Michael D: Izzy, do you hope to achieve by seeting yourself to obey the ten commandments? What do you hope to �achieve� by obeying the other nine? Or don�t you believe they exist anymore, either? IzzyAlso, If I may add... Keeping your Sabbath is something you must do because you need to obey your conscience (from what you have shared), but I would suggest that it is not part of fulfilling the ten commandments, because the commandment of Sabbath in the NT is our rest in Jesus as I previously mentioned re Hebrews 4. Why did Jesus, the apostles, and all the Believers keep the Sabbath? Please write specifically what scripture you think says this.
Michael D: Izzy, I am in agreement with Glenn's answer on this. Many things Jesus did, He did it because He submitted to the old covenant. That's why I keep asking, and ask here again, where in the Church age are we commanded to keep the sabbath day. Can you furnish me an answer for that one? I would appreciate that.
Also, I keep referring you to Hebrews 4. I quoted some of the verses for you and Marlin in a recent post. Have you had an opportunity to consider those verses, and the thoughts I expressed concerning them?
Sabbath in the Church is no longer a day. If we have worry or unbelief, or if we try to be accepted by God through our good works, or our faithfulness/obedience to Him... we have broken God's Sabbath, we enter into God's Sabbath when we enter into the rest of faith, as Hebrews 4 says ...he that has entered into his rest has ceased from his own works as God ceased from His... We accept the finished work of Jesus on the cross, that is the fulfilling of the OT type y sabbath. So you have ceased from all good works?
Paul encourages us to keep good works as a testimony to Christ in our lives...
And from obeying God�s laws? IWhere does it say to do this? I am forbidden by the scriptures from walking in the old covenant. I fulfil God's commandments according to the new covenant...
