(Richard_oti;52825)
I keep seeing this verse used. Yet, I have never read it with regard to judging what/which day, but rather I have read it as being with regard to how one observes these things.
I dont see how you can read it any other way break it down Let no man therefore judge you (pretty self explanatory) in meat, or in drink, (by what you eat or drink)an example might be we are not to judge someone because they eat porkyet it breaks the health laws, Why because Christ fulfilled these laws, and what one eats or drinks is not a sin. (All things in moderation)will you still get sick if you eat alot of pork? yes, because the law of naturethat Pigs are scavengers without sweat glands to rid their bodies of toxens was never changed. the health laws were not changed, they were fulfilled in Christ(that is he died/paid the price for this sin)or in respect of an holyday, We are not to judge someone because they celebrate a certain holiday. Example: Easter it was never a given as a holiday, Yet we are not to judgeone for celebrating itor of the new moon, or of the sabbath [days]:Again we are not to judge someone over whether or not they follow observe New moons (lunar) or Sabbath. Why the same reason as above Christ fulfilled the Sabbath he never changed it, We are to rest from our Worldly Works, and do Gods work, but judging is Gods to do not man'sIf we break any commandment who's name do we repent in.? Following the Sabbath or not wont get you Salvation only Christ will Christ used the Sabbath and all days to do God's Work, as we should follow his example, are we to be judged lesser because we do Gods work on Thursday or Sunday? If we only do Gods Work only on Saturday are you judged more Worthy?The facts are the New testament never speaks of observing a Sabbath Day except to tell us not to Judge one on whether or not they observe it. However it does tells us the importance of Works and that upon belief and repentance we recieve the holy spirit becoming a new person, wanting to do good works, God's Work The people of the Old testament did not have Christ there fore is not the spirit of Christ now serveing the same purpose as the Sabbath of the Old testament? That is to make one want to do Gods Work everyday we are filled with his spirit?This is what is meant by he fulfilled it, he did not change it,it is keeping our hearts on him(Christ) ,planting seeds, praying, wittnessing ect. We rest from our Wordly things and do Gods Work in the name of Christ because he is the only way.We should do this everyday not on one day, it is because Sabbath is about doing Gods Work we are never to forget it.Does it hurt for one to remember this on the Sabbath(7th day) of course not, But that doesnt change we are never to judge one because they choose not to observe it. Our Works will be judged by God whether they were done on the 7th day or the 1st day
