@__Conall To gather together, yes. Nothing about Sabbath observance.
English
@__Conall The Day of Judgement. The Second Coming. That’s obviously the context.

@CovenantReform2 He is not distinguishing the moral law and lumps it in with the ceremonial and civil. And then says that the "old covenant" law was abrogated by Christ. By not distinguishing, he is an antinomian because he doesn't see the moral law as a separate category from the ceremonial.
English
@__Conall Okay, do you realize that you just proved yourself wrong?
Do you really not know the difference between saying "the moral law doesn't exist" and "the term 'moral law' is not found in scripture?"
How do you make that mistake?
English
@CovenantReform2 Owen:
"sometimes called the "moral law," a term that is nowhere found in Scripture"
English
@__Conall I don't believe he ever teaches that moral law doesn't exist.

@ZGood99 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
— Hebrews 10:24-25
What day? The Lord's Day
English
@__Conall Cool. Calvin was wrong. Scripture interprets scripture. Jerusalem Council says nothing about Sabbath observance. That, along with Paul’s admonitions clearly indicate that observance of certain days is no longer valid. Gathering is good. A rest day is good. Nothing is mandatory.
English
@ZGood99 When Paul condemns "festivals and Sabbaths" in Colossians, he is condemning the maditory celebrations of Holy Days in the church, not the Lord's Day.
English
@__Conall The Jerusalem Council addressed what gentile Christians need to worry about. Sabbath observation wasn’t in there. Paul’s epistles are also replete with condemnations against judaizers who were holding strict views of the Sabbath.

"The Christianity of the region was not influential; ministers were few, and deficient in intelligence and weight, being chiefly the most uncultivated members of the Baptist communion, or of the itinerant fraternity of the Methodists. If the citizens saw anything of Episcopacy or Presbyterianism, it was only from the transient visits and sermons of ministers from a distance. The state of religious opinion was just what the observing man would expect from such influences. The profession of Christianity was chiefly confined to the more ignorant classes; and among them Church discipline and Christian morals were relaxed."-R.L. Dabney, LIFE AND CAMPAIGNS OF LIEUTENANT GENERAL THOMAS J. STONEWALL JACKSON

"It is manifest that his nature was intensely ambitious and aspiring. He thirsted eagerly for knowledge, and for well-earned distinction. He knew himself to be a depressed scion of a noble and influential stock; and while he felt no morbid shame at his poverty, he longed to reinstate himself in the foremost ranks of the kindred, from which orphanage and destitution had thrust him down."
...
"Was it not due to that noble constitution of his nature, that reverence for the true and the right, that manly courage which the Creator impressed upon it, for his own ulterior ends, coupled with the purifying force of a Christian mother's teachings and prayers?"- R.L. Dabney, LIFE AND CAMPAIGNS OF LIEUTENANT GENERAL THOMAS J. STONEWALL JACKSON

There are so many errors in this post, that I cannot begin to address them without writing a complete dissertation.
This is the result of biblicism and a promotion of antinomianism rejected by the very reformers Owen would claim. His view is modern and liberal.

Let’s check in on Owen Strachan:
Defending women wearing bikinis✅
Defending women’s right to vote ✅
Defending women who say the prophets were not Christian but Jewish✅
Defending keeping the Sabbath ❌

So, I publicly made an apology to a few men who I had slandered a couple years back, as I felt very convicted over it.
It’s gotten a lot of attention and encouraging DMs and now I feel a little conflicted.
I certainly did not do this for attention, I just felt it should be done publicly as I had slandered publicly.
And also, through the process I had discovered more people I owed apologies too.
But here’s my point and it’s very important. The right cancels very differently and grace is available. Follow along.
I’ve been canceled by the left multiple times. In fact, in 2018 I lost my job at Amazon for refusing to participate in a Pride event and that’s what launched my coaching business from part time to full time.
I’ve also been canceled by the right… because I was posting half naked women in the name of fitness.
Now, there were many on the right who handled it poorly, said cruel things, and didn’t bother to reach out to me directly, however, it didn’t change this… they were right. I had to sit with that and eat humble pie, and that took about a year or so to take root.
One brother, @Joseph_Spurgeon was one who refused to cancel me, but he did challenge me multiple times, directly, but lovingly and his words are still marinating in my head.
That said, I can’t control others, I can only control me. Through him, and a few others I came to see the folly and shifted course.
I’ve been on a several month journey of reaching out privately as well as here to people I know I slandered.
Every single one has graciously accepted my apology and extended the right hand of fellowship.
That is what is fundamentally different about Christians verses the left. When you offend the left, there is no grace. There is no redemption.
I already addressed @Eric_Conn and the fellows in Ogden.
But I also owe @TheJollyBrawler (who he and I have been having offline conversations and he really is jolly and gracious) @DailyGenevan an apology and I’m sure others will come to mind.
These are good men, fighting the death of the west and the cause of Christendom.
A few brothers have blocked me (understandably) who I would love to reconcile with. One such gentlemen is John Moody. One of yall can forward this to him. I was a petulant fool toward him and that was wrong.
Summarizing…. Those who criticize these men, they are gracious and kind. I know because I’ve been attacked by both sides and only one side has offered forgiveness and that’s fundamentally because of Christ.

Why Sabbath observance is perpetual:
1. Creation ordinance
2. Part of moral law
3. Day to remember God's deliverance of us from Egypt (typologically)
4. God's own pattern: work 6 days, rest 1
5. Christ says it's for man's benefit
6. NT church: "Lord's Day" clearly set apart

The Sabbath is fulfilled in Christ (Matt. 11:28-30). I respect the views of friends who disagree. But we live by the FINISHED work of Christ. We possess rest *at all times.* We need not enforce Sabbath-keeping, whether at home or in society. Jesus the Fulfiller has come!
English
@CovenantReform2 @ostrachan That is moronic, the Reformers never believed in punishing covetousness as a crime either, but they would certainly call it breaking the moral law.
Your belief is a result of the 20th century liberalism, not historic orthodoxy.

@ostrachan The state's job is to uphold the righteous and punish the evil doer. Keeping the Lord's Day is the 4th commandment. It is part of the moral law which expounds natural law. The state should promote righteousness, including keeping the 4th commandment.
English
@ostrachan The Church's mission is to preach the gospel and call men to repentance. The law shows them their sin. Christ kept the law. The law shows us what it means to obey Christ. So while you can't be justified by the law, you must be sanctified in obedience to it with a thankful heart.
English
What Hebrews teaches on the old covenant law (from Jason DeRouchie):
“The law made nothing perfect” (7:19); but in Christ, we find:
--a “better hope” (7:19)
--a “better covenant” (7:22; cf. 8:6)'
--“better promises” (8:6)
--“better sacrifices” (9:23)
--“better possession” (10:34)
--a “better country” (11:16)
--a “better life” (11:35)
--and a “better word” (12:24)
None of this entails or enfranchises antinomianism, whether individually, ecclesially, or societally. What it does mean is that we are no in way trying to go back to the old covenant law.
We Christians are under the new covenant, and so we obey all the New Testament, and look in an even broader sense to the person, work, teaching, and example of Jesus Christ. He is now our standard of holiness, not the old covenant law; he is the incarnate and embodied fulfillment of all the old covenant law.
The law (generally meaning what is sometimes called the "moral law," a term that is nowhere found in Scripture) has value in society as a restraint on sin (1 Timothy 1:8-11). Further, the law continues to teach us about the perfections of God and his moral will for our world. However, Hebrews is clear that we are under the reign and rule of Christ.
The old covenant, then, was not bad; it was good. But it is abrogated and fulfilled by the person and work of Christ (2 Cor. 1:20). We seek good law for the public square, to be sure. But we do so knowing that our mission is not to restore old covenant law in the nation; our mission is to make disciples of all nations by the power of the gospel (Rom. 1:16; Matthew 28:16-20).
Nowhere does the New Testament lay upon the church the burden to reestablish old covenant law in a given society. We have freedom to work to institute good law in our country, absolutely; that's good to do! But that is not how the kingdom advances.
You can enforce the Sabbath in every hamlet, town, and city in America--that is not the same as the advancement of the gospel. Nor is that our mission; nor is that our marching orders from the apostles and New Testament authors. To make it so is to lay a new burden on the backs of God's people, and ultimately to transfer precious resources of time and energy away from what our calling as the church actually is: not to "Christianize" America, but to make disciples by the power of the gospel.
You cannot change or adapt the mission of the church without real consequences. You must stay on mission as Christ defined it. Any deviation from this, however noble and well-intended, will have effects, and they will not be positive.
(If you doubt this, in historical terms, look at how legalistic enforcement of such strictures fared in the age of both English Puritanism and New England Puritanism. Trying to enforce the standards of old covenant law in society failed, quite frankly, in both contexts. Reinstituting Sabbath observance did not transform either context, not even close. It muddled the mission of the church, and even created fearsome backlash against the church.)

@CovenantReform2 @ostrachan Calling Calvin, Luther, all the Westminster Divines, and every magisterial reformer "not Reformed" is an interesting argument lol
English
@__Conall @ostrachan Sorry, but if you don't believe in Sola Scriptura, you aren't Reformed. And Romans 14:5, Galatians 4:10, and Colossians 2:16 debunks Sabbatarianism and Matthew 28:18f and all the NT debunks infant baptism.
Your tradition is unbiblical.
English
@CovenantReform2 @ostrachan There are different degrees of sin obviously. Some deserve worse punishment than others and not all are crimes. This is basic Reformed theology.
English
@__Conall @ostrachan If they treat so-called "Sabbath breaking" (e.g., working on Sunday after church attendance) differently than murder, adultery, etc, then they do not really believe it is a moral law, just like the others, which is their basic claim.
