At least you admit you hate.

You're too stubborn and blind to know what Sabbath actually is. And I don't for a minute believe you ever attended a Messianic congregation..

You talk a lot of hate. And in the process you prove you do not know the Gospel at all.

John 17:14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
If you don't hate evil, then you are God's enemy.

What nerve you have to presume to know something about me that you have absolutely no way of knowing. Everything you project at me is coming from your own heart. We used to meet every Shabbat in a church gym. The leader was a holocaust survivor, and we broke challah his wife made and had brandy he made.

Here are some sacrifices for the sabbath and every other day of the week.

Romans 12:1
Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.

Ephesians 5:2
And walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.
We were talking about animal sacrifices.
Hebrews 3
English Standard Version



Jesus Greater Than Moses
3 Therefore, holy brothers,[a] you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, 2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God's[b] house. 3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. 4 (For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.) 5 Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, 6 but Christ is faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house, if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.[c]
A Rest for the People of God
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,
“Today, if you hear his voice,
8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
on the day of testing in the wilderness,
9 where your fathers put me to the test
and saw my works for forty years.
10 Therefore I was provoked with that generation,
and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart;
they have not known my ways.’
11 As I swore in my wrath,
‘They shall not enter my rest.’”
12 Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. 13 But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. 15 As it is said,
“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
16 For who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses? 17 And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? 19 So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.
Footnotes
  1. Hebrews 3:1 Or brothers and sisters; also verse 12
  2. Hebrews 3:2 Greek his; also verses 5, 6
  3. Hebrews 3:6 Some manuscripts insert firm to the end
People try to apply Hebrews to something new, when its mainly referring to OT. Its referring to David quoting why the Israelites didn't enter into their rest into Canaan and Joshua who led the Israelites into their rest and nothing about changing God's Sabbath, but its actually reenforcing Sabbath-keeping working in harmony with what Jesus taught, not a jot or tittle can pass from His law, breaking the least of these commandments one is least in heaven, why the Sabbath-rest or keeping of the Sabbath the literal interpretation, remains for the people of God.

Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints; here[b] are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

Ephesians 5:2

Eph 5:2 is referring to Christ's sacrifice.

Rom 12:1 is not referring to animal sacrifices which is what the discussion was about that ended with Christ sacrifice at the Cross.

But yes, we are to make our bodies a holy sacrifice which means we should not defile it by what we eat and how we live. We are to be sacrificed with Christ (die of self) and walk in newness with Him, who is without sin, meaning we are keeping God's law just as Jesus did, who is our example to follow. John 15:10 1 John 2:6

Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? 3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Coming to Christ is the first step, but Christ doesn't leave us in a sinful state, through our faith and belief in Him. He changes us from the inside out and in doing so, we are walking as He did, who lived to be our righteous example to follow. When one criticizes us for keeping God's Sabbath commandment, its not really about us.

Eze 22:26 Her priests have violated My law and profaned My holy things; they have not distinguished between the holy and unholy, nor have they made known the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.

That salvation is by grace through faith and is not by works (Ephesians 2:8,9) is not hard to understand. It's just hard for works-salvationists to ACCEPT. It's a shame that human pride will not allow works-salvationists to believe in/trust in Jesus Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of their salvation. (1 Corinthians 1:18-21) Their hands are full of their works and they will not let go in order to receive Jesus Christ through faith.
indeed. I was part of an in depth study on how the Scripture portrays arrogance. it is simply an expression of pride, and I might add, a stepchild of anger.

John 10:32
Jesus answered them, “Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?

Nothings changed

Obeying what God asks us to obey that He commanded, through love and faith will never be wrong. Its amazing how things get so twisted where people think evil is good and good is evil. We were told this would happen before Jesus comes.

Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: [d]adultery, [e]fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, [f]murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

The fruits of the Spirit violates no law.

1 John 3:24 Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.

Ugh, another SDA doctrine that contradicts scripture. Jesus said nothing a person eats can defile him, and Paul echoed similar sentiments. This is yet another rebuttal to SDA assertions that God never changes his laws in dealing with his people.

It isn't about my thinking or a churches beliefs.
This subject needs to be about the Bible and what it teaches.

We agree that Jesus is central and that salvation is by faith through grace alone.

Obeying or not obeying the 10 commandments is were we disagree.

Do we agree with the following quotes from catholic documents. ??

1......
Question: Which is the Sabbath day?
Answer: Saturday is the Sabbath day.

Question: Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
Answer: We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.
—Rev. Peter Geiermann C.SS.R., The Convert’s Catechism of Catholic Doctrine, p. 50

2.....
Deny the authority of the Church and you have no adequate or reasonable explanation or justification for the substitution of Sunday for Saturday in the Third - Protestant Fourth - Commandment of God... The Church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact.'
—Catholic Record, September 1, 1923

3......
Perhaps the boldest thing, the most revolutionary change the Church ever did, happened in the first century. The holy day, the Sabbath, was changed from Saturday to Sunday. "The Day of the Lord" (dies Dominica) was chosen, not from any directions noted in the Scriptures, but from the Church's sense of its own power. The day of resurrection, the day of Pentecost, fifty days later, came on the first day of the week. So this would be the new Sabbath. People who think that the Scriptures should be the sole authority, should logically become 7th Day Adventists, and keep Saturday holy.
—Sentinel, Pastor's page, Saint Catherine Catholic Church, Algonac, Michigan, May 21, 1995

4......
The [Roman Catholic] Church changed the observance of the Sabbath to Sunday by right of the divine, infallible authority given to her by her founder, Jesus Christ. The Protestant claiming the Bible to be the only guide of faith, has no warrant for observing Sunday. In this matter the Seventh-day Adventist is the only consistent Protestant.
—The Catholic Universe Bulletin, August 14, 1942, p. 4.

5.....
But Sunday is not the Sabbath. Any schoolboy knows that Sunday is the first day of the week. I have repeatedly offered one thousand dollars to anyone who will prove by the Bible alone that Sunday is the day we are bound to keep, and no one has called for the money. It was the holy Catholic Church that changed the day of rest from Saturday, the seventh day, to Sunday, the first day of the week.
—T. Enright, C.S.S.R., in a lecture delivered in 1893.

It is well to remind the Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists, and all other Christians, that the Bible does not support them anywhere in their observance of Sunday. Sunday is an institution of the Roman Catholic Church, and those who observe the day observe a commandment of the Catholic Church.
—Priest Brady, in an address, reported in the Elizabeth, NJ ‘News’ on March 18, 1903.

7......
Reason and sense demand the acceptance of one or the other of these alternatives: either Protestantism and the keeping holy of Saturday, or Catholicity and the keeping holy of Sunday. Compromise is impossible.
—John Cardinal Gibbons, The Catholic Mirror, December 23, 1893

There are many quotes from different times and sources saying the same thing.

—Albert Smith, Chancellor of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, replying for the Cardinal, in a letter dated February 10, 1920.

—Library of Christian Doctrine: Why Don't You Keep Holy the Sabbath-Day? (London: Burns and Oates, Ltd.), pp. 3, 4.

—William Gildea, Doctor of Divinity, The Catholic World, March, 1894, p. 809

Because the NT does not affirm the Sabbath Law as it did the moral commands in the Ten Commandments, one needs to discern the correct doctrine for Christians by considering the following Scriptures.

1. God rested from His work and rested on the seventh day and made it holy per GN 2:2-3.

2. Moses promulgated the Sabbath law as the 4th of the Ten Commandments in EX 20:8-11, cf. LV 19:3&30, DT 5:12-15.

3. Solomon builds a temple for burnt offerings on the Sabbath in 2CHR 2:4.

4. Isaiah said those are blessed who keep the Sabbath in IS 56:2-6.

5. Jeremiah commands keeping the Sabbath holy in JR 17:21-27.

6. Ezekiel referred to the Sabbaths in 20:12

7. Jesus declared he is Lord of the Sabbath and it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath in MT 12:1-12.

8. Jesus healed a crippled woman on the Sabbath in LK 13:10-16.

If Jesus thought keeping the Sabbath was an important law, he would have affirmed it on these two occasions, but he did not specifically nullify it either, which jibes/harmonizes perfectly with Paul.

9. Paul taught that a person may rest on the Sabbath or not in CL 2:16, GL 4:9-11 & RM 14:5.

10. HB 3:7-4:11 encourages Christians to enter God’s Sabbath rest or salvation by persevering faith in Christ.
God wrote His law in our hearts Heb 8:10, the Sabbath is God's law, He wrote it, He spoke it and claimed it as His own.

Why the Sabbath is all throughout the NT. Can you please find one verse where God abrogated His Sabbath commandment in scripture. God blessed, only God can reverse Num 23:20 so you will need a thus saith the Lord. If you can't find it your argument is with a much Higher Authority than any human.

Contrary to some who think the sabbath abolished, the Sabbath holds deep personal significance for God, The Bible reveals it is not just a command for God's children made in God's image, but a reflection of God’s own actions and desires. It is a sacred day that symbolizes His work, His covenant, and His holiness. It is a day to be remembered.

In Genesis 2:2-3, we learn that after creating the heavens and the earth in six days, God rested on the seventh day. He blessed and sanctified it, making it holy. This act of resting was not out of necessity but a deliberate choice to set a pattern for His creation. The Sabbath represents completion, satisfaction, and reflection on the goodness of what He had made.

In Exodus 31:16-17, God calls the Sabbath a perpetual covenant and a sign of His relationship with His people:
"It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed."
The Sabbath is described as a day when God was “refreshed,” suggesting His deep satisfaction in creation and His desire to share this joy with humanity. It serves as a reminder of His authority as Creator and His sanctifying presence in the lives of His people.

In Exodus 20:8-11, God ties the command to keep the Sabbath directly to His own example in creation:
"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy… the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God."
By emphasizing that the Sabbath is "of the Lord," it shows that its sanctity comes directly from God’s own character and actions.

Isaiah 58:13-14 reveals God’s desire for the Sabbath to be a delight:
"If you call the Sabbath a delight, the holy day of the Lord honorable… then you shall delight yourself in the Lord."
This highlights the joy God experiences in the Sabbath and His wish for humanity to share in that joy. It is a time for communion, reflection, and renewal in God’s presence.

The Sabbath is important to God because it reflects His rest after creation, serves as a covenant sign of His relationship with His people, and embodies His holiness and joy. It is a day that reveals God’s desire for humanity to join Him in rest, reflection, and spiritual communion.

Peace.

Jesus reaffirms all the promises and blessings of the Sabbath though out the ages of time, starting from the beginning Exo 20;11 Gen 2:1–3, by being Lord of the Sabbath meaning it was never abrogated for God’s people.

I remember years back discussing salvation with a coworker that had similar views of a works-oriented salvation. When I quoted several verses that spoke of believing, he became upset, stood up and proclaimed, ”If it was that easy, anybody could get saved,” Then left muttering to himself.
Look at the way the pharisees treated Christ when he told them all they needed to do was repent and trust him.

Legalism causes alot of anger, because people have to know they meet up to the fake standard they put themselves under. and if they are honest. they know they can't so that causes strife within

Jesus never condemned the Pharisees for keeping God’s commandments, He condemned them for keeping their rules over obeying God’s commandments. They added many rules to God’s law, something we are told not to do Deut 4:2 We are not to add to or take from God’s commandments as if man could ever edit something that came directly from God

Mat 15:1. Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying, 2 “Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”

3 He answered and said to them, “Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? 4 For God commanded, saying, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; (quoting from the Ten Commandments Exo 20:12) and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ 5 But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God”— 6 then he need not honor his father [a]or mother.’ Thus you have made the [b]commandment of God of no effect by your tradition. 7 Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:

8 ‘These people [c]draw near to Me with their mouth,
And honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
9 And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”

Let's watch how those who say God never changes his laws try to squirm out of this

For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy. This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth: To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten. Leviticus 11:45-47
What goes into the mouth doesn't defile a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. Matthew 15:11
But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is profane or unclean. And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God has cleansed, do not call profane. Acts 10:14-15

God hates sin; does that mean He doesn't know the gospel at all?

Or to put it another way, your "logic" isn't logical.

It still does not say it was a consequence of breaking the 7 year sabbath.

There are many scriptures saying why they were taken into captivity idolatry being one of them and as a result, their land rested.
Lev 26:
27 ‘And after all this, if you do not obey Me, but walk contrary to Me,

28 then I also will walk contrary to you in fury;
and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.

29 You[g] shall eat the flesh of your sons, and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters.

30 I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and cast your carcasses on the lifeless forms of your idols;
and My soul shall abhor you.

31 I will lay your cities waste and bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the fragrance of your [h]sweet aromas.

32 I will bring the land to desolation, and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it.

33 I will scatter you among the nations and draw out a sword after you;
your land shall be desolate and your cities waste.

34 Then the land shall enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies’ land;
then the land shall rest and enjoy its sabbaths.


35 As long as it lies desolate it shall rest—
for the time it did not rest on your sabbaths when you dwelt in it.


36 ‘And as for those of you who are left, I will send faintness[i] into their hearts in the lands of their enemies;
the sound of a shaken leaf shall cause them to flee;
they shall flee as though fleeing from a sword, and they shall fall when no one pursues.

37 They shall stumble over one another, as it were before a sword, when no one pursues;
and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

38 You shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

39 And those of you who are left shall waste away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands;
also in their fathers’ iniquities, which are with them, they shall waste away.

40 ‘But if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, with their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, and that they also have walked contrary to Me,

41 and that I also have walked contrary to them and have brought them into the land of their enemies;
if their uncircumcised hearts are humbled, and they accept their guilt—

42 then I will remember My covenant with Jacob, and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham I will remember;
I will remember the land.

43 The land also shall be left empty by them, and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them;
they will accept their guilt, because they despised My judgments and because their soul abhorred My statutes.

44 Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, nor shall I abhor them, to utterly destroy them and break My covenant with them;
for I am the Lord their God.

45 But for their sake I will remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God:
I am the Lord.’ ”

It doesn't say that is the reason they were held in captivity in Babylon is because they only broke the 7 year sabbaths, which is what we were discussing and I'll add some important context that appeared to be missing

Lev 26:1 ‘You shall not make idols for yourselves;
neither a carved image nor a sacred pillar shall you rear up for yourselves;
nor shall you set up an engraved stone in your land, to bow down to it;
for I am the Lord your God.
2 You shall [a]keep My Sabbaths and reverence My sanctuary:
I am the Lord.
3 ‘If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments, and perform them,
4 then I will give you rain in its season, the land shall yield its produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
5 Your threshing shall last till the time of vintage, and the vintage shall last till the time of sowing;
you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
6 I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none will make you afraid;
I will rid the land of evil[b] beasts,
and the sword will not go through your land.
7 You will chase your enemies, and they shall fall by the sword before you.
8 Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight;
your enemies shall fall by the sword before you.
9 ‘For I will look on you favorably and make you fruitful, multiply you and confirm My covenant with you.
10 You shall eat the old harvest, and clear out the old because of the new.
11 I will set My [c]tabernacle among you, and My soul shall not abhor you.
12 I will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people.
13 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves;
I have broken the bands of your yoke and made you walk [d]upright.
14 ‘But if you do not obey Me, and do not observe all these commandments,
15 and if you despise My statutes, or if your soul abhors My judgments, so that you do not perform all My commandments, but break My covenant,
16 I also will do this to you:
I will even appoint terror over you, wasting disease and fever which shall consume the eyes and cause sorrow of heart.
And you shall sow your seed [e]in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
17 I will [f]set My face against you, and you shall be defeated by your enemies.
Those who hate you shall reign over you, and you shall flee when no one pursues you.
18 ‘And after all this, if you do not obey Me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.
19 I will break the pride of your power;
I will make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze.
20 And your strength shall be spent in vain;
for your land shall not yield its produce, nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.
21 ‘Then, if you walk contrary to Me, and are not willing to obey Me, I will bring on you seven times more plagues, according to your sins.
22 I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number;
and your highways shall be desolate.
23 ‘And if by these things you are not reformed by Me, but walk contrary to Me,
24 then I also will walk contrary to you, and I will punish you yet seven times for your sins.
25 And I will bring a sword against you that will execute the vengeance of the covenant;
when you are gathered together within your cities I will send pestilence among you;
and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

The law of God.

Moses was the scribe.

You rework Paul's letters to confirm to your errors. However, Paul never denigrated Gods law.
All scripture is God breathed.

  • Joshua 8:31
    as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the Book of the Law of Moses: “an altar of whole stones over which no man has wielded an iron tool.” And they offered on it burnt offerings to the Lord, and sacrificed peace offerings.

  • Joshua 8:32
    And there, in the presence of the children of Israel, he wrote on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he had written.
  • 1 Kings 2:3
    And keep the charge of the Lord your God: to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commandments, His judgments, and His testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn;

  • 2 Chronicles 30:16
    Tey stood in their place according to their custom, according to the Law of Moses the man of God; the priests sprinkled the blood received from the hand of the Levites.

  • Ezra 3:2
    Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his brethren, arose and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the Law of Moses the man of God.

  • Nehemiah 8:1
    Now all the people gathered together as one man in the open square that was in front of the Water Gate; and they told Ezra the scribe to bring the Book of the Law of Moses, which the Lord had commanded Israel.

  • Daniel 9:13
    “As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us; yet we have not made our prayer before the Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities and understand Your truth.

  • Malachi 4:4
    Remember the Law of Moses, My servant, Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, With the statutes and judgments.

  • Luke 2:22
    Now when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord

  • John 7:23
    If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?

  • Acts 13:39
    and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

  • 1 Corinthians 9:9
    For it is written in the law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.” Is it oxen God is concerned about?

  • Hebrews 10:28
    Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
So you see. While we all agree it is God who gave the law to moses. to call someone out for calling it the law of moses. and saying it is not the law of moses, is just another reason people decry your and those like you religiosity and pride and the thinking you have to destroy those who disagree with you any way you can.

I mean lets see

Joshua called it the law of moses
the author of Kings called it the law of moses
The author of chronicles called it the law of moses
Ezra called it the law of moses
Nehemiah called it the law of Moses
Daniel called it the law of moses
Malachi called it the law of moses
Luke called it the law of Moses
The apostle John called it the law of Moses
the apostle Paul called it the law od moses
The author of Hebrews call it the law of moses.

so when you foolishly attack someone like this.. I guess you should expect people to call you out on it. Especially when you have no basis for why you are attacking this person who called it the same thing all of these great writers of the Scripture we hold dear.
