Thanks for sharing your walk with the Lord.
I am currently churchless & jobless just so you know since I am not in that walk as you guys are for observing the sabbath.
I do have some questions.
In your link on Sabbath day references, there is this one.
Leviticus 25:4 |
View whole chapter |
See verse in contextBut in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD:
thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
I believe that is what the Pharisees were charging Jesus about in regards to His disciples picking ears of corn in the field on the sabbath.
Matthew 12:1At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat. 2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day. 3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him; 4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests? 5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless? 6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple. 7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
Jesus referred to 2 incidents in the O.T. about how the saints had actually profaned the sabbath but were guiltless, because they were in the temple. Then He said One greater than the temple was here for how He was defending His disciples.
Can you explain this, seeing how this is a Bible Study portion of the forum?
Or would you prefer only those who practice as you do, to participate in this thread?
Thanks for any edification and/or correction in how to reply or not to reply to threads in this forum.
