(kriss;13284)
It isn't even applicable sense the bible doesn't say he changed it he became it(our Sabbath)rest.
I agree, Jesus is our sabbath rest. But how does Jesus symbolically becoming our sabbath rest cancelled the actual day of convocation? Jesus also is the symbolic head of the nation of Israel, or more proper Israel itself, yet I wasn't born an Israelite.I can only be an Israelite by adoption. Hence, the scripture itself plainly states that the the stranger (gentiles) will join themselves to the Lord.Isaiah 56:2Blessed is
the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing anyIsaiah 56:6Also
the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
Which is why the Jews still observe it they never accepted Christ( our Sabbath) so they must still observe the day we are not subject to it because Christ is our Sabbath.
What about Messianic Jews? They accept Jesus as the Messiah, yet keep all their traditions, including the sabbath, the 4th Commandment.
This is why its ok to worship on Sunday or any other day as the Sabbath for the Christian has nothing to do with a day of the week.
If that was the case it seemingly would be very easy to find such a commandment in scripture. But sadly, for you, it is not.The 4th commandment says, "Remember....." but you are suggesting it is o.k. for a Christian to 'forget.' Certainly, you would do well to have an actual verse that says to forget the 4th commandment.Or are they really just the 10 suggestions?
It is also why it is mentioned once in the new testament why Paul said it wasn't for him.
Paul never said such a thing, and routetinely kept the sabbath and preached on it. (Acts 13, 14, 17, 18) At his trial before the sandehdrin he was not accused of breaking any laws that could have led to death and was instead charged for preaching Jesus. See Acts 22 and 23.
The christians sabbath(rest) is our Lord and Savoir Jesus Christ.
Hebrews is clear.Hebrews 4:9There remaineth therefore a
rest to the people of God.Rest = Sabbatimos or "a keeping of the sabbath."
