" They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is
coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service
to God. " Joh.16:2
******************************************
such is the case with Saturday Sabbath keepers thinking anyone not
going to church on Saturdays is breaking one of God's 10 Commandments.
so they've labeled the faithful Christians as " infidels "... the
same word Islamic terrorists like to use even against them. these do
not see that they're actually bearing false witness against Christ and
His elect... profaning one of the Ten Commandments they claim to be so
dearly obedient to.
grace and law keeping as the means to salvation are so diametrically
opposed to one another that the two can not co-exist in the same
place. nor in the same heart. this is why the Lord God in Christ
saves by grace and not by the works of the Law.
so as to be completely free of the bonds of the Law as a means of
justification before God, the early Christians began organized
worship on the first day of the week, Sunday, the day of new beginning
( creation ), the day Jesus Christ rose from the dead.
to do so put them in harm's way... the Jewish believer was
considered to be defying God by his religious leaders and the Gentiles
were considered by the Roman State to be defying the State religion.
they were saved by grace whereas no one is saved by the works of the
Law, ( Gal. 2;16 ) and to show the world that the grace of God saves
and the Law does not, they congregated as a group on Sundays. no
apostle forbade them to do such, for the apostles knew that Law
keeping does not give life but condemns, and drew their example of
this fact from the Old Testament whereas Moses, representing Law, was
not allowed to enter the promised land, which is by grace.
as soon as the Millerites will find grace in the Law will be as soon
as Christians are accepted to worship Jesus Christ in a Jewish
synagogue. neither is possible. those who have been shown grace by
God do not go to congregate on Saturdays so as not to look like
salvation is by works. |
