I will have to come back and check this thread out in the near future. It will be interesting to see how those who so quickly opposed homosexuality in a recent “Deep Waters” discussion, by citing OT Law, will reason their way out of the fact that they do not honor the Sabbath of the OT.
I was raised in an Apostolic/Pentecostal church and home and have, for the past three years, been attending a Seventh Day Adventist University. As a result, I have had many opportunities to discuss Sabbath keeping with many of my college friends and have found Paul's teaching regarding the keeping of the Law by the NT Church to be the only compelling argument for not following a Seventh Day Sabbath in this present age. It seems that all the other arguments are easily written off as good theories that lack biblical soundness.
We can argue all day long that the "rest" found in Christ somehow substitutes the Sabbath but where does the Scripture actually say that? It does not. What the NT writings do say, however, is that we are no longer under the Law and that it has been fulfilled in Christ. So, it doesn't matter whether the rest found in Christ replaced the Sabbath or not because the message of the NT is that Christ Himself replaced and fulfilled ALL THE LAW.
