Father, Son of God ...two attributes of one God. He remains a Spirit without mother or father beginning of days or end of Spirit life and not a man as us.
God is not a man as us nor is he a lamb. The one time demonstration of the lamb of God that was slain from the foundation of the world the six days he did work.. Today requires that we know him no more forever more after the flesh.(as that seen) Again the one time demonstration of the actual spiritual work (not seen) of the Son of God (the Holy Spirit) who temporally dwelt in the son of man is over.
2Corinthians 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

I read this in the book of Daniel and felt its truth in my heart.
"He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time"
I think someone asked me if I were born again, If being born again means that I have received a great Revelation from God then NO,
If it means understanding my sins and repenting them to my lord, wanting to live in his grace and to understand what he wishes from me then YES.
What ever label any one wishes to put on me is their label, If I am worthy to enter the kingdom of heaven it will not depend on a label but how I give my life to the Lord.

Lamentations 2:17 (KJV)
Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed;
and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
The Lord hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded
in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused thine enemy
to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries.
Ezekiel 18:31 (KJV)in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused thine enemy
to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries.
Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed;
and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Proverbs 9:6 (KJV)
Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
[h=3]Ezekiel 18:23 (KJV)[/h]
Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God:
and not that he should return from his ways, and live?
and not that he should return from his ways, and live?

The Sabbath as well as the Old Covenant was a shadow of the real substance which is Christ Himself as our Sabbath rest.
Here is a visual to help us out with this concept.
This is the Sabbath and the law of Moses - it is just a shadow of something.
Now here is a picture of the "real thing" which is Christ being the true Sabbath rest for all of us "who believe".
Does the mother and father bring out the ultrasound and "observe" that now that the real baby is here?
This is exactly what it is like with the Sabbath. Jesus is our Sabbath - which is resting in all that He has already done for us at the cross and resurrection and in that we cease from our own works - like trying to keep the law of Moses.
All of the law and prophets speak of Him. He is the Alpha and Omega.

Exactly what are you trying to Read into that verse? ? ?
Here look at it in a newer English Translations:
2 Corinthians 5:16-17 (NIV)
[SUP]16 [/SUP] So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.
[SUP]17 [/SUP] Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
2 Corinthians 5:16-17 (NCV)
[SUP]16 [/SUP] From this time on we do not think of anyone as the world does. In the past we thought of Christ as the world thinks, but we no longer think of him in that way.
[SUP]17 [/SUP] If anyone belongs to Christ, there is a new creation. The old things have gone; everything is made new!
2 Corinthians 5:16-17 (HCSB)
[SUP]16 [/SUP] From now on, then, we do not know anyone in a purely human way. Even if we have known Christ in a purely human way, yet now we no longer know ⌊Him in this way⌋.
[SUP]17 [/SUP] Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, ⌊he is⌋ a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come.
Are you sure you ever really KNEW HIM?
Matthew 7:21-23 (NKJV)
[SUP]21 [/SUP] "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
[SUP]22 [/SUP] Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?'
[SUP]23 [/SUP] And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'
Matthew 25:10-12 (NKJV)
[SUP]10 [/SUP] And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.
[SUP]11 [/SUP] Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us!'
[SUP]12 [/SUP] But he answered and said, 'Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.'
1 John 2:3-5 (NKJV)
[SUP]3 [/SUP] Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.
[SUP]4 [/SUP] He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
[SUP]5 [/SUP] But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.

The sabbath DAY has never been a shadow, it is a part of a complete week and as real today as on the DAY it was made....still the same holy time. It is GOD's holy time and was never handed to Moses to be abolished or given to man to do with/in as they please. The reason it was made for man is for us to SHARE in it With God thus including us in HIS holiness. We are to be holy as God our Father is holy and Jesus our living walking example is holy !

In creation week God instituted two things. Marriage and the Sabbath. Many won´t dispute that God had institute marriage between man and woman. However, many forget that the Sabbath is part of creation. There were no Jew in the garden of Eden. God gave the Sabbath to all of us, to all kindreds, nations, tongue and people. God doesn't force His will on us. He will give us the evidence and also allow for there to be doubt. It is our privilege to choose what you will believe.

I do not think, you understand the context of the scripture you are making reference too. And we need to understand the audience to which Paul was speaking. What was Paul addressing in the chapter? Once we know the background we can easily identify what Paul is trying to communicate. We can't just take scripture and look on the surface and make an assumption. Go deeper is my encouragement. Be good students

You deliberately left out one.
NOR DID HE TELL US TO KEEP THE SABBATH.

another esteemeth every day alike.
Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.

[SUP]5 [/SUP] One person decides that one day is holier than another.
Another person decides that all days are the same.
Every person must make his own decision.
