so He lied when He said the Sabbath was made for MAN? Stop making Him a liar. Just stop already...if Sabbath was made for just Israel He would have said that...He even said He was here only for the lost tribes of Israel and salvation is of the joo so He obviously knew when to be exclusive...but when it came to the Sabbath He was not...said it was for man as in all mankind...as in "for God so loved the world" not just da joo...
God said the Sabbath was given only to the nation of Israel, not to anyone else.
The Sabbath was made for man because the purpose that Christ came was for mankind - to reconcile all to God through the blood of Christ. Jesus is the Sabbath Rest. He said so and so does Heb 4.
You also ignore the fact that of the 10 commandments the sabbath one is the only one that specifically addresses it is for the stranger alien non native traveling with them...so right in the commandment itself we see it alone is specifically for Gentiles...
The NT does not quote the Mosaic Law regarding the Sabbath. It is not commanded and is not even mentioned after Acts but once. Funny how it's mentioned all the way through the OT to ISRAEL, but not once to anyone in the NT, especially not to Gentile believers in Christ. The Sabbath is fulfilled in Christ. The 7th day remains as a holy day in remembrance of creation. But one does not need to take a day of rest in order to remember. Heb 4 clearly states that in Christ we rest from our labors, just as God rested on the 7th day. I just love that passage. It broke off the yoke from my neck, because trying to keep the Sabbath was definitely a yoke that I could not bear. I assume that you are sacrificing animals in order to honor God as He commanded on the Sabbath?
You accept the other 9 but not the Sabbath...laughable
I don't accept any of the Law of Moses. I follow Christ and His Law.
Ex 31
12 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you. 14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
See? He said "MY Sabbath" not Israel's or da joos...it is His and He gave to us all of us...a gift if you wish to receive it...
The Sabbath was given to, spoken to the children of Israel, as long as they were under the Mosaic Covenant. You can't have it both ways. Either you are in Christ, the new covenant or you are under Moses and the old covenant.
you really are getting desperate and histrionic...
It sounds more like you are getting desperate to prove something to yourself or God. I am free of all that. Thank God.
Those without sin cast the first stone...the need to shed blood is over now...but judgement day is coming and here are those that kept the commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus...not just resting in Him...
The commandment of Jesus was a new one, per Him. To believe on Him and To love one another as He loved us and gave His life for us.
I do not fear judgment day at all, in the least. Jesus is my Sabbath Rest - that is eternal. I don't have to worry about a day and wonder if I am keep it like He said to. Good luck with keeping it according to the Mosaic Law. There was never a disannulment of the sacrifices under the Mosaic Covenant, just so you know.
Imagine the pattern if we had not sinned...6 days work and God rests but we don't?
If we are in Christ Jesus, who is our Sabbath Rest and we are resting from our labors in Him, then we are resting as God did on the 7th day of creation.
Now continue to think...the other days are not Holy not set apart...why would a Holy day be needed? Just for Him?
For the believer, every day is Holy unto the Lord. I would not know how to live any other way.
Does God need rest literally? Or did He not foresee we would need rest not spiritual rest as He rested but actual rest physical literal rest...that is grace! Such mercy!
The Sabbath day was never a day of rest. You are kidding yourself if you think it was. It was a burden and a yoke.
And no, I do not need a day to lay around and do nothing. Jesus did not, neither can I.
there is no record of anyone NOT keeping the Sabbath either...Noah had years months and weeks...he was blameless meaning obedient...and other commands were understood...Joseph knew adultery was wrong and a sin to God...Abraham kept all the commands...Melchizedek as a high priest ran what type of law and order? Was it contrary to this law? Under him were you allowed to kill steal fornicate? Rest on Wednesdays?
The Sabbath was not given as a day of rest and to be kept holy until God gave it to Israel. God said that the commandments He gave to Israel were not given to anyone until then.
Again, you have no problem with the other 9 commandments being eternal set in place from the beginning...just that Sabbath one...
I do not keep or obey the Mosaic Law. I keep and obey the Law of Christ.
Moses asked pharaoh for a cessation of work for the people...shabbos was the translated word...and they had no idea what it was as they were slaves captive in a strange land...
Exactly my point, because no one was keeping a sabbath day until God gave it to Israel at Mt Sinai. The word Sabbath does not occur in the OT until Ex 16 to Israel.
You make it seem like the Creator of all cobbled up a list as the needs arose and progressed up to 10 based on circumstances that arose...
The commandments that God gave to Israel were a brand new thing. That is why He spent days giving them all to Moses and having him write them in the Book of the Law.
The 10 words are actually descriptions of what it was like where God lives and the place made for man...you know on earth as it is in heaven
Not hardly - but you do have a great imagination.
The irony you use the translation that names Jesus instead of Joshua as unable to bring them rest...
But Jesus nor Joshua brought them to rest is why a Sabbath keeping remains for the people of God until we enter His rest...
Jesus and Joshua are the same name. Perhaps you should study that out sometime.
