Remember the Sabbath and keep it separate.
Remember the Sabbath and keep it Holy.

The Sabbath is a gift from our true Father. It is a day to rest from six days of mundane labors and be with Him.

It always seems on the Sabbath with our Fasther in mind, many of our temptations stay away, far away. During those other six days, whenever temptations come my way, or stress and trials, I remember the Sabbath, and all the cares seem to vanish.

The Sabbath is a wonderful day, and it should be remembered throughout the week as a day to anticipate with joy.

I love the Seventh Day because my Father did rest that day, and gave it to me to be at rest with Him. It is a pecious gift.

Argue about when people should or should not go to church, but I will continue being a living stone of the Temple with Jesus Christ as teh Head and teh Cornerstone, and as long as I have the wits sto count from one to seven, the Seventh Day will always be my Sabbath with my Father. No commandment, no law, but something much greater, it is a personal gift from the Fasther to me.

Praise God now and forever in Jesus Christ, amen.

The Sabbath is a gift from our true Father.............................. .
Even if you are a literal jew, you certainly weren't alive when that commandment was given. God was not talking to you nor was that commandment meant for you.
You reject the new testament. The covenant that His Son died on the cross for. The covenant that was instituted specifically so that you and I might have access to salvation thru His grace.
Ephesians 2:14-16 "For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:"
That enmity is the law. It was a pact between God and Israel. When the gentile was invited, the covenant had to change to allow for it because the gentile was not eligible to participate in a pact betwixt God and the jew.
This passage is but one of many that detail exactly that event.
You will have a hard time trying to explain to Christ on judgement day why you cling to an old faulted covenant when He died to bring you a new and better one.
Have you thought about that? Have you rehearsed your explanation speech to Him?
You are uncircumsized in heart and ears. You do exactly what Paul cautioned us about.
What is it about Paul that so infuriates you to the point you reject his words? Christ gave him those words. He said "Paul, here is what you must write down. jaume and Phil will need to hear what I have to say to them.

Christ died on the cross for you and you reject the covenant that He endured hate, torture, and punishment for.
You have a serious problem.

Learn the difference between a commandment and a gift. The gracious will receive a gift from the Father, and after he will always appreciate the gift.

If you can only see the law and not the gift, you are not understanding the power of His love in our daily life.

I praise God Who protects the ignorant from his sin, and this includes His overlooking my own ignorance where a``ñocabñe-

Maybe he meant only, respectfully: that there is a much better gift.

Hair splitting. God has indeed given us all that is and the greatest gift of all is Jesus Christ. This does not take away from having received the Sabbath as the Seventh Day, a gift to rest from the other Sixs days of mundane labor with Him.

When we rest with the Fasther, keep in mind, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are One. I should not have to remind anyone of this.

Also, the oP is stressing the value of remembering the Sabath all of th etime. On the Sabbath being with our Maker all day, it would be very diffictult to sin, and actually, it is quite easy to keep oneself from sin because of this day with our Maker. During the week days we are obliged to be in the world and doing are best to not be of the world, yet we face various trials, so for me, remembering th Sabbath and the pure strength derived from deliberately being with our Maker all day, I am completely able to resist almost all temptations and get through any trials.

Remember in so doing we are relying on our Salvation, Jesus Christ, and His strength, not on ourselves, which would be foolishness.

Please try to remain on topic folks. God bless all in Jesus Christ, amen.

Nowhere is it written Jesus Christ is become the Seventh Day.........the OP.

Jesus Christ does invite is to learn of Him for He will give us rest, not like learning from others who weigh heavy burdens upon us, for which they will not lift a finger to bear themselves.

Perhaps if you read teh OP yo will understand that marking the Sabbath, remembering the Sabbath is quite the same since it is spent with God.........again, remembering it the other six days brings us to the same state.

It may be this is something for some and not for all it seems. Certainly it is not brought up so those who are grace only may argue how the law is dead. This OP ideals with how it is to experience the Seventh Day power when referencing it during the other days. Same thing? Maybe. Understood? It seems not.

If there were not law, incidientally, there would be no constant need for grace, thus they go hand in hand, with emphasis on the grace.

To the contrary, 'everywhere' it says that Jesus Christ is the 7th day. Even better, as you said, He's the 8th day.
The 7th day is just for the 8th day, the day of resurrection. Jesus is resurrection and life. He's rest and the body
of mere shadows, such as all God's ritual and ceremony law, including Sabbath, circumcision, and diet.

I hope you enjoyed your Sabbath day........I will surely enjoy today as I gather with my church family to praise and worship God. I don't really care what day one chooses to set aside to praise and worship God with their church family, I'm just happy that they do.

Yes, we are to praise and worship God every day, but not every day is set aside for that specific purpose.

God bless........and to all who worship and praise God today, I hope your day is blessed.

Praise God now and forever in Jesus Christ, amen.
Amen,
It's well that you receive a blessing in keeping the seventh day rest brother Jack, and may it be so that Father's blessings from above and blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
always strengthen your faith,bring you peace, warm your heart, and remind you always of Father's great love and mercy towards all of us through Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 1:3

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Hebrews 13:14,15
14For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. 15Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.

I was not born of Jewish Parents, I am not a convert and have never been in a synagogue. The only people I know who keep
the Sabbath day are Jews who follow the Laws commanded through Moses and a few Christian sects. The Sabbath commandment was included in the ten commandments which in turn were the key and capstone of the whole of the law.
According to Paul who was a Pharisee if you break one commandement you break all of them. According to Jewish
tradition there are 613 laws that should be kept. Many conected to the Temple have not been kept since 70AD
The whole point is Why should I keep the Sabbath day when I can worship on Sunday or any day of the week I choose. As most Christians worship on Sunday keeping the Sabbath cuts you off from the rest of the Christian body.

Always bear in the forefront of consciousness that our Good Shepherd teaches the faith of Abraham, and He gathered that other Flock to the original Flock.

We all who believe Jesus Christ have come from being children of disobediece to being obedient to our Maker from Genesis through the final Amen of Revelation. In so believing let us endeavor to believe Jesus Christ, learnof Him, and follow His Example as we are taught to do.

Sin is breaking the law. Many believe because we have unlimited grace by the Blood of Jesus Christ we need not obey anything, yet grace would not be necessary were there no sin, and sin really is breaking the law. Use the law lawfully, do not be under the law. Learn how from Jesus Christ, and always do as He would do.

God bless all in Jesus Christ, son of David, amen.

......................We all who believe Jesus Christ have come from being children of disobediece to being obedient to our Maker from Genesis through the final Amen of Revelation.....................
Your doctrine is reprobate.
The old testament law was never meant for you. Those people did things in the dark, so to speak.
They didn't know what we do. They couldn't worship the way God wants us to.
Ephesians 3:3-6 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel
Paul writes to reveal the mystery to you. Old testament people didn't know it. It was not known in the past. It wasn't until the law was abolished that the gentile could become one of God's people.
Paul wants you to have his knowledge and you spit in his face. The manner in which you treat a man chosen by God and taught by Christ is despicable.
The old testament does not have the information in it on how God wants you to worship Him, yet you perpetually go back and apply it to your life, make your doctrine something that is not in effect and is not effective. That is completely foolish.

the law and grace DO NOT go hand in hand. ever read the New Testament?? especially Romans and Colossians?? Paul goes through great lengths to dis-prove what you just said. do we even read the same Bible??

To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
Isa 28:13
But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

I do not need to think on it. I accept what the Bible says. I accept what the New testament says. I accept what Paul says. I accept what Jesus says. when you , me, or anyone else thinks up stuff, instead of accepting, it goes bad. it is either law or grace. your salvation is either a gift, or you have to earn it. it cannot be both.

I have not posted to the contrary of the teachings of the Word. Now you are being personal, and not considering what is posted as though it were something dreamed up unrelated to the teachings of Jesus Christ. If you love Jesus Christ, He will be your teacher, and you will learn of Him. His teaching is a light burden compared to that of anyone else. Study Jesus, follow His example, and you will find obedience goes quite well with grace, and the law is established with by faith. Anything that is established is not abolished.

JaumeJ Jesus Christ was born a Jew. He kept the Jewish Law so did his Jewish Disciples. There is not one verse in the NT that says that None Jews are to keep the Sabbath. Jesus came to fulfill the law. He did by his sacrifice. I am not in bondage to the Law. If you want to worship on the Sabbath Day fine go ahead but dont try to impose it on others. Do you keep the festivals? Do you mix wool with cotton? How about kosher food? All these are Laws you need to keep if you obey the law . As I said there are 613 Laws to keep. Good Luck

Covenantal Signs of Believers:
Both affirm that this is nothing to do with salvation as Israelites were chosen as Gods people purely because God chose them to be such. same can be applied to believers in regards to the doctrine of Election being exercised towards both Jews and Gentiles alike.
Old Testament:
1) Entry sign to the Old Testament Covenant is one of circumcision applicable to the jews so most definately binding upon the jews. The purpose being that they were to be unique and different from their neighbouring nations.
2) The remembrance sign of the Old Testament Covenant is to keep the sabbath. Again binding to the nation of Israel and Israel alone.
New Testament:
1) Entry sign to enter into the New Testament Covenant is one of Baptism, which replaces circumcision according to Paul and his writings. Binding upon the believer as a sign not as a earning of or achieving Gods favor. Likewise its purpose is the same function and that is to make one unique and distinct from others. To be baptised is to symbolise one as being distinct as a follower of Christ.
2) The remembrance sign of the New Testament Covenant is to keep the Lords Supper. This herein replaces Sabbath Keeping as morally binding upon the believer, because Christ is the fulfillment of the Sabbath. He is our Sabbath, but we remember him and the New Covenant promise to us by observing and partaking of the Lords Supper.
Note:
The Old Testament laws do not apply to us as moraly binding but rather as signs of. Christ fullfils the morally binding requirements of the Old Testament Law in his atonment and death on the cross. Dietary laws, Ceremonial Laws, Clothing Laws, etc do not apply due to its direct purpose, which were to make the people of Israel distinct and uniquely different from other nations. But what makes one distinct today from others is Christ himself.
Colossians 2:16-17 Note: The laws here are recognised as something that has been completed in Christ. Paul use the term past tense "were" meaning completed past tense in Christs atonement. Essentially this is a focus on the shadows rather than what the shadows are pointing too. Christ. One can hold that they observe and keep the laws due to health reasons or whatever but in no way can you make an argument that its binding upon a believer because it just isnt. The ministry of Christ is to fulfill the law on behalf of the law breakers.
