Works that are initiated on the part of MAN are limited on the Sabbath! Works initiated by GOD unto man are never forbidden!
Joh 5:10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
oh 5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
John points out the JEWS thought he had broken the SABBATH from prima facia evidence and he was pointing out the mentality the JEWS did not believe him that his "works" claim to be God superceded the LAW of the Sabbath. The Jews knew that the only way he could not be held accountable to that aspect of the LAW was to be God as the LAW did not render GOD impotent on the Sabbath. YES, IF AND I SAY IF Jesus was not God he would have broken the Sabbath but he wasn't. Also if Jesus was not God (which he is) if God tells a man to do something by his authority it is not mans WORK by his own initiative but GODS work and there is not law against such! It is about putting to rest mans desires and works thus LAYING DOWN HIS BURDEN, NOT GODS!
Thus the Jews went after him seeing him AS A MAN NOT GOD MANIFESTED and accused him of both breaking the SABBATH and CLAIMING to be equal with GOD.
Both errors as GOD has not limitations on the Sabbath and Jesus had the authority of GOD. |
Ok let’s try this again, If God tells you to break the law its OK? My position is he didn't break the law because the law was passing away soon to be gone forever, except for those folks who want to merge Christianity with a works based salvation based on the Law of Moses
The Bible tells us why the Jews sought to kill him, not what the Jews thought.
