What the poster in post #330 is saying ( as can be seen by going to the Sabbath thread ) is that if Christians do not follow the Sabbath as outlined in the Old Testament which is seen in the law of Moses from Friday night until Saturday - then these Christians are sinning and dis-obeying God.
( oddly enough - they break the very law that they try to put others back under by not stoning those people that don't keep the Sabbath as outlined in the law. - go figure eh? .......)
The post is "code" for us Christians not following the law of Moses which has the 10 commandments in it which to them is the "Keep the Sabbath" commandment in it.
This is a Judaizing spirit which is perverting the gospel of the grace of God in Christ.
People are free in Christ to observe any day or festivals as they wish as they are mere shadows of the real thing which is Christ Himself.
Colossians 2:16-17 (NASB)
[SUP]
16 [/SUP]
Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day—
[SUP]
17 [/SUP]
things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.
To those that wish to observe the Sabbath as in from Friday night to Saturday that know that Christ alone is the real Sabbath rest and that the Old Covenant way of observing it is a type or shadow of the real thing which is Christ Himself - to those - I say "happy Sabbath".
To those that are seduced and deceived by the Judaizing spirit that say Christians are sinning and dis-obeying God if they don't follow the Old Covenant way of observing the Sabbath - to those I boldly proclaim Christ so that the truth of the gospel would remain with the saints just like Paul said to the Galatians.
Galatians 2:5 (NASB)
[SUP]5 [/SUP] But we did not yield in subjection to them for even an hour, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.
