Why worry about the Ten Commandments, if you are disregarding the Sabbath?

It has been amusing to me, here in the United States, regarding all the recent concern that Christian judges, churches, and organizations have regarding the removal of various historic monuments of the Ten Commandments in public places, like court houses, capital buildings, parks, etc., etc., while the majority of Christians in favor of the their not being removed are not keeping the 4th Commandment [7th day Sabbath]. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), could easily point out this inconsistency to the embarassment of those Christians calling for the Ten Commandments to not be removed on the grounds that their visibility in public places will discourage lawlessness, while the very same Christians are being "lawless" by breaking the 4th Commandment.
First let me say the 10 commandmants are law, and we live by grace... Though on the historic level, it seems to me that having them in public places only remind us of our roots in the faith. Why anyone would not want them in a public place I don't understand...

I think the problem here is that there's some confusion about exactly what the Sabbath is for the Christian.

The Saturday Sabbath was only meant to be a type of Christ, pointing the way to the rest we find in Christ, not some legal chain around our ankle.

Now that Christ has come, He is our Sabbath.


BOOYAH!
BAM!

There it is there... :thumbsup:

Everyone may now be seated.
