Thinking outside the box

The box being, western evangelical Christianity. Is anyone still saying their church is the only one, or the very closest way to get to Heaven. You should not read the following. By the way, I still maintain that Jesus is the only Way to Heaven. Your church may be good, but it's not that good... I mean to promise people that membership in your group is a one-way ticket, that won't work any more. Never really did.

Can I talk now? OK, this is about the sabbath. Groan, groan. No, I'm not JW, or 7th-day this or that. Not even Messianic Jewish, though I wish I were sometimes. There's actually a sizable number of "other" Christians who find a 7th day Sabbath as quite Scriptural. I don't fuss about it. Not a legal point with me. I just kinda like practicing what all the Old Testament saints practiced, what Jesus practiced, and what the apostles and at least the first believers practiced. And, oh yeah, I see where Sabbaths of this sort will be observed in the New Age. The real New Age, I mean. The present group calling itself New Age is just Old Deception with a New Name.

But in the Age which Jesus will establish, commonly known as the "Millennium", Sabbaths and several other Jewish customs will be in place. Looks like Jesus never stopped being Jewish! Rather than make Him a Gentile, I guess it's best that we turn toward Israeli ways. What do you think?

The law? Oh no. Whew! You say. You mean, now, murder is OK? That's the law, you know. Don't move into the house next to me, if that's what you believe. God never intended his people to be lawless, only to be freed from the condemnation of the law, its curse. Ten commandments are in, once we realize how they are produced in a believer's life.

But, we were talking about the possibility of a 7th day Sabbath rest. Not the meeting time. We all know they started meeting on the first day of the week, in celebration of the resurrection, perhaps Pentecost, etc. But a Sunday shut-down was the product of Roman Emperors and Roman Popes. Sorry. It really was.

God did His finest work on Sundays, first-days. Let there be light! Jesus, come forth! Spirit, fall! Such work! For this we should rest all day?

Yep, the Son of God rested on the 7th day. In fact, that was the last thing He did as the Son of Man. His body rested all day in the tomb. Then the next morning, rise and shone, lots of work to do!

But, the Sabbath was made for Jews, the Bible says, right? Not if Jesus wrote the Bible. He said, the Sabbath was made for mankind. God blessed that day, set it apart. Has He unblessed it? Could you show me where?

Hey, no legalism intended here. God's been stretching me over the years. Just want to pass it on. Try it out. Great exercise.
