Re: Sabbeth Keepers
Don't fall for the doctrine of the Pharisees!
Mark chapter 7:
[9] And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
[10] For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
[11] But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.
[12] And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
[13] Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
Notice the pharisee teaching: One could avoid actually doing what the commandment of God required by claiming a higher, spiritual purpose. By dedicating one's money as a gift to the service of God, one was free of the obligation of obedience to the actual stated command of God (in this case the fifth commandment).
Modern Pharisaism does the same thing with the fourth commandment. By claiming a "higher spiritual purpose", higher and "more important" than actual obedience to the commandment's words, they reject the commandment of God in order to keep man-made tradition.
Beware the leaven (teaching) of the Pharisees!
