"Do we then overthrow the Law by this Faith?By No means! on the contrary we uphold the Law" Romans 3:31

Rilwayne001:


Well, since Paul has abrogated YAHWEH'S commandment, and paul as we know is the founder of today xtianity, therefore don't keep sabath.

But forreal, jesus kept sabath according to the bible.

Goshen360:


Question, how do you\we uphold the law BY FAITH since Galatians 3:12 declares, the LAW IS NOT OF FAITH?

Goshen360:


Which Sabbath did Jesus kept? Shadow or Substance Sabbath?

Goshen360:

Which Sabbath did Jesus kept? Shadow or Substance Sabbath?

Romans 7:12 says,

So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.

Yes, the law is holy but doesn't stop you from sinning but rather makes you a sinner. It is righteous but doesn't make you righteous and good neither. When you take a text out of context, you're left with CON.... . The question is, how do we uphold the law since also Galatians 3:12 declares, the LAW IS NOT OF FAITH abi no be same Apostle Paul write the 2 scriptures? Do we uphold the law BY KEEPING IT OR WHAT? And if we're keeping it, how? BY FAITH or THROUGH FAITH? If Yes, How can we keep or uphold the law by what the law is not made of, that is, the law is not of faith so how do we uphold the law by same faith it is not of?

starlingslimnet:
I don't get involved in hypocritical questions but for the sake of the viewers I will answer you briefly.

The Jews could not uphold the Law because they didn't seek it with Faith. Apostle Paul under the command of the Holy Spirit says " The Law is Spiritual".And I will have you remember what Moses who received the Law told the Isrealites the requirement of the Law "Circumcise then the foreskin of your heart" Deut 10:16 which is the samething as Faith explained by the same Apostle Paul in Romans 2:29.Now the Law is Spiritual and the unspiritual man does not understand the things of the Spirit and as far as the Jew is concerned Stephen confronts the Jews under the power of the Spirit that "They always resist the Holy Spirit" thus creating No room for the keeping of the Law by Faith rather they seek to keep it by their power.To this end the Son of GOD came to fulfil the Law by Meeting tbe requirement submission to the will of the Father and by that submission the just requirement of the Law is fulfilled.

The Law doesn't make you a sinner but sin make you a sinner.

Then Upholding the Law is seeking it with Faith and observing it in the Spirit. Christ came to give us power to keep GOD commandment and not the other way round.

God help you with your Faith. Bye

Goshen360:


Thanks but you should be ready to discuss and not just say bye just like that....

I'm willing to respond to everything you wrote line-by-line if you're ready to discuss. Your understanding of the whole concept and purpose of the law by the such as the mis-matched purpose and concept of God which many law advocates promote within Christianity.

starlingslimnet:
"the Faith you have keep between yourself and God" This is the answers God gave me when people hold wrong opinion.

Goshen360:


There's no such thing as one's opinion and God told me or gave me this and that answer. All scriptures must be prove for truth to be held.

starlingslimnet:
Lol because I didn't add the Scripture to it.... now here it is Romans 14:22 "The Faith that you have keep between yourself and God; Happy is he who has No reason to Judge himself for what. he approves" I don't just flourish my words with Scriptures all over because Truth needs No excess explanation only lies requires much explanation. Once again I say God help you with your Faith. Bye.

Goshen360:


Chai, God help you brother! Anyway, follow context!!! Cele people also believes and have faith in their rituals and I guess they're right and it's between them and God. Bottom line, a man can use faith positively in a right course and also positively in a wrong course. I'll let this slide for now.

Let's consider the following scriptural verses for and against the keeping of the Sabbath:

Exodus 20:8; 23:12; 31:15; Deuteronomy 5:12; Leviticus 26:2 and Romans 14:5; Colossians 2:16

Keep the Sabbath

(Exodus 20:8-9), "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 "Six days you shall labor and do all your work."

(Exodus 23:12), "Six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you shall cease from labor in order that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female slave, as well as your stranger, may refresh themselves."

(Exodus 31:15), "For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a sabbath of complete rest, holy to the Lord; whoever does any work on the sabbath day shall surely be put to death."

(Deuteronomy 5:12), "Observe the sabbath day to keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you."

(Leviticus 26:2), "You shall keep My sabbaths and reverence My sanctuary; I am the Lord."

Don't keep the Sabbath

(Romans 14:5), "One man regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Let each man be fully convinced in his own mind."

(Colossians 2:16), "Therefore let no one act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day."

In the light of the Scriptures posted above, should we keep the Sabbath or not?

It was the custom of the Jews to come together on the Sabbath, which is Saturday, cease work, and worship God. Of the 10 commandments listed in Exodus 20:1-17, only nine of them were reinstituted in the New Testament. (Six in Matthew 19:18, murder, adultery, stealing, false witness, honour parents, and worshipping God; Romans 13:9, coveting. Worshipping God properly covers the first three commandments). The one that was not reaffirmed was the one about the Sabbath. Instead, Jesus said that He is the Lord of the Sabbath (Matt. 12:8.)

In creation God rested on the seventh day. But, since God is all-powerful, He doesn't get tired. He doesn't need to take a break and rest. So, why does it say that He rested? The reason is simple: Mark 2:27 says, "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath." In other words, God established the Sabbath as a rest for His people--not because He needed a break but because we are mortal and need a time of rest and focus on God. In this, our spirits and bodies are both renewed.

The O.T. system of Law required keeping the Sabbath as part of the overall moral, legal, and sacrificial system by which the Jewish people satisfied God's requirements for behaviour, government, and forgiveness of sins. The Sabbath was part of the Law in that sense. In order to "remain" in favour with God, you had to also keep the Sabbath. If it was not kept, then the person was in sin and would often be punished (Ezekiel 18:4; Rom. 6:23; Deut. 13:1-9; Num. 35:31; Lev. 20:2, etc.).

But with Jesus' atonement, and justification by faith (Rom. 5:1), we no longer are required to keep the Law and hence the Sabbath which was only a shadow of things to come (Col. 2:16-17). We are not under Law but grace (Rom. 6:14-15). The Sabbath is fulfilled in Jesus because in Him we have rest (Matt. 11:28). We are not under obligation to keep the Law, and this goes for the Sabbath as well.
