Sorry dear friend but I do not have a doctrine. I simply share God's Word. These are God's Words not my words. I do not refer to the laws of Moses. I have only shared Gods' Word and Gods' Laws with you through his Word. They are God's Word not my words. What is it that you do not believe?
The new testament does not delete the old testament scriptures. In the days of JESUS and the Apostles their bible was the old testament scriptures. Together both the old testament and the new testament scriptures make up the Word of God and today we are to live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God *MATTHEW 4:4 because all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness *2 TIMOTHY 3:16. Do you not believe these scriptures dear friend and their application to the old testament scriptures? To me all scripture means all scripture. Do you believe these scriptures and if you do why do you have problems when old testament and new testament scriptures are shared with you?
Here how about we share both the new testament scriptures and the old tesament scriptures to which they came from in relation to God's LAW in the new testament? Now these are Gods' Word not mine. Will you believe them if I share them with you? If you say yes I will post these scriptures for you in the next post if you ignore my post or say no I will not bother to share these scriptures with you because even if I do you will not believe them. That sounds like a fair deal right?
Why do you think JESUS or the Apostles taught anyone anywhere in the new Testament that they must assemble to worship God only on the Sabbath and never worship God any other day of the week? Who has ever claimed such thing? No one I know. What has this got to do with keeping God's 4th commandment Sabbath as a Holy day of rest? Nope nothing.
According to the scriptures the Apostles and disciples of JESUS gathered daily to break bread and share God's Word....
ACTS 2:46-47 [46], And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, [47], Praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
This is never the problem as posted earlier sin is the problem. Sin is defined in God's Word as not believeing and following God's Word and breaking anyone of God's 10 commandments.
ROMANS 14:23 .... WHATSOEVER IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN
JAMES 2:10-12 [10], For WHOEVER SHALL KEEP THE WHOLE LAW, AND YET OFFEND IN ONE POINT, HE IS GUILTY OF ALL. [11], For he that said, DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, SAID ALSO, DO NOT KILL. NOW IF YOU COMMIT NO ADULTERY, YET IF YOU KILL, YOU ARE BECOME A TRANSGRESSOR OF THE LAW.
1 JOHN 3:4 [4], WHOEVER COMMITS SIN TRANSGRESSES ALSO THE LAW: FOR SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW.
God's 4th Commandment *
EXODUS 20:8-11 is one of God's 10 commandments that give us the knowledge of what sin is when broken. If we knowingly break it by working on the Sabbath and not keeping the say as a holy day of rest, just like any other one of God's 10 commandments if we break any one of them, we stand guilty before God of sin. The seventh day Sabbath is a day that God has blessed and set apart as a Holy day of rest where no work is to be done.
Perhaps you need to re-read what God's 4th commandment says...
EXODUS 20:8-11 [8], Remember the SABBATH DAY, to KEEP IT HOLY. <Why?> Because God made it Holy for mankind and commands us to keep it as a Holy day) [9], Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: [10], But the SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: <WHY>[11], For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the SEVENTH DAY: wherefore the LORD BLESSED THE SABBATH, and HALLOWED IT.
Yep nothing to do with going to worshipping God on Sunday or not forbidding to worship God everyday of the week. God's 4th commandment of the 10 commandments that gives us a knowledge of what sin is when broken is about keeping the seventh day Sabbath as a Holy day of rest where no work is to be done.
There you go again dear friend thinking that the new testament scriptures deletes the old. If you believed all the scriptures you would not ask such questions. Do you not what that "
PREPARATION DAY" before the Sabbath is? Perhaps you can google it.
MARK 15:42 And now when the even was come, because IT WAS THE
PREPARATION, THAT IS
THE DAY BEFORE THE SABBATH.
LUKE 23:54 And THAT DAY WAS THE
PREPARATION AND THE
SABBATH DREW ON.
JOHN 19:31 The Jews therefore, BECAUSE IT WAS THE
PREPARATION, THAT THE BODIES SHOULD NOT REMAIN ON THE CROSS
ON THE SABBATH DAY, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) sought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
JOHN 19:42 There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews'
PREPARATION DAY; for the sepulcher was near at hand.
Where do you think the "
PREPARATION DAY IS" and where does it come from and how does it relate to cooking and domestic work that can be done on any other day of the week and the SABBATH commandment?
The origin of the "PREPARATION DAY" in the written word of God comes from EXODUS 16.
EXODUS 16:22-23 [22], And it came to pass, that ON THE
SIXTH DAY THEY GATHERED TWICE AS MUCH BREAD (
preparation day = 6th day)
, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses. [23], And he said to them, This is that which the LORD has said, TOMORROW IS THE REST OF THE HOLY SABBATH TO THE LORD
: BAKE THAT WHICH YOU WILL BAKE TODAY (
preparation day = 6th day), and seethe that you will seethe; and that which remains over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
MARK 15:42, And now when the even was come, becaus
e IT WAS THE PREPARATION (sixth day), THAT IS THE DAY BEFORE THE SABBATH
The
PREPARATION DAY IS THE SIXTH DAY OF THE WEEK AND THE DAY OR PREPARATION BEFORE THE SABBATH. This includes preparing to stop all business and secular work as well as any domestic work; cooking, cleaning; shopping, buying and selling that can be done on any other day of the week.
So my dear friend if you do not delete the old testament scriptures how can you understand the new testament scriptures that the old testament points to?
Sorry dear friend your just repeating yourself again Colossians 2 is not talking about the 10 commandments or God's 4th commandment it is talking about the annual ceremonial sabbaths that are connected to the annual feast days that can fall on any day of the week that are not God's 4th commandment.
If you disagree perhaps you would like to prove that COLOSSIANS 2:14-17 is talking about God's 4th commandment? For example there are many different types of sabbaths mentioned in the old testament scriptures.
Which sabbath is COLOSSIANS 2:16 talking about? Is COLOSSIANS 2:16 talking about....
1. The Sabbaths of the Feast of unleavened bread (first and last day) that can fall on any day of the week *
LEVITICUS 23:6-8
2. The Sabbath on the annual day of Atonement that can fall on any day of the week *
LEVITICUS 23:27-32
3. The Sabbath on the annual Feast of Trumpets that can fall on any day of the week *
LEVITICUS 23:24-25?
4. The Sabbath on the Feast of Booths that can fall on any day of the week *
LEVITICUS 23:34-36
5. Feast of first fruits (first and last day) that can fall on any day of the week *
LEVITICUS 23:39
6. The sabbaths (sabbaton plural) of holy convocations from the annual feast days *
LEVITICUS 23:7-8; 21;24; 27; 35-36 that can fall on any days of the week
7. The Sabbath of the land (7 year single cycle) *
LEVITICUS 25:2
8. The Sabbath of Jubilee - culminating of the 7x7 yearly cycles sabbaths *
LEVITICUS 25:9-54
9. Or God's 4th commandment seventh day weekly Sabbath which is one of the 10 commandments that define sin when broken? *
EXODUS 20:8-11 from
GENESIS 2:1-3
If you knew the old testament scriptures dear friend you would know what Paul is referring to in COLOSSIANS 2:16 and it is
not God's 4th commandment. Your mixing up the "SHADOW laws" from the MOSAIC book of the old covenant *EXODUS 24;7; HEBREWS 10:1-12 with God's "ETERNAL LAW" (10 commandments) that give us the knowledge of what sin is when broken *ROMANS 3:20; ROMANS 7:7; 1 JOHN 3:4; JAMES 2:10-11.
Soooo??? Where is the Sabbath spoken about in ROMANS 14? This was already addressed with a detail review of ROMANS 14 which you simply ignored in
post # 67 linked that shows your trying to read the Sabbath into the scriptures when ROMANS 14 is not talking about the Sabbath. Just repeating yourself does not make God's Word disappear. If you disagree please prove from the scriptures that ROMANS 14 is talking about God's 4th commandment? As shown through the scriptures already provided (
post # 67 linked) ROMANS 14 is talking about days that men esteem over other days in relation to eating and not eating (fasting) and judging others in this regard. There is no mention of Gods' 4th commandment or any other of the 10 commandments.
Looks like you have a bit of catching up to do dear friend. If you disagree with anything shared with you and the scriptures provided please show why?
Hope this helps
