STAYING HOME ON THE SABBATH?
You are confused read the scriptures and the chapter context you left you. Where does it say in God's 4th commandment we are to stay home on the SEVENTH DAY SABBATH? Here is let's post the 4th Commandment then look at what you posted.
EXODUS 20:8-11 [8], REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY [Made Holy at creation
GENESIS 2:3]. [9], Six days shall you labor, and do all your work: [10], But THE SEVENTH DAY [
Genesis 2:1-3] IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD YOUR GOD : in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates: [WHY?] [11], FOR IN SIX DAYS THE LORD MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH, THE SEA, AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM IS, AND RESTED THE SEVENTH DAY; WHEREFORE THE LORD BLESSED THE SABBATH DAY AND MADE IT HOLY. [Refering
to
GENESIS 2:1-3]
Nope! Nothing about staying home on the Sabbath and nothing about stoning anyone in the NEW TESTAMENT either.
..............
Let's look now at the scripture you try to use to say people have to stay home on the Sabbath and add the context back in.
COLLECTING MANA ON THE SABBATH (WORK ON THE SABBATH)
IN THE WILDERNESS
EXODUS 16:19-30
[19], And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
[20],
Notwithstanding they listened not to Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.
[21],
And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
[22],
And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
[23], And he said to them,
This is that which the LORD has said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath to the LORD: bake that which you will bake to day, and seethe that you will seethe; and that which remains over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
[24],
And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
[25],
And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath to the LORD: to day you shall not find it in the field.
[26],
Six days you shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
[27],
And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.
[28], And the LORD said to Moses,
How long refuse you to keep my commandments and my laws?
[29],
See, for that the LORD has given you the sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide you every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
[30], So the people rested on the seventh day.
This is not a commandment to stay home on the SABBATH it is a command not to WORK on the SABBATH by going out to collect MANNA on the SABBATH because breaking God's 4th Commandment just like every other commandment is SIN *JAMES 2:10-11. JESUS and the APOSTLES are our example and there custom NOT to stay at home but to go out to Church or in nature on the SABBATH *LUKE 4:16; ACTS 17:2
..................
According to God's WORD, ALL those who CONTINUE in KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN (KNOWINGLY BREAK ANY ONE OF GOD'S 10 COMMANDMENT) will not enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN *
HEBREWS 10:26-27 because they reject the gift of God's dear son *
ROMANS 6:23.
OBEDIENCE to God's LAW is not how we are saved it is the FRUIT of God's work in us as we BELIEVE and FOLLOW his WORD. If our faith has no fruit it is dead *
JAMES 2:18-20; 26 and our tree will be cast down and thrown into the fire *
MATTHEW 3:10; 7:19-20; 13:49-50. We are saved by GRACE through faith and not of ourselves it is a gift of God *
EPHESIANS 2:8. We are all sick with sin and need a Physician *
MATTHEW 9:12-13. JESUS says arise take up your bed and walk. I believe him. How about you?
God's 4th commandment is one of the 10 commandments that gives us the KNOWLEDGE of what SIN is when broken *
ROMANS 3:20. God's WORD says if we break ANY ONE of God's commandments we stand guilty before God of SIN *
JAMES 2:10-11. If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness we are in danger of the Judgement (
Hebrews 10:26-27)
God's people are in every church *
JOHN 10:16 and He knows that many break this commandment out of IGNORANCE because what they have been taught in the Churches they may be in. JESUS says that the hour is coming and NOW is that he will call his people out from following the teachings and tradtions of men to worship God in Spirit and in truth according to his WORD *
JOHN 4:23-24
Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has led many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (
Matthew 15:3-9) There is not one scripture in all of God's Word that says that God's 4th Commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to KEEP Sunday as a Holy day.
Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of men or the Word of God? Who should we believe the Words of men or the Word of God? In times of ignorance God winks at but now ,<when a KNOWLEDGE of the truth has come> calls all men everywhere to REPENT (FOLLOW) (Acts 17:30-31).
Hope this helps.
