The Word of God makes it clear that Sabbath observance was a sign between God and Israel:“ The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. 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 abstained from work and rested.” (Exodus 31:16-17) Are you an Israelite under the law in the Old Testament?
In Deuteronomy 5, Moses restates the Ten Commandments to the next generation of Israelites. Here, after commanding Sabbath observance in verses 12–14, Moses gives the reason the Sabbath was given to the nation Israel: “Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day.” (Deuteronomy 5:15)
----------------------------
Exodus 20, God tells Israel remember the sabbath day keep it holy. Question, what was the commandment? If it was to remember and keep holy, this would imply that sometime prior to Exodus 20 these commandment were given, the question is to who? Do you know that the Scriptures tell us that Abraham kept all God's charges, ordinances, statures, laws and commandments? I believe God gave them to them verbally, this on tablets of stones, and now stored in our minds and written in our hearts.
Gentile believers always throw the same line that it was between God and Israel. Question, aren't you part of the commonwealth of Israel or you would hesitate to respond? Remember, Israel does not become part of the commonwealth of the Gentiles, is the other way around, but one in Yeshua.
Gentile always tied up all the laws together, we are talking about the Ten Commandment. Question, are the Ten Commandment done away with for you or you will keep 9 and do away with the Sabbath day?
Again, remember and keep holy, who were they given to in the past?
Let me make this clear one is save by grace alone, through faith apart from the Law, the law (Ten Commandments) has nothing to do with the gift of God, but all to do with obedience to God. Questions, is committing adultery a sin? Is stealing a sin? Is murdering a sin? Is bearing false witness a sin? Is dishonoring your parents a sin? Is covet a sin? Is making images of gods a sins? Is bowing down to images a sin? If you answer yes to all of them then you are refraining from sin, which means that you are keeping 9 commandments and your issue is with the Sabbath day, you do not want to keep the one day God specifically sanctified and said to remember and keep holy. Unless you believe it was given to Israel.
Let me use your argument... you stated the Sabbath day was between God and Israel, my question to you... wasn't the Ten Commandment between God and Israel? Your argument is WEAK!
I will not impose the Sabbath day on the Gentiles, but I believe in their relationship with God in Yeshua, the Spirit of God will enlighten their mind with the truth of God's word, what God made clear when he first spoke, but the problem is that many Gentiles have been impressed with teachings of man which is why it is hard for them to see this truth of God's word.
