ARE CHRISTIANS under the sabbath law exodus 35:1-3?I PRAY WE ARE NOT?

Question

35 Later Moses called the entire assembly of the sons of Israel together and said to them: “These are the words that Jehovah has commanded, to do them: 2 Six days may work be done, but on the seventh day it will become something holy to YOU, a sabbath of complete rest to Jehovah. Anybody doing work on it will be put to DEATH. 3 YOU must not light a fire in any of YOUR dwelling places on the sabbath day.”

NOT EVEN LIGHTING A FIRE.PUNISHABLE BY DEATH

Answer 1

Sabbath keeping was part of the Mosaic Law. God used Christ to bring that law covenant to an end. Our having a righteous standing with God depends on faith in Christ, not on keeping a weekly sabbath.

Answer 2

Exd 35:1 ¶ And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These [are] the words which the LORD hath commanded, that [ye] should do them.

Exd 35:2 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.

Exd 35:3 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.

Answer 3

Christians aren't under the sabbath law because they aren't in the covenant with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Christians have a covenant with the Church, under the blood of Christ. So they keep Sunday as their holy day.

So, no, Christians are not under convenant to observe God's Sabbath.

Answer 4

Thanks for doing much to educate people regarding God's Law. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I
simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an
abomination.
End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other
specific laws & how to follow them:

When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing
odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor
is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in
Exodus 21:7. In
this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is menstrually
unclean - Lev.15:19- 24. The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking,
but most women take offense.

Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female,
provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims
that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I
own Canadians?

I have a coworker who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly
states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?

A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination -
Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can
you settle this?

Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have
a defect in
my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision
have to be
20/20, or is there wiggle room here?

Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair
around their
temples, though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should
they die?

I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean,
but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

My Bro has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different
crops in the
same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two
different kinds of
thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme
a lot. Is
it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town
together to stone them? - Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at
a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws?
(Lev. 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can
help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and
unchanging.

Answer 5

Actually nerd, the Sabbath is 25 hours. Sundown Friday to when three stars appear in the sky Saturday night.

A real Jew would know that.

Answer 6

"Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit. And look! the curtain of the sanctuary was rent in two, from top to bottom, and the earth quaked, and the rockmasses were split, ... " -- Matthew 27:50,51

"The inspired Christian writings state that “Christ is the end of the Law” (Ro 10:4), which results in Christians’ being “discharged from the Law.” -- Romans 7:6

"The Scriptures plainly state that Christ’s sacrifice “abolished . . . the Law of commandments consisting in decrees” and that God “blotted out the handwritten document against us, which consisted of decrees . . . and He has taken it out of the way by nailing it to the torture stake.” It was the complete Mosaic Law that was “abolished,” “blotted out,” taken “out of the way.” (Eph 2:13-15; Col 2:13, 14) Consequently, the whole system of Sabbaths, be they days or years, was brought to its end with the rest of the Law by the sacrifice of Christ Jesus. This explains why Christians can esteem “one day as all others,” whether it be a sabbath or any other day, with no fear of judgment by another. (Ro 14:4-6; Col 2:16) Paul made the following expression concerning those scrupulously observing “days and months and seasons and years”: “I fear for you, that somehow I have toiled to no purpose respecting you.” -- Galations 4:10, 11.

Answer 7

If you abid in Christ you are not under the law for the law have not power over the blood of the lamb or rightiousness. We keep the laws of God not to be justified but to show obidence to God and a desire to be approved under the law. Yeat the law is death to the rightious and the blood is liberty from the curse of the law. So we are not under the law but under the spirit of the word.
The sabbath is under the old covenat we are under the new covenat. Jesus is Lord over the sabbath and we are Lords under him. So the sabbath is subject to us. And we rule over it as Christ even did. The sabbath was made for man and not man for the sabbath. So when christians Go to chruch in sunday have they not rested on saturday and observed the sabbath rest. And if christians go to church on saturday have they not broken the sabbath in praising the Lord on the sabbath and serving in the house of the Lord. Yeat even the laws allows this. So the sabbath is not of grace but of the law. Yeat we are of grace least we be subjects to the law. Yeat the law has not power over the grace of God. So that then is to be said of the keeping the sabbath.
Let each man judge in his on heart the matter of the sabbath. For if a man keeps the sabbath he keeps it unto the Lord, And if he does not keep the sabbath he keeps it not unto the Lord. Let us not be judges of the people of God for he is judge and we are fellow servants. We know in part and understand in part. He knows all things in fullness and in rightiousness he judges.
Thus he has even used the foolish things to confound the wise. So if there is one of you who is called by a brother in the Lord on the sabbath and ask to come and help because of a fire. Shall you indeed say i can't because i have to obey the law and keep the sabbath of God. Is it not also writen i desire mercy. Were as the law was weak by the flesh the law was perfected under Grace. The grace of God is to know Love and to Love your follow man. This is the perfect Liberty of Grace we often forget about. So if you keep the sabbath to show your self approved unto God you do well yeat if you break the sabbath in obidence to Love you do better. For God is not a respector of the law but of Grace. For Grace is not subject to the Law, but the Law is subject to Grace.

Answer 8

theologically the death penalty was possible, but in reality it was very hard to practice because of biblical laws restricting it. for example, in order for the death penalty to even be considered, there had to be at least two credible witnesses. and on top of that, at least one of the witnesses had to have reminded the person that what they were doing was punishable by death, and on top of THAT the person had to have acknowledged that they understood they were committing a crime punishable by the death penalty, but that they didn't care and were going to do it anyway. if any of these things was not fulfilled, the death penalty was not allowed as an option of punishment. and needless to say, its very difficult for any case to fulfill these requirements.

the mishnah (written in ancient times) says this about the death penalty being given by the sanhedrin (jewish court of law):

"A Sanhedrin that puts a man to death once in seven years is called destructive. Rabbi Eliezer ben Azariah says: a Sanhedrin that puts a man to death even once in seventy years. Rabbi Akiba and Rabbi Tarfon say: Had we been in the Sanhedrin none would ever have been put to death" (Mishnah, Makkot 1:10).

Answer 9

No....Only Jews are bound by the laws of the Sabbath.

Answer 10

We are obligated to honor the Lord's day and keep it holy. That's why we go to Mass every Sunday. It is one of the 10 commandments which we are still bound under.
