What is the purpose of the Sabbath?

[soldier of light]

I don't know. Every day is alike to me. I dont understand Sabbath but I rest from evil every day.

 

[HIM]

I don't know.

That being the case then why did you continue after this sentence.

Lovely reply. Thank you. Why are you worried about it? Why not just scroll past?

 

[Leaf473]

Do you think David turned back into a lost soul as soon as Jesus was born? As soon as Jesus died?

No, I don't think that

 

[HIM]

Lovely reply.

Thank you

Thank you.

You're welcome

Because what you said afterwards wasn't scriptural and proved that you didn't know like you said.

 

[Leaf473]

I tell you what, have your whole family lay in it and don't wash afterwards. And then after a couple days go back in the room and roll in it some more and don't wash.
Let me know how that works out for you and yours and then tell me if your unclean or not.

It would definitely be unhealthy, but would it still today make a person unclean according to Leviticus 15?

In that state, would you still be able to legitimately remove your tithe?

...neither have I removed any of it while I was unclean Deuteronomy 26:14

And resting

Colossians 2:16 says,"Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:" Sabbth is plural not singular. And these sabbaths are those mentioned in the book of the Law not the Sabbath in the Ten Commandments. These sabbaths are also called a shadow of things to come. The Ten commandments were never called a shadow of anything. The word therefore in verse 16 as you know means what was is being said is a conclusion to what was just said. This brings us back to verse 13 and the proclamation of us being forgiven all trespasses. In respect to this forgiveness verse 14 states the handwriting to the ordinances that were against us, and contrary to us have been blotted by the nailing them to the Cross. These are they which are hand written in the book of the Law and were against us because of our sin. They condemned us and were contrary to us. The ceremonial and sacrificial services that were a shadow of Christ redemptive work. These principalities, things established first he spoiled, disarmed their powers and triumphed over them in it, the cross. These that were the handwriting to the ordinances, that which were established first written in the book of the law in which contained the meat and drink offerings, holy days, new moon and sabbaths. These were a shadow of things to come. Not the Ten Commandments in which the 7th Day Sabbath is of. Written by the finger of God on tables of stone. But those ordinances which dealt with our sin and our estrangement from God. These were a witness against us, placed on the side of the Ark of the covenant as Deut. 31:26 shares. Not the Ten Commandments in which the 7th day Sabbath is of.

Deut 31:26 Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.
Col 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting to the ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Col 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Col 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Col 2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

What did I say that wasn't scriptural?

So you would go amongst people in fellowship and to church in that condition spreading whatever contagion might be harboring due to
not doing as the Lord deemed?

 

[Leaf473]

not sure why that is coming up in your post

I'm bringing it up now because you replied to a post of mine from Jul 11, 2023

have you considered posting on the topic of the thread?

I believe it was on topic at the time

But it was 19 months ago, so I'm not sure what the train of thought was at that time

 

[soldier of light]

I dont do evil any day that I'm aware of. Every day is holy

 

[HIM]

What did I say that wasn't scriptural?

Every day is alike to me. I dont understand Sabbath but I rest from evil every day.

None of which has anything to do with the Sabbath.

 

[Leaf473]

No, that would be unhealthy

I would probably also use alcohol-based products in addition to the water

Would you say that a person in that state today would still be unclean until evening, as Leviticus says?

 

[soldier of light]

In your opinion. Have a nice day. I'm resting from evil and so joyful doing it

 

[HIM]

I dont do evil any day that I'm aware of. Every day is holy

Another misunderstanding of what the Bible says about the Sabbath

In your opinion.

No it isn't. But since you don't actual have an answer from the Bible.....take care

Have a nice day. I'm resting from evil and so joyful doing it

Which has nothing to do with the 4th commandment

 

[BobRyan]

Heb 4:8-9 presents another Sabbath rest for the people of God, the NT Sabbath rest--from one's own work to save and in Christ's work which saves.

1. There is no such thing as "Salvation by works in the OT" as the Gospel that then gets replaced by another gospel in Heb 4. In fact Gal 1 specifically rejects the two-gospel model. And Gal 3:8 specifically teaches the ONE gospel is preached OT "to Abraham"

2. "Every Sabbath" in Acts 18:4 is not a reference to a bunch of "every day Sabbaths" in the synagogues.

Nice but I think we all agree that in Gen 2:1-3 -- Adam was not "resting from evil" on his first full day of life - his first Sabbath.

Which has nothing to do with the 4th commandment

Sabbath has meaning as a day of rest even in the sinless environment of Eden according to the Bible.

 

[BobRyan]

No more so than abolishment of the Levitical ceremonial laws contradicts Leviticus.

An animal sacrifice pointing to the death of Christ -- that ends (as Heb 10 pints out) when Christ dies on the cross --- is not being "contradicted".

But both Sunday keeping scholars and Sabbath keeping ones - affirm the fact that the TEN - all TEN are included in the moral law of God. Where they argue is whether it is ok to edit the Law of God in the case of the Sabbath commandment.

That is very different from a shadow animal sacrifice ending at the death of Christ.

 

[BobRyan]

Where do suppose David was after he died? Was he nicely snoozing in his grave?

John 11 "Lazarus sleeps - I go that I may wake him"

1 Thess 4:13-18
13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as indeed the rest of mankind do, who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose from the dead, so also God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep through Jesus. 15 For we say this to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who remain, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore, comfort one another with these words.

 

[BobRyan]

No, that's not what I was asking

What I'm bringing up is this idea:

If a man has liquid waste ....

Have you considered posting on the topic of this thread??

 

[BobRyan]

The apostles, including Paul, regularly attended Sabbath services in synagogues to preach and teach. For instance, in Acts 13:14, Paul and his companions went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day ...

Good point.

Acts 13 is also interesting because the gentiles wait for all the Jews to leave the synagogue on that Sabbath -- then they ask Paul for "more Gospel preaching" to be scheduled for them "The next Sabbath". And on the "next Sabbath' almost the entire town shows up for that gospel message.
