Jesus was observant, taught His followers to be observant. Paul is accused of teaching Judeans who are Apostolics to stop circumcising their children, and to forsake the law of Moses. James discussion with Paul is about Paul refuting the false accusation by performing ritual cleansing at the temple. Paul circumcised Timothy Acts 16:3. Yet, Titus Paul did not. Yet, we are talking about the moral law here concerning the commandments thou shall not murder, commit adultery, honor God and no one else, and honor the sabbath. Which you cannot say that we are still obligated to keep one or three and leave the other undone. |
The prophecy does not prove that Christians need to be Sabbath keepers. It is clear that the command to flee is for the people at Jerusalem, and Jesus tells them to pray that it doesn’t happen in winter or in the Sabbath because the obvious difficulties to flee in winter or Sabbath day. It is obvious that you can come to the conclusion that Jerusalem, at the time of the fulfillment, is going to be dominated by Jewish Sabbath keeping, to the point of affecting the transportation system.
