabbath. Now say Jesus comes along says "You know your shoes untied right?" Your response. "Yes Lord." He then tells you "Tie your shoe, it's ok." Has He just broken the sabbath or has He simply freed you from a burden that wasn't suppose to be there in the first place? Keep that example in mind when you think about the Pharisees and how Jesus dealt with them. It may help.

Stop asking man, and go to Jesus/Holy Spirit for your answers. That is the only way to come to the truth.

No. Actually I did not address that subject.
If I had I would have said that.

From what I can see you don't say much of anything aside from the occasional disjointed one-liner

Weren't the Pharisees admonished for this type of legalism?

Luke 13:14-16 NASB
​

But the synagogue official, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, began saying to the crowd in response, "There are six days in which work should be done; so come during them and get healed, and not on the Sabbath day."

But the Lord answered him and said, "You hypocrites, does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the stall and lead him away to water him?

"And this woman, a daughter of Abraham as she is, whom Satan has bound for eighteen long years, should she not have been released from this bond on the Sabbath day?"
​

Mark 2:27
Then he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 28So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.

Praise be to the Lord of Sabbath Jesus Christ.
Love and worship Him, all legalities and laws will be taken care of automatically. Hallelujah.

Nope it is not a sin.

When did it stop being a sin, and according to who? How can something that was a sin no longer be a sin?

Some of you should really take a look at this thread: http://www.christianforums.com/t7404584/

When Jesus was crucified and ressurected.

When Jesus was crucified and ressurected.

How? You don't find it interesting that Jesus died from a method of torture that was meant to last for days, right before the sabbath, rested in the grave during the sabbath, and then rose early sunday morning?

When did the disciples learn that it was ok to break the sabbath?

I actually never thought about why he died before the sabbath- for some reason I just thought he simply died on the cross. it just never occurred to me.

Oh stop it! I don't buy it! As much knowledge I have seen you share here on these forums in such a short time you never once considered the fact Jesus died on a Friday and rested in the tomb on the sabbath day? C'mon, CR stop pulling our legs!

Lev 25:4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
He sowed no seed that day, nor was the vineyard pruned. The LORD rested on His day.

my mind gets selective, I periodically go back to verses and see a new dimension; it really never came to my mind that He observed the sabbath in death.

Amazing concept isn't it! Christ showed so much respect for His own law that He gave us a final example how eternal it is by resting on the sabbath in death.

I mean if you think about it, He didn't need to rise on Sunday. Once He died the price had been paid and He very well could have risen the same day.

 

[CalmRon]

its always a rush to learn something new isn't it?

It is. It's like this time I was waiting for the bus and the Spirit impressed my heart to consider the Israelites and how they, while "being under the law" still had to have had grace imparted to them in some fashion since salvation is not of works but is the gift of God.

I got super excited and called my wife to tell her.

That's shocking! Isn't it cool though? Jesus even rested on the sabbath day in death! Every sabbath day should remind us of His awesome sacrifice for mankind.

But the prophecies had to be fulfilled

Luke 11:29 Of the yet throngs being convened, He begins to be saying "the generation/genea <1074> this, wicked is a Sign seeking, and a Sign not shall be being given to it except the Sign of Jonah the Prophet.
30 For according as became Jonah a Sign to the Ninevites, thus shall also the Son of the Man to the generation this.

 

[CalmRon]

I agree, and am working on finding a nice adventist church so I can worship properly on the sabbath instead of as I have of lately wallowing in my own laziness.

Yes the prophecies did have to be fulfilled, but don't you think that Christ had considered that before He said He would be dead and raised in three days?
