the Baptist the Law?

Question

In the moral law which are the 10 commandments we are given the Law of God in this law we have been told that we are to observe the sabbath of GOD. Which is still saturday as any good jewish lad can tell you. From the new testiment if you have broken one of the laws you have broken all the law. Baptist churchs in America have services on Sunday and work on Satruday. Now this is Sin according to the bible! Are the baptist accountable to Gods Law? Does God hold them accountable who sin? What are the affects of sin on a ministry that does not repent and change there ways?

Answer 1

There are an increasing number of individual Baptist churches open on Sabbath for rest and worship.

Answer 2

ES makes a number of good points, but he fails to mention the fact that the Catholic Church, the same church that Jesus personally founded, and that was empowered by the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, is the only Christian organization that was given authority by Christ to bind and loose, both on heaven and on earth, without limitation or qualification.

The Catholic Church is the original church, and not some strange variation as ES and others falsely claim.

As such, and for many very practical reasons, the church was empowered by Christ to do whatever is necessary for the common good, until Christ returns at the end of the age.

There is no other official new covenant faith authority.

I exclude the Bible as well, since Jesus founded a church ... not a Bible, and it is and always has been, the church which testifies to the God inspired, inerrant nature of scripture. Not the other way around.

Jesus fulfilled all the old laws, all that was written by the prophets, and all that was written about him in the psalms, when he died and rose again. Then he set aside ALL the old law, establishing the grace empowered church in its' place.

The church readopted and readapted the commandments, solely by it's own God-given authority, to the new realities of the new covenant.

The old Saturday sabbath of the Jews plays no part in the new covenant church.

On this, the church has ruled authoratively, and most of the Christian world agrees.

Those who don't should go back and read their scripture again, and much more closely.

Answer 3

The law of Sabbath was made for the Israelites under the Mosaic Law, it is time devoted for Godly activities...when Jesus came, we do not observe it anymore since Christians are not under the Mosaic law, we are ordered to do good on Sabbath as any other day.

Jesus said: : “My Father has kept working until now, and I keep working.” (John 5:17) Jesus was not performing secular work in order to enrich himself. Rather, he was doing the will of God. Just as the Levites were allowed to continue their sacred service on the Sabbath, Jesus could rightfully carry out his God-assigned duties as the Messiah without violating God’s Law.—Matthew 12:5.

Answer 4

Luke 13:10-17
10On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues, 11and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. 12When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, "Woman, you are set free from your infirmity." 13Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God.
14Indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, the synagogue ruler said to the people, "There are six days for work. So come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath."

15The Lord answered him, "You hypocrites! Doesn't each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it out to give it water? 16Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day from what bound her?"

17When he said this, all his opponents were humiliated, but the people were delighted with all the wonderful things he was doing.

the days of the week and the calendar are worldly manmade creations. which day is the sabbath can be up for interpretation. i think its ignorant to ask this question. it is the act of observance that is the key issue, which day of the week is irrelevant.

Answer 5

There has been so much said about the law of the Old Testament, There is many verses I can use to show that we are NOT under the law of the Old Testament, But I will only use ONE. Romans 10:4For Christ is the what? For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth.

Answer 6

Freedom from Sabbath-keeping

Some today insist that Christians must keep the Sabbath day, that those who worship on the first day of the week (Sunday) are in great error. They reason that "Sun-day" comes from the pagan worship of the Sun god, that Jesus and Paul kept the Sabbath day as an example for us to follow, and that the Roman Catholic church is responsible for the change in the day of worship. Those who continue to worship on Sunday will receive the mark of the beast.

Let’s briefly look at these arguments. First, nowhere does the Fourth Commandment say that Christians are to worship on the Sabbath. It commands that we rest on that day: "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shall you labor, and do all your work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God: in it you shall not do any work . . . For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it" (Exodus 20:8–11). Sabbath-keepers worship on Saturday. However, the word "Satur-day" comes from the Latin for "Saturn’s day," a pagan day of worship of the planet Saturn (astrology).

If a Christian’s salvation depends upon his keeping a certain day, surely God would have told us. At one point, the apostles gathered specifically to discuss the relationship of believers to the Law of Moses. Acts 15:5–11, 24–29 was God’s opportunity to make His will clear to His children. All He had to do to save millions from damnation was say, "Remember to keep the Sabbath holy," and millions of Christ-centered, God-loving, Bible-believing Christians would have gladly kept it. Instead, the only commands the apostles gave were to "abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication."

There isn’t even one command in the New Testament for Christians to keep the Sabbath holy. In fact, we are told not to let others judge us regarding Sabbaths (Colossian 2:16), and that man was not made for the Sabbath, but the Sabbath for man (Mark 2:27). The Sabbath was given as a sign to Israel (Exodus 31:13–17); nowhere is it given as a sign to the Church. Thousands of years after the Commandment was given we can still see the sign that separates Israel from the world—they continue to keep the Sabbath holy.

The apostles came together on the first day of the week to break bread (Acts 20:7). The collection was taken on the first day of the week (1 Corinthians 16:2). When do Sabbath-keepers gather together to break bread or take up the collection? It’s not on the same day as the early Church. They tell us that the Roman Catholic church changed their day of worship from Saturday to Sunday, but what has that got to do with the disciples keeping the first day of the week? That was the Roman Catholic church in the early centuries, not the Church of the Book of Acts.

Romans 14:5–10 tells us that one man esteems one day of the week above another; another esteems every day alike. Then Scripture tells us that everyone should be fully persuaded in his own mind. We are not to judge each other regarding the day on which we worship.

Jesus did keep the Sabbath. He had to keep the whole Law to be the perfect sacrifice. The Bible makes it clear that the Law has been satisfied in Christ. The reason Paul went to the synagogue each Sabbath wasn’t to keep the Law; that would have been contrary to everything he taught about being saved by grace alone (Ephesians 2:8,9). It was so he could preach the gospel to the Jews, as evident in the Book of Acts. Paul had an incredible evangelistic zeal for Israel to be saved (Romans 10:1). To the Jew he became as a Jew, that he might win the Jews (1 Corinthians 9:19,20). That meant he went to where they gathered on the day they gathered.

D. L. Moody said, "The Law can only chase a man to Calvary, no further." Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law so we are no longer in bondage to it. If we try to keep one part of the Law (even out of love for God), we are obligated to keep the whole Law (Galatians 3:10)—all 613 precepts. If those who insist on keeping the Sabbath were as zealous about the salvation of the lost as they are about other Christians keeping the Sabbath, we would see revival.
