]Forth of the 10 commandments. So many of us struggle with it, Especialy those of us who have been exposed to Seventh Day Adventist teaching. Mainly because the bible backs up this command is so many places, it's very hard to ignore as a hot issue!
As Christians, we want to do the right, and be loyal servants of God.
I have been to a few SDA churches, and i didn't like any of them as a church. They seem to feel as though most of the universe revolves around this one commandment. My daughters have actualy been told they are going to hell because they worship on a Sunday.
So why do we worship on a Sunday if i'm conflicted by the sabbath? Because overall, we have to go where we feel we should be. Where it feels "Right". And i didn't feel like i belonged in the SDA church at all. Should we go to a lousy church just to make sure we are keeping all the commandments, according to the works theory? Or go to a church where all our spiritual needs are been met, but not on the 7th day? I try not to think about it too much, but occasionaly i dwell on it. Is that Satan trying to stir the pot, or God telling me to obey?
Here is my stand on this at the moment:
In the old testament, people didn't have a personal relationship with God [except the odd person he spoke to]. He set up some basic rules for people to live by, to show their loyalty and obedience to him. These rules were not to be broken.
Then Jesus came to live with us. When this happened, we were able to have a personal relationship with God through Jesus. If we are living every day as Jesus asks us to, then we are spending every day with God, and God in us. So then, doesn't every day become the sabbath day? And because we strive for ALL of our actions to be in Christ, resting in Christ. [Spiritual rest] As long as we reserve one day specificaly to fellowship in his house, Aren't we keeping the sabbath? It's not the 7th day, but it is a day of worship and rest.
Jesus came to fulfill the law, not to break it or change it. But fulfill it...he became the law, He became the sabbath, and he is within us, and us in him.

That's where i stand today :o)

I also read in interesting idea, that the seventh day may or may not be an eternal day.
