Message-ID: Date: 12 Feb 91 09:05:47 GMT Sender: hedrick@athos.rutgers.edu Organization: Auburn University Engineering Lines: 22 Approved: christian@aramis.rutgers.edu Hey Dave! You made a valuable point concerning the distinction between sacrificies that were fulfilled at the cross as opposed to the pre-Law Sabbath. But how would you respond to the passage in Romans 14:5-8 "One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God. For none of us lives to himself alone and none of us dies to himself alone. If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord." It would seem to me that he is implying the Sabbath with the "one sacred day". I would therefore conclude that upholding the Sabbath is a point of personal freedom not as an eternal commandment. Forgive me if you have already addressed this passage. I would be interested in your input. Kevin Bowman(kbowman@eng.auburn.edu) Two Foundational Facts of Human Enlightenment 1. There is a God 2.
