I do think that breaking the 4th commandment would be sin, but people seem to have innate moral intutions about all of God's law except the 4th commandment. It seems, then, that all of God's law except for the 4th commandment has been "written on the heart" of people. Doesn't this indicate that God isn't as concerned about the 4th commandment as the rest? What I need is more enlightenment on why not keeping the Sabbath is such a big sin. I pray everyday. I walk with God. I preach his Word. I have just never been convicted about this Sabbath thing. I guess I should be, but I am just not. I was hoping you could enlighten me aside from just telling me that it is a commandment of God.
I was wondering if you could help me understand why you believe that Saturday is the Sabbath when there is no evidence in the Bible to support your claim. I know that there is no evidence that Sunday is the Sabbath day either. So could you please point out to me where in the Bible is says that Saturday is the Sabbath day? And please use only the Bible.
As we are aware in the Old Testament, the Jewish leaders were very strict and introduced man-made laws into the observence of the Sabbath, even rebuking Christ for healing on the Sabbath, etc. I do not want to mistakingly follow the Jewish tradition of the Sabbath to that point. I want to observe the Sabbath (on the seventh day) the way Christ meant and instructed us to. What is that way? For instance, when does the Sabbath begin and end, and what can we do and not do in order to keep it holy?
The information you provided is outstanding pertaining to the Sabbath. When reading Daniel 9:27, it indicates that the Messiah will be cut off in the midst of the week (the middle). The spirit is leading me to believe that the crucifixion was on Wednesday, which would be consistent with Matthew 12:40, stating that as Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights, so shall the son of man be in the heart of the Earth. Looking at this from a prayerful perspective there is no way Jesus could have been crucified on Friday and resurrected on Sunday. Keep in mind that he gave up his spirit at three o'clock in the afternoon. I'll let you do the math.
Could you explain to me how it was only Paul who ate in the reference in Acts? As I read Acts 20:7 KJV "...when the disciples came together to break bread... and NASB ...when we were gathered together to break bread," it appears to me that the Christians came together for the purpose of breaking bread. Sometimes the phrase "breaking bread" does signify a communion service. How do we know that Acts 20 does NOT talk about a communion service? If "breaking bread" in Acts 20 signified only a regular meal, as you suggest, then why did only Paul eat?
I'm having trouble understanding how Christians need to make any issue about the Sabbath day, when Paul carefully explains in Romans 14:5-6 that it doesn't matter if we "regard a day" or "see all days alike." Paul follows up this point in Colossians 2: 14 & 16-17 by saying that we should not allow anyone to judge us on this issue. Explain, please!
