so if Jesus....?

Question

If Jesus followed the sabbath why dont we ?
what do people mean when he said he fulfill the law first of all to follow the sabbath is not a law is a commandment so if you dont follow the sabbath you are ok with killing and the rest of the 10 commandments right?
so why would Jesus take away the commandments that he didnt he just took away the law that made other people hurt other people so why not follow the sabbath and yes i know we should worship God everyday i know that but then why would we want to do a rest day cause that day is to not do anything but worship him and help does in need like Jesus did. Jesus rose on sunday and why didnt he rose on saturday ? because it was the day to worship God so why do christians not follow all 10 commandment like it is to say in the bible even in the new testament it says that, in the revelation and most of the books it says that so christians why follow all 10 commandmets except the sabbath ?

Answer 1

"'And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men*--the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do.' He said to them, 'All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.'" (Mark 7:7 - 8 NKJV)

It is interesting because God did command a particular day and did not allow people to keep any day they wanted. While in the wilderness after fleeing Egypt, the Hebrews were sent manna from Heaven. This manna fell six days a week but did not fall on the Sabbath. God knew what day the Sabbath was, the Hebrews knew it, and the Jewish people of today still know it. They keep the same day today that their ancestors did when God sent the manna.

"On the sixth day the people gathered twice as much food -- four quarts for every person. When all the leaders of the community came and told this to Moses, he said to them, "This is what the Lord commanded, because tomorrow is the Sabbath, the Lord's holy day of rest. Bake what you want to bake, and boil what you want to boil today. Save the rest of the food until tomorrow morning." So the people saved it until the next morning, as Moses had commanded, and none of it began to stink or have worms in it. Moses told the people, "Eat the food you gathered yesterday. Today is a Sabbath, the Lord's day of rest; you will not find any out in the field today. You should gather the food for six days, but the seventh day is a Sabbath day. On that day there will not be any food on the ground." On the seventh day some of the people went out to gather food, but they couldn't find any. Then the Lord said to Moses, "How long will you people refuse to obey my commands and teachings? Look, the Lord has made the Sabbath a day of rest for you. So on the sixth day he will give you enough food for two days, but on the seventh day each of you must stay where you are. Do not go anywhere." So the people rested on the seventh day. The people of Israel called the food manna. It was like small white seeds and tasted like wafers made with honey." (Exodus 16:22 - 31 NCV)

You can search the New Testament, and even the entire Bible for that matter, and you will not find one place that the Sabbath law has been revoked. What you will find is that the apostles and early church did keep the Sabbath, and Jesus expected His followers to be keeping the Sabbath some 60 years after His death.

"At that time, how terrible it will be for women who are pregnant or have nursing babies! Pray that it will not be winter or a Sabbath day when these things happen and you have to run away, because at that time there will be much trouble. There will be more trouble than there has ever been since the beginning of the world until now, and nothing as bad will ever happen again." (Matthew 24:19 - 21 NCV)

"They continued their trip from Perga and went to Antioch, a city in Pisidia. On the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down." (Acts 13:14 NCV)

"While Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people asked them to tell them more about these things on the next Sabbath." (Acts 13:42 NCV)

"On the next Sabbath day, almost everyone in the city came to hear the word of the Lord." (Acts 13:44 NCV)

"On the Sabbath day we went outside the city gate to the river where we thought we would find a special place for prayer. Some women had gathered there, so we sat down and talked with them." (Acts 16:13 NCV) (This is most interesting because Paul kept the Sabbath even when there was not a group of Jews to keep it with or a church to keep it in. He was in Philippi, and there were very few Jews there)

"Paul went into the synagogue as he always did, and on each Sabbath day for three weeks, he talked with the Jews about the Scriptures." (Acts 17:2 NCV)

"Every Sabbath day he talked with the Jews and Greeks in the synagogue, trying to persuade them to believe in Jesus." (Acts 18:4 NCV)

Check the Ten Commandments; they tell us the reason we should keep the Sabbath.

"The reason is that in six days the Lord made everything -- the sky, the earth, the sea, and everything in them. On the seventh day he rested. So the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy." (Exodus 20:11)

That reason still stands today. The Sabbath has nothing to do with the nation of Israel but everything to do with creation. God did not command the Sabbath because he wanted the Israelites to be different; He commanded it because He created it in the first week. God tries to give us a gift, and we say that it is a burden and we do not want it.

As for the Lord's Day, It is interesting to see what the Bible says about the Lord's day.

"Eat the food you gathered yesterday. Today is a Sabbath, the Lord's day of rest;" (Exodus 16:23 NCV)

"This is what the Lord commanded, because tomorrow is the Sabbath, the Lord's holy day of rest." (Exodus 16:25 NCV)

"but the seventh day is a day of rest to honor the Lord your God." (Exodus 20:10 NCV)

"So the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath day" (Matthew 12:8 NCV)

"So then, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath day." (Mark 2:28 NCV)

"Then Jesus said to the Pharisees, 'The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath day.'" (Luke 6:6 NCV)

Answer 2

It is a deception that people should believe that we shouldn't have to keep the commandments. We are still suppose to keep the commandments the best we can. I worship on Saturday that is the Sabbath day. Sunday is the day of worship for the Sun God . During the times of Constantine the Christians were forced to hold service on Sunday. Through the years, Christians became so accustomed to having Church on Sundays that This just became the Sabbath to everyone. Total Deception. Worshiping on Sunday is acknowledging Satan not God.

Answer 3

Jesus kept the Sabbath. He even kept the sabbath after he dead. The Sunday sabbath was changed way back in the "Dark ages" The Pope did it. And all the people went along with it. They didn't know any better.

Answer 4

1. Sabbath was originally Saturday. The Council of Nicea (323 AD) Changed it to Sunday so that they could convert more pagans (and distance themselves from the Jews)
2. If you have faith in the Bible, you should observe Sabbath on Sunday.
3. Some Christians only give lip service. God knows.
4. I do not go to church on Sunday or Saturday (unless invited by friends). I observe at home with my family. I have my own ways (and as it says, whereever three are gathered in His name, His church resides).

Answer 5

Because Jesus Himself said obey the commandments . John 14:15-24

Answer 6

Exactly which day of the week is celebrated as the Sabbath is totally immaterial! The Sabbath was originally to be observed one day each week solely to relieve men from the burden of laboring every single day. It was seen as a remembrance of God resting on the last day of creation.

Christians, well most of them anyway, celebrate this day on Sunday as a remembrance that it was on the first day of the week that Christ rose from the dead. A fitting symbol, that, as His resurrection certainly began a new time for all who believe. First fruits of salvation celebrated on the first day of the week. It don't hardly get more apropos than that!

As for the Commandments; they are God's Laws. Intended to help man become more fully that which God intended him to be, ie, His child rather than His chattel, these laws are NOT remitted because of Christ's sacrifice.

And a small aside, dear. It would probably help you to write out your thoughts BEFORE you type them in here, then carefully peruse them for clarity of expression and remove all redundancies at the same time. Makes things a lot easier for all us potential answerers, doncha know?

Answer 7

Most of Christendom believe that the "keeping the Sabbath" pertains to going to church on Sunday, where they compare clothing.

Sabbath is a Jewish day, it has NEVER been related to Christianity.

Then again, some of your "Christians" are blindly following anything a evangelist says in the first place.

Answer 8

Christians do obey the sabbath, but on Sunday, not Saturday.

Answer 9

If you ask that then why don't you ask why Christian aren't Jewish.
After all that's what Jesus was trying to do, make Jewish people follow the old testament.

Answer 10

Do not look for any organized relgion's doctrine to be entirely
self-consistant.

That's not what religion is for.

Religion offers spiritual guidance, gives you a sense of community
and a common sense of purpose.

None of the big religions are entirely free of inconsistancies.
