Jesus also said "what comes out of your mouth is what makes you clean, not what goes in". He worked on the Sabbath and ate without observing the ritualistic handwashing He was supposed to do first. He prevented a bunch of religious men from stoning a woman who should have been stoned under OT law. I do not know exactly what He meant by that line about not one line passing away, but I do not think it meant "you are sinning if you don't follow this law to the letter". Rather, I think it had more to do with pointing out that the law was put in place for a reason and we all fall short. But He made it clear in His actions and other things He said that He wants us to focus on being loving and good and kind, not obsessing over the letters of the law.

I'm not a scholar, but His actions are speaking to me just as loudly as His words.

Understanding that I am talking only of the interpretation I grew up with, but the meaning I have always understood of that "not one line passing away" bit is more about the Ten Commandments, which were always the central laws.

I also recall once hearing the opinion that some parts of the New Testament were really confusing because the word "law" was used to translate both references to the Commandments and the laws of Moses.

Maybe. But Jesus did do the "working on the Sabbath" thing.

I think it's easy to make an argument that the Sabbath law was intended to be more like "take time out of your life to rest and honor Me" but if you're going by the letter of the law then yeah it's definitely the "seventh day" thing. Though of course you can argue about what constitutes "work" and which day is the seventh day.

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

The iconic story of Jesus "working" on the Sabbath is when he and his disciples were out, with no food, and stripped some wheat plants for a handful of seeds to eat.
It was not like they were harvesting the whole field, they were only getting enough for a snack, but the authorities of that time had such strict rules that doing that was against them.

So my church at least believed in abstaining in unnecessary secular activities. You'd probably get a hundred and one opinions on what counts as "necessary".

My church at least considers Saturday the seventh day.

[diet_poison]

Huh, that's interesting. I have never encountered a church that recognizes the Sabbath on Saturday.

What is meant by "no unnecessary secular activities"? Does that mean no work, or no anything? I knew an Orthodox Jewish guy in high school who couldn't even go to parties on Saturdays. I wondered what they did all day. (And that's not even to argue the point about what is and isn't secular, like you pointed out.)

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

Seven-Day Adventist - it's even in the name. There's a few others, some of which are off-shoots of SDAs, but it's not common outside of Judaism.

Depends on what sort of parties they are, I guess.

A lot of "secular activities" lists do sound like they're lists of "anything that's fun is banned!".
