He who eats eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat and gives thanks to God". Just something to keep in mind as concerns the sabbath. |
Wow, this must be some kind of record in busting out with the "L" word about the 4th commandment. Did God "place heavy burderns" on his people for the
majority of redemptive history in requiring them to honor the Sabbath?
May I suggest reading the article? And reading many of the Reformers exegesis of that passage (and others) would help, too. Have you read your avatar, John Murray on the matter?
Also, consdier your exegesis of Romans 14 - is this addressing the 4th commandment or something else?
