The Sabbath was given to God's children.

Whatever gave you the idea that when scripture tells you not to judge us because we like Saturday best, it is saying that to keep the Sabbath is against scripture? There is absolutely no instruction there to say "don't keep the Sabbath". You can find instruction to keep it, but there is no instruction to be sure not to keep it.

Don't get nervous, the Sabbath is not for you. It's for God's chosen people and all who join God's people to worship Him as He taught them. You know Israel was given the oracles of God (Romans 3:1-3) and we are to teach each other according to them (Hebrews 5:12).

1 Peter 4:11 If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

The titles Gentile, stranger, alien, foreigner and immigrant are all used in the Bible to identify someone who is not part of God's people. This is why God says at the end of Isaiah 56:1-8.

"My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations."

"I will bring others, too, besides my people Israel."

So again, either you fit this verse or you don't.

Ephesians 2:11-13 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

Are you a Gentile, stranger, immigrant, foreigner or alien who wants to join God's people to worship as they were taught? You can, through Jesus Christ.

I'm pretty sure the New Covenant claimed that when we find ourselves yolked with Christ, we're resting in the Sabbath.

sabbath keeping nowdays invariably turns people into hateful self righteous hypocrites...just like the pharisees...

scripture condemns hatred and self righteousness and hypocrisy...

nowhere in the bible does it ever say that anyone is excluded from the church on the basis of the sabbath...in fact scripture says the opposite...

you can claim all you want that you believe in salvation by grace...but that is a lie...because here you are clearly promoting salvation by works...claiming that it is sabbath keeping that includes someone with God's people...

so actually it is -you- who are excluded from the church...because you come preaching -another gospel-

Actually there is...

Gen 26:5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

And the word for Laws here is...

H8451
תּרה תּורה
tôrâh tôrâh
to-raw', to-raw'
From H3384; a precept or statute, especially the Decalogue or Pentateuch: - law.

OK, not a problem Since the Word Torah is used for Law here, what Commandments are contained in the Torah? Why, they are listed throughout the Pentateuch.

As far as the Sabbath goes, lemme see here, why that is the fourth Commandment in the Torah contained in the Pentateuch.

the hebrew word 'torah' is also used in scripture to refer to teaching from a parent...

proverbs 1:8..."Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching"
proverbs 3:1..."My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart,"
proverbs 4:2..."I give you sound learning, so do not forsake my teaching."

so you cannot point to the hebrew term 'torah' in genesis 26:5 and assume it is the law of moses with the ten commandments and so on...

anyway here is decisive proof from scripture that abraham did -not- have the torah of moses...

galatians 3:17..."What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise."

you can either believe scripture or reject it...

Not all translations say that. The KJV and the NKJV do not, neither does the Diaglott. Are you saying the Law was not in existence prior to Ex 20?

I respectfully disagree...

Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

The saints keep the Commandments and the fourth one is not excluded.

Well, not the Mosaic Law, yes.

you cannot assume that 'commandments' in revelation 14:12 refers specifically to the ten commandments...the same greek word is used in other ways...

1 corinthians 14:37..."If anyone thinks they are a prophet or otherwise gifted by the Spirit, let them acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord’s command."

colossians 4:10..."My fellow prisoner Aristarchus sends you his greetings, as does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas. (You have received instructions about him; if he comes to you, welcome him.)"

incidentally among 'the lord's commands' paul gives in 1 corinthians 14...again using the same word for 'commandments' from revelation 14:12...is the commandment that disqualifies ellen white...so her church does not 'keep the commandments of God'

Not all translations say that. The KJV and the NKJV do not, neither does the Diaglott. Are you saying the Law was not in existence prior to Ex 20?

Why label it Mosaic Law? Throughout the Pentateuch we find this...

Exo 25:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Let's read some more of Paul's writings...

Rom 4:15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

Rom 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

Sin is not imputed when there is no Law. What are the wages of sin?

Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Rom 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

Hmmm, we put these together and find that people sinned and died prior to Mt. Sinai.

Paul said what about sin?

Rom 4:15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

and John says...

1Jn 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

And we read...

Gen 20:9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.

and the act would have been what? Adultery.

We find the word sin occurring 10 times prior to Ex 20.

We find this in Exodus 16...

Exo 16:25 And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.
Exo 16:26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
Exo 16:27 And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.
Exo 16:28 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?

Not really difficult to figure out that the fourth Commandment was in effect before Ex 20.

This is said of Abraham...

Gen 26:5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

So was the Law in effect prior to Ex 20? Was it given again to a people that had been in slavery for around 200 years because they had lost the knowledge? Yes.

what we have here is someone trying to use convoluted 'scriptural' arguments to justify his refusal to believe -clear scripture-...

galatians 3:17..."What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise."

for one thing scripture clearly states that it is possible to sin and perish -apart from the law-...

romans 2:12..."All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law."

so what 'law' did abraham have? not the law of moses...but the law of conscience...

romans 2:14-15..."Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them."

So what I am to understand from this is that God changes the Law and the Commandments every whipstitch. There is nothing consistent about it and who knows what version we are on today? V2.1? Maybe V6.7? Or even V39.4?

What Law are we on today and how many times has God changed it hoping to finally get it right?
