The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum The Sabbath

Tom,

This subject of Calvin's view of the Sabbath being different from the later Puritans, etc., has been discussed here before. In fact, even as recently as June of last year there was mention of it in This Thread and more specifically, I offered This Reply and Rebuttal.

I cannot comment on Luther's view of the Sabbath from memory, however. But as to Calvin, his view was completely inline with that of the WCF and the Puritans who wrote it.

With the influence of John Reisinger and others who have promoted NCT, it shouldn't be surprising to you, being a Reformed Baptist, that the matter of the Sabbath Day should be questioned and ignored within that denomination/association. Presbyterian churches who ignore or reject the sanctity and perpetuity of the Sabbath do so most often for other reasons vs. those found in the NCT adherents. The result is the same but the reasons do differ.
