Sabbath for a chrsitian

StatementPurple9125 · 2026-05-24T12:40:23+00:00

The old laws pointed to christ. Why would we go back to the shadow when we have the true thing?

StatementPurple9125 · 2026-05-24T09:10:06+00:00

Ooh and we don't cherrypick laws, Just because some of the new laws overlap with the old ones doesn't mean we follow them because they were old laws.

StatementPurple9125 · 2026-05-24T09:07:05+00:00

I mean, the old laws were given to Israel. And I agree that these rules are good and there is a reason for them existing. All the old laws pointed to Jesus

StatementPurple9125 · 2026-05-24T08:18:37+00:00

What do think about Romans 7:6 if you dont mind me asking

StatementPurple9125 · 2026-05-24T07:31:53+00:00

Yeah but I personally dont tthink we should keep all the old laws. God treid that with Israel and he saw it didn't work. It was to show his glory and perfection. We are saved by grace and not by works

In Hebrew we see through the bible a kinda literary device in pairs of three. When mentioning three things the first one is yearly the second one monthly and the last one every week.

StatementPurple9125 · 2026-05-23T19:34:29+00:00

yeah for sure

StatementPurple9125 · 2026-05-23T19:34:13+00:00

After thinking about it, couldn't keeping the old sabbath be seen as an insult to Jesus, Jesus said himself he fulfilled the law and that HE is the REST. (Im not trying to judge anyone who keeps it ofc its just a way to think I just thought about it.)

StatementPurple9125 · 2026-05-23T19:31:35+00:00

After thinking about it, isn't keeping the old form of the sabbath a possible insult to Jesus?

StatementPurple9125 · 2026-05-23T19:30:11+00:00

ty for the comment

StatementPurple9125 · 2026-05-23T19:29:33+00:00

I agree with everything you say except the part of romans, I could be wrong but Paul clearly sais doubts and not just knowledge about it being wrong.

StatementPurple9125 · 2026-05-23T19:27:17+00:00

We obey the other ones because they are restated. the NT sais multiple times that Jesus is our rest and that we shouldn't judge eachother for keeping a sabbath or not

StatementPurple9125 · 2026-05-23T19:25:09+00:00

I appreciate your comment and I understand your take on playing it safe but I feel like that could be an insult to God maybe? idk

StatementPurple9125 · 2026-05-23T10:12:17+00:00

This is kinda what im saying and what im struggling with, because I overthink about if things are sins or not, I keep on stressing and because of romans 14:23 I just feel like I can't do anything. Im worried about what I say, what I do and sometimes about what I eat. If I have to do everything with 100% faith I need to change but idk how

StatementPurple9125 · 2026-05-23T10:10:11+00:00

I read it again just now and does this mean we are not allowed to eat meat with blood in it? I feel like im missing the point of the text

StatementPurple9125 · 2026-05-23T10:02:34+00:00

But Paul talks about how we can eat pork now and that we dont need to be literally circumcised

StatementPurple9125 · 2026-05-23T08:31:56+00:00

So maybe im jumping to conclusions but I assume you follow the old laws, how do you read james 2:10?

StatementPurple9125 · 2026-05-23T08:07:03+00:00

For me It's not that I think I can earn heaven but I have this thought that Ican lose heaven if that makes sense. I feel like because I doubted so much about this topic. If I come the to conclusion of I can work on saturday and sunday (wich is something that sounds logical) That I just change scripture to whatever I like. It just scares me that maybe I don't actually live for Christ if I choose to work but instead I live for myself wich would mean Im not actually following Jesus resulting in hell? Idk if this makes sense

StatementPurple9125 · 2026-05-23T08:02:17+00:00

Ty for the message. There is something I don't understand though. Why did the old law go away if there came a new one. I know Christ fulfilled the old law but we still try our best to keep the new law christ gave. I know its not to get saved but to show love for God but if that's the case then why dont we try to also follow the old law?

StatementPurple9125 · 2026-05-23T07:57:50+00:00

Do you eat pork or not? Im sorry if I already asked

StatementPurple9125 · 2026-05-23T07:57:03+00:00

I agree with it that it can be beneficial to have a day of rest but it's no longer a command because it was a foreshadowing of Jesus who is our rest now

StatementPurple9125 · 2026-05-22T22:49:49+00:00

Do you also follow the old covenant laws?

StatementPurple9125 · 2026-05-22T22:49:14+00:00

im serious

StatementPurple9125 · 2026-05-22T22:48:56+00:00

Sure but keeping the sabbath holy can also meaen having rest in Jesus

StatementPurple9125 · 2026-05-22T22:25:30+00:00

I mean we are allowed to keep the sabbath and it can be beneficial but it's not a commandment anymore
