There is no verse in all the Bible that tells us to keep the first day or any of days 1-6 holy in the same way as the sabbath. There is no verse in all the Bible that says that God ever made days 1-6 holy, if there is then I would keep that day. While we are to live in Christ and living the life He wants there is no verse telling us they were made Holy
There is more than one verse telling us the 7th day has been made holy that God has blessed it. I ask all wh do not keep the Sabbath of the Lord to show me a verse that says God took away His blessing of the 7th day.

Those who believe in keeping the Sabbath legally (esp. SDA) keep talking about the Ten Commandments, but they forget that more righteous commandments were given to us in the NT.
As for the Sabbath day (according to SDA/sabbath believers), in which we are supposed to do only good things; can we do bad things in the rest of the 6 days? If you say that we should not work, then what according to you is 'work'? Then the housewives should not cook nor even heat the food to eat because that is the work they have been doing all through the week and now if they continue doing the same thing, what difference does it make for them? What about a minister of God who does nothing but to serve God: what difference does the sabbath day make for him? What about the people who are bed ridden with sickness and the prisoners, who are accused falsely and are imprisoned for years? What about the people like us in India, where 99% of the offices work on Saturdays and we are not supposed to take leaves?
The Ten Commandments:
1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
Matthew 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me..................(This also is idolatry in the sight of God)
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. .......(We shall be saved if we call upon His name, leave alone taking His name in vain)
4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Matthew 12:5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
Matthew 12:8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day. .....(like everyday, the Lord Jesus is Lord even of the sabbath day) Jesus' disciples went on to pluck the corn (which was unlawful), yet they were blameless and defended by the Lord.
5. Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Matthew 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
6. Thou shalt not kill.
1 John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
8. Thou shalt not steal.
Mark 7:21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
Mark 7:22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
Mark 7:23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
..............even the thought of it is evil
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Matthew 19:19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
Matthew 19:19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Hebrews 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
Hebrews 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
Hebrews 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
Hebrews 8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

Hebrews 8:13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
It is His covenant and not ours. He gives us according to our ability. He does not change but man changes and therefore God deals with man according to man's ability. He led Abraham by faith, Moses by law, David by might, Solomon by riches and glory....and so on. That which was given through Moses was according to his righteousness and that which was given through Jesus was according to the righteousness of God. Which is the one you want to follow? You want to serve God only on Sabbath or everyday? Do you want to allow yourself to do good only on Sabbath or all the days? Do you not want to serve God day and night? Do you want to serve God only on Sabbath while the accuser keeps accusing your brethren day and night before God? If this is not what you mean, then what do you mean by keeping the Sabbath? What do you mean by keeping it holy? What do you mean by observing the Sabbath? What do you mean by 'no work should be done'?
May the Lord bless you all.

Last night on my pillow I was thinking about the day, and it occurred to me your remarks on no eve and no morning for the seventh day. This will be true when New Jerusalem is established, as is written in Revelation here below:
Rev 21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
Rev 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
Rev 21:24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
Rev 21:25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
Rev 21:26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
Rev 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
My question is, if this is your reference, why did you not say it as it is?

I may not have said it openly but I meant the same. I kept telling you that the day in heaven would never end and we would be living with the Bridegroom, our Adam, Jesus Christ there in the garden of Eden where there is no night and there is no passing of the day. There will be no works to do anymore, no pain, we will ever rejoice and serve Him day and night singing praises unto Him. This is how I see Heb 4. So let us all labour to enter into THIS rest. This is our Eternal Sabbath, Eternal Rest which will never end. The OT is the shadow of the things to come.
May the good Lord bless you and keep you.

The sabbath was not made just for the Jew
Mar_2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man (mankind), and not man for the sabbath:
Act_18:4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
Act 17:2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
1Co 4:15 For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
1Co 4:16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
You will not find anyone braking the sabbath in the NT. And don't say Jesus because he never broke any of the laws he never sinned.

Notice the city dos not need light. This dos not mean the whole earth will have light.
Isa 66:22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
Isa 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
Clearly this is the new earth.Even in the new earth we have sabbath here and mouths

Some people are saying the Two Laws of Love are not to be observed because when Christ, Yeshua, taught these laws He had not yet been crucified. Why would our Savior have left these teachings behind if they were not valid? He was not crazy; He is our God.
This teaching is creeping in to the members of the Body of Jesus, Yeshua, by means of false teachings purporting the Ten Commandments, which fit quite rightly in the Two Great Laws, are being taught to be strictly Mosaic and not teachings of righteous conduct in the sight of our Father, Yahweh. Yes, we are free of the law because we are counted righteous, even when our sinful nature should overpower us and we sin. We worship Yahweh, God with our hearts, minds and souls, but our flesh is yet sinful until that good and great Day of the Lord when we shall be perfected. Not only shall we be perfected, we will be just like Jesus, Yeshua, what a glorious day that will be, amen.
1Ti 6:20 O Timothy, guard that which is committed unto thee, turning away from the profane babblings and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called;
1Ti 6:21 which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you.
2Pe 2:1 But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there shall be false teachers, who shall privily bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

I am least concerned with what happens to the rest of the earth. I'll be with the Lamb who is my Light so I'll never see darkness.
From sabbath to sabbath and new moon to new moon means all the time. If according to the verse you quoted, we'll have remembrance of the Sabbath as you do here then there should also be new moons. While, in this city, we see that there'll be no sun then how will moon be there?

I agree with you and I don't think I ever said sabbath was for the Jews only.
If you happened to go to some church on a Sunday to preach, will it mean that you observed your Sabbath on Sunday? The verses you quoted are very simple to understand. The people (esp. the Jews) gathered in synagogues on Sabbath days and so Paul went and discussed about the word of God with them. I don't see that it means Paul kept or observed the Sabbath. If you know a place in the Bible which says the gentiles gathered together on a sabbath day, then please show me.

You know why Jesus is the God of the dead
Deuteronomy 32:39 (KJV)
See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
He will make alive
Keep this in mind
Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 (KJV)
For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. [6] Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.
The dead know nothing until the Lord make them alive
Deuteronomy 32:39 (KJV)
See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

Man realizes the importance of setting one day aside to worship God. Nevertheless, he has tried to change God's set time and law of Sabbath worship.
"And he shall speak great words against the most High...and think to change times and laws..." (Daniel 7:25).
This change went into effect on March 7, 321 A.D., by Emperor Constantine of Rome. Constantine, "...enjoined Sunday rest from labor, except agricultural" (Encyclopedia Britannica, Vol. 21, 1945).
It is even recorded that Constantine used violence to enforce his new law, because the seventh day Sabbath was still being observed by true servants of God.
Now if it would seem blasphemous for people to change their day of worship today, how do you think God felt when man changed his?

Many religious leaders realize that the days of the week have not changed.
They claim that the Sabbath day changed from the seventh day (Saturday) to the first day (Sunday) in commemoration of the resurrection of Jesus.
This theory, along with Constantine's law, is the reason why most of the world has adopted Sunday as the new Sabbath.
Nevertheless, not one preacher or Constantine has ever substantiated this claim with the holy bible.

Another common theory is "Saturday is the Jewish Sabbath and Sunday is the Christian Sabbath." However, the bible speaks of only one Sabbath, the seventh day, and it is called The Lord's Sabbath.
"Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; Ye shall do no work therein: it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings" (Leviticus 23:3)
. There was no Christian or Jew when God instituted his Sabbath.
"And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested..." (Genesis 2:3).
Adam and Eve (created on the sixth day) were the only people around when God rested on the seventh day.

Exo 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
Exo 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
This dos not say "But A seventh day is the sabbath" It says "But the 7th day is the sabbath" You could not "remember"the day of creation if everybody made their own. Plus if the sabbath is a day to come together then you by no means could come together if everyone picked their own day. Think about it! The bible teaches we should not make our own fire. What happen to the two brothers of the high Priest when they made their own fire for the alter...well it did not end well. Satan from the start only changed one word of God in the garden God said Gen_2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. And the snake said Gen_3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: he only added one word to what God said and wow that was a bad turn out!!! We need take heed not to add the "A" in the place of "the". If I asked you to grab a chair that means any chair in the room. But if I told you to grab the chair I mean a specific chair right?Exo_20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

This day continued to be special to God and over two thousand years later he ordered man to observe it (Exodus 20:8-11). Yes the Lord truly intends for man to follow the example he set by honoring the seventh day. Therefore, he included it in his "ten commandments." Observing the Sabbath is just as important as "thou shalt not kill" and "thou shalt not steal" (Exodus 20:13, 15).
You cannot delete, change, or choose to obey one law over another. "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all" (James 2:10).
Remember, they are not called the nine commandments. Though he has tried man cannot change the law of the Almighty and "Judgment day" will prove this.
