This "Corban" argument is a fairly new Sabbath objection tool that I've only seen from one other member here on CyB, so I guess it'll be making the rounds.
The corban use is not a Sabbath objection tool, but is the exception tool hypocritically used by some sabbath keepers today.
It's not necessary to make sabbath pay offering to their ministers, but just makes it all the more hypocritical for WORKING on their sabbath day.
There is no sabbath keeper on earth today, that can be soldiers in a state or national military. They can't be emergency workers and responders, doctors, law enforcers, nor even public utility employees working during power outages.
If you are a sabbath keeper as by law, then you must abstain from any such employment, that will or even
may require you to work on your sabbath day, whatever day you have concluded is a lawful sabbath.
I doubt a sabbath law-keeper could even get first hired onto any 7-day-week store, fast food, or restaurant...To keep a sabbath by law, someone would have to live like an OT child of Israel: Farmer.
It's not very creative and even less convincing since it likens people effectively stealing from their parents and merely claiming it has been given to the church to taking earnings made from Christ's work of mercy on the Sabbath and actually giving it as an offering to God.
So, we see now how the corban exception for WORKING on the Sabbath, is ministered to the hypocrites. The problem is, that it's so blatantly phony, that it insults normal intelligence. Only someone wanting to believe the lie, would accept it as justification for WORKING on their sabbath day
for pay.
Let's break this down with honest eyes:
The corban tool for exception is not 'stealing money', but covering guilt by offing it to the ministers. (And no doubt the ministers came up with it. Or at the very least gladly consent.)
Mercy
work for pay is called 'a job'. An adventure maybe, but still work for pay. For a true sabbath keeper of old, this would be blaspheming the sabbath. It's trying to turn
working for pay into a 'work of charity'. Is that what politicians and soldiers and police are doing? Mercy work? Right. (Although, killing the bad guys is good for the good guys)
Corban is not an offering to God, nor even unto the Lord. Jesus calls it hypocrisy. And the ministers gain by it.
The hypocrisy is working on the day you call your sabbath. If I were a sabbath keeper by law, then I would either refuse any work, that could possibly require it on my sabbath day. The only place I'd work that may require it, is where I won't get paid that day. The problem is that gvt pay can't even be rejected. They wouldn't know how. You can't even give it back to the gvt.
I certainly wouldn't enrich the ministers under the hypocrisy of
"It is corban."
Evil surmising and false witness/gossip
What gossip? You're the one bearing witness to you sabbath keepers breaking your sabbaths, that you with feigned lips call 'mercy work'.
Others have borne witness to hypocritically making their pay corban, who with equally feigned lips say goes 'to God'.
The false witnesses here are sabbath keepers, that say they are keeping it by law as in the days of old.
What you maliciously call evil surmising, is your sabbath being exposed for what it is: Your own sabbath made by your own law.
This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
NT law of man to keep a sabbath is a self-righteous Christian fable, that is also used to accuse other Christians of breaking their law, that they themselves do not keep.
Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
In this case the law is dispensed by false angels.
