Does the Forth Commandment still count? Or just the other nine?

Answer 1

Christ said, "I did not come to do away with the law, but to fullfil it". They all still count.

Answer 2

It counts in that it was fulfilled by Christ. So we no longer have to "keep the Sabbath holy" by abstaining from work.

It is the only of the 10 Commandments that is not mentioned as needing to be followed or acknowledged in the New Testament. And when I say needing to be followed, I don't mean for righteousness because no one can be made righteous by following the Law. But that we as Christians follow them and keep them out of gratitude for what Christ has done for us.

This is also not an excuse to "forsake the gathering or ourselves together". We are encourged through the Bible to fellowship and spend time with other Christians. And though it is not a requirement, why would someone who is a Christian not want to gather with others and worship God?

Colossians 2:15-17 (New King James Version)
Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ.

Christ is our Sabbath rest

Answer 3

I believe it does still count. For Gentiles the Lord's Day is one day set aside every week to rest and focus on God through worship, prayer, and fellowship with other believers. The Old Testament is very specific about the Sabbath day in regards to the Jewish nation - Exodus 31:16 "Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant. 17It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’" It seems really clear here that God wants Israel to observe the seventh day, the Sabbath as the Lord's Day.

Answer 4

All the Commandments still count. I wonder about the Sabbath Day, though.

Answer 5

Fourth Commandment is not even the same in different faiths. Until there is agreement as to which day is the 7th day, it is less relevant. Also, it is more important to take a day and reflect, pray (whatever floats your boat). Does it really matter if its an official day or is the concept more important.

The following shows you the order. Since the 4th commandment is the same in Protestant and Jewish Faiths that is the one I used.

Answer 6

Why wouldnt it count? All the commandments count!

Answer 7

matthew 22:36-40
Jesus said there were two we needed to obey..they encompass the whole law and every thing the prophets told us. And they sum up the 10 commandments into 1 word. ...LOVE

Answer 8

The fourth commandment:

" Honour thy father and thy mother,
That thou mayest be longlived upon the land
which the Lord thy God will give thee."

While it is true that your parents may not be able to legally stone you anymore for disobeying, it is still a very good idea to honor them. They are responsible for your wellbeing, keeping you fed, and protecting you from the dangers the world has to offer.

Answer 9

In case you don't know the Catholics and Protestants number them differently.

The fourth commandment of the Decalogue is that parents must be
honored.
This commandment was given because honor to parents represented
and thus signified love to the Lord and love toward the church, for “father”
in the heavenly sense, that is, the Heavenly Father, is the Lord; and “mother”
in the heavenly sense, that is, the heavenly mother, is the church; “honor”
signifies good of love; and “length of days,” which such will have, signifies
the happiness of eternal life. So is this commandment understood in heaven,
where no father but the Lord is known, and no mother but the kingdom of
the Lord, which is also the church. For the Lord gives life from Himself, and
through the church He gives nourishment. That in the heavenly sense no
father in the world can be meant, and indeed, when man is in a heavenly
idea, can be mentioned, the Lord teaches in Matthew:

“Call no man your father on earth; for one is your Father who is in
the heavens” (xxiii. 9).

That “Father” signifies the Lord in relation to Divine good may be seen in
the Apocalypse Explained (n. 32, 200, 254, 297). That “mother” signifies
the Lord’s kingdom, the church, and Divine truth, may be seen in the Arcana
Coelestia (n. 289, 2691, 2717, 3703, 5581, 8897); that “length of days”
signifies the happiness of eternal life (n. 8898); and the “honor” signifies
good of love (n. 8897), and Apocalypse Explained (n. 228, 345). All this
makes clear that the third and fourth commandments involve arcana relating
to the Lord, namely, acknowledgment and confession of His Divine, and
worship of Him from good of love. (A.E., n. 966.)

Answer 10

In my opinion, they all count. They are what God told us we need to do in order to find our way into heaven, so, yes, they all still do count, because it is a crime and a sin to not follow, or go against any of them. Peace.

Answer 11

Whatever floats your boat. Like any law you break, you get away with it until you get caught. If you believe in the first commandment, then...
