As a person who was formerly under bondage, it breaks my heart to see people living this way. Whether it's confining yourself to worshipping on the sabbath, abstaining from meats, or not celebrating holidays - it's all the same to me!
I don't condemn anyone who chooses to do these things, but I do question why. Do you believe God condemns those who don't keep the sabbath holy, eat all meats, or celebrate holidays such as Christmas and Easter?
There is no condemnation in these things! There are plenty of scriptures that illustrate this fact: 1 Corinthians 6, Colossians 2, Romans 14, and 1 Timothy - just to name a few.
With that, I leave you with these scriptures:
1 Corinthians 10:31
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
Colossians 3:17
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Colossians 3:23
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
But I can't leave without sharing a favorite of mine:
Titus 1:15
Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
Now those are some words to live by!
