And where is "
Do not take God's name in vain"?Ex 20:7
and where is "
Love God with all your heart" Deut 6:5
and where is "
do not have any other gods" ?
- none of the commands related to man's obligation to God are listed in Matt 19 or in
Romans 13.
What is your point???
On the contrary it goes STRAIGHT to the obvious point -- - none of the commands related to man's obligation to God are listed in Matt 19 or in
Romans 13.
Matt 19 is not a case of Christ saying to take God's name in vain or to ignore the 4th commandment.
Bob.....By citing some of the Ten Commandments, Jesus clarified that He was speaking about
God’s commands, not the commands of the
Sanhedrin.
Now, because Christ did not directly refer to four commandments, is it alright to break them? For instance, is it acceptable to worship other gods? To swear, break the Sabbath or covet? The answer:
of course not!
James 2:10:
“For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.”
However......and the root of the whole discussion is that the Law was not given to the Church. The 10 Commandments were given to the children of Israel.
The Israelites were commanded to keep the Sabbath holy. However, no command for Christians to keep the Sabbath is found in the New Testament.
Now.....YOU and every single SDA believers can observe and worship on the Sabbath!
I do not care even one little bit! All I am saying is that you can not do it and say the Bible demands it!!!!!
We can banter back and forth all day but the truth is that There is no command in the Bible to keep the Sabbath nor was it practiced prior to the giving of the Law on Mount Sinai.
ALL Scripture verses merely document God’s resting from His work on the seventh day.
Now YOU and I both know that!!!!!!!!
The Sabbath was ordained as part of the Mosaic Law in Ex. 20:8-11and was given to The nation of Israel and was commanded by God to have a complete day of worship and rest. PEROID!
If you want to follow the Law as given to the nation of Israel then by all means do it!
Exodus 31:13-17.......
“
Speak you also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my Sabbaths you shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that you may know that I am the LORD that does sanctify you. … 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."
