The Sabbath is not from Judaism, it is from God. God identifies the Sabbath in His own Words as My holy day- Isa 58:13 and never did He once claim anything different about changing His holy day for Him or for man. Man took it upon themselves to assign God another holy day, not based on God’s blessing, not based on God’s commandment, not based on God’s sanctification, but based on what God deemed a day to do works and labors Exo 20:9 and changed holy Sabbath to Sunday and the church who made this change that the whole world followed admit they changed from Sabbath to Sunday, not based on any biblical authority but based on their own power which is above the Bible and this change is a mark of their power and authority over God’s Word. We were warned this would happen in scripture Dan 7:25 and that the whole world will be deceived, thats the majority of people, because they choose to follow traditions, something Jesus warned us about over obeying the commandments of God Mat 15:3-14 Mark 7:7-8
The Sabbath started at Creation after God worked 6 days, He rested on the seventh day Gen 2:1-3 and hallowed it. Exo 20:11
He commanded man the same week cycle - work 6 das, keep the seventh day Sabbath holy Exo 20:8-11 because man is made in the image of God- Jesus in His own Words said the Sabbath was made for man Mark 2:27 and the work He used here means mankind. Man was made on the sixth day in the image of God Gen 1:26 and the Sabbath was the very next day that God hallowed made for mankind and was God’s perfect will before the fall of mankind.
Instead of the Sabbath commandment being deleted in the NC as many teach, it is part of God’s eternal law written in the hearts and minds, As long as we don’t rebel against God’s law Rom 7:7-8 we will have Christ righteousness Psa 119:172. Many use an out of context scripture that we are warned about 2 Peter 3:16 to do away with the weekly Sabbath, but if carefully studying that and compare to the teachings of Jesus it is obvious its not about the Sabbath commandment- heaven and earth would pass before one jot or tittle can be changed from God’s law Mat 5:18-30 as no one is above God’s righteousness Psa 119:172 or His work Exo 32:16 or His Truth Psa 119:151. It’s why Jesus kept the Sabbath and the apostles kept every Sabbath Acts 13:42-44 Acts 18:3 decades after the Cross and will be kept for eternity thus saith the Lord. Isa 56:1-7 Isa 66:22-23. There is no scripture that says the Sabbath commandment ha been abrogated- it is God’s holy day and He asks that we not profane His holy things. Eze 22:26. We are to follow every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God, I would suggest you read all of the thus saith the Lords on the Sabbath, there are many, it’s a powerful study.

More sugar coated double talk that culminates is "salvation by grace plus law, faith plus works." 
Galatians 2:21
I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly.
Galatians 2:16
So that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the Law.
The Sabbath is one of the major works of the law.
Hi Cameron.
Yes, what I am describing is Christ righteousness imputed in us. As long as we are in Christ- have a relationship with Him- He imputes His righteousness as we have none of our own. If we are in a relationship with Christ we would not be hostile to God’s law in any way Rom 8:7-8 so as long as we have Christ in us, we have His imputed righteousness and are not rebelling against His commandments but keeping through faith and through His righteousness. Christ does not remove His righteousness, we remove it from Him if we fall away and choose our righteousness over His.
Many misunderstand grace. We all have sinned and deserve death, but through Christ He took that penalty and gives us grace. It’s like when one is pulled over for speeding for going over the posted law on speed. If you plead with the officer and promise not to speed again the officer may give you grace. Did grace remove the law? If after receiving grace, and you speed out of there, chances are the officer is going to pull you over again and this time he will give you a ticket. But if we keep the posted speed limit we are living in grace and don’t have to worry about the law because one is keeping it.
Paul does a good job of explaining grace and how if we are living in Christ we have buried our sins in Christ meaning we are being obedient to God’s law.
Romans 6:1 6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? 3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

The righteousness does not come through the law, it comes through the imputed righteousness of Jesus which enable us to keep His commandments. The Sabbath is not a work, its rest in Him on His holy Sabbath day and it is a commandment of God Exo 20:8-11 just like thou shalt have no other gods before Me, thou shalt not murder or commit adultery breaking one is like breaking them all James 2:10-12 and why Jesus taught not to break or teach others to break the least of these. Mat 5:19-30

Saved by grace through faith and nothing you can do to modify that.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God. Not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
You can insert, "sabbath obedience", into the place of, "works", above.
The Sabbath is a work of the law and Peter stumbled into the very same error.
For by grace you have been saved through faith...
No more boasting about the law.

I have studied Romans and all of Paul writings, but when we start believing Paul was not a servant of Christ and taught something different than Jesus, we really should consider the warning of his writing for this very reason. 2 Peter 3:16
Paul didn’t believe what you think he taught because he kept faithfully every Sabbath in scripture 30 years after the Cross. Thats a lot of Sabbath-keeping. Paul doesn’t have the authority to reverse one of God’s commandments, nor would he as he was His faithful servant Romans 1:1 and this is what faithful servants do Isa 56:1-6 as we should be. For me I would want a thus saith the Lord if I was not going to keep what God said for us to Remember and is one His His commandments that is under His mercy- seat breaking one we break them all James 2:10-12. Maybe one day you will reconsider. God bless.

The Sabbath is listed in the spoken words at Mt Sinai.
The Sabbath is definitely a work of the law.
Any attempt by the human will to obey a law is a work of the law.
Unfortunately, you selected one of the heavier works of the law to follow.
You must be kidding yourself.
The Sabbath has a Preparation day before it.
Your telling me that the Sabbath day and the Preparation day are not a work of the law??????

Why keep any laws?
You said 9 of the 10 are to be kept.
For the same reason you keep the law "thou shalt not murder" I keep the law to keep the sabbath holy.
The weekly sabbath is not a shadow law.
Why did God include it in the 10 commandments? And place it inside the ark?. If it was a shadow law that was removed at the cross Why did Jesus not clearly say it was ended. He said...Mat 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
No verse states that the sabbath has finished.
The verse in col 2 is about cerimonial laws which the weekly sabbath is not.
It was made holy before sin. Before a saviour was needed.

Paul had full authority to delete the entire law, and only preach Christ crucified.
1 Corinthians 2:2-5
For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. I also was with you in weakness and fear, and in great trembling, and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of mankind, but on the power of God.
Galatians 2:15-16
“We are Jews by nature and not sinners from the Gentiles; nevertheless, knowing that a person is not justified by works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the Law.
Are you obedient to Jesus Christ or are you obedient to the law?
