Do YOU keep the Sabbath Holy? (church, exodus, Moses, Jesus)

[OneFormula]

I know this is almost like a rhetorical question but I need to know and let's be honest 99.99% of Christians go to Church on Sunday, but on Saturday they out shopping, washing cars, etc....not even resting and keeping the Sabbath Holy one bit.

So be honest, do YOU keep the Sabbath holy? if not, why not.

I do.

[Eusebius]

Me keep the Sabbath? Not really. Why? Because I'm not under law. That doesn't mean I don't rest but my true rest is found in Christ.

[Mr5150]

Nope. I am not an Israelite.

From Exodus 31:

12 Then the Lord said to Moses, 13 “Say to the Israelites, ‘You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy.
]14 “‘Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it is to be put to death; those who do any work on that day must be cut off from their people. 15 For six days work is to be done, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death. 16 The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant.17 It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.’”
18 When the Lord finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the covenant law, the tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God.


Also Refer to Acts 15 and see what the decision was regarding Christians keeping the Law of Moses.

And even Acts 15:20 was given prior to Israel being set aside. We are not even under that.

But I'm confused. you claim to be a Christian. Shouldn't you do as Christ did? He observed the Sabbath.

Why must Christians make up their own rules and still expect favor from The Most High?

Then you are a Gentile? Then you still should observe the Sabbath. The Law didn't change when the Israelites forsaked it and it was preached unto the Gentiles. the Laws stayed the same.

So tell me again, why don't you observe the Sabbath and claim to be a Christian?

Christ violated the Sabbath several times.

Mark 2:27 King James Version (KJV)

27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:

In His humanity Jesus was a Jew living in the age of Israel. The Church is not Israel and the Church-age is not the age of Israel. The Church is not under the Mosaic law and is not required or expected to observe the Jewish Sabbath. The Christian has a moment by moment Sabbath or rest available to him in Christ Jesus which is far superior to keeping a Sabbath day.

I do.

Ceremonial aspects of the Law such as the Sabbath and Levitical priesthood, for example are no longer binding. Sunday never replaced Saturday as the Sabbath the Lord replaced the Sabbath which was a shadow. What we have today is the Lord's Day which has been the first day of the week since the early church, not the 4th century as some falsely claim.

You are under the 10 Commandments though and you need to read the fourth one.
