If we are going to keep the SABBATH the 7th day, in HEAVEN, Why are not people keeping it now ???

The weekly SABBATH Has nothing to do with Moses hand write. The feast Sabbath, Was a shadow Sabbath,
in food
or in drink,
or regarding a feast day
or a new moon
or sabbaths,
which are a shadow of things to come
(Colossians 2:16-17)

There are 116 verses in the KJV that speaks of the Sabbath. I love the Lord and want to follow how he guides, and the majority of scriptures are clear that God blessed the last day of the week and wants us to take advantage of the blessings God gave that day. That is enough for me.

It seems it is enough for me also. Either people believe the Word, guided by the Holy Spirit, or they simply do not have enough faith. I pray in Jesus, Yeshua's, name that our faith be increased and never diminished by further study and meditation, amen.

I haven’t read any scripture that says there is. :)
Isaiah 66:22-23, Tells us that the SABBATH WILL be kept in the new Heaven And the New earth, The Sabbath is a sign and a seal that HE sanctify us. GOD bless as HE sees fit.

Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the SABBATH from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. [Blessed is the man, not just the Jews,] There is nothing in the BIBLE that changed the SABBATH, If it was HOLY then, it is HOLY NOW. sunday is a working day in the BIBLE, And is NOT HOLY at ALL,
What if you heat your house or cook on Saturday when it's -20 below zero?

See posts #4 and #34. Are you a Jew under the law? Explain to us how well you are keeping these specific regulations (Exodus 16:23; 35:3; Leviticus 23:32; Jeremiah 17:21) that are attached with keeping the Sabbath day. Or do you simply rest and worship God on Saturday (instead of Sunday) and consider that as keeping the Sabbath day? :unsure:

How many burnt offerings have you made on the Sabbath day? (Leviticus 19:30; 23:2-3; Numbers 28:1-10; 29:39-40; I Chronicles. 23:30-31; II Chronicles 31:2-4; Isaiah 1:13; Ezekiel 46:12). Have you refrained from kindling a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath? (Exodus 35:3). Have you remained in your place on the Sabbath? (Exodus 16:29). Have you done any trading? (Amos 8:5). What about marketing? (Nehemiah 10:31; 13:15,19). This was commanded by God to Israel (Exodus 35:1). According to (Exodus 31:12-18; 35:1-3; and Numbers 15:32-36), anyone who profaned the Sabbath was put to death and any person who does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from his people. Do you enforce this?

In Exodus 35:1-2, we read - Then Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said to them, "These are the words which the Lord has commanded you to do: Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh day shall be a holy day for you, a Sabbath of rest to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it shall be put to death... *Now show me in the New Testament where the Lord makes these commands to the Church/the body of Christ.

Colossians 2:16 - Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day--things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ. That is enough for me.

God says that HE will Bless us if we take a hold of HIS Sabbath Isaiah 56:1-8 & Isaiah 58:12-14, And GOD will Bless those that hold of HIS Sabbath, And HE will you to if you DO, And this says to the MAN, and not JUST to the Jews, And we fit into that category.
GOD bless as HE sees fit

God wants us to use the 6 days to get ready for the Sabbath And all we can to be ready for the Sabbath, We should have our wood in the house to where we have it right there at the stove to put it in, We should not haft to go out and gather wood for the fire, like the man in Exodus did. HE wants us to do what we can on the 6 working days, not doing things on the Sabbath that could have been done on the 6 working days, to be ready for the Sabbath. GOD bless as HE sees fit

Did you read what UnitedWithChrist shared with you in post #28? So if Isaiah 66:23 teaches that we will keep the sabbath day in heaven, then it also teaches we will keep the new moon festival as well. "And it shall be from new moon to new moon, and from sabbath to sabbath, all mankind will come to bow down before Me, says the Lord” - Isaiah 66:23. Let's be consistent.

If you insist on sabbath observances based on Isaiah 66:23, then you also need to observe new moons as well. Yet from what I hear, most Sabbatarian’s don’t observe new moons. hmm.. That’s inconsistent. New moons require night, hence Sabbatarians have night in heaven Isaiah 66:23. Is there night and day in heaven? NO In Revelation 21; 23; 22:5 we read there is no night in heaven. You cannot have "new moon to new moon" or "sabbath days" without day and night. Are new moons and sabbath keeping a requirement for Christians based on the New Covenant terms? NO.

*Colossians 2:16 - Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day 17 things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.

Will there be Levital priests in the new heaven? If Isaiah 66:23 teaches that we will keep the sabbath day in the new heaven, then it also teaches in Isaiah 66:21 that the Levitical priests will be in the new heaven, because it is also mentioned. What happened to the Levitical priesthood under the new covenant terms? Priesthood changed so did the law. Hebrews 7:12 - For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed also. *The old and new covenants do not mix.

Why are you so obsessed with the sabbath? Do you believe that keeping the sabbath day is necessary for salvation? Where do you attend church? :unsure:

You remain in bondage to the old covenant law and have not made the transition into the new covenant. :(

Matthew 9:16 - No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch pulls away from the garment, and the tear is made worse. 17 Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.

I believe I observe the Seventh Da Sabbath, and i HAVE no problem cooking, walking, going to shop or anything else. I suppose it is because, unlike the Pharisees, I understand the principles of faith, justice and mercy applied to the remaining laws. many do not even approach understaqnding this.ñ Here is a hint, having your meal on a Sabbath should not be a burden………….mercy....faith……...justice.

Notice that what he is saying is that Sabbatarians are the true believers.

Same as the cult I belonged to...the Armstrongites.
That certainly is cultic thinking. There is a customer on my mail route who is an Armstrongite and for a while he was trying to indoctrinate me into his cult by giving me literature from his church to read. This man was absolutely obsessed with the sabbath day and told me that I need to tell my employer that I can't work on Saturday because it's the sabbath day and even implied that if I don't stop working on Saturday, then I will not receive eternal life. :rolleyes: From what I gathered from the literature that this Armstrongite gave me, he was promoting "salvation by grace plus law, faith plus works." More than a subtle mixture of law and grace which is a perversion of the gospel. :cautious:

But you can't have a fire (heat) or cook on the Sabbath unless you work the system.

Poor kid. You put the Sabbath above Christ when in fact Christ is our Sabbath. Scripture teaches us to keep our eyes focused on the Lord. That means every day.
