I do, or least I try...I rest, don't make anyone or animal to work! I will not go to any place I would have to have someone work! If I am out of something, I will wait. I pray, and sing. From Friday sunset, to Saturday sunset. I don't burn fire in my home, at this time either! Food is prepared before hand, and dishes can wait until Sunday!..

Where does it say it is not? From what I have seen, Sabbath is forever!..
Christ has paid for all our sins, and believers have been saved entirely by grace, so we should not let ourselves be intimidated by leagalistic stipulations (e.g., "Sabbath Days").
[SUP]14 [/SUP]Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
[SUP]15 [/SUP]And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
[SUP]17 [/SUP]Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ(Colossians 2:14-17).
In the Old Testament people could not perfectly keep the spiritual laws,the moral laws,laws of love,perfectly,so God had them do physical ordinances to keep right with Him.
When Christ came and we can have the Spirit,we can keep the moral laws,laws of love,perfectly,by the Spirit,and do not have to go by the physical ordinances of Israel.The physical ordinances were contrary to us,which means they had no impact on us for a spiritual relationship with God.

I recall the question asked was, "Where does it say it is not?". . . . . The verse provided states to not judge another based off of those things. It does not state that is something not to be observed. And the passage is correct, one should not judge based on the days of observance that goes both ways, those who oberserve and those who do not.
Do you celebrate/observe Pentecost?

Heb 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
Heb 4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
The Sabbath day the Jews kept was a shadow of the one in Hebrews. Observing that Sabbath is like eating the shadow of a hamburger... you can't do it. I hope that makes sense. If a person feels like they are pleasing God by keeping the Sabbath day then they have not ceased from their own works and have therefor entered into that rest.

And where it appears as Paul teaches against the law, he is teaching against using/following the law for justification of salvation, he's not teaching against the law itself.
The law cannot save someone, that's basically all was teaching on when it came to the law.
For some reason, over the years that got turned into that Paul was teaching against the law itself, which is not the case otherwise he's very contradicting in his words when he calls the law holy and good.

As the other nine commandments have counterparts under the new covenant and are mentioned in the New Testament, Sandy, whereas the fourth century commandment doesn't and isn't, we can choose to observe that day or any other. It is entirely up to us. This is what God's word (Paul, for example) says.
What have you seen that tells you Sabbath is forever?

The Sabbath was meant for everyone.

I'm not saying those who do not observe it are not blessed, but the the blessings from observance of these days still exists.
The majority of Sabbath/Feast keepers I've met, doing in obedience of the word of God.
It does not say anywhere in the bible that the law is gone and done away with, there's not 1 spot.
There are plenty of spot stating that the law is not a ground for salvation, which is something I agree with.
I do not believe it makes someone automatically legalistic if they are an observer of these days.
Now if one said person starts judging and basing salvation off of these days, then yes they are being legalistic.
Again, I've witnessed blessings within the observance of these days through friends and family members. Blessings only come from the Most High, the enemy only knows how to curse.

Exodus, Leviticus, and I believe Deuteronomy all have scriputre on the Sabbath and God states for it to be an everlasting statute. To be observed through all generations.
If God inteded for the observance of Sabbath to end, I'm sure He wouldn't of use the language of saying to observe it through all generations.

Oh, and the part of being judged by meat, drink and holy days..I believe is for when you see man following tradition, you do not have to do the same when it contradicts Gods words. I am judge by many, because I will not eat bacon like the rest. I get judged by how I dress, etc etc..but who's judgement do I worry about?

And don't get me wrong, I agree with what your saying.
We can simply have a sabbath day any day you want to, because sabbath is just rest.
We can worship any day we want to, we can gather together any day we want to.
But that does not change that there is only 1 day known as "The Sabbath".
And that doesn't change that there are Sabbath's within the 7 feasts.
I believe there is a difference between a sabbath, and the Sabbath.
That's why sometimes I'll capitalize if I'm talking about the Sabbath, and lower case if I'm just talking about a sabbath used as a normal day of rest.

Putting time aside to come into God's presence will always result in blessing. If we draw near to God he will draw near to us. There is no bible logic in saying though, that this is therefore a stipulation for everyone under the new covenant. This idea is completely foreign to the New Testament and is "Jesus-plus" teaching.
