Whosoever doeth any work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put
to death. (Ex. 31 : 15.)
They found a man that gathered sticks upon the Sabbath day.... And
all the congregation brought him without the camp and stoned him with
stones, and he died; as the Lord commanded Moses. (Num. 15 : 32, 36.)
Jesus Broke the Sabbath and Justified the Act.
Therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him because
he had done these things on the Sabbath day. (John 5 : 16.)
At that time Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the corn; and his
disciples were a hungered, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and
to eat. But when the Pharisees saw it they said unto him, Behold,
thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the Sabbath
day. But he said unto them, ... Have ye not read in the law, how that
on the Sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath,
and are blameless? (Mat. 12 : 1, 2, 3, 5.)
Baptism Commanded.
Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. (Mat. 28 : 19.)
Baptism Not Commanded.
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel.... I thank
God that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Gaius. (1 Cor. 1 :
17, 14.)
Every Kind of Animal Allowed for Food.
Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you. (Gen. 9 : 3.)
Whatsoever is sold in the shambles that eat. (1 Cor. 10 : 25.)
There is nothing unclean of itself. (Rom. 14 : 14.)
Certain Kinds of Animals Prohibited for Food.
Nevertheless, these shall ye not eat, of them that chew the cud or
of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel and the hare, and
the coney; for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore,
they are unclean unto you. And the swine, because it divideth the hoof,
yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you; ye shall not eat of
their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass. (Deut. 14 : 7, 8.)
The Taking of Oaths Sanctioned.
If a man vow a vow unto the Lord, or swear an oath to bind his soul
with a bond, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to
all that proceedeth out of his mouth. (Num. 30 : 2.)
He that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth. (Is.
65 : 16.)
Now, therefore, swear unto me here by God.... And Abraham said,
I will swear.... There they sware both of them. (Gen. 21 : 23, 24, 31.)
Because he [God] could swear by no greater, he sware by
himself. (Heb. 6 : 13.)
And I ... made them swear by God. (Neh. 13 : 25.)
The Taking of Oaths Forbidden.
But I say unto you, swear not at all; neither by heaven for it is
God's throne; nor by the earth for it is his footstool. (Mat. 5 : 34.)

And the Lord said, It is not good that the man should be alone:
I will make him a help-meet for him. (Gen. 2 : 18.)

earth. (Gen. 1 : 28.)
