looking for help reconciling the Sabbath with common observation?

[stilllearning]

I don't need a list because Paul the apostle said that there were no commandments between Adam and Moses in Romans 5. But if you want to prove Paul wrong, then go ahead. Post your list.

Correct. There were two worlds as Peter breaks it down. There is preflood and post flood. In preflood they had the knowledge of good and evil. God does not say they broke the law he says their thought were on evil constantly, concerning the preflood world. Post flood world we have the law. As the hidden things belong to God and the revealed to us. Preflood the hidden things, evil as truth be told they knew good as they walked and talked with God.

Satan tempts by his very nature as there is nothing new under the sun. He tempted man to be God same way he was led away of his own lust. Eat the fruit and know the hidden things that belong to God alone. Postflood God gives the law his revealing of evil and sin. Line by line and precept by precept.

 

[Gideon300]

The SDA church does not teach this.

It would help if you quoted what you are objecting to. I can't find the reference.

SDA teaches that Sunday worship will be the mark of the beast. Dig a bit deeper and it teaches that only those who observe the sabbath make it into God's kingdom (investigative judgement). The doctrine of investigative judgement is false and baseless.

 

[Gideon300]

My advice is accept the Holy day before it is too late.

The Holy sabbath day was made for man.
Not made for man to ignore and reject but to uphold and obey.

Isa 58:13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:

"the holy of the LORD"

Because it is the Lord's holy day you should think twice about ignoring it.

Too late for what exactly?

 

[Gideon300]

Some of The 10 commandments are named in James 2. And everyone agrees that Adultery and Murder and taking God's name in vain is a sin today..

The old covenant moral laws did not change in the new covenant.

God gave the 10 commandments and all are accepted today as sin except the 4th commandment.

Jesus said Mar 2:27-28.
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.

The old covenant failed. The new was set on better promises.. the moral law is the same for both.

What is moral about observing the Sabbath?

I would still note that the specific issue before the council was whether Gentiles were to be brought under the authority of the Mosaic Law.

This is where the Mosaic law is different.

The moral laws are not questionable but things like circumcision and food offered to idols were laws introduced over time to the given to Israel.

If the Sabbath was introduced at creation for all mankind before sin it is not in this Mosaic category.

The Moral law was spoken by God’s own voice and written with His own finger on tables of stone Exodus 31:18. It is a perfect transcript of His character Romans 7:12.

The Law of Moses (Ceremonial) was a law of "carnal commandments" written by Moses in a book and placed in the side of the ark as a witness against the people. Heb 7:16, Deu 31:24-26.

The Moral Laws purpose is to give us the knowledge of sin and show us our need for a Savior Romans 3:20. It demands perfect holiness and remains a "perfect law of liberty" James 1:25
James 2:10-12.

The Ceremonial Law points to the Savior, It consisted of sacrifices, washings, and "meats and drinks" that were "shadows of things to come" Colossians 2:16-17
Hebrews 9:10
These rituals were parables teaching the necessity of the blood of Christ to purge the conscience Hebrews 9:9-14.

When Christ died as the true Lamb of God, the shadow met the substance, and the sacrificial system reached its end.

Christ "blotted out the handwriting of ordinances" and took it out of the way, "nailing it to his cross" Colossians 2:14. This refers to the ritual system of feast days, new moons, and ceremonial sabbaths that were shadows of Christ
Colossians 2:16-17
Ephesians 2:15.

Jesus did not come to destroy the law, but to fulfill it Matthew 5:17-18. By His death, He established the law of Ten Commandments, showing that its claims are so binding that the Son of God Himself had to die to pay the penalty for its transgression Romans 3:31.

compare how the apostles spoke of "the law" in different contexts:

The Ceremonial Law (Mosaic) vs the
The Moral Law (God's)
A "yoke" that was hard to bear Acts 15:10. "Holy, and just, and good" Romans 7:12.

"Made nothing perfect" Hebrews 7:19.
A "perfect law of liberty" James 1:25.



The Bible teaches that while the ceremonial law (the "handwriting of ordinances") was nailed to the cross, God’s moral law (the Ten Commandments) remains the eternal standard of righteousness.

The two laws serve different functions in the plan of salvation:

The Moral Law points out sin: Its purpose is to give us the knowledge of sin and show us our need for a Savior Romans 3:20. It demands perfect holiness and remains a "perfect law of liberty"

However, we are still called to honor the moral law as a rule of life. We do not keep it to be saved, but because we are saved, we serve in "newness of spirit" Romans 7:6. True faith does not make void the law; it establishes it in our hearts Romans 3:31
Hebrews 10:16

 

[NightTwister]

God started day 1 in Gen 1:5 and a day of rest on the 7th day (Gen 2:1-3).
Were there any other days before that 1st day?

Did God's people lose track of which day was the 7th day of the week?
If they did God set it straight with the 4th commandment at Mt. Sinai.

Did the Jews lose track of which day it was?
If they had Jesus would have set that straight.

Which day of the week was Jesus raised from the dead?
Are you claiming this was not on a Sunday?
If Sunday is the 1st day of the week then obviously Saturday is the 7th day of the week.

All of Europe starts their week on Monday, so Sunday is the 7th day. Is Sunday Sabbath acceptable there?

What is moral about observing the Sabbath?

Observing the seventh-day Sabbath is a moral obligation because it is a matter of rendering to God that which is rightfully His and honoring our relationship with the Creator. The fourth commandment is not a requirement for man to give something of his own to God, but rather an injunction not to appropriate to himself the specific time God has reserved for His own worship.

The Sabbath is unique among the Ten Commandments because it is written upon the very front of nature, explaining how our world came into existence and pointing us to the true God. Without the Sabbath and the facts it commemorates, we could not distinguish the Creator from false gods.

A Sign of Loyalty: It serves as a perpetual sign between God and His people, (spiritual Israelites) signifying that He is the Lord who sanctifies them. Ezekiel 20:12.

It was established at the beginning of human history, before sin entered the world, making it an original moral duty for the entire human race Genesis 2:1-3.

The Sabbath grows out of man's moral, mental, and physical needs, acting as the link that unites humanity to the Creator and to one another.

By keeping the Sabbath, we acknowledge that we owe our existence and every blessing to God, which involves an obligation to love Him supremely.

It reminds us that God made our fellow creatures as well as ourselves, reinforcing the duty to love our neighbor as ourselves.

It lies at the foundation of all moral law; indeed, to appropriate God's rest-day to ourselves is to rob God.

The Ceremonial sabbaths were "shadows" pointing forward to redemption, whereas the seventh-day Sabbath is a "memorial" pointing back to creation. Colossians 2:16-17

There's no proof a cyclical Sabbath was introduced at creation. There's only proof a single Sabbath day was introduced.

Gen 2:2-3
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

Then read

Exo 20:8-11
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

What is the reason for this command.

Because God blessed the seventh day.

This cycle was instituted by God Himself through a specific process of working for six days and resting on the seventh, which measured off the first weekly period as a pattern for all successive weeks until the end of time. We still have a seven day cycle today.

Unlike the day, month, or year, the week is not a natural measure of time derived from the movements of the heavenly bodies; it owes its existence entirely to the appointment of the Sabbath.

It is not an easy number to fit into the cycles we have.
The week exists solely because of the Sabbath institution; without the act of Jehovah setting apart the seventh day, such a division of time would never have existed.

The measurement of time by weeks of seven days is a well-attested historical fact found among the most ancient nations, proving its antiquity and divine origin.

The Patriarchs: Long before the law was given at Sinai, the patriarchs reckoned time by weeks and sevens of days.
Noah observed this cycle when sending out the dove from the ark in seven-day intervals Genesis 8:10, 12.

During the time of Jacob, the "week" was a recognized period of seven days used for marriage festivities. Genesis 29:27-28.

Before reaching Sinai, God pointed out the true weekly cycle through the miracle of the manna. For forty years, He sent a double portion on the sixth day and none on the seventh, demonstrating that the seventh day was a definitely recurring day in a fixed cycle. Exo 16:22-26.

To sanctify a day means to set it aside for holy use..

I don't know why you persist with your Sabbath obsession. It's pointless with me. I know the truth. God instituted circumcision before Sinai. The patriarchs offered sacrifices on physical altars. Why don't you follow those commandments still?

The Law is the shadow. I live in the light. You should try it sometime. You might like it.

For Jesus to write write it in your heart.

Oh you are funny. You should take up comedy. I learned from the day I was born again that I did not need to observe the Sabbath. First, I had no idea that such a command existed. Second, I was in the military. Those in charge required me to work day or night, any day of the week, while the ship was at sea. If something broke, I had to fix it. It was essential to the role of the ship.

Lord Jesus has had 54 years to write it on my heart. I long ago realised that there is a new law, the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patient endurance, self control, goodness, gentleness, kindness and faithfulness. I see no "and Sabbath observance" in that list.

 

[Churchgoer]

Where is day 14? You won't find it. The cyclical Sabbath started with the Mosaic Law.

Good point.
From scripture it seems started manna day 1.
Noah did couple 7 days count , which kind of prove just count randomly by 7.
Another reference is sabbath year, it is 7th year, but not a cycle from creation year. So just count year 1 from personal life situations.

Possible when apostles gathered in day 1, then they just repeat that, every 7 days. Day 1 is the day Jesus resurrection, and they were excited to tell followers about the great news.

I understand the distinction you're making between the moral law and the ceremonial law.
However, my difficulty is that the New Testament writers themselves do not consistently make that precise division in the way you are presenting it.
You are constructing a framework in which the Sabbath belongs to the eternal moral law, while the feast days and ceremonial sabbaths belong to the ceremonial law.
The question is whether the apostles explicitly make that distinction when they discuss the Sabbath?

Did you read the difference between the old and new covenants? Posts 1209, 1211, 1213, page 61.

"I know the truth" you say....

I say Jesus is the truth..

I say because I can't obey the moral law myself I need to allow Jesus to write them on my heart and transform my thinking and my actions.

Allowing Jesus to do this requires a heart that is not set in concrete..

You know the truth so Jesus can not change or give you light.

Keeping the law is not an act we do to earn salvation... it is an act Jesus does in us to transform us into His image.

Many in Jesus's day claimed to have the truth and the light of God but did not allow their hearts to be moved by the Holy Spirit.

Heb 13:20-21
20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
