The Sabbath Question


The Sabbath Question: Introduction
In this study, we bring you the INTRODUCTION to our series on the Sabbath

The Sabbath: the Memorial of God's Creation
The Creator God did not place a physical monument somewhere in our world to continually remind us that He created everything. Rather than building a physical monument, God instituted a monument in time that will continually tell of His creatorship through the ceaseless ages of eternity

The Feast Days and the Sabbath
In this study, we will consider the various feast days that were connected with the Israelite sanctuary service, and trace out the various ceremonial sabbaths that were associated with them. We will then examine the key differences between these ceremonial sabbaths and the Seventh-day Sabbath of the Decalogue

Christ and the Sabbath
The controversies that often ensued between Christ and the Jewish leaders in regard to the Sabbath, bordered primarily on the manner or way in which the Sabbath was to be observed, and not the Sabbath commandment itself

The Disciples and the Sabbath
The Disciples of Christ continued to keep the Sabbath even after their Lord's ascension. This practice of the disciples was in conformity with the example of Christ (see Luke 4:16).

'Let no man therefore judge you ...': an exposition on Paul's words in Colossians 2:16
In this particular case with the Church at Colossae, the believers with a Jewish background began to judge their Gentile brethren for not keeping the ceremonial laws which they still held in high esteem. To these Jews, the Gentile converts will only be "true Christians" if they kept the ceremonial requirements of the Law of Moses.
