Are the Ten Commandments Binding Today?
Is the Command Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep
it holy Still in Effect Today?
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. (Ex.
208) Six days you shall labor and do all your
work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the
LORD your God. In it you shall do no work you,
nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male
servant, nor your female servant, nor your
cattle, nor your stranger who is within your
gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens
and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them,
and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD
blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. (Ex.
209-11)

Patriarchs Never Observed the Sabbath Israelites
Had To Be Told What To Do!
Then the LORD said to Moses, Behold, I will rain
bread from heaven for you. And the people shall
go out and gather a certain quota every day, that
I may test them, whether they will walk in My law
or not. (Ex. 164) And so it was, on the sixth
day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two
omers for each one. And all the rulers of the
congregation came and told Moses. Then he said to
them, This is what the LORD has said Tomorrow
is a Sabbath rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD.
Bake what you will bake today, and boil what you
will boil and lay up for yourselves all that
remains, to be kept until morning. So they laid
it up till morning, as Moses commanded (Exodus
1622-24)

Sabbath Given to Israel
And God spoke all these words, saying I am the
LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of
Egypt, out of the house of bondage.Remember the
Sabbath day, to keep it holy. (Ex. 201-2,
8) And Moses called all Israel, and said to
them Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments
which I speak in your hearing today, that you may
learn them and be careful to observe them. The
LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
The LORD did not make this covenant with our
fathers, but with us, those who are here today,
all of us who are alive. (Deut. 51-3)

Sabbath Purpose
Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the
LORD your God commanded you.And remember that
you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the
LORD your God brought you out from there by a
mighty hand and by an outstretched arm therefore
the LORD your God commanded you to keep the
Sabbath day. (Deut. 512, 15)

Sabbath Sign Between God and Israel
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, Speak also
to the children of Israel, saying Surely My
Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between
Me and you throughout your generations, that you
may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you.
You shall keep the Sabbath, therefore, for it is
holy to you.the children of Israel shall keep
the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout
their generations as a perpetual covenant. It is
a sign between Me and the children of Israel
forever for in six days the LORD made the
heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He
rested and was refreshed. (Ex. 3112-17)
7
Sabbath Sign Between God and Israel
Therefore I made them go out of the land of Egypt
and brought them into the wilderness. And I gave
them My statutes and showed them My judgments,
which, if a man does, he shall live by them.
Moreover I also gave them My Sabbaths, to be a
sign between them and Me, that they might know
that I am the LORD who sanctifies them. (Ezek.
2010-12)

Sabbath Penalty for Violation
DAY OF REST You shall keep the Sabbath,
therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who
profanes it shall surely be put to deathWork
shall be done for six days, but the seventh is
the Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever
does any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely
be put to death. (Ex. 3114-15) They found a
man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day They put
him under guard, because it had not been
explained what should be done to him. Then the
LORD said to Moses, The man must surely be put
to death all the congregation shall stone him
with stones outside the camp... (Num. 1532-36)

To Bypass the Regulations Penalty

• Sabbatarians Teach
• The Law of God and the Law of Moses are
  different laws.
• The Ten Commandments, which includes the
  Sabbath, is the Law of God, and is still binding
  today.
• The Law of Moses is merely the ceremonial law,
  and that law has been done away with.

The Bible Makes No Such Distinction!
14
Law of God Law of Moses
And when they brought out the money that was
brought into the house of the Lord, Hilkiah the
priest found a book of the law of the Lord given
by Moses. (2 Chron. 3414)
Ezra came up from Babylon and he was a skilled
scribe in the Law of Moses, which the LORD God of
Israel had given. (Ezra 76)
Moses said, honor thy father and thy mother.
(Mark 710)
15
Law of God Law of Moses
The king also appointed a portion of his
possessions for the burnt offerings for the
morning and evening burnt offerings, the burnt
offerings for the Sabbaths and the New Moons and
the set feasts, as it is written in the Law of
the LORD. (2 Chron. 313)
Ever read about burnt offerings in the Ten
Commandments?
Now all the people gathered together as one man
in the open square that was in front of the Water
Gate and they told Ezra the scribe to bring the
Book of the Law of Moses, which the LORD had
commanded Israel. (Neh. 81)
16
Law of God Law of Moses
Now when the days of her purification according
to the law of Moses were completed, they brought
Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord (as
it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male
who opens the womb shall be called holy to the
LORD), and to offer a sacrifice according to
what is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of
turtledoves or two young pigeons. (Luke 222-24)
There is no difference between the Law of God and
the Law of Moses the Only Reason a distinction
is made is to bind Sabbath Keeping today!

The Covenant, Including the Ten Commandments,
Done Away in Christ
Nothing was in the ark except the two tablets of
stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when the
LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel,
when they came out of the land of EgyptAnd there
I have made a place for the ark, in which is the
covenant of the LORD which He made with our
fathers, when He brought them out of the land of
Egypt. (1 Kings 89, 21)
18
The Covenant, Including the Ten Commandments,
Done Away in Christ
So He declared to you His covenant which He
commanded you to perform, the Ten Commandments
and He wrote them on two tablets of stone.
(Deut.413) So he was there with the LORD forty
days and forty nights he neither ate bread nor
drank water. And He wrote on the tablets the
words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments. (Ex.
3428)
19
The Covenant, Including the Ten Commandments,
Done Away in Christ
For if that first covenant had been faultless,
then no place would have been sought for a
second. Because finding fault with them, He says
Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when
I will make a new covenant with the house of
Israel and with the house of Judahnot according
to the covenant that I made with their fathers in
the day when I took them by the hand to lead them
out of the land of Egypt because they did not
continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them,
says the LORD. (Heb. 87-9) In that He says, A
new covenant, He has made the first obsolete.
Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is
ready to vanish away. (Heb. 813)
20
The Covenant, Including the Ten Commandments,
Done Away in Christ Nailed to the Cross
Having wiped out the handwriting of requirements
that was against us, which was contrary to us.
And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed
it to the cross. (Col. 214) So let no one judge
you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival
or a new moon or Sabbaths, which are a shadow of
things to come, but the substance is of Christ.
(Col. 216-17)
21
The Covenant, Including the Ten Commandments,
Done Away in Christ
Who also made us sufficient as ministers of the
new covenantBut if the ministry of death,
written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so
that the children of Israel could not look
steadily at the face of Moses because of the
glory of his countenance, which glory was passing
away, how will the ministry of the Spirit not be
more glorious? if what is passing away was
glorious, what remains is much more glorious.
Thereforewe use great boldness of speech--
unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so
that the children of Israel could not look
steadily at the end of what was passing away. But
their minds were blinded. For until this day the
same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the
Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in
Christ. (2 Cor. 36-14)
22
The Law of Commandments Abolished in
Christ Nailed to the Cross
For He Himself is our peace, who has made both
one, and has broken down the middle wall of
separation, having abolished in His flesh the
enmity, that is, the law of commandments
contained in ordinances, so as to create in
Himself one new man from the two, thus making
peace, and that He might reconcile them both to
God in one body through the cross, thereby
putting to death the enmity. (Eph. 214-16)
23
The First Day of the Week The Day of Worship for
Christians

  241)
• Jesus met with his disciples after His
  Resurrection on the First Day of the Week. (John
  201,19, 26)
• Great events of Acts 2

  the week (Lev. 2315).
• The first gospel sermon was preached (Acts
  222-36).
• The Lord's church had its beginning as men
  heard, believed and were baptized for the
  remission of their sins (Acts 238, 47).

24
The First Day of the Week
The Day The Church Assembled
For first of all, when you come together as a
churchTherefore when you come together in one
place, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper. (1
Cor. 1118-20) Therefore if the whole church
comes together in one place, and all speak with
tongues (1 Cor. 1423) Now on the first day of
the week, when the disciples came together to
break bread (Acts 207) Now concerning the
collection for the saints, as I have given orders
to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also
On the first day of the week let each one of you
lay something aside (1 Cor. 161-2)
