I was wondering about Mathew 5:18-19.

5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

When you read the 4Th commandment it says:

KJV - 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

My question is:

Why don't most churches worship on Saturday and why do most people feel compelled to use Sunday (the day of sun worshipers) as a day of worship and rest?

When the bible seems to me to be very clear on this. In Jesus's own words: (one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law)

Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven

This part is quite a puzzler, think I'll look it up.

For one thing, I don't quite understand "one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law...". What is a jot and what is a tittle?

Also the part about he who be called least in the kingdom of Heaven and he who will be called great in the kingdom of Heaven sounds to me as if there are different levels of Heaven. I'm certainly no bible scholar though.

The old manuscripts do designate 'heaven' as 'heavenS'. I haven't come across any details of various levels, but that certainly doesn't mean they are not found in Scriptures--I just haven't come across it yet.

I do believe there are 'levels', if you want to call them that.....perhaps based on the degree of your 'rewards'.........for doing the various things Jesus told us to do, i.e., care for the helpless, widows, children, those in need....live a godly life, praise and worship God, etc. Pray and read Scriptures to enlarge your knowledge and understanding. Faithing. Those sorts of things. I believe that some do lots more than others and their 'special rewards' will be greater than others, still.

I could be wrong, but I"m not worried about it. It doesn't figure into what I believe, how I faith, or the things I do as Jesus said to do. :)

What is a jot and what is a tittle?

Here ya go (from wikipedia):

In the Greek original translated as English "jot and tittle" is found iota and keraia.[1] Iota is the smallest letter of the Greek alphabet (¹), but since only capitals were used at the time the Greek New Testament was written (™), it probably represents the Hebrew or Aramaic yodh (•7;) which is the smallest letter of the Hebrew and Aramaic alphabets. "Keraia" is a hook or serif, possibly accents in Greek but more likely hooks on Hebrew or Aramaic letters, (”9;) versus (•9;), or additional marks such as crowns (as Vulgate apex) found in the Torah, the Five Books of Moses, which are the first five books of the Jewish Bible. A keraia is also used in Greek numerals.

Jesus says that until all pass away and fulfilled (and it is not his death and resurrection on the cross) nothing should be taken from the commandments (10 and otherwise).

You can find the time in Revelations 21.

Jesus had problems with people wanting to change the law to suit their needs, he jumped on hypocrites for changing the law that said if their children cursed their parents they should be put to death. The Hypocrites said basically, perhaps these children of ours would benefit them later and disobeyed the law.

Harsh as it may sound, Jesus knew allowing children to curse parents would cause more problems than society could later stand (see how strained our society is now). We now all reap the results. People now days say it is ok to kill unborn innocent babies, it is ok to do this and that ect...

Now days people preach that breaking the Sabbath is ok, Walmart shopping is more a convience now. People now days say Jesus made a new convenent with people, but it just ain't so. Yes, you can be saved, but you are still to practice the "law".

Levels of heaven.... lol... don't get weird on me... just a word of "fine job there AbbyNormal" would be enough to last me the first 10,000 years in heaven.. but I am sure it takes 10,000 years before you get over how awesome the place is anyway and actually say something. Jesus wants us to do his will, and teaching others that the "law" is no more might get you a "least" award.
