Sabbath keeping

[JesusFollowerForever]

And that Sabbath rest from work for the people of God, from one new moon to the other, and one Sabbath to another, is the forecast of God's full-time Sabbath rest in Jesus Christ, where we rest full-time from our own work to save, and in his work which saves completely (Heb 4:8-10).

In the NT, we keep the Sabbath rest full-time.

You did not answer the question is Gods fourth commandment to be followed or not?

 

[EJ M]

Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy
Jesus came to save mankind for our sins and show us the only way to the Father.

Jesus teachings are the pillar and ground of truth. Not a single person will come to God except through Jesus. Jesus did not come to destroy the law and the prophets, but to fulfill.
He is the fulfillment of the Old Testament and raised the standard of obedience to make it an issue of the heart, not just the outward.
Adultery is raised to even looking and lusting, murder is raised to hatred in the heart.

In Hebrews 4, the Sabbath is raised to the very person of Christ, He is our rest every day, not just on Saturday.

Sadly, many Saturday Sabbath keepers will freely condemn those who worship on a Sunday while they don’t keep the Sabbath either as God outlined in the Old Testament, when He gave the Sabbath commandment in Numbers 15, there is a story of a man who gathered firewood on Saturday and kindled a fire. He was stoned for breaking the Sabbath commandment.
Saturday keepers kindle a fire routinely, it would be unpleasant indeed to live very far North of the 30th parallel and have no heat from Friday evening until Saturday evening, in fact, North of the arctic Circle it may not be possible to even survive.
And especially so in the winter when the sun sets on the Friday evening and does not come up for a month or more.

Many Saturday keepers enthusiastically condemn the Pope for claiming to have the authority to change the day of rest and worship from Saturday to Sunday.
While the Pope claims to have changed this day, there is evidence that this was the practice of the early church long before the Pope came to power.
Is the Pope to be believed about all his claims?
Why is this claim given more credibility than any of his other preposterous claims?

The Pope will be condemned for his godless claims and conduct, but If any condemns him and also changes God’s law, even a little, such as changing the time of the beginning and ending of the Sabbath above the arctic circle, or claiming fire is acceptable in the winter, or it is acceptable to kindle a fire in the engine of the car, or it is acceptable to turn on a light, thereby kindling a fire in the lightbulb, Jesus’ words in Mathew 7,1 will be applied to them,

Judge not that you be not judged, for with the judgement you judge, you shall be judged. So judging and condemning the Pope will bring judgement on all who judge thus, and yet do the same. (Roman’s 2:1-2)

Buying and selling is also forbidden in the Old Testament Sabbath so when rent or buy utilities or anything else is predicted on a thirty day month, buying and selling cannot be avoided unless one becomes a hermit and a recluse, without power and without heat and never traveling anywhere on Saturday, south of the thirtieth parallel.

This is not at all what Jesus came to do. We are to draw water with joy from the wells of salvation. It is not wrong to believe we need to keep Saturday, however it is very wrong to judge others for not keeping Saturday, especially if one does not keep it either as outlined above.

The story is told of two Jews who left Jerusalem and migrated to the opposite side of the globe and ended up in the same city. One claimed to be keeping the Sabbath on Saturday, the other claimed to be keeping the Sabbath on Sunday because of the international date line, both were right. God is not the author of confusion but of peace. Can we grasp the reality that as the church of Jesus Christ, our rest is in Him, not on a day of the week as outlined in Hebrews 4.

The outsized emphasis on the fourth commandment is often at the expense of the other nine, for example,
#7, Thou shalt not commit adultery
Jesus said if a man divorces his wife and marries another, he commits adultery.
Most Sabbath keeping churches disregard this, and the divorce and remarriage isn’t significantly different from the atheists, statistically.

And then the ridiculous doctrine that going to church on Sunday is the mark of the beast and all that go to church on Saturday have the seal of God as described in Revelation 13.
The possibility that increasingly godless secular governments will make laws to forbid buying and selling on Sunday is not reality and is pure delusion.
It will never happen. The godless Pope simply do not have the amount of influence to institute such a universal law.
However, as with most false prophecies, there is never a date or any other evidence given whereby it can be disproven. It is always in the future, 'someday' it will happen.

Another law Moses gave is in Deuteronomy 22:5, forbidding cross dressing which is an abomination to God. SDA women routinely dress in that which pertains to a man, (pants) just as atheist women do. A hundred years ago, all SDA women believed this and there was no cross dressing. Completely disregarding Jesus word, that He did not come to destroy the law and the prophets, He came to fulfill and not a single punctuation will fail, all will be fulfilled. Anyone who loves the truth must be concerned, because the SDA church is also participating in the falling away as described in II Thess 2.

And in James 2:10
The Holy Spirit inspired James to write,
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
He writes, ONE point, which includes buying and selling, kindling a fire and anything else forbidden in the Old Testament.
Our Lord Jesus is the fulfillment of the law, including the fulfillment of the fourth commandment. He is in fact our Sabbath rest.

Can you please show us the verse the author of Hebrews countermanded what God wrote and spoke on His Authority. For me I would want something just as clear as how God wrote it and something that says why the author of Hebrews can override the Authority of God

God's Authority- written by His own finger:

Exo 20:10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God.

I have studied Hebrews and there is no verse that says the Sabbath is now daily and we no longer need to keep God's commandment.

The apostles do not have the authority to countermand God, nor would they as they were servants of God and a servant is not greater than their master. John 13:16

God said:

Psa 89:34
My covenant I will not break,
Nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips.

Mat 5:18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.

Heaven and Earth are still here, so is God's eternal law. Mat 5:19

Truth in scripture:

Jesus is the Truth John 14:6
His Word is the Truth John 17:17
His commandments are Truth Psa 119:151

We need God's whole Truth.

 

[CoreyD]

It is unbelievably strange that most will say of the other commandments (of the 10) they they should be abided by ... excluding the 4th ... that is non sensical ... hypocritical.

I'm not aware of any person or group who says they should abide by all of the 10 commandments, but the 4th.
For the record, can you name one group or person who says this, please. Thanks.

I have heard most people both on these forums and off, quote the words of the scriptures, which in more than one place says, the entire law stands fulfilled in one saying... you must love your neighbor as your self. Love is the laws fulfillment. Galatians 5:14
Romans 13:8-10 says...
8 Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for the one who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the Law. 9 For this, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the Law.

Some also quote Galatians 6:2 regarding fulfilling the law of Christ.

My question to them is this .... Jesus kept the 7th day Sabbath ... if He had not ... would He have sinned?

As a Jew, Jesus kept the Law of Moses.
That is the reason why Jesus was circumcised on the eighth day, according to the law of Moses. Luke 1:59

Would Jesus and his parents have sinned if they did not abide by that law?
Since Jesus got circumcised according to the law, why, may I ask, don't you get circumcised?

 

[Freth]

Can you please show us the verse that the author of Hebrews countermanded what God wrote and spoke on His Authority. For me I would want something just as clear as what God wrote and spoke and something that says why they can override God.

Supporting text:

Colossians 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross.​

​

Hebrews 10:1-10 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.​

​

In the same chapter, Paul upholds the Ten.

Hebrews 10:26-29 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?​

​

What law was "against us"?

​

Deuteronomy 31:26 Take this book of the law, and put it in the side [beside] of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.​

​

By contrast, the Ten were put inside the ark.

Deuteronomy 10:2 And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in [inside] the ark.​

​

Psalms 119.

Psalms 119:113-120 I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God. Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually. Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies. My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.​

Claire, does this nullify the 4th Commandment from GOD, He that never changes and said the Commandments are eternal?

Isaiah 66:22-23 (KJV):​

22 "For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain."

23 "And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord."

Blessings Claire.

I just want to draw to the attention of those who mistakenly think that this verse says there will be new moon and Sabbath festivals in the new heavens and new earth, that this verse does not say that.
Isaiah draws on a comparison.
As the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me,,,
So shall your seed and your name remain. "And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord."

NASB
22 “For just as the new heavens and the new earth,
Which I make, will endure before Me,” declares the Lord,
“So will your descendants and your name endure.
23 And it shall be from new moon to new moon
And from Sabbath to Sabbath,
All mankind will come to bow down before Me,” says the Lord.

This is similar to the comparison drawn at Isaiah 55:10, 11
10 For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven,
And do not return there without watering the earth
And making it produce and sprout,
And providing seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
11 So will My word be which goes out of My mouth;
It will not return to Me empty,
Without accomplishing what I desire,
And without succeeding in the purpose for which I sent it.

God provides them with a guarantee that their descendants and name will endure, and from new moon to new moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all mankind will come to bow down before the Lord.
When? Zechariah 14:16; Isaiah 66:24
24 “Then they will go out and look At the corpses of the people Who have rebelled against Me.
For their worm will not die And their fire will not be extinguished; And they will be an abhorrence to all mankind.”

Peace

These scriptures clearly showing the Sabbath continues for eternity- in the New Heaven and New earth for all flesh (those saved).

Isa 66:23 And from one Sabbath to another,
All flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says the Lord.

God's will in heaven is the same will for us now- hence the 4th commandment- written and spoken on God's Authority which there is no greater Authority - at least for me.

24
When? Zechariah 14:16; Isaiah 66:24
“Then they will go out and look At the corpses of the people Who have rebelled against Me.
For their worm will not die And their fire will not be extinguished; And they will be an abhorrence to all mankind.”

Peace

Just as God promised, all sin and sinners will be destroyed and everything will be restored back to God's original plan, including the Sabbath Exo 20:11 Gen 2:1-3 without any contention as we do now against God's holy and blessed day.

Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy
Jesus came to save mankind for our sins and show us the only way to the Father.

Jesus teachings are the pillar and ground of truth. Not a single person will come to God except through Jesus. Jesus did not come to destroy the law and the prophets, but to fulfill.
He is the fulfillment of the Old Testament and raised the standard of obedience to make it an issue of the heart, not just the outward.
Adultery is raised to even looking and lusting, murder is raised to hatred in the heart.

In Hebrews 4, the Sabbath is raised to the very person of Christ, He is our rest every day, not just on Saturday.

Sadly, many Saturday Sabbath keepers will freely condemn those who worship on a Sunday while they don’t keep the Sabbath either as God outlined in the Old Testament, when He gave the Sabbath commandment in Numbers 15, there is a story of a man who gathered firewood on Saturday and kindled a fire. He was stoned for breaking the Sabbath commandment.
Saturday keepers kindle a fire routinely, it would be unpleasant indeed to live very far North of the 30th parallel and have no heat from Friday evening until Saturday evening, in fact, North of the arctic Circle it may not be possible to even survive.
And especially so in the winter when the sun sets on the Friday evening and does not come up for a month or more.

Many Saturday keepers enthusiastically condemn the Pope for claiming to have the authority to change the day of rest and worship from Saturday to Sunday.
While the Pope claims to have changed this day, there is evidence that this was the practice of the early church long before the Pope came to power.
Is the Pope to be believed about all his claims?
Why is this claim given more credibility than any of his other preposterous claims?

The Pope will be condemned for his godless claims and conduct, but If any condemns him and also changes God’s law, even a little, such as changing the time of the beginning and ending of the Sabbath above the arctic circle, or claiming fire is acceptable in the winter, or it is acceptable to kindle a fire in the engine of the car, or it is acceptable to turn on a light, thereby kindling a fire in the lightbulb, Jesus’ words in Mathew 7,1 will be applied to them,

Judge not that you be not judged, for with the judgement you judge, you shall be judged. So judging and condemning the Pope will bring judgement on all who judge thus, and yet do the same. (Roman’s 2:1-2)

Buying and selling is also forbidden in the Old Testament Sabbath so when rent or buy utilities or anything else is predicted on a thirty day month, buying and selling cannot be avoided unless one becomes a hermit and a recluse, without power and without heat and never traveling anywhere on Saturday, south of the thirtieth parallel.

This is not at all what Jesus came to do. We are to draw water with joy from the wells of salvation. It is not wrong to believe we need to keep Saturday, however it is very wrong to judge others for not keeping Saturday, especially if one does not keep it either as outlined above.

The story is told of two Jews who left Jerusalem and migrated to the opposite side of the globe and ended up in the same city. One claimed to be keeping the Sabbath on Saturday, the other claimed to be keeping the Sabbath on Sunday because of the international date line, both were right. God is not the author of confusion but of peace. Can we grasp the reality that as the church of Jesus Christ, our rest is in Him, not on a day of the week as outlined in Hebrews 4.

The outsized emphasis on the fourth commandment is often at the expense of the other nine, for example,
#7, Thou shalt not commit adultery
Jesus said if a man divorces his wife and marries another, he commits adultery.
Most Sabbath keeping churches disregard this, and the divorce and remarriage isn’t significantly different from the atheists, statistically.

And then the ridiculous doctrine that going to church on Sunday is the mark of the beast and all that go to church on Saturday have the seal of God as described in Revelation 13.
The possibility that increasingly godless secular governments will make laws to forbid buying and selling on Sunday is not reality and is pure delusion.
It will never happen. The godless Pope simply do not have the amount of influence to institute such a universal law.
However, as with most false prophecies, there is never a date or any other evidence given whereby it can be disproven. It is always in the future, 'someday' it will happen.

Another law Moses gave is in Deuteronomy 22:5, forbidding cross dressing which is an abomination to God. SDA women routinely dress in that which pertains to a man, (pants) just as atheist women do. A hundred years ago, all SDA women believed this and there was no cross dressing. Completely disregarding Jesus word, that He did not come to destroy the law and the prophets, He came to fulfill and not a single punctuation will fail, all will be fulfilled. Anyone who loves the truth must be concerned, because the SDA church is also participating in the falling away as described in II Thess 2.

And in James 2:10
The Holy Spirit inspired James to write,
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
He writes, ONE point, which includes buying and selling, kindling a fire and anything else forbidden in the Old Testament.
Our Lord Jesus is the fulfillment of the law, including the fulfillment of the fourth commandment. He is in fact our Sabbath rest.

Paul has NO authority to change the commandments written by GOD, NO one has, they are from the Father they will never change! Paul, Jesus all the apostles followed the sabbath it is clearly written.

What you recant is untrue, I know that some denominations think this it is but it is against scripture. To say to people they do not have to follow the sabbath is therefore wrong.


Do you or not follow the commandments? I would like to know.

Peace.

it means exactly as written , God uses physical depictions of the physical world He created for us to understand the permanence implied, either rain and snow or new heaven and earth ( also in revalations, to come). the sabbath will forever remain as God ordained.

Please show us the verse that the author of Hebrews countermanded what God wrote and spoke on His Authority.

Exo 20:10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God.

Verse please that says the Sabbath is now daily. And please do not say its "somewhere" in Hebrews.

If someone is going to countermand God what God said, when God didn't, I would want a clear verse.

Psa 89:34
My covenant I will not break,
Nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips.

Mat 5:18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.

Heaven and Earth are still here, so is God's eternal law. Mat 5:19

Good morning!
if you read the post you will not find any argument against Sabbath keeping,
The post is a simple warning similar to the warning in I Kings 22 where God sent one prophet to proclaim the truth while 400 were liars. The post simply points out that condemning others for not keeping the Sabbath (which the SDAs do enthusiastically) and not keeping it according to the OT laws will result in the Judgement of God,
(Mathew 7:1-6)
And in the same way, judging and condemning the Pope for changing God’s law and then doing the same.
The simple message is, keep the Sabbath all you want, with zeal and enthusiasm and do it correctly as per the OT commandment, but STOP judging and condemning others who don’t. I’ve noticed that when a church has a chief cornerstone other than the Lord Jesus, the great enthusiasm to promote the 'other Jesus’ seems to be evidence of trying to convince themselves.
Roman’s 14 is an explanation of our faith evidenced by what we do.
Especially verse 23.
I’m quite sure the Christian Church didn’t get it wrong until ~ 1850 when EGW had her ‘revelation' (which included the shut door prophecy)
And I don’t believe the Pope changed the day any more than I believe him about most of what else he claims.
Truly, Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, and the only way to the Father.
My rest is in Him alone!

Paul has NO authority to change the commandments written by GOD, NO one has, they are from the Father they will never change! Paul, Jesus all the apostles followed the sabbath it is clearly written.

What you recant is untrue, I know that some denominations think this it is but it is against scripture. To say to people they do not have to follow the sabbath is therefore wrong.


Do you or not follow the commandments? I would like to know.

Peace.

Hello
I most certainly do, but as Jesus my Lord changed them in the New Covenant
Simply, Jesus changed adultery into more than doing another person’s spouse, now it is changed to lusting. Murder is no longer confined to violence, now it’s a condition of the heart. In fact, Jesus changed them all, not just the outward handwriting of ordinances but to a condition of the heart.
to include judging and condemning others for what we also do. (Not keeping the Sabbath as commanded, or changing God’s law also)
So, back to you, do you keep the commandments?
Remember, if you believe the law for Gentiles (Acts 15) is to keep the Sabbath as commanded for the Jews, then it MUST be kept as God commanded it.
Do you kindle a fire on the Sabbath? (In a stove, in a car, with a light switch)
Do you buy and sell on the Sabbath? (Rent, utilities, internet, mortgage payments, etc.)
If you are convinced that the fourth commandment is for you as well as the Jews, maybe research how the Orthodox Jews keep it. But most of them even don’t keep it according to God’s commandments, they hire a Shabbat Goy, (Sabbath Gentile) to come do the nessesary work to make the Sabbath livable.
Again, if the Jew’s Sabbath is for you also, by all means keep it, but don’t change it!
And don’t judge others or you will be judged.

Hello,
Do you believe all scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for doctrine………….?
To include Paul’s writings?
see my post above for an answer to your question, do I follow the commandments.

It is non-sensical. Just goes back to the oldest argument- God's will versus man’s will.

so true ;o). ... man's will ... I'll just pick which commandments I'll abide by LOL. Didn't God say to NOT eat from the tree of knowledge and evil? Man .... I'll do it anyway ... and here we are.

Did God say to Keep the Sabbath day holy? Well yes he did. Man's will ... I'll keep whatever day I want or no day at all.

If you love Me, keep My commandments … He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me … If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.” John 14:15-24

Keep the commandments (all of them) out of Love and for no other reasons.

Good morning!
if you read the post you will not find any argument against Sabbath keeping,
The post is a simple warning similar to the warning in I Kings 22 where God sent one prophet to proclaim the truth while 400 were liars. The post simply points out that condemning others for not keeping the Sabbath (which the SDAs do enthusiastically) and not keeping it according to the OT laws will result in the Judgement of God,
(Mathew 7:1-6)
And in the same way, judging and condemning the Pope for changing God’s law and then doing the same.
The simple message is, keep the Sabbath all you want, with zeal and enthusiasm and do it correctly as per the OT commandment, but STOP judging and condemning others who don’t. I’ve noticed that when a church has a chief cornerstone other than the Lord Jesus, the great enthusiasm to promote the 'other Jesus’ seems to be evidence of trying to convince themselves.
Roman’s 14 is an explanation of our faith evidenced by what we do.
Especially verse 23.
I’m quite sure the Christian Church didn’t get it wrong until ~ 1850 when EGW had her ‘revelation' (which included the shut door prophecy)
And I don’t believe the Pope changed the day any more than I believe him about most of what else he claims.
Truly, Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, and the only way to the Father.
My rest is in Him alone!

Hello
I most certainly do, but as Jesus my Lord changed them in the New Covenant
Simply, Jesus changed adultery into more than doing another person’s spouse, now it is changed to lusting. Murder is no longer confined to violence, now it’s a condition of the heart. In fact, Jesus changed them all, not just the outward handwriting of ordinances but to a condition of the heart.
to include judging and condemning others for what we also do. (Not keeping the Sabbath as commanded, or changing God’s law also)
So, back to you, do you keep the commandments?
Remember, if you believe the law for Gentiles (Acts 15) is to keep the Sabbath as commanded for the Jews, then it MUST be kept as God commanded it.
Do you kindle a fire on the Sabbath? (In a stove, in a car, with a light switch)
Do you buy and sell on the Sabbath? (Rent, utilities, internet, mortgage payments, etc.)
If you are convinced that the fourth commandment is for you as well as the Jews, maybe research how the Orthodox Jews keep it. But most of them even don’t keep it according to God’s commandments, they hire a Shabbat Goy, (Sabbath Gentile) to come do the nessesary work to make the Sabbath livable.
Again, if the Jew’s Sabbath is for you also, by all means keep it, but don’t change it!
And don’t judge others or you will be judged.

Strange- you open to say you are not arguing against Sabbath-keeping but then go on with human arguments against Sabbath-keeping.

Then try to make the argument if you turn on a light switch that's breaking the Sabbath which is a legalistic approach to Sabbath keeping, we can't compare turning on a light switch to kindling a fire which takes hours and a lot of work. The Sabbath is about honoring God and having communion with God on the day God set aside sanctified and blessed for holy use. When keeping it shows God is our Authority Eze 20:20 and its a remembrance of how we got here and where we came from as it takes us back to Creation Exo 20:8-11 Gen 2:1-3

I don't think one can reason with this type of thinking, I have tried in the past, so will leave it as agree to disagree and all will get sorted out soon enough.

 

[eleos1954]

I'm not aware of any person or group who says they should abide by all of the 10 commandments, but the 4th.
For the record, can you name one group or person who says this, please. Thanks.

I have heard most people both on these forums and off, quote the words of the scriptures, which in more than one place says, the entire law stands fulfilled in one saying... you must love your neighbor as your self. Love is the laws fulfillment. Galatians 5:14
Romans 13:8-10 says...
8 Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for the one who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the Law. 9 For this, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the Law.

Some also quote Galatians 6:2 regarding fulfilling the law of Christ.


As a Jew, Jesus kept the Law of Moses.
That is the reason why Jesus was circumcised on the eighth day, according to the law of Moses. Luke 1:59

Would Jesus and his parents have sinned if they did not abide by that law?
Since Jesus got circumcised according to the law, why, may I ask, don't you get circumcised?

Love

Jesus says: “If you love Me, keep My commandments … He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me … If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.” John 14:15-24.

For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. Romans 8:3-4 NKJV

In baptism we crucify all of our flesh with Christ. Romans 6:3-7. Like circumcision of old, baptism is a sign casting away the confidence of the flesh and trusting God’s promises to make us a new creation, God’s own recreation.

This is my covenant which you shall keep between me and you and thy seed after you — every male child among you shall be circumcised. ' The biblical explanation for this commandment states quite clearly that the circumcision acted as an outward physical sign of the eternal covenant between God and the Jewish people.

The relationship with God/Jesus is internal not external ... it is a spiritual relationship.

Romans 2:29 ESV​

But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God.

Circumcision was a ceremonial law (and yes Jesus kept those) of the Old Testament however the ceremonial laws were abolished when Christ died and rose from the dead. No longer is physical circumcision a requirement for a person to be in a covenant relationship with God Acts 15 as well as Galatians 2:1-16. Those who put their trust in Jesus Christ alone are part of God’s covenant community and are in right standing with God by faith. God does not look for our outward signs to demonstrate fidelity to Him. Instead, God looks for those who are circumcised in the heart (Deuteronomy 10:16; 30:6). Before the death of Jesus ... the Jews of old were to be physically circumcised (as a physical sign) but were to be circumcised in the heart as well.

Jesus fulfilled (kept perfectly) all the laws (ceremonial and moral), thus abolishing the difference between Jew and Gentile "so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross…" (Ephesians 2:15-16).

The ceremonial laws were abolished (those associated with the sanctuary system) .... not the moral law (the 10 commandments)

Would Jesus and his parents have sinned if they did not abide by that law?

Yes ... because at that time the ceremonial laws were in effect but we know Jesus did not sin (kept both ceremonial and moral law) ... and all those in Him will be fully pardoned from sin according to His righteous judgment ... including His parents.

You did not answer the question is Gods fourth commandment to be followed or not?

The fourth commandment is obeyed in our God's full-time Sabbath rest from our own work to save and in Jesus work which saves (Heb 4:8-10).

 

[SabbathBlessings]

Jesus is my sabbath.

Jesus is my covet- so does that mean I am free to break this commandment and covet?

Sabbath commandment
Exo 20:8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

Jesus am pretty sure Jesus is my Sabbath is no where in the commandments or anywhere in scripture. I'm not sure when Jesus became a day or commandment but that makes Him, the creation, and not the Creator- as He says He is Lord of the Sabbath Mat 2:28, not that He is the Sabbath,

 

[JesusFollowerForever]

The fourth commandment is obeyed in our God's full-time Sabbath rest from our own work to save and in Jesus work which saves (Heb 4:8-10).

Claire, The sabbath is not only about work here is what the word of God given to us says;

Exodus 20:8-11 (KJV): 8. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9. Six days shalt thou labour, 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: 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 day, and hallowed it.

The concept of the Sabbath as a sign between God and His people (THE JEWS AND ALSO ALL WHO BELIEVE IN THE FATHER AND THE SON) is mentioned in several places in the Old Testament. These texts confirm the Sabbath's role as a distinctive mark of the covenant relationship between God and His people. Here are some key passages that elaborate on this theme:

Exodus 31:12-17​

Exodus 31:12-17 (KJV): 12. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 13. Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you. 14. Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 15. Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. 16. Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. 17. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

In this passage, the Sabbath is a divine sign of the covenant between God and his chosen people, it also applies to all the believers as defined in the old testament, see the laws about the sojourners. It signifies God's role as the sanctifier and highlights the Sabbath's perpetual nature as a distinguishing mark of the relationship between God and His people. The Sabbath is not just a day of rest but a symbol of the covenant and a reflection of God's creative work.

Ezekiel 20:12 and 20​

Ezekiel 20:12 (KJV): 12. Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them.

Ezekiel 20:20 (KJV): 20. And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the Lord your God.

Ezekiel reiterates that the Sabbath serves as a sign between God and His people. It is a means for GOD's chosen people to recognize God's sanctifying power and His role as their God. By keeping the Sabbath, the people affirm their covenant with God and acknowledge His authority and holiness.

Do you see now the importance of following the sabbath!

Leviticus 19:3​

Leviticus 19:3 (KJV): 3. Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.

This verse connects the observance of the Sabbath with respect for one's parents and the broader commandments of God, integrating it into the daily lives and moral conduct of the people.

Importance of the Sabbath, it was set APART from the other days of the week for many reasons.​

The Sabbath is a tangible sign of the covenant between God and His people. It represents a mutual commitment, where the observance of the Sabbath reaffirms the people’s relationship with God and their recognition of His authority and provision.

The Sabbath symbolizes God’s sanctification of His people. By observing the Sabbath, people acknowledge that they are set apart by God and that He is the one who sanctifies them.

The Sabbath serves as a time for physical rest and spiritual reflection. It is a day dedicated to ceasing from regular work and focusing on God, providing an opportunity for renewal and worship.

The Sabbath reflects God’s rest after creation and serves as a reminder of His redemptive work. It is a weekly celebration of God’s creation and an affirmation of His ongoing role in sustaining and redeeming His people.

The Sabbath also emphasizes social justice by ensuring rest for all members of the community, including servants and animals. This aspect of the Sabbath highlights the ethical dimension of living in accordance with God's commands, promoting fairness and compassion.

In summary, the Sabbath is a multifaceted sign of the covenant between God and Israel and all who believe and belong to GOD, connecting theological, ethical, and social dimensions. It serves as a continual and eternal reminder of God's sanctification, creative work, and redemptive acts, while also providing a rhythm of rest and renewal for His peoples.

Blessings for observing the sabbath;​

Isaiah 58:13-14 (KJV): 13. If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: 14. Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

The sabbath is part of the Moral law, it is different than the law of Moses. the Commandments are set in stone and are forever. with this last phrase comes an argument that is often expressed about the covenants old and new, see Jeremiah 31:31-34.

Peace

And don’t judge others or you will be judged.

Jesus did not change the Sabbath or set a different time for it. Instead, He clarified and magnified the commandments, explaining their true meaning. The Pharisees and Sadducees had added many rules and made the law burdensome, but Jesus taught that the commandments are fundamentally based on love—first and foremost for God, and then for our neighbors.

Jesus came to guide us onto the proper path, and He emphasized that He did not abolish the law. The proof is found in the scriptures. We see that Jesus observed the Sabbath both before and after His resurrection, as did the apostles. There is no text indicating that the commandments or the Sabbath are no longer applicable.

Sabbaths in plural! Many other sabbaths were part of the mosaic law. The sabbath command number 4 in the 10 Commandment sis different. Please do not confuse them.

Sabbath Year (Shemittah) - Every seventh year, the land rests.
Year of Jubilee (Yovel) - Every fiftieth year, land returns to its original owner and servants are freed.
Sabbath of Weeks (Shavuot) - A one-day festival, 50 days after Passover.
Sabbath of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) - The first day of the seventh month, marked by trumpet blasts.
Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) - A solemn day of fasting and atonement, on the tenth day of the seventh month.
Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) - A seven-day festival starting on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, with an additional eighth day.

Each of these observances reflects various aspects of religious life, land management, and communal restoration in ancient Israel.
