Sounds like a work of law rather than spiritual rest.
i wonder if you worship idols hmmm sound like a work of law also

There are 7 other mandatory Sabbaths under the Old Covenant: All punishable by death for disobedience. They carried the same importance as the 7[SUP]th[/SUP] day Sabbath. If you’re going to keep one you have to keep them all among other observances that go with them.
The Day of Atonement
“It is a Sabbath of solemn rest for you, and you shall afflict your souls. It is a statute forever” (a Sabbath)
Feast of Trumpets
‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a Sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it;’” (a Sabbath)
Feast of Unleavened Bread (seven days you must eat unleavened bread)
- On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it (a Sabbath).
- The seventh day shall be a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it. (a Sabbath)
The Feast of Weeks
“And you shall proclaim on the same day that it is a holy convocation to you. You shall do no customarywork on it. It shall be a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.” (a Sabbath)
The Feast of Tabernacles
- “On the first day there shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it.” (a Sabbath)
- “On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation, and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. It is a sacred assembly, and you shall do no customary work on it.” (a Sabbath)
It is quite obvious that you have no real knowledge of Moses and the Levitical System.
Leviticus 25
The Lord said to Moses at Mount Sinai,2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land I am going to give you, the land itself must observe a sabbath to the Lord.3 For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops.4 But in the seventh year the land is to have a year of sabbath rest, a sabbath to the Lord. Do not sow your fields or prune your vineyards.5 Do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the grapes of your untended vines. The land is to have a year of rest.6 Whatever the land yields during the sabbath yearwill be food for you—for yourself, your male and female servants, and the hired worker and temporary resident who live among you,7 as well as for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. Whatever the land produces may be eaten
Leviticus 23:32
It is a day of sabbath rest (Not Friday night to Saturday Night) for you, and you must deny yourselves. From the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening you are to observe your sabbath."
I would suggest that if it is so simple then I am sure you are keeping these Sabbath laws which were clearly established by Moses as well.
Are you keeping them or not? If not then by your own definition, you are a sinner as a Sabbath breaker. Now I can imagine that your next move here will be to say that the above mentioned Sabbaths don't apply. To that I will ask where is this stated in the New Testament.
Make sure that you keep these Sabbaths as you feel they will some how keep you right with God.

is it Saturday all around the world?![]()
Act 15:19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
Act 15:20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
Act 15:21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day
Why would the 1st century believers/Gentiles be told about hearing Moses in every city being read in the synagogues every sabbath? Doesn't look like 1st century believers are replacement theology, nor are they being told that the scriptures are old and done away with. They are being told 5 things, the last is Go to the place where Moses is being read every Sabbath. This is where I am at today, meeting every Sabbath in the home with many other believers and we read the Torah portions starting at 2 pm. The fellowship and sharing, as the Holy Spirit moves us, is awesome. I feel my spirit being filled with joy and gladness and look forward to next Sabbath.
Reading from the context of Acts 15. The reason they have these commands were so that they may not offend the Jewish believers that followed the law. This was to remove the offense among them out of love, for religious, moral, and physical purity. These are not applied to everyone. Back then, before a they were saved they were pagans.
So this wasn't legalistic, this was love so that they won't offend. Paul told us, live by love and live by the Holy Spirit (Gal 5:13-16).
My friend is a seventh day adventist, he follows the Torah. If I am around him, I should not try to offend him. If I visit his church, I should respect his practice. Not under the law of Moses, but under the law of Christ I would respect him.

The gentiles went to the synagogues on the sabbath because that is where the scrolls were, and that is when the Jews got together to read the scrolls. It wasn't like today where every mother's son has his own bible, and the body of Christ has grown in stature and strength over the past 19 centuries to fully understand that salvation (Christ) came out of the Judeans, but isn't from Judeans themselves.`

Could you explain this verse ?
Is this futuer or past
Isaiah 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.
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.
24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
That is figurative language for worshiping GOD in spirit and truth.
Do you keep the other 9 commandments ? Why or Why not ?
The righteousness demanded by all 10 commandments has been imputed to me through my faith in Christ.
How sad these worship on Sunday only people are!! And such strange teachings they give, saying it is from scripture! Scripture says they are allowed to use this day, they say you must. God the Father says to use Saturday and Christ said He changes nothing the Father said but they insist the Father spoke through Moses and Moses was a liar, or some strange odd being not to be listened to. Christ and scripture says that through Him we are to grow, to obey beyond "just do it" to obey with spirit and truth and remember it is all based on love. They say just don't ever obey. The emperor Constantine, not scripture, said anything Jewish was to be taken out of the church, scripture never says that. These people follow Constantine.
They have no idea at all of how we are to grow in Christ. Scripture tells us plainly how Christ helped us take our worship to a new level. They do not want growth, they want to wipe out much of scripture and start a new "religion" based on what they say, not what God says.
And one of the chief tools they use is the Sabbath! Even if they wipe out every word of the Creator and listen to Christ as a new God who is separate from His Father, it does not tell them to use Sunday only as a guide for them to any of the ways of Christ.
