ELDER GRANT’S EIGHTH SPEECH
My friend admits the fourth command makes trouble, and that’s just what we have been Baying.DSQ63 42.4
He has one text that seems to weigh heavily in his own mind. “The Sabbath was made for man.” Now the fact that it was made for man, goes to show to my mind that it was ceremonial, or positive, and hence was done away with the rest of such laws.DSQ63 42.5
French says, “Colossians 2:16 cannot be confined to the Sabbath alone. It must apply to the whole circle of outward ordinances.” We view the Sabbath as a positive institution and its observance being limited to the old covenant has ceased.DSQ63 42.6
This is the testimony of Bishop Whateley, Irenæus, Tertullian, and Ignatius. “The Fathers,” says Calvin, “frequently called the Sabbath a shadow.” We find it classed among positive institutions and feasts, “made for man.”DSQ63 42.7
Baxter says, Colossians 2:16 means the weekly Sabbath.DSQ63 43.1
My friend says, The Sabbath existed from creation because the reason for its observance existed from that time.DSQ63 43.2
But we find that was only the reason why God chose that day for Israel. Let us see whether the Sabbath existed from creation all the way down.DSQ63 43.3
Bangor says, “It was given to Israel and to Israel alone.” He was also warranted in the expression “The Sabbath was done away.” Again he says, “We find nothing of the imposing of the seventh day before the wilderness of sin.” Dr Giles says, “In the wilderness of sin was the time it was instituted.” If it was made at creation why was it not mentioned before the exode.DSQ63 43.4
Calvin says, “The fourth commandment was abolished at the resurrection of Christ.” Erasmus says, “With Moses law we have nothing to do.” Chalmer says, “The former husband is taken away. The death of the law took affect at the death of Christ.” Selden says, “The Talmudists (Jews) consider the Sabbath their own.” Jonathan Edwards says, “The Jews were commanded to keep the Sabbath in commemoration of their deliverance from Egypt;” Masbein says “The first Christians held meetings on different days Justin Martyr says, “We meet on the day that Christ arose.” Barnabas says, “We keep the eighth day.”DSQ63 43.5
