I believe you have fallen into legalism.No and here is why. There is a difference between a literal Priest of the old covenant that works for God and Gods people being a Royal Priesthood giving spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God.
Context...
- 1 Peter 2:9-10 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
No one is a part of Gods Royal Priesthood giving acceptable sacrifices to God by breaking Gods commandments. John in 1 John 3:6-10 call these people the children of the devil according to the scriptures.
- 1 Peter 2:5 you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
Take Care.
In John 5:17,18, it says, 'But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and l work.
Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.'
Had Jesus broken man's weekly sabbath law? It would appear as if he had. Yet, if one looks to God's week, rather than man's week, we can see that Jesus was still doing the work of God.
By attaching yourself to man's week, rather than God's week, you have taken up religion, and legalism, rather than the Gospel of grace.
When you rest and worship on the sabbath, do you always manage to rest the whole twenty-four hours? Do you follow the precepts as to what constitutes rest and work?
