Matthew 11:29-30 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

That's very informative, but... How many of those cultures keep the Sabbath?

Your OP begins with this statement: "Jesus told His disciples to sell their properties and give alms..." And the tjread title is: "Why Do Christians Ignore some of Jesus' Teachings?" How does this square with your quoted post above?

The faith chapter, Hebrews eleven lists several Patriarchs before Abraham. It starts with Abel. Do we suppose Abel lived before Job? (yes) Did God speak to Abel? (yes) To whom else might God have spoken? (many before Job)

That is interesting, but it does not indicate Sabbath observance. I also believe that there are similarities between God's law on the human conscience and the law that God gave to the Israelites alone through Moses. Romans 2:14-15 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by...

It wasn't a Sabbath for Adam. The day of rest comes after six days of work. What day was it for Adam?

That's a good point, but it isn't Sabbath observance.

Yes, we know when the Sabbath day is. Just look to the Jews. They have been keeping it on a weekly basis since God gave it to them through Moses. (Exodus 16)

Who knew this before God told Moses? Do you see evidence of any human observing the Sabbath before it was given to the Israelites in Exodus chapter sixteen?

Here is my beef with those who quote this (unreferenced) scripture below. They claim this is proof that we should keep the Sabbath, but they aren't keeping the New Moon. They both have equal weight in this passage. Typically they will claim that the new moon is a measure of time. (month to...

Do you keep the new moon festival?

Shall we leave it at that, or would you like to explore it further? Here's a question: Where/when did the Sabbath originate?

Apology accepted. My purpose was to challenge you to think about what you claimed to believe. Was surprised at your reaction. The challenge was intentional, the offense was not. I would be happy to help you work through this from my perspective. Have been debating with Sabbatarians for ten...

Perhaps you don't know what it means to keep the Sabbath. What is the most foundational rule about the Sabbath? No work, correct? Look at what Jesus said about that. John 5:16-18 So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him. 17 In his...

You are the one who claims the Sabbath is still in effect yet you refuse to observe it. Are you to be taken seriously? If you really believed the Sabbath was still in effect then you would observe it. Do you really believe God would punish you for your obedience? What were you saying about...

So, you have built a lifestyle around breaking God's eternal law. Is that what you are saying? You have put your wife above God? How can you live with yourself? Even admitting your stunted spiritual growth. For shame. The law does not bend to your convenience. It is kept, or it is broken...

Are you claiming to be a Sabbath-keeper?

I like this translation in Mark that includes the word "even". Mark 2:28 So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”

Are you familiar with the explanation Jesus gave of Matthew 5:17 after his resurrection? (notice that in both cases the words "Law" and "Prophets" are capitalized, indicating book titles) Luke 24:44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be...

Right. What does Lord mean? (his call)
