What commandments?

[Bob S]

Thanks so much for this!

Do we have any guidance on how to honor the Sabbath?

I am Protestant and I have no idea about the Sabbath. I was taught it was not relevant, anymore. I'm sure many are taught this. I wouldn't even know where to begin or how to do this in modern life.

I feel quite lost on this point.

If the Sabbath were written on our hearts wouldn't we know it and seek to keep it like the Israelites were commanded?

Concerning Matt 5, Jesus explained that the law would remain until all He came to do was done. I believe Jesus did everything He came to do. Paul wrote in 2 Cor3 KJV that the ten Commandments were done away. His take on the subject is that the ten were instructions for those under the Sinai Covenant. We are under the New Covenant and the Holy Spirit is our guide. Read 2 Cor3:6-11.

6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:

8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?

9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.

11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.

The ministration was done away with from Moses to Christ as He is now our Mediator. God's Laws was not done away with as God promised Psa89:34 Mat5:18-19 they went from tables of stone to be written into tablets of the heart 2Cor3:3 Heb8:10 for those who subject themselves to the Law of God Rom8:7-8 through love and faith Rev 14:12 1John5:3 Rom3:31 John14:15
