worshipping on the sabbath
05-28-2011, 11:02 PM
Here's the way I've always been taught, bear with me. With Romans 14:5 Paul was following the example of the Apostles in Acts 15:21:
Act 15:21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
In other words, don't confront people and divide over issues when a lot of different folk are beginning to come together based on what they have in common. And that eventually we would all come into unity of the faith. I think this is a perfect opposite of denominating everyone.
You are right that the Rabbis did not (and still do not) consider the sabbath as being for the Gentiles, hence today we have something called the Noahide Laws, which basically cuts out anyone not considered Jew from the 10 Commandments, which were a "wedding ring" so to speak, and a lot of Jews are against it.
Joh 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
(For the seed of Abraham was to become as the sands of the sea, scattered over the earth, but only a remnant should return.)
Isa 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
In the Day when YHWH Himself shall take the Reign, all flesh means all flesh.
Sabbath can be traced back into history to a time when all flesh remembered the 7th day since the time of Adam - <URL url="http://www.sdadefend.com/MINDEX%20Tracts/BS-3-Sabbath-Jesus.pdf">[url]<LINK_TEXT text="http://www.sdadefend.com/MINDEX%20Tract ... -Jesus.pdf">http://www.sdadefend.com/MINDEX%20Tracts/BS-3-Sabbath-Jesus.pdf</LINK_TEXT>[/url], but it was outlawed by Constantine in 321 AD, changed to the "venerable day of the Sun," and those who disobeyed were hunted, punished, and slaughtered.
Very true, science is amazing... the number 7 is built into Creation itself (and other related numbers), due to the honoring of the Creator, being Creator, that means He is the ultimate Owner of everything.
Very true, Sabbath can become quite a legalistic trap... I think people would often do better to worry more about working hard 6 days a week! Knowing these things, many get into denominating and dividing, when our forerunners would've said not to. Thank you for your time and consideration, and much love, Shalom
