In other words to work on the Sabbath day when we are doing good. He was actually changing the Sabbath law.
Actually Jesus did not come to teach us how to keep the Sabbath. Where does He teach that we are to observe it? He took the commandments (which were binding on the Jews) and eased the fourth commandment of the Law. He then pointed out that He was Lord of the Sabbath and therefore had the right to do so.
Yep. looks like a lot of scripture that seems to disagree with your understanding of God's Word and we have not even started talking about all the scripture in the NT that is talking about the 10 commandments which includes the 4th.
James NOWHERE mentions the ten commandments, nor the law of the Sabbath day. It is you who is deceiving yourself. He mentions specifically the moral commandments.
James 2
8, If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
9, But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
10, For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
11, For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
12, So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
The only mention of the Sabbath is in Mark 2.27 when Jesus was under the Law. You would have been more honest to say that God made the creation for all mankind. and was therefore able to give it a new meaning,
Mark 2
27, And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
28, Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
or
Matthew 12
8, For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
Sin is lawlessness? Where is the Sabbath mentioned?
James 2
11, For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a TRANSGRESSOR OF GOD'S LAW.
Seems James is talking about breaking God's Ten commandments.........
Romans 7
7, What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I HAD NOT KNOWN SIN BUT BY THE LAW; for I had not known lust, except the law had said, THOU SHALT NOT COVET.
Well seems like Paul agrees with James that SIN is breaking God's 10 commandments......
1 John 3
4, Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF GOD'S LAW.
Yep there it is again seems like James, Paul and John all agree what SIN is.....
Where is the Sabbath mentioned? It is in fact noticeably absent, even in the teaching of Jesus.
(Matt 12:1-8; 10-12; 24:20; Mark 3:1-5; Luke 6:1-10; 13:14-16; 14:1-5; John 7:22-23; 9:14; Mark 1:21; Mark 6:2; Luke 4:16; 31; Luke 14:1; 23:56Hebrews 1:2; John 1:1-3; 14; Ephesians 3:9; Colossians 1:16-17; Mark 2:27Mark 2:28Hebrews 4James 2:8-121 John 3:4Rev 14:12; Rev 22:14; Eze 20:20Matt 12:1-8; 10-12; 24:20; Mark 3:1-5; Luke 6:1-10; 13:14-16; 14:1-5; John 7:22-23; 9:14; Mark 1:21; Mark 6:2; Luke 4:16; 31; Luke 14:1; 23:56; John 2:6; Matt 16:24; 1 Cor 11:1; Eph 5:1-21; Pet 2:20-22Acts 13:14; 13:27; 13:44; 15:21; 16:13; 17:2; 18:4; Rev 1:10)
you mean they made use of the Sabbath in their preaching? The Lord's day in Revelation 1.10 was not the Sabbath. Note again Acts 20.7 which demonstrates that they observed the first day,
What is the Lord's Day?
Matthew 12
8, For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
Or right it's not Sunday, Jesus says the Lord's Day is the Sabbath day.
Only God's Word is true and we should follow it over the teachings of man that break the commandments of God....
God's 4th commandment is one of the ten (Exodus 20:8-11) If we knowingly break it when God asks us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (James 2:8-12). If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness we are in danger of the Judgement (Hebrews 10:26-27)
Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has lead 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)
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?
Only the BELIEVERS and FOLLOWERS of God's Word will have the right to ENTER into God's Kingdom because they FOLLOW him who loves all because they have FAITH that works by LOVE and LOVE is the FULFILLING of GOD's LAW in those who through FAITH WALK as he walked in the SPIRIT and not in the FLESH.....
REVELATION 22
14, Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.15, For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whore mongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
May God bless you as you seek him through His Word
