Sabbath Notes & Extracts David H J Gay

Publisher Marketing: The sabbath is the reddest of all red buttons in the current debate about the law. Many believers think that the sabbath has been changed from the seventh day of the week to the first, and that all believers are obliged to keep it. Indeed, many argue that all men should keep the sabbath, since God gave it to Adam. Warning: You should get this only if you can stand and want lots of extracts! If you can't and don't, get the 'Sabbath Questions' only. David Gay argues that this is wrong, wrong according to Scripture. God did not command Adam to keep the sabbath. God gave the sabbath to the Jews in the wilderness at the same time as giving them the manna, setting it in stone at Sinai as the special, distinguishing marker for Israel in the old covenant. That covenant lasted until Christ, when he fulfilled it, and so rendered it obsolete. Believers, however, do have a sabbath. Their sabbath is Christ, their rest is not a weekly rest but their abiding spiritual rest in Christ, culminating in their eternal rest in glory. In this volume, Gay fully explores these matters and substantiates his claims. He writes: 'This volume is intended to be used as a working document to supply fuller notes and annotated extracts for my "Sabbath Questions: An open letter to Iain Murray," and should be read in conjunction with that book'.
