Apologia for the Law and the Sabbath

To Love God Is to Keep His Commandments

De: Roger Hadad

Narrado por: Steven Osarczuk

In the Gospels, Jesus consistently refers to the first five books of the Old Testament as “the law”. And on many occasions, the master extracts legal precedents from this law in order to settle all kinds of disputed matters and even subdue the Tempter. Yet modern believers dogmatically insist that this same law has been “done away” in order to make way for salvation.

But is this a helpful and correct understanding of the Holy Scriptures? What are the unintended consequences of promoting a view where the Bible, as it were, devours itself? Is there a cognitive price to be paid? Have contemporary Christians set themselves up for failure and misperception by advancing this view as we force our square doctrinal peg into the round Scriptural hole? Can we really uproot justice, mercy, and faith from the Old Testament, yet maintain a coherent biblical worldview?

The author of Apologia believes that there is a better way. Discover the unbreakable unity of the Holy Scriptures and be free from the cognitive dissonance that plagues modern believers. Discover the encrypted code that runs all through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation, the connection between the Old Testament Law and the New Covenant, the difference between legalism and lawfulness, and the Scriptural way of loving God.

Apologia for the Law and the Sabbath is an audacious and in-your-faith way of looking at the Bible that causes the heart to burn with passion. It forcefully tears open the veil that separates Old and New Testament Scriptures to reveal a bold and seamless narrative which reveals the Creator’s ancient code of conduct for believers. Tread past salvation’s timid threshold and boldly step into the path of righteousness where we partner with God as we strive to reach the full measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ and boldly claim your rightful place as sons and daughters of the Almighty. Discover the common denominator which characterized our spiritual ancestors—Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and the apostle Paul. Rekindle your new birth passion and strengthen your faith in a way you never thought possible. Grow past the bashful platitudes and learn the way of the master. Listen to the book others are calling “tremendous”, “excellent”, and “refreshing.”

A balanced approach to understanding the law

His conversational tone made it easy to listen.

Once you understand that Jesus did not change the law and the law is necessary for mercy and forgiveness, you’ll read the Bible with your eyes open.

I love the law! Read the Psalms- you’ll see that David, a man after God’s heart, loved the law.

Absurdly complicated and unnecessarily so!

The Sabbath i.e., the 4th Commandment is indeed forever however, this author like most authors apparently wants to appear intellectual and make what is simple so very complicated unnecessarily. The bible is clear that the law of God written in our hearts and in our minds is the Ten Commandments and that believers are saved from the curse and penalty of the law which is death. But no, this author goes on and on in unnecessary convoluted arguments and explanations.
