This very point was brought up earlier (to no effect).Yes, you did not say I keep Sunday, you said I, along with others, bend the commandment to point to Sunday. This is something I have never done and yes your statement is an indicator that I observe the commandment on Sunday. I ask you to stop writing things that are not true.
You need to follow BugKiller, Disciple1, BobS, "2 Know Him" .. and a bunch of other guys a bit more closely if you think nobody is arguing with me daily on this area of the board - taking their stand against the Ten Commandments on this board.
They almost never get to "your topic" which is "not keeping Sabbath on Saturday as God commanded - and instead just bending the commandment to point to Sunday". You cannot simply "imagine reality" for us - look at the actual posts.
-- they are much more interested in attacking all 6 of your other points, declaring the Ten Commandments to be done away (hint see the title of this thread)
- while you imagine that such opposition is not happening - and can all be re-imagined as "keeping Sabbath on Saturday instead of keeping Sabbath on Sunday". Frankly you are the only one on this board even having that conversation. Much less "imagining" that everyone here is discussing that point. Join the conversation as it exists "in real life".
Sophrosyne also opposes ALL 7 of your points - his only agreement with you is in the area of ad hominem and re-imagining reality from time to time.
Read the actual posts!!
Before I report your post - will do you the favor of asking one question -- where in that post of mine to Albion do you see me claiming that you "keep sunday"?????
in Christ,
Bob
Moses clearly stated that the Sabbath was given to ensure that people did not overwork others and that they gave themselves a break from labour also. The Sabbath wasn't the issue, the issue was to ensure a regular break.
I think that often times people think the issue is with the Sabbath being Saturday or Sunday, but really the issue has nothing to do with that, the issue is that we follow Jesus and Jesus clearly stated that the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath.
Deu 5:14 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, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.
Deu 5:15 And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.
Moses clearly stated that the Sabbath was given to ensure that people did not overwork others and that they gave themselves a break from labour also. The Sabbath wasn't the issue, the issue was to ensure a regular break.
Mat 12:7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
Mat 12:8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
This is what the Sabbath does, it shows mercy: it is not about sacrifice.
Those of us who follow Jesus don't see that the Sabbath day as a particular day of obligation, but rather we see it as a call to ensure rest for others, and our self, to ensure a respite from labour.
The issue we have with those who claim one must rest from Friday evening to Saturday evening is that they are missing the very point that the 10 Commandments, and the Laws of Moses, are not the covenant that we live by.
Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
The Hebrew literally says NOT THE COVENANT...
Why is it that you keep wanting to impose the Old Covenant upon people? The simple answer is that you have taken Matthew 5:17, a verse that translators translated very badly, to try and bring people to obedience to the covenant that was made through Moses with the children of Israel: which covenant has long since ceased.
Mat 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
Mat 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
Luk 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
When Jesus was baptized and the dove fell upon him, it was his inauguration ceremony and he began his reign and thus when he came out of the wilderness he began to teach the rules of his kingdom. Those of us that follow Christ's teachings, have made them the rule by which we subject ourselves too.
You are partially right that it was made so man can rest from his labors. The part of keeping it on the actual 7th day is extremely important. Why? Its because it harkens back to when the Creator of the universe rested on the 7th day. When we keep the sabbath we are saying, "I am honoring this day because I serve YHVH the Creator of the universe". When you keep other days you in a sense say you're worshipping other gods.
Made for man, ordained by Elohim, kept by His people
You are making quite a statement by saying "When you keep other days you in a sense say you're worshipping other gods." You statement is totally false. I keep a day of rest keeping in mind that man was not made for the day, but rather the day was made for man: to ensure rest. The Son of man lord's over the Sabbath, not the other way around. Jesus had every right to use the Sabbath as he desired, by his own words, this could not be so if he was subject to the Sabbath as a Law.
I don't know how you keep the Sabbath, but I am pretty sure it would not meet the standards of many orthodox Jews. Maybe what you should consider is that by pushing the Sabbath, the way you are, you are negating Jesus' words, by saying: God does demand sacrifice and sacrifice is primary. If I am a employer of people and give them Wednesday off every week, and do so from morning to morning, am I not providing rest?
Why didn't people already keep a Sabbath from the beginning of time?
Deu 5:12 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee.
Deu 5:13 Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:
Deu 5:14 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, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.
Deu 5:15 And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.
The Sabbath day was not given to man from the beginning of time, it was commanded because of the hardness of men's hearts, as God knew if the children of Israel didn't have such a command, then they would have pushed their workers without rest: without such a command preventing it.
There is no command, or history of any ritual Sabbath, ever mentioned before Moses commanded it: to the Children of Israel.
I don't think you have any idea what the vast majority of Christians do. Most of us don't come anywhere close to keeping a day in the fashion your require.You are partially right that it was made so man can rest from his labors. The part of keeping it on the actual 7th day is extremely important. Why? Its because it harkens back to when the Creator of the universe rested on the 7th day.

I'm utterly disgusted by how blind you "christians" are. You twist everything into lawlessness and make yourselves like demons in the process. I'm done trying to reason with those who can't reason even when every proof is in your face. Repent or die spiritually.
Act_8:22 "Repent therefore of this evil of yours, and plead with Elohim to forgive you the intention of your heart.
Hos_8:12 "I have written for him numerous matters of My Torah – they were regarded as strange.
Mat 7:23 "And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from Me, you who work lawlessness!’

I said that hardly anyone is showing any interest in arguing with you, again and again, about Saturday worship.
you wouldn't lie would you? I bend nothing and I do not"keep" Sunday. Lets get that straight for the last time. Next time I will do some reporting. I am tired of cleaning up after you.
Yes, you did not say I keep Sunday,
you said I, along with others, bend the commandment to point to Sunday.
This is something I have never done and yes your statement is an indicator that I observe the commandment on Sunday.
This very point was brought up earlier (to no effect).
Yesterday I was feeling bad, having just cut my leg with a chain saw, and allowed my fingers to get ahead of my brain.
Just because I do not believe we are under the 10 commandments, Sabbath included
You say we are lawless, but I am not lawless, I am under Christ's laws: not Moses'.
I don't think you have any idea what the vast majority of Christians do. Most of us don't come anywhere close to keeping a day in the fashion your require.

By "rejecting the teaching of Christ"???
"If they do not Listen to Moses NEITHER will they listen though one rises from the dead" Luke 16
8. There is NOT ONE text in NT or OT saying it is ok by God if we bend/edit/break/ignore one of the TEN Commandments - but we DO have condemnation for doing such a thing in the NT -- by the Words of Christ Himself! Mark 7:6-13
Mark 7
7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8 For laying aside the Commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.
12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
13 Making the Word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
That is a case of Christ demonstrating the way that the magisterium is hammered "sola scriptura" in the cases where it's traditions and "doctrines of men" are at odds with scripture.
Eph 6:2 -- what unit of LAW in scripture - known to NT saints has the 5th Commandment as its FIRST commandment with a promise?
Christ GAVE us the TEN Commandments according to Hebrews 8:6-10
You say we are lawless, but I am not lawless, I am under Christ's laws: not Moses'.
Can you explain to me what the word Torah actually means?
And you are just partially right because in Deut 5 the issue about keeping Sabbath was to remember how God led the Israelites out of Egypt. I am not an Israelite so what does that have to do with me or any gentile?You are partially right that it was made so man can rest from his labors. The part of keeping it on the actual 7th day is extremely important. Why? Its because it harkens back to when the Creator of the universe rested on the 7th day.

If you meant YOU why did you write THEY? But then we know you are never wrong, so I will not expect an apology.They almost never get to "your topic" which is "not keeping Sabbath on Saturday as God commanded - and instead just bending the commandment to point to Sunday". You cannot simply "imagine reality" for us - look at the actual posts.
There you go again using THEY. To my knowledge I have never attacked anything Albion has written.-- they are much more interested in attacking all 6 of your other points, declaring the Ten Commandments to be done away (hint see the title of this thread)
- while you imagine that such opposition is not happening
Again, where did I do something that need to be reported. I am sure you read my previous post where I ask you to identify where I have violated any rules so that I can make amends. Why is it that you continuously skip over questions that we ask you? Could it be that you really cannot answer them?Before I report your post -

Question for you -- Eph 6:2 -- what unit of LAW in scripture - known to NT saints has the 5th Commandment as its FIRST commandment with a promise?
Christ GAVE us the TEN Commandments according to Hebrews 8:6-10
Are you asking this sideline question because you see me use the term in that post - or are you "buying time" in an effort to avoid the Eph 6:2 question asked of you?
Luke 24
27 And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.
Next question for you: Is Luke 24:27 the "pre-cross much-to-be-ignored" teaching of Christ in your view - or the "post-cross much-to-be ignorned" teaching of Christ - or would you agree that NONE of the teaching of Christ is "much-to-be-ignored"??
actually the only ignore 602 as they "claim" to keep dietary laws (and promote them in the forum).Tsk, tsk, tsk. There you go again, elevating the ten commandments and willfully ignoring 603 specific commandments of God.
