Paul exposes false application of the law

mailmandan · Nov 14, 2017

Amen! Even when Sabbatarians set out to worship on the Sabbath, they are not "truly keeping the Sabbath." To "keep the Sabbath" as it was required under the Old Covenant in the Old Testament would involve compliance with regulations (Exodus 16:23; 35:3; Leviticus 23:32; Jeremiah 17:21) that were strictly enforced. If Sabbath-day observances are still required, so would the burnt offerings which went along with them (Leviticus 19:30; 23:2-3; Numbers 28:1-10; 29:39-40; I Chronicles. 23:30-31; II Chronicles 31:2-4; Isaiah 1:13).

These were commanded by God to Israel. If the seventh day Sabbath is still in affect, then why don't Sabbatarians seek to obey ALL that the LORD commanded? How can a person say he keeps a certain law when he keeps only part of it?

If the Sabbath day laws were still in effect today, then according to Exodus 31:12-18; 35:1-3; and Numbers 15:32-36, anyone who profaned the Sabbath was put to death and any person who does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from his people. Who is going to enforce that? The Jewish synagogue? The Seventh-day Adventist church? The Government? Since we do not live under a theocratic state as ancient Israel did, no Sabbatarian can live consistently under the Mosaic regulations.

What is it with this perverted Sabbath gospel? Some even go to the extreme that we keep the Sabbath in order to secure salvation (as taught by Ellen White, author and co-founder of the SDA church) which is certainly a "different" gospel and is a disturbing false doctrine to say the least!

Another disturbing teaching by Ellen White is..... those who reject God's memorial of creatorship--the Bible Sabbath--choosing to worship and honor Sunday...will receive the mark of the beast."

Why are you so mad? The SDA attendees are choosing where to come together with Believers.. I’m not well informed with SDA but the Gentlemen that are seem genuine and true believers of Christ from their witness..

The Messiah is the Lord of Sabbath and teaches us about it.. just as He teaches us all things... your acting like their is something wrong with Loving GOD and Remembering to Keep the Sabbath Holy.. all things are of Faith in Christ.

In a nutshell if you may?

From the beastsmark website:

THE MARK OF THE BEAST COMES FROM LEGISLATED LAWS OF ENFORCED SUNDAY WORSHIP AND BREAKING ANY OF GOD"S COMMANDMENTS

RECEIVING THE MARK IN THE FOREHEAD = TO BELIEVE IN SUNDAY WORSHIP AND TO OBEY IT
RECEIVING THE MARK IN THE HAND = TO OBEY (You don't need to believe in Sunday Worship)

God’s seal is His name, character and law written in His people’s hearts and minds. These characteristics are seen in His 7th day Sabbath commandment, which identifies Him as our Creator (Ex 20: 10). God's true followers are identified as those who resist the mark of the beast and keep God's 7th Day Sabbath Holy.

From the nonsda website that exposes the teachings of the SDA church:

Seventh-day Adventists teach that the near the end of time the "mark of the best" of Revelation 14 will be placed upon those who worship on Sunday instead of Saturday. Following are the main points of this doctrine:

1. Adventists identify the union of Roman Catholicism with civil power as the "beast" of Revelation:

"The beast described in Revelation 13:1-10 is the church-state union that dominated the Christian world for many centuries and was described by Paul as the 'man of sin' (2 Thess. 2:2-4) and by Daniel as the 'little horn' (Den. 7:8, 20-25; 8:9-12). The image of the beast represents that form of apostate religion that will be developed when churches having lost the true spirit of the Reformation, shall unite with the state to enforce their teachings on others."

2. The Catholic Church, in the Dark Ages, changed the day of worship from Saturday to Sunday, a pagan day of worship.

3. At the end of time, a conflict will arise between those who worship the beast and his image and those who are the true followers of God. What sets these two groups apart is that one group, the true loyal remnant, keeps Saturday as a holy day, and the other group, the fallen and apostate, keeps Sunday as a holy day:

"One class will advocate a gospel of human devisings and will worship the beast and his image... The other class, in marked contrast, will live by the true gospel and 'keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus' (Rev. 14:9,12)... those who reject God's memorial of creatorship--the Bible Sabbath--choosing to worship and honor Sunday...will receive the mark of the beast."

4. At the end of time, those who keep Sunday as a holy day will seek to destroy those who keep Saturday as a holy day. They will pass laws against the Sabbath-keepers, eventually passing a death-penalty for those who keep Saturday holy.

Back to the op.

Paul made it clear, it is with thanksgiving, love and faith of Gods grace we are empowered to obey Gods commands.

So why is this? Can we come up with some reasons why this is true, and why trying to do it by just following a letter does not work?

can you explain what your mean in words. it is hard to follow all these verses and try to understand what youtrying to get at. All one could do is assume they know what you mean, and if they got it wrong, it would be fruitless to try to discuss, because they do not understand what you saying.

I understand the heart change, and the indwelling spirit, and I agree, But I do not see where most of those passages show this.

Also. I agree, we need to have hearty change and the spirit. But again, How does love and faith empower us to fulfill Gods commands? Why does that work, and not just obeying letters?

I could be wrong but my understanding is that if you do not keep the Sabbath per the 4th commandment and what is required on that day then you are not a genuine believer, an apostate.

Seventh-day Adventists teach that the near the end of time the "mark of the best" of Revelation 14 will be placed upon those who worship on Sunday instead of Saturday. (Nonsda.org)

"Sunday-keeping must be the mark of the beast." ... "The reception of his mark must be something that involves the greatest offense that can be committed against God." (The Marvel of Nations, Elder U. Smith pages 170, 183)
"Here we find the mark of the beast. The very act of changing the Sabbath into Sunday, on the part of the Catholic church, without any authority from the Bible." (Ellen G. White, The Mark of the Beast, page 23)
"The Sunday Sabbath is purely a child of the Papacy. It is the mark of the beast." (Advent Review, Vol. I, No. 2, August, 1850.)
"The change of the Sabbath is the sign or mark of the authority of the Romish church." ... "The keeping of the counterfeit Sabbath is the reception of the mark." (Ellen G. White, Great Controversy, Vol. 4, page 281.
"The mark of the beast is Sunday-keeping. A law will enforce this upon Seventh-day Adventists. They won't obey. Then they will be outlawed, persecuted, and condemned to death! Of all the wild Advent speculations in the prophecies, this deserves to stand among the wildest." (Seventh-day Adventism Renounced" by D.M. Canright, 1914)
"Sunday-keeping is an institution of the first beast, and ALL who submit to obey this institution emphatically worship the first beast and receive his mark, 'the mark of the beast.' .... Those who worship the beast and his image by observing the first day are certainly idolaters, as were the worshippers of the golden calf." (Advent Review Extra, pages 10 and 11, August, 1850)
"the Seventh day, Saturday, must be kept; that keeping Sunday is the mark of the beast; that all should pay tithes; that Mrs. White is inspired as were the writers of the Bible; that the Bible must be interpreted to harmonize with her writings" (Seventh-day Adventism Renounced" by D.M. Canright, 1914) (bible.ca)

That being the case then I am not a beliver.

What does Paul say

Galatians 4:8-12
Fears for the Church
8 But then, indeed, when you did not know God, you served those which by nature are not gods. 9 But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage? 10 You observe days and months and seasons and years. 11 I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain.
12 Brethren, I urge you to become like me, for I became like you. You have not injured me at all.

4:8, 9 The words in bondage and elements refer back to v. 3. Paul was in effect asking the Galatians, “Is it spiritual progress again to be enslaved to weak and beggarly rituals and observances (v. 10)? How could you have known God and turned away to ‘childish’ (v. 3) things?” The Galatians had come to know God through faith in Jesus Christ (see John 17:2, 3). He had adopted them as His own sons, but they were turning back to the law that had once enslaved them.

4:10 The word days likely refers to Sabbaths or special feasts. Months and seasons pertain to longer observances, such as the celebrations between the Passover and the Day of Pentecost. Years probably indicates the Year of Jubilee, the fiftieth year in which slaves were to be freed, family lands returned to their original owners, and the land left fallow (see Lev. 23-25). The Jews commemorated all these feasts in order to please God.

4:12 I urge you: To get beyond the present dilemma, Paul appeals to the Galatians to follow his example (see 1 Cor. 11:1). He had abandoned the ceremonial rules and regulations connected with Judaism so that he could freely preach the gospel of Christ to Jew and Gentile alike in the cities of Galatia. They too should not hinder the gospel of Christ with laws and regulations. (NKJV study notes)

As I said I could be wrong and is open to correction

But to those whose hearts walk after the heart of their disgusting matters and their abominations, I shall recompense their deeds on their own heads,” declares the Master יהוה.”

those in disobedience have a different spirit "according to the ruler of the authority of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience"

He put this heart and Spirit into us, not us doing it.

The intent and spirit of the Law is love;

1 John 5:2-3, "By this we know that we love the children of Yah, when we love Yah and guard His commands. For this is the love for Yah, that we guard His commands, and His commands are not heavy."

again The intent and spirit of the Law is love;

Mattithyah 24:12, "And because iniquity will abound, the love of the many will grow cold."

"iniquity" is: #G458 anomia {an-om-ee'-ah} from G0459
Greek Word Study (Transliteration-Pronunciation Etymology & Grammar)
1) the condition of without law 1a) because ignorant of it1b) because of violating it, 2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness

self explanatory, one can not love Yah and hate his fellow human.

BY guarding/walking in His Commands real love according to what He says is grown and perfect in those doing. Theres are not new Copmmands but from the beginning,

Mat 22:37-40, "Yahshua said to him: You must love YHWH your Father with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. (Deut 6:5) This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. (Lev 19:18) On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."

twisted by man properly explained and walked in by Yahshua.

Thanks I think, This does help. Although It is long and hard to respond to it al.

I will just respond to this one part for now.

You said the intent of the law is love, and used matt 24 as a reference, i disagree here. The reason their is iniquity is there is no love, That has nothing to do with the intent and spirit of the law.

The law can not tell you to love, All it can do is show you how you have failed to love as God demands, Thus are guilty,

The intent and the spirit of the law is to prove our guilt before God. And shut every mouth. Because all have sinned and fall short.

Do you not think though that the law now written on our hearts causes us to walk in the love that God has always wanted us to?

Loving God and loving each other.

Galatians 5:14
14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

Romans 12:9-21
Behave Like a Christian
9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.
10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;
11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;
12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;
13 distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.
17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.
18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
20 Therefore“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;If he is thirsty, give him a drink;For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

When we do the above then we show we love God as well.

Mind you I don’t her verse 20.

I think when we have experienced Gods love, and learn to love as he does. The law becomes real. As we fully understand, it is not about keeping rules. It is about loving others.

If Israel understood this, they would have loved their fellow countryman and the gentiles and wanted them to have what Israel Had. Instead. They misinterpreted the purpose for the law. And in trying to be godly, they proved they did not really know God at all.

Paul exposes false application of the law
