The Gentiles were never commanded to practice a sabbath day, only Israel received the sabbath commandment.

Genesis 2:2-3

And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

At creation God made the 7th day holy which is another word for sanctified and rested from the work he had done the previous 6 days. Sabbath was part of creation not only the 4th commandment.
That is not a commandment for mankind to obey a sabbath day.

Because the Noahide law does not command mankind to obey a sabbath.

You need a direct commandment given to the Gentiles that specifies, that Gentiles
must rest on a seventh day. The codified law was given to Israel at Mt Sinai and the
penalty for not obeying that commandment.

We are saved by grace which excludes the law.

Your talking about the former creation.

We are a new creation in Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

The old things were the law and and the old covenant.

Did we get a new covenant and a new commandment?

Yes we did.

Luke 22:20
And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup which is poured out for you
is the new covenant in My blood.

The law has been fulfilled and now we have a new covenant.

Do we also have a new commandment?

John 13:34
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you
also love one another.

Romans 6:14
For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

By grace we are saved through faith and not by sabbath obedience.
 
The Ten Commandments is the work of God Exo32:16 that He said those who love Him keep His commandments Exo20:6 and all of His commandments are righteousness Psa119:172 including the Sabbath isa56:1-2 so I would be careful what you are calling fifthly rags. According to Scripture fifthly rags is depending on our righteousness - our version of right and wrong instead of God's Psa119:172 Isa56:1-2. So what you stated is the exact opposite of what the Scripture states.

1 John2:4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
YOU ARE NOT ISRAEL.

Its sad that professed Christians feel insulting another person is the way Jesus wants us to treat each other instead of discussing Scripture. Yes, Jesus is the way so when He tells us what is righteous Psa119:172 Isa56:1-2 we should believe Him. 1John3:7

I guess He will sort all of this out in His time. Take care.
There’s that victim card again

After careful study I disagree with you . The Lords temple is for all nations . The Sabbath was before the law as well . I get blessed for keeping the Sabbath, and I did not always . The truth will set you free keep seeking it . Amen my final comment on this .
The fact that you base your doctrine off your own feelings pretty much discredits your screen name.

You some of you need to read Isaiah ch 56

Verse 2 “ the man “ does not say if he is from Israel or not .

Verse 3 “ son of the stranger “ that’s not an Israeli either .

Verse 6 “ son of a stranger “ not a Jew

Verse 7 mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
Verse 8 “yet I will gather others to him “

Just a few places of many that God so loved the world is not restricted to the NT . Yes to the Jew first but it does not stop there . Amen
Is Isaiah 56, your fundamental doctrine?
 
Find a single verse in the Bible that calls Sunday the Lords day ? None I checked. Sabbath many I checked .

Jesus was prophesied right from Genesis on. Stop worshipping a day and worship the One who created all the days.

You are lost for eternity if you think you can keep all 613 commandments to the perfection of God. It's not 10; it's 613. The
book of the law does not host 10...it has all 613 in it so there is no hope for anyone who thinks that Saturday worship is going
to turn the wrath of God away from them

If I ever, and I do mean EVER, would read anything about Jesus from you Judaizers, I would hold out hope. But no, it's just sabbath sabbath sabbath and in the meantime, Jesus is LORD OF THE SABBATH. He is Lord of all and not a day from OT instructions to Israelites who could not keep the 10, never mind 613

If, as you say, you have checked out the entire Bible, did you perhaps come across the New Testament? It will change your life if you read and study it.
 
It does state though in the 4th commandment to 'Remember'. Perhaps that's a key word. To me, the Sabbath is a complex subject that I don't fully understand but which I should seek guidance. I don't work on Saturday but only because I chose not to. I don't really keep the Sabbath but probably should at least make an attempt to see what it is all about. Something about entering into God's rest or at least an important part of it.

I have attended worship services on both Saturday and Sunday. It really is not a complex subject. Look, not to be unkind, but I know the lady is your wife (I think you know who I mean) so you are kind of stuck in between. Regarding Sabbath rest, it's actually about Jesus and not a day of the week.

Got Questions is not my favorite site, but an easy explanation is good to start with.

Jesus summed up the commandments into 2 commandments. That beats having to keep track of 613.

Well exactly, right? I hope you see the irony in your post here. Do Judaizers focus on that fact? Nope. It's just sabbath sabbath sabbath.

What about the New Testament? Do you underestand that Judaizers leave out large portions of the New Testament? You absolutely cannot continue with the Old laws if you study the New Testament. This being true, engage an Adventist or 2 or any other Sabbatarian 'specialist' and you will be told that Paul is not really an apostle, therefore, he cannot be taken as seriously as he takes himself.

Only Paul IS an Apostle. Even Jesus original Disciples declared him to be so.

When does a prophecy about Jesus first appear in the Bible? Any idea and if so, why is it where it is? And do you know of other places in OT that prophesy Jesus?

Oh one more

Why did God send Jesus in the first place?

After careful study regarding he above questions, or really even just a dusting, you should see who the actual big important person in scripture is.

Hint: It's not Moses
 
But you know, I'm thinking about the fact that Sabbatarians come into this thread and insult, mock and unfurl the flag of the
10 commandments; nothing to do with the actual op either.

So, if you consider Saturday to be your big special day, WHY do you come here and pick fights? Cause it's not a debate at this point.

And again, if you insist on the law, the book of the law, the actual book of the law, lists 613 items and not just the 10. You don't get to pick and choose.

Colossians 2 will redirect you. Paul WAS called by Jesus to be an Apostle; even the original disciples of Jesus acknowledged that so why don't you? You really think God told Ellen White Paul was a liar and the orignal 12 -1, were corrupt and got the message wrong?
 
To you present day pharisees;

Ellen White is rejected as a prophet because; she, by her testimony presented in her writings, is supporting and proclaiming the Biblical obedience to God, ... as is Jesus and the Holy Spirit, which this world is rejecting.

Revelation 14: ( The Three Angels Message, to this last days generation, right before the Lord returns )

Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascends up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.

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

Jesus makes this statement in three specific Gospel passages: Mark 6:4, Matthew 13:57, and Luke 4:24.

  • Mark 6:4: Jesus says, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household."
  • Matthew 13:57: Jesus states, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home."
  • Luke 4:24: Jesus declares, "Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown."
In all instances, Jesus is referring to the rejection He faced in Nazareth, where He grew up and where His own family and neighbors did not believe in Him.
Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for their role in killing the prophets in Matthew 23:29-32, where He declares: "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous, and say, 'If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.' So you testify against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of the guilt of your fathers."

This condemnation is further intensified in Matthew 23:34-36, where Jesus states: "Therefore I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city, so that upon you may fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar."

The passage also includes a lament over Jerusalem in Matthew 23:37, where Jesus says, "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling."
