Breaking the Sabbath is against the Law of Moses but it is not sin unless its sin in your heart. Thats the point, Jesus showed that for a righteous man the Ten Commandments do not apply, only for the unrighteous.

Remember Abraham was counted righteous by God because of faith. The Ten Commandments were not even around in Abraham's time. Jesus was also righteous by faith and not by the works of the Law. We should be righteous by faith and not the works of the Law.

According to the Ten Commandments, breaking the Sabbath results in death. Most Christians break the Sabbath every Sunday ( the Sabbath is Saturday) so according to the Ten we should die, which is why we become sick and eventually die, its sin working over a period of time on our bodies. Its not just the Sabbath but covetousness and a all the rest. If we say we live by the Ten and break them we are judged by them, if we live by faith then we are under grace and we don't need to sacrifice an animal because we have a sacrifice in Jesus

The fact is we are all under the bondage of the Law until God brings us out of that bondage and we are taught, by God, how to live by faith like Jesus does.

Sin in the eyes of man may not be sin in the eyes of God. According to the religious leaders, Jesus was a sinner and should be put to death. According to God Jesus was not a sinner and we know this because Gods power was shown through Jesus. Jesus couldn't have performed miracles by himself, he said so himself, but it was the power of God working through him. Jesus was approved of God by mighty signs and wonders.

So if we live by faith it's ok to break all of the 10 commandments, and we aren't to be held responsible?
I believe I read somewhere that if we love G-d,
we will obey his commandments.

This sounds like the argument being made by a lost world.If we don't consider it a sin it is not a sin.Jesus told us the ten commandments do apply but through God's grace we can avoid the eternal punishment.This entire debate is built on a fallacy.It all rests on the assumption Jesus broke the commandment to keep the Sabbath Holy.He was accused of this but none could make the case.

Luk 13:16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?


Luk 13:17 And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.




Luk 14:3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?


Luk 14:4 And they held their peace. And he took [him], and healed him, and let him go;
