Question
did Jesus come to do away the law?. are the 10 commandments still scared?. is saturday sabbath?. how come Jesus,Paul among the another kept the sabbath
Hi Nkosilathi,
I hope you are well and an interesting question which I shall do my best to answer.
Jesus, never came to change the laws or the 10 commandments, but to fulfil them. The real Sabbeth is on a Saturday, this being the last day of the week, not Sunday, this being the first day of the week.
One theory which I understand and believe is that early Christians were forced to change their Sabbeth day of rest,by a Roman Emperor called Hadrian, as the Romans had a weekly worship day to one of their many Gods on a Sunday, as you know Christians were persacuted by the Romans and so I believe had no choice, but to change theirs.
I hope this helps.
Regards and God Bless
Clive Heath

I believe that is now my role in life.

I do not call them clients, they are people in need of the love of God and of people.
I have mentored many young people, including those that are in our local prison, to hopefully live an honest and Christian life.
