Sabbath keepers bind 3 ceremonial Laws of Moses:
Seventh-day Adventists wrongly dismiss that "Sabbath day" is not the weekly Sabbath, but must agree that "food and drink" is a reference to the prohibition against eating pork or other unclean foods.
Sabbatarians practice the forbidden and the abolished, and forbid that which is allowed!
Ceremonial law of Moses: |
What the New Testament says: |
What Sabbatarians practice: |
Tithing |
Prohibited: 2 Cor 9:7 |
Practice Jewish tithing instead of freewill offerings. |
Eating Pork |
Permitted: Mk 7:18-19 |
Bind Jewish law forbidding the eating of pork instead of allowing any food to be eaten like in the time of Abraham. |
Sabbath |
Abolished: Col 2:14-16 |
Keep the Jewish Sabbath instead of keeping the Lord's day (1st day) |
Sabbatarians are unaware the tithing 10 % is prohibited in the church by 2 Cor 9:7
"Each one must give as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. " (2 Cor 9:7)
Tithing prohibited in the church! |
|
Tithing (Sabbatarians) |
Freewill offerings: 2 Cor 9:7 (New Testament Christians) |
Tithing : God decides for the Christian. |
Freewill: God lets the Christian decide for himself. |
Tithing : Nothing to purpose in the heart about how much to give. The amount is predetermined to be 10%. |
"as he has purposed in his heart" Freewill: The giver must determine the percentage he will give. |
Tithing : Even if the Christian doesn't want to give 10%, God still expects him to do so, even grudgingly... the money MUST BE GIVEN even begrudgingly. |
"not grudgingly" Freewill: If you feel the slightest bit begrudged in giving, then God doesn't want you to give. |
Tithing : The Christian is under compulsion to give. He has no choice, he must give 10% because that is what God requires. |
"not under compulsion" Freewill: If the Christian doesn't want to give anything, even if he could, he is not forced to give at all! |
