the Sabbath

So we can worship other gods, vain God’s holy name, profane God’s Sabbath, murder, steal, lie, commit adultery now? Have you really thought this through? Because no scripture says what you are teaching, Jesus taught the opposite. Mat 5:19-30, Mat 15:3-14, Mark 7:7-13 Mat 19:17-19

the sabbath was made for man not the man for the sabbath.

this means it is for our benefit that we rest one day a week for our health. But if you cannot keep the sabbath it is not a sin. but to keep the sabbath is better for it is a blessing.

Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:

14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. Isaiah 58:13-14

What part of love God and love your neighbor do you find the liberty to do such things?

And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. Luke 10:25-27

I am not sure if you have read Hebrews 7, but there is nothing in that entire chapter saying the Ten Commandments is the law that changed.

The Sabbath was so crucial to Christians that when Jesus died on the cross and was placed in a tomb, his followers stayed home and kept the Sabbath. They waited until early Sunday morning to bring herbs and spices to Jesus tomb.

Jesus said He had all authority and commanded all of the apostles to observe everything He commanded, so no the apostles did not have free rein to countermand one of God’s commandments. They were His faithful servants and a servant is never greater than their master John 13:16

Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go [a]therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” [b]Amen.

Jesus sited the flight from Judah in the destruction of Jerusalem prayed would not be in winter or on the Sabbath, which was almost 40 years after the Cross. Hard to make the case the Sabbath ended at the Cross when He said it would be kept by His faithful.

Mat 5:18 is taking about God’s law and if you keep reading in Mat 5:19-30 the commandments He directly quotes from the Ten Commandments Mat 5:19-30. First you would have to prove that the Sabbath is not a commandment of God when God claims it is Exo 20:6 Exo 20:8-11 written by His own finger Exo 31:18 to not be included with the other commandments from the Ten.

Hope this helps.

I think you are wrong not to view anything not printed in red as uninspired by the Spirit of God/Christ.

Hard to make the case that winter did not end at the cross, too.

You failed to see that in MT 5:19-30 Jesus does not reaffirm the Sabbatarian laws, but only the moral laws. THOSE are what are still part of the New Covenant.

I agree with you the Sabbath is a blessing and it meant to santify us Eze 20:12 because we can’t santify ourselves and to foster our relationship with Christ.

Hebrews is explicit: Israel received the law of Moses through the Levitical priesthood. The priesthood has changed, therefore the law of the covenant has of necessity changed also. The 10 commandments were part of the law of Moses. Christ did away with the letter of the 10 commandments and wrote his law in our hearts, that fulfills the righteousness required by the 10 commandments.

The sabbath didn't and doesn't sanctify anything. Israelites were to sanctify it because it was a sign that God was the one sanctifying them

Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them. Ezekiel 20:12

You might consider reading Hebrews 7, it talks about the law that had to change because of the law said the priesthood had to come from Levi, Christ came from Judea. It says nothing about the law being changed is the Ten Commandments. Why its still a sin to worship other gods, murder, steal or break the least of these commandments in the NC.

The commandments of God are the words of Christ. Whoever doesn't follow, or adds to them, is lawless.

The Levitical priesthood was appointed by God; it didn't come from the law. The law came through it.

What sign was given- the Sabbath and why was it given? So that they might know that I AM the Lord that sanctifies them. You can’t take away the sactification from God and from His Sabbath.

The law required the priesthood to come from the Tribe of Levi. Jesus came from the tribe of Judah.

Again, the sabbath doesn't sanctify anything. Israelites sanctified it by observing it

Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee. Deuteronomy 5:12
