It is repeated in Leviticus I know. Everyone must keep in mind that Sabbath does not mean seventh, rather it means rest, thus many special days are referred to as Sabbaths, not simply the seventh day.
OK Thank you JaumeJ.
But in the 10 Commandments, it is referring specifically to
a day. And that the day is the 7th.
Exodus 20
8“Remember
the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 “Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but
the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you. 11 “For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed
the sabbath day and made it holy.
and not far along in Exodus there's more....(these are not ceremonial commandments, per Leviticus - this is still concerning the 7th day sabbath)
Exodus 23
12“Six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you shall cease from labor so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female slave, as well as your stranger, may refresh themselves. 13“Now concerning everything which I have said to you, be on your guard; and do not mention the name of other gods, nor let them be heard from your mouth.
Exodus 31:15
'For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a sabbath of complete rest, holy to the LORD; whoever does any work on the sabbath day shall surely be put to death.
Exodus 31:14-15
'Therefore you are to observe the sabbath, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people.
For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death.
Exodus 35:2
For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a Sabbath of rest to the LORD. Whoever does any work on it must be put to death.
Now this is repeated many times.
So, I really (honestly) do not know how we are to obey the sabbath day commandment if we simply ignore the parts of it we don't like. How do we explain this? Why are we not obeying the LORD and putting people to death who profane the sabbath? And why are we not being put to death when we profane it?
Is the idea that we are to observe the 7th day exactly as prescribed, but that we are not subject to the penalty for profaning it in any way? As in, if we (or another in our family or congregation) do profane the sabbath, do we just confess it and seek forgiveness? What about repentance?
Fellowship is with the sum total of the Body members of Yeshua, and they are scattered among many denominations and non-denominations. This is my fellowship because when the Holy Spirit entered into me much knowledge of the good news was magnified and elaborated upon instantly in my heart, soul and mind, however there was not a message or wisdom for my selecting a specific "church." It has only been recently that I have been blessed to encounter others who understand this. We will all be built up into one temple on His day and in His time, meanwhile the Chief and the Corner Stone is away, but soon He will return, amen.
Well, this part I most definitely have a problem with.
Nowhere does it say fellowship is with the "sum total" of the body of believers in the way you mean (in place of assembling together as a church)
You say much knowledge was instantly given to you in your heart, but that selecting a church was not given, nor the need to. Why did the Apostles establish actual churches (some had churches in homes); and why did Jesus Himself send letters to churches?
Is there something about Paul's epistles specifically you have issues with, because he most certainly made it clear we are to assemble in person face to face.
I assume we'll address this, since it's certainly pertinent to the OP (obeying the Lord).
