In reguards following the law.

James 2:10-14

Quite straight forward.

What is interesting to me is that the jews are refered to following
613 laws and they are old/done away laws. How many laws are thier in the
new Testatament that you claim as somehow better. 1000+ are you a
legalists? miles

stevewm,

Nero (I believe) changed the week, so that Christians would be forced to
work on Saturday (the Jewish Sabbath), in response Christians adopted
Sunday as the new Sabbath.

Have you noticed that Sunday is the first day of the week on you
calendar? That's not a mistake, it was an attempt to destroy
Christianity.

Thank you spider

does that not mean that a good portion of the christian population go
against gods will?

Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy.

stevewm,

The Sabbath, like all of the Law, was a shadow of Jesus. We are under
grace, not law. Romans 14 states "One person regards one day above
another, another regards every day alike Each person must be fully
convinced in his own mind." If you feel like you must observe the
Sabbath, that is God letting you know that it is something YOU
personally need to do. For someone else, they might not feel the need
to observe the Sabbath. Whatever you do, must be in faith. Read Romans
14, it is a short but VERY powerful chapter.

Read Genesis.

It states in no uncertain terms that we are to keep the sabbath holy.

Christ said he came not to abolish the law but to uphold it.

That quote from Romans is taken out of context. It is about something
entirely different read the paragraphs above and below it.

AdventureBegins,

I've read the whole chapter! It's about Christians not judging each
other for doctrine.

Since when you are concerned about the law? The Bible is just a "holy"
book written by men from their point of view, right?

Genesis is from the Torah.

That book was not voted upon by a council led by an unbeliever. It was
scribed under very precise conditions. It was also something that
council could not change as it was in much wider circulation than they
could control.

How does the sabbath apply to people who don't have a choice but to
work. When they're trying desparately to feed their families and keep a
roof over their heads. Every day above ground is a work day for some.
What about those who have a commitment to others where they can't just
say no. Not looking to pick a fight, just curious if there's a provision
for people who have no choice. I know some people in this situation.

If a man must work I reckon he should work.

Genesis does not say we must not work it says we must remember the day
and keep it holy.

That concept was expanded on later by Moses.
