Wanted to add Daniel 2:44
44 And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall its sovereignty be left to another people.
In the days of these kings the Lord will set up his kingdom, not at the end of the tribulation as most assume
It was an observation. Same as commenting on how Jesus worked on the Sabbath, and how the
religious leaders wanted to kill Him for it. Obviously the Sabbath is not what many would have
us think. Jesus worked on the Sabbath, countered those who criticized Him because of it, and
said His Father continues to work on the Sabbath also. Jesus answered them, “To this very day
My Father is at His work, and I too am working.” Because of this, the Jews tried all the harder
to kill Him. Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father,
making Himself equal with God.
Sabbatarians should not be on any electronic device on a Sabbath day, that's for sure...
Do no work that you can the other six days unless you are in a profession that must have workers 24/7 like fire, police, and all medical. If you work, it is to do good for someone or something in a predictament. Do not buy or sell. Do not cause someone else to serve you. PERIOD.
Now that you are freed from the daily grind, you can spend the day with other believers, with family and children, visiting the nursing home, or elderly family, taking nature walks, read a good book, read the Bible, midrash with other believers, eat what was prepared before Friday sundown. Planning ahead for this wonderful day just makes it all the more relaxing and enjoyable. It's hard to have a relationship when you are wrapped up tighter than rubber band ball.
Matthew 19:26 Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
Really. So using modern technology to discuss Bible Discussion Forum is to be denied to Torah Observant believers? In just a few minutes I am zooming (modern technology) with the same group I've been zooming with since 2021 to sing, pray, read scriptures and midrash. I'll be there for several hours. However, I can and will pop in to CC to see the discussion here as well. If any are interested in zooming, go to sightedmoon.com and get the zoom address and come and join us. Be ready for mature believers. We are always kind but disrupters will be warned and if they don't straighten up they get the boot.
Are you asking about the Jews extra biblical rules? Like not pushing an elevator button?
So you keep the Sabbath, big deal. Are we supposed to be impressed? Why is it you always see Sabbath keepers going around talking about how they keep the Sabbath: Hey, look at me, I keep the Sabbath. Why don't you ever see anyone waving their arms and yelling: Hey, look at me, I don't keep the Sabbath.
yes i see your point, all true. I thought you meant that since is the sabbath commandment is not mentioned in the N.T it was invalid, many people use this argument, I have seen this before, I mistakenly assumed you were doing the same which i tough was a bit strange coming from you. now i know better.
Peace and Blessings Magenta.
It is a big deal for me. Why belittle others with sarcasm? Is this how the God living in you commands you to treat others?
Just like Jesus healed on the Sabbath, spreading the Gospel Truth on the Sabbath surely is allowed. Jesus wouldn't even light a candle on the Sabbath. Jesus let us know by His actions that the Sabbath is not a day for God to punish, but to keep Him in reverence.
On a lighter note, here is my favorite song. I saw 4Him in concert in the '90s. This song changed my life.
Well you do need to refer to the Jewish regulations for Sabbath-keeping.
"The Mishnah and Talmud go to great lengths to carefully define and precisely determine the observance of the Sabbath. The tractate is thus one of the longest in terms of chapters in the Mishnah, and folio pages in the Talmud. It comprises 24 chapters and has a Gemara – rabbinical analysis of and commentary on the Mishnah – in both the Babylonian Talmud and all but the last four chapters of the Jerusalem Talmud. There is a Tosefta of 18 chapters on this tractate."
Sabbatarians need to familiarize themselves with this.
To be denied? Hmmm. Sabbatarians deny all sorts of things. We had one here who tried to tell us
we were breaking a commandment to worship God on Sunday. Ridiculous, yes? So, it seems it is the
Sabbatarians who would deny you. I say, do what you will. That's part of the point, too, isn't it?
You get to decide what you will and will not do.
But that's the point. If they can't themselves tell me, how can they be keeping it?Well you do need to refer to the Jewish regulations for Sabbath-keeping.

In the Torah the LORD/YHWH tells us not to add or diminish from his law/instructions/commandments. That is the problem with the Talmud and any other religions extra biblical books is that they are violating the law by adding extra books and putting those extra books above the LORD God and His WORD. So I pray that no one familiarize themselves with any extra biblical books.
Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
Deuteronomy 12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
Matthew 23:1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
