When did the Sabbath stop being holy?

[Cuddles333]

Jesus didn't say abolish...He said fulfill. Huge difference. Paul said the law is dead and nailed to the cross along with Jesus. Either Paul was totally wrong and preaching a whole different gospel or your understanding of Jesus' words is flawed.

When we keep the law of love we two have kept the intent of the old law. Simple and beautiful.

We know that God had sanctified the 7th day, and it may have been on this day that Able and Cain chose to present their offerings to Him. However, we cannot find where God commanded anyone else but the Israelites to observe this day. Only until we can find in the New Testament where the Christians are to carry on the observance of this day that God sanctified for Himself, can we actually say that no other day should be set aside.

In Ephesians 2:15 & Colossians 2:14 the Koine Greek word for ordinances is 'dogma'. Thayer's Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament says of this word in those 2 verses: 'the law of commandments contained in the ordinances- the bond against us by it's decrees'.

This boils down to saying that if it wqs not just the laws outside the 10 commandments that were 'nailed to the cross'....but also the 10 commandments themselves, then those 10 commandments were 'dogma' .

Why do you require God to repeat himself?

Whom among you would argue for the liberty to marry your sibling? Instead, you would forbid such a thing. On what basis? The NT doesn't mention it.

Does God's Law forbid what God's Grace allows? Does God's Grace allow what God's Law forbid?

Does God need to tell you again not to have sex with beasts?

But that is exactly what you demand. Yet there remains a Sabbath for the people of God...

Jud 1:3
Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.

I believe what the verse says. Literally.

I couldn't break it down anymore for you without knowing which word you don't understand.

Thank for that brief and somewhat vague explanation of your interpretation of the verse.

Blessings

"literally" It means, I believe what it says.

Perhaps, your more interested in how such a reading impacts some other point of scripture, but you haven't asked that.

Why is it people always end up confusing the Sabbath day with the Old Covenant? They are completely different topics...

Old Covenant: Salvation through the blood of literal lambs. imperfect, needed to be repeated year after year

New Covenant: Salvation through the blood of Jesus (the Lamb of God). perfect, only needed to be done once for all.

Hebrews 9:22 The law requires nearly everything to be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death...

When Adam and Eve sinned, scripture infers an animal of some sort was killed. Gen 3:21 The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.

In Gen 4 Cain brought the best of his crops, Abel brought the best of his flock. Cains was rejected and Abel's accepted.

In Gen 22:8 Abraham says to his son Isaac: God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering.

As Jesus died on the cross the curtain in the temple was torn in two from top to bottom (Matt 27:50-51). The end of the old covenant and the beginning of the new. Instead of being saved through the blood of goats and bulls (a shadow and type of the realities themselves) we are now saved through the blood of Jesus shed on the cross.
Heb 10:3-4; 8-10




Heb 10:19-22
Therefore, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of JEsus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great high priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.
