     | 3,206 views

    Why do Christians seem to keep all Ten Commandments except the Sabbath? This message addresses the difference in the way New Testament deals with Old Testament moral versus ceremonial laws.

    We are answering the question: Should a Christian Keep the Law? The biblical answer is yes and no. We should keep the moral commandments that are rooted in the immutable nature of God. God is holy. God is a moral being who holds people morally accountable. God does not change. So, the moral ...read more
