Squabbling over the Sabbath
Mar 13th, 2008 |
The Bible says, “Do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.” (Colossians 2:16) These four items had become points of contention in the early church. The Apostle Paul had grown weary of the saints fighting over them, so he told them to quit it. Unfortunately, divergent strands of Christianity still fight over these things. In particular, Christians still seem to want to judge each other over how they observe the Sabbath.
