Gods Sabbath should be kept EVERY DAY!

LoveGodForever · Mar 23, 2018

Not really I have been the one posting scripture in connection to the OP here. Seems you havent been, nor do you adress any of the posts and scriptures in them that disagree with you.

Now we are up to 41+ pages and you have not posted a single scripture in support of your OP. Yet there are as you say walls of scripture that disagree with you. This should be a warning to you dear.

................

SIN is the breaking of God's Commandments (James 2:9-11; Romans 7:7; 1 John 3:4) Those who CONTINUE in UNREPENTANT SIN will NOT enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN.

................

God's 4th commandment is one of the ten (Exodus 20:8-11) If we knowingly break it when God asks us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (James 2:8-12).

If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness we are in danger of the Judgement (Hebrews 10:26-27)

Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has led many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (Matthew 15:3-9)

There is not one scripture in all of God's Word that says that God's 4th Commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to KEEP Sunday as a Holy day.

Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of men or the Word of God? Who should we believe the Words of men or the Word of God?

In times of ignorance God winks at but now ,<when a KNOWLEDGE of the truth has come> calls all men everywhere to REPENT (FOLLOW) (Acts 17:30-31).

Are you saved because of your perceived ability to obey the Sinaitic covenant or because Jesus died upon the cross for your sins?

God says to pray without ceasing, do you do this? Or only one day a week? Or only during service?

STRONGS NT 2664: καταπαύω

1. transitive, (the Sept. for הֵנִיחַ, הִשְׁבִּית) to make quiet, to cause to be at rest, to grant rest; i. e.

a. to lead to a quiet abode: τινα, Hebrews 4:8 (Exodus 33:14; Deuteronomy 3:20; Deuteronomy 5:33; Deuteronomy 12:10; Joshua 1:13, 15; 2 Chronicles 14:7; 2 Chronicles 32:22; Sir. 24:11).

2. intransitive, to rest, take rest (Hebrew נוּחַ, שָׁבַת): ἀπό τίνος, Hebrews 4:4, 10,(Genesis 2:2). In the same and other senses in Greek writings from Homer down.

Strong's Greek: 2664. καταπαύω (katapauó) -- to cause to cease, to rest

Ariel82 said:

HEBREWS 3-4 CONTEXT is referring to the creation week and God’s Sabbath and how God’s people in the wilderness did not enter into God’s rest because of UNBELIEF in his Word and DISOBEDIENCE.

Your interpretation of the scripture is the Jesus is this sabbath of eternal rest.

While it is true Jesus gives us rest by BELIEVING and FOLLOWING him (Matthews 11:8), NOWHERE in God’s WORD does it say that Jesus is a SABBATH and as shown previously (POST # 790 linked CLICK ME) the SABBATH of God’s 4th Commandment is only ever referred to as the SEVENTH DAY of the week.

In Jesus we rest by FAITH, but Jesus is NOT a SABBATH that he commands all mankind to keep as it is a HOLY DAY. Jesus is NOT a SABBATH he is the Creator of the SABBATH. God's Sabbath is the 4th Commandment of the 10 Commandments. Those that break it and teach others to do like any of the other 10 Commandment commit SIN. It is SIN that will keep ALL who practice it OUT of God's KINGDOM.

HEBREWS 4:9 SABBATISMOS

You do know my friend that Vines is a man and in his dictionary he is using his own interpretation of God's Word and the passage you quoted from Vines is NOT God's Word right?

You seem to be mixing up two different words used for REST; sabbatismos, Heb. 4:9 and katapausis rest (Heb. 3:11, 18; 4:1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, and 11),

“Sabbath rest” (sabbatismos, Heb. 4:9). Sabbatismos rest is to be distinguished from the more frequently used katapausis rest (Heb. 3:11, 18; 4:1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, and 11), which means “resting place” or “calming.” Sabbatismos, which is derived from either the noun sabbaton (Strong’s) or from the verb sabbatizō (Vine’s and Moulton’s), means “Sabbath observance” or “Sabbath kind of rest” (Bauer, Arndt, & Gingrich). The verb form sabbatizō is is used in the LXX to mean “keep the Sabbath” (Exo. 16:30; Lev. 23:32; 26:34; 2 Chr. 36:21)

This is why in many bible translations use the word REST in Hebrews 4:9 is translated SABBATH rest or a keeping of the Sabbath...........

New International Version
There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God;

English Standard Version
So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God,

Berean Study Bible
So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God.

Darby Bible Translation

Weymouth New Testament
It follows that there still remains a sabbath rest for the people of God.

World English Bible
There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God.

Young's Literal Translation
there doth remain, then, a sabbatic rest to the people of God,

The GREEK Words for Sabbath are sabbaton and sabatismos; The origin of sabbatismos is from sabbaton. Let’s look at the meanings…

1, SABBATON;

Strong's Concordance;
σάββατον; SABBATON; sab'-bat-on Of Hebrew origin [H7676]; the Sabbath (that is, Shabbath), or day of weekly repose from secular avocations (also the observance or institution itself); by extension a se'nnight, that is, the interval between two Sabbaths; likewise the plural in all the above applications: - sabbath (day), week.

2. SABBATISMOS

1. Strongs Concordence; SABBATISMOS: a sabbath rest; Original Word: σαββατισμός, οῦ, ὁ; Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine; Transliteration: sabbatismos; Phonetic Spelling: (sab-bat-is-mos')
Short Definition: a Sabbath rest; Main Definition: a keeping of the Sabbath, a Sabbath rest.

2, NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin from a derivation of sabbaton; Definition a sabbath rest NASB Translation Sabbath rest (1).

3, GREEK Lexicon - a Sabbath rest; σαββατισμός sabbatismos a sabbath rest as a derivative of sabbaton

4, GREEK Interlinear - So therefore there remains a sabbath rest to the people of God (This is the literal GREEK translation of the Hebrews 4:9)

5, Abbot Smiths Greek Lexicon of the New Testament *†σαββατισμός, -οῦ, ὁ (<σαββατίζω, TO KEEP THE SABBATH, Exo 16:30, al.), A KEEPING SABBATH, A SABBATH REST: metaph., as in Mishna (Zorell, s.v.), Heb 4:9.†

SABBATISMOS is taken from SABBATON meaning THE REST GIVEN IN GOD'S SEVENTH DAY SABBATH.

The CONTEXT of HEBREWS 4 is the SEVENTH DAY OF THE CREATION WEEK and how God's people did not enter into it because of the disobedience and unbelief. There remains a SABBATH REST therefore REST to the people of GOD is referring to those who BELIEVE and OBEY God's WORD enter into HIS REST.

The REST being spoken of here is God's SABBATH DAY'S REST through BELIEVEING and FOLLOWING God's WORD.

God's WORD also includes the 4th Commandment which is to be BELIEVED and OBEYED through FAITH that works by LOVE just like all the other 10.

LOVE is the fulfilling of God's LAW in those who BELIEVE (Romans 13:8-10; Romans 8:1-4; Romans 3:31). WE have REST by BELIEVING and FOLLOWING God’s WORD from Jesus (Matthew 11:8). However NOWHERE in God’s WORD does it say Jesus is a Sabbath. The ONLY definition of God’s Sabbath of the 4th Commandment is that it is the SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK (Genesis 2:1-3; Exodus 20:8-11; Matthew 12:8; Hebrews 3-4).

Hope this helps.

Your translating the Hebrew word REST not SABBATH. It is the rest of the Sabbath (SEVENTH DAY)

It is actually spelt SHABATH (not SHABBAT) The HEBREW WORD MEANING is ..

H7673 שָׁבַת shabath (shaw-ɓath') v.to repose, i.e. to cease from exertion.{used in many implied relations (causative, figurative or specific)}[a primitive root] KJV: (cause to, let, make to) cease, celebrate, cause (make) to fail, keep sabbath, suffer to be lacking, leave, put away (down), (make to) rest, rid, still, take away.

So you can quote this if you like still does not mean what you are saying it is the SABBATH REST that is the REST relating to the SABBATH DAY which God's says is the SEVENTH DAY of the week. KEEP SABBATH REST. As we should just the way God's Commanded us.

................

SIN is the breaking of God's Commandments (James 2:9-11; Romans 7:7; 1 John 3:4) Those who CONTINUE in UNREPENTANT SIN will NOT enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN.

................

God's 4th commandment is one of the ten (Exodus 20:8-11) If we knowingly break it when God asks us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (James 2:8-12).

If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness we are in danger of the Judgement (Hebrews 10:26-27)

Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has led many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (Matthew 15:3-9)

There is not one scripture in all of God's Word that says that God's 4th Commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to KEEP Sunday as a Holy day.

Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of men or the Word of God? Who should we believe the Words of men or the Word of God?

In times of ignorance God winks at but now ,<when a KNOWLEDGE of the truth has come> calls all men everywhere to REPENT (FOLLOW) (Acts 17:30-31).

Bumping again for those who do not know God's Sabbath REST. None enter God's rest if they do not BELIEVE God's WORD or practice SIN.

SABBATH REST

Let's talk about REST....

Isaiah 57
20, But the wicked (SINNERS) are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
21, There is no peace, said my God, to the wicked.

GOD'S SABBATH REST

Hebrews 3
8, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9, When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
10, Why I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
11, So I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.
12, Take heed, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13, But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14, For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end;
15, While it is said, To day if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
16, For some, when they had heard, did provoke: however, not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17, But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
18, And to whom swore he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
19, So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

WHAT REST ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE?

Hebrews 4
1, Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2, For to us was the gospel preached, as well as to them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3, For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4, For he spoke in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
5, And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

God's REST is the SEVENTH DAY SABBATH REST OF CREATION (v4-5). Those who BELIEVE GOD's WORD enter into God's SABBATH REST as GOD does on the SEVENTH DAY of the week.

6, Seeing therefore it remains that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
7, Again, he limits a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8, For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9, There remains a SABBATH REST to the people of God.
10, For he that is entered into his rest (SABBATH REST), he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11, Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

In times of ignorance God winks at but now ,<when a KNOWLEDGE of the truth has come> calls all men everywhere to REPENT (FOLLOW) (Acts 17:30-31).

....................

Now let's compare Matthew 11:28-30 with Hebrews 4.....

Mattehew 11
28, Come to me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29, Take my yoke on you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest to your souls.
30, For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

STRONGS GREEK REST meaning; G373 ἀναπαύω anapauo (a-na-pav'-ō) v.
1. (reflexively) to repose, to rest.
2. (literally or figuratively) to be exempt, to remain.
3. (by implication) to refresh.
[from G303 and G3973]
KJV: take ease, refresh, (give, take) rest
Root(s): G303, G3973

G303 ἀνά ana (a-na') prep.
1. (properly) up.
2. (by extension, used distributively) amidst or severally, etc.
3. (by implication, as a prefix) (it often means) repetition (again), intensity, reversal, etc.

5. (of combined motion) back.
6. (with G3319) through (the midst).

G3973 παύω pauo (pav'-ō) v.
to stop, i.e. restrain, quit, desist, come to an end.
{transitively or intransitively}
[a primary verb (“pause”)]
KJV: cease, leave, refrain

....................

Now compare this GREEK word used here to the one used in Hebrews 4:9...

Hebrews 4
9, There remains a SABBATH REST to the people of God.

The GREEk Word used here is different.

STRONGS GREEK/HEBERW REST meaning of Hebrews 4:9;
G4520 σαββατισμός sabbatismos (sab-ba-tiz-mos') n.
1. a “sabbatism.”
2. (figuratively) the repose of Christianity (as a type of heaven).

[from a derivative of G4521] σάββατον sabbaton (saɓ'-ɓa-ton) n.
1. the Sabbath (i.e. Shabbath).
2. a day of weekly repose from secular avocations.
3. the observance or institution itself.
4. (by extension) a week, i.e. the interval between two Sabbaths.
5. likewise the plural in all the above applications.

[of Hebrew origin (H7676)]
שַׁבָּת shabbath (shab-bawth') n-e.
1. intermission, a period of temporary rest.
2. (specifically) the Sabbath, the seventh day being the day of rest.

[intensive from H7673]
H7673 שָׁבַת shabath (shaw-ɓath') v.
to repose, i.e. to cease from exertion.
{used in many implied relations (causative, figurative or specific)}
[a primitive root] KJV: (cause to, let, make to) cease, celebrate, cause (make) to fail, keep sabbath, suffer to be lacking, leave, put away (down), (make to) rest, rid, still, take away.

....................

As you can see from the different GREEK words used in Matthew 11:28 and Hebrews 4:9 both words are indeed different and have a different application.

Both are similar referring to rest but the word REST in Hebrews 4:9 in is reference "Sabbatismos" which is the "REST"specifically found in God's Sabbath the 4th Commandment that refers right back the Hebrew WORD used for rest in Genesis 2.

Let's look at the origin of the Sabbath and God's 4th Commandment...

Genesis 2
1, Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2, And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3, And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

[intensive from H7673]
H7673 שָׁבַת shabath (shaw-ɓath') v.
to repose, i.e. to cease from exertion.
{used in many implied relations (causative, figurative or specific)}
[a primitive root] KJV: (cause to, let, make to) cease, celebrate, cause (make) to fail, keep sabbath, suffer to be lacking, leave, put away (down), (make to) rest, rid, still, take away.

The above HEBREW meaning is the base root of Sabbatismos from the GREEK word used in Hebrews 4:9 which is referring right back to the origin of God's Sabbath in Genesis 2 and God's 4th Commandment in Exodus 20:8-11.

The meraning here is the REST that comes specifically from BELIEVING and OBEYING Gods WORD' from God's 4th Commandment Sabbath. This is the SABBATH rest according to the commandment.

You have no peace because you do not BELIEVE and FOLLOW God's WORD. We ONLY have rest in Christ if we BELIEVE and FOLLOW Jesus. Those who are still in their SINS do not KNOW God and are like the troubled see that have no peace.

Isaiah 57
20, But the wicked (SINNERS) are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
21, There is no peace, said my God, to the wicked.

1 John 2
3, And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4, He that said, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

Those who CONTINUE in KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN will NOT enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN.

.......................

God's 4th commandment is one of the ten (Exodus 20:8-11) If we knowingly break it when God asks us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (James 2:8-12). If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness we are in danger of the Judgement (Hebrews 10:26-27)

Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has led many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (Matthew 15:3-9)

There is not one scripture in all of God's Word that says that God's 4th Commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to KEEP Sunday as a Holy day.

Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of men or the Word of God? Who should we believe the Words of men or the Word of God?

In times of ignorance God winks at but now ,<when a KNOWLEDGE of the truth has come> calls all men everywhere to REPENT (FOLLOW) (Acts 17:30-31).

Let's take a look.

1) Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us (the people of the writers day and us) of entering into his rest (the Gospel), any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel (His Rest) preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. For we which have believed do enter into rest (His Rest; the Gospel), as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest (the Gospel; the rest we have when Christ Jesus is our Life): although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. (the Gospel Rest has been available since Eden)

4) For HE (GOD) spake in a certain place (the giving of the Commandments on Mt. Sinia) of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

5,6) And in this place again, (GOD speaks of the Seventh Day) If they shall enter into my rest (the Gospel; the rest we have when Jesus is our life). Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein (the Gospel, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in (the Gospel) because of unbelief (obstinacy, obstinate opposition to the divine will):

If we receive the Gospel Rest in Christ GOD is calling us to the Word that HE spoke of the Seventh Day on Mt Sinia. The Gospel. Our rest in HIM and HE in us enables us now to partake of the Seventh Day Sabbath's hallowedness.

7) Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day (Now), after so long a time; as it is said, To day (now) if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

Dabid's (beloved's) Word's though GOD where and are a call to repentance; GOD's Rest in Christ. For unto us was the Gospel (His Rest) preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

For (because of the word just shared in Psalm) if Jesus (Joshua leading them into Canaan) had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day (constant call to the Gospel).

The leading them into the promise land was a symbol of what they already had available to them. After the forty years of roaming and seeing GOD's loving and guiding hand they were still only willing to receive the physical blessings and not the Spiritual; HIS Rest in Christ.

9) There remaineth (present tense) therefore a Sabbath keeping to the people of God.
This verse brings us back to verse 4 And in this place again, (GOD speaks of the Seventh Day) If they shall enter into my rest (the Gospel; the rest we have when Jesus is our life).

10) For he that is entered into his Rest (the Gospel), he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

"As" is direct Comparison. There is no way around that. So it is A Ceasing from work like GOD did from HIS. It is the calling to those who entered in their rest (the Gospel rest in Jesus in GOD) to cease from their work AS GOD did. GOD ceased from HIS PHYSICAL work on the Seventh Day. GOD is already and forever Spirit. So HE did not enter enter into any Spiritual rest we do. He is our Spiritual rest. So we in harmony with Christ and the FATHER cease from our work on the Seventh Day as HE did. The Day HE hallowed (set apart) and blessed.

So what are our instructions in regards to keeping the Sabbath?

Because we have received the Gospel; the new heart and mind through Christ Jesus; old things having passed away, all things being new and of GOD. We Simply cease from our own works as GOD did from HIS. He simply rested from work; so we rest as HE did.

(Heb 4:1-10 KJV)

You are either grafted into Christ or you are not, the test of if you are grafted in is NOT Sabbath observance on Saturday.

It's the presence of the Holy spirit.

Do you have the Holy spirit?

Does you He lead you every day or just on Sat?

No one has God's Spirit if they are breaking God's Commandments.

Acts 5:32, And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to them that obey him.

1 John 2:4, He that says, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

ONLY God's WORD is true and we should BELIEVE and follow him who calls us in LOVE to LOVE another.

SIN is the breaking of God's Commandments (James 2:9-11; Romans 7:7; 1 John 3:4)

Those who CONTINUE in UNREPENTANT SIN will NOT enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN.

Hebrews 4 rest is talking about the Promised land, not the seventh day of the week.

If you "enter His rest" you are a citizen of the Heavenly Jerusalem. You have been given the Holy spirit, you are a priest, an Ambassador for Christ. Your body has been made into a holy temple for God. You no longer strive to work to obtain heaven. You rest in the work Jesus did upon the cross to give you that free gift of atonement for sins.

It is clear that the Sabbath spoken in Hebrews 4 is MORE than a weekly observance.

Jesus worked on the Sabbath.

God's priests work on the Sabbath and are held blameless.

Are you one of God's priests of the New Covenant or are you a child of Hagar under the laws given on mount sinai?

Ariel82 · Mar 23, 2018

No one understands the Bible without the Holy spirit. They have a veil when they read the Bible and see only the old covenant at Sinai and NOT the New Covenant given by Jesus.

You have Today a choice:

Follow the letter of the law or follow the Holy spirit.

Which do you chose?

Ariel82 · Mar 23, 2018

There are bible verses that clearly say that Jejsus worked on the Sabbath. The priests PROFANED the Sabbath and were held blameless.

It should be obvious to anyone that "keeping the Sabbath holy" is NOT about ceasing all physical labor.

.it's about ceasing all fleshly labors and being lead by the Holy spirit.

Which should be done every day.

God is okay if you start with baby steps...one day a week. Then maybe 2 hours each day plus one day a week. Eventually He will lead you to be able to pray without ceasing and follow Him every day and every moment of your life.

It should be the goal we are running towards...eternally resting in God and doing His will always and not our own.

Will you press on to make God the center of your life every day?

Or will you sit down in the middle of the track
Or spend six days wandering off track and one seeking to find His path again?

Ariel82 · Mar 23, 2018

God's commands that WE SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD. If we SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD, we don't have to worry about food or clothes because God will provide.

Keeping the Sabbaths has ALWAYS ABOUT TRUSTING GOD TO PROVIDE even if we don't work and labor for those things.

The New Covenant doesn't just say stop working, it say start working For God as Jesus did even on the Sabbath. Learn TO work for God every day.

The priests profane the Sabbath and are held blameless.

Are you a priest of the New Covenant?

Do you do God's work only one day a week or do you seek to do His will every day?

Do you try and keep the Letter of the law or do you follow the Spirit of God?

Is your body a holy temple for God?

Yes, two Laws. The "Law of Faith" that Abraham obeyed, and the "Law of Works" that God gave specifically for the Levites, the Levitical Priesthood which Abraham didn't have because it wasn't "ADDED" until 430 years later. ( Gal. 3:17-19 Rom. 3:27)

Of the "Law of works" which instructed the performance of sacrificial "works" by Levite Priests for the remission of sins, Paul said:

28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

But of the Law of faith that the world will be judged by Paul said;

13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

The Jews were still pushing the Levitical Priesthood ceremonial, sacrificial "Works of the Law" for the remission of sins. This is a Biblical fact that you seem hell bent to ignore.

2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Jesus separated these two Laws, Paul separated these two Laws, the Law and Prophets separated these two laws, why can't you?

Being 'under the law' is referring to trying to be JUSTIFIED by the law, not simply observing the Sabbaths and Feasts.

This one single truth escapes the church and is the cause for it's misguided battle against the law of Moses.

If observing the law and not trying to be justified by it is anathema, then Paul himself is accursed.

Gods Sabbath should be kept EVERY DAY!
