I’ve got a lot going on today, so I had to duck out earlier and haven’t read all the comments here yet, but I remembered Dr. MacArthur’s helpful article on sabbath keeping. At the end of the article he refers readers to D.A. Carson’s book on the topic. My understanding of the Sabbath is very much in line with Dr. Carson’s.

Are the Sabbath laws binding on Christians today?

My understanding of the Sabbath is very much in line with Dr. Carson’s.

Mine runs along this line of reasoning found in the bible:

Romans 14:5-12King James Version (KJV)

⁵ One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

⁶ He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

⁷ For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

⁸ For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.

⁹ For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

¹⁰ But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

¹¹ For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

¹² So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

So rather than defend your own point of view you post a link and say I think this guy might be right. I did read the article and found inaccuracies in it. Confusing the issue for some is the fact that there were ceremonial Sabbaths that are no longer in effect. The Sabbath that commemorates creation is still in effect. It is the one that identifies God as Creator of the Heavens and the earth(s). It gives reason as to why He is worthy of worship. The establishment of the 7th day Sabbath preceded the races and divisions of men and their creeds. It will be a day of worship for all of eternity.

We do realize; OF COURSE; that the SABBATH begins at sundown on Friday; right?
