but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. - Deut 5:14
’There are six days when you may work, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, a day of sacred assembly. - Leviticus 23:3
For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a day of sabbath rest to the LORD. - Exodus 35:2
It was made explicitly clear, under Moses, that the seventh day is the 'day of rest' to the Lord.
This would leave out any other day of the week, including Sunday - UNLESS - something happened that 'made obsolete' this commandment.
ALSO - Can it be 'obsolete' and at the same time 'a Living Commandment'???
Your Mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find out from Scripture, IF and When, this commandment became 'obsolete' and yet is still ALIVE.
I thought this post was going to self destruct.
The sabbath still applies in the New Testament but it is not a physical sabbath but a spiritual sabbath by Holy Spirit.
Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Col 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Col 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Jesus took the physical ordinances of Israel and nailed them to His cross taking them out of the way for they were contrary to us which means they have no bearing on spiritual salvation.
This includes the sabbath days for the sabbath day is a physical ordinance to celebrate this earth and included in a physical covenant.
Luk 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Luk 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
The kingdom of God is within you when you receive the Spirit and you belong to the kingdom of God.
Joh 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Joh 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Jesus went away from the earth to prepare a place for the saints that is spiritual and involved in a spiritual covenant.
Isa 28:10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
Isa 28:11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
Isa 28:12 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.
Mat 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Mat 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
When a person receives the Spirit it is a spiritual rest and the refreshing yet many people would not hear but said to keep the sabbath which the Bible says let no person judge you concerning the physical sabbath for the body is of Christ and spiritual.
In the Old Testament it was a physical sabbath, a physical rest, and in the New Testament is is a spiritual sabbath, a spiritual rest by the Spirit.
When a person receives the Spirit they are obeying the sabbath.
