Do you not understand that each time you evade our questions only serves to further convince the sincere truth seeker of the emptiness of your arguments?

Does breaking the 4th commandment which forbids working on the Sabbath day make one as much a "transgressor of the law" as does breaking the 6th commandment?

Read post 117 that answered your question in detail.
I said..... There is no suprise that James would say this and he believed it.....But we do not. So the answer is no.

Have ya considered joining the Heaven's Gate group. I think they interpret scriptures that way.
Are you really going to mock people who demonstrated way more faith than you guys? They believed Jesus was in a spaceship hidden in the comet tail, and they acted on their belief.

You guys believe (so you say) Christians don't have to keep the Ten Commandments, but somehow can't bring yourselves to publicly declare which ones we're at liberty to break.

He'll have you pulling your hair out, brother, if he doesn't, already.

I had to put him on ignore, as much as I love him. And I virtually never do that.

Trying to justify messing up. What you did with that scripture is exactly what cult leaders do…..God is too stupid to say what He means….let me explain it to you.

And the KJV the preferred Bible of cults.
Hurling baseless accusations is no substitute for argument, friend.

We're waiting for you to tell us why I'm wrong in saying the Mosaic Law was added in 1450 B.C. to the Moral Law of Ten Commandments which go back to the beginning and "stand fast forever and ever".

Good gravy, man, it's a "yes" or "no" question! Which is it?

So this is why there is opposition to the claim that Christians should observe the Saturday Jewish Sabbath in this thread.
What's a "Jewish Sabbath"? I don't know what corrupted version you're reading, but the KJV says the Sabbath goes all the way back to Creation, thousands of years before there was a Jew -

- because the blessing of the Sabbath day mentioned in Exodus is the same blessing that went forth in Eden on the 7th day, as proven by 1 Chronicles 17:27 KJV which says God's blessings are "one and done" and absolutely in no need ever of any mountain top booster shot.

Again Christians do not observe the Law…none of it. “The Law” as a concept does not exist for Christians. Then on the other hand basic morals taught by Christ and the Apostles are basic morals….We do not steal….or commit adultery….or murder, but not because of the “the Law” but because of the teaching of Christ and the Apostles. The Old Testament Laws mean nothing to Christians.

By the numbers….

1. “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” .... We have two other Gods.

2. “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.” ... We blow this out of the water ten ways to Sunday.

3. “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.” ... We show respect to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

4. “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.” ... Christian are not required to keep the 7th day holy or the Saturday Jewish Sabbath

5. “Honour thy father and thy mother.” ... Basic Christian morals

6. “Thou shalt not kill.” ... Do not murder, basic Christian morals

7. “Thou shalt not commit adultery.” ... Basic Christian morals

8. “Thou shalt not steal.”.…Basic Christians morals

9. “Thou shalt not bear false witness against your neighbor. If we are on a witness stand we will not lie.

10. Thou shalt not covet……Good advise.

The word Sabbath does not appear in Genesis. God did not call the 7th day a Sabbath now the Jews might of thought of it as a Sabbath.

Because there is no scripture that defines the Law in Exodus back in Genesis. So you are wrong.

Why its important to keep the Sabbath?

Ex 31:
[16] Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.

Gentiles are not the children of Israel.
Converted Gentiles are sons of God.

Children are in a ‘learning’ phase….
Learning about God, Learning how to worship God. The Sabbath, The Sabbath’s are routine Traditions in remembrance of the Holiness of God, taught to the “children of Israel”, to remember and teach to generation after generation of “the children of Israel, “…

Why is it “important” ?
Because the “children of Israel” have historically and to this day been the most “persecuted” people in the world.
The “children of Israel”, keeping a ‘strong remembrance and bond with God”, keeps them comforted (by God) THROUGH their continual “persecutions”.

Glory to God,
Taken

Does James say if you do not keep saturday sabbath you are a transgressor?

If you continue in religious works under the law you will remain under wrath.


Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said:

“So I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest,’
For we who have BELIEVED do enter into That rest
BELIEVED .
BELIEVED in JESUS CHRIST . Yes indeed . That is WHO paul was a pointing too when he said
WE who have BELIEVED and the rest HE spoke of is
COME YE UNTO ME all you who do LABOR and are weary and ye shall find REST for your souls .
POINT to JESUS CHRIST to the last breath my friend . TO the last breath .

It is written that man shall not live by food , bread only but by EVERY WORD of the LORD .
THOSE WHO LIVE BY JESUS CHRIST LIVE BY THE WORD of GOD
and that which is pleasing unto GOD is pleasing unto their soul .
Let us remember this always .
For many live by that which is pleasing to the flesh and find men whose doctrines match their hearts desires .
they live and eat by the precepts of men and their words and not by THE WORD and words of GOD and of the LAMB .
Remember this the next time a man arises
and says HAS GOD , CHRIST really said and then try and twist it unto their own destruction and unto the destruction
of all who embrace a lie and not rather the truth .
Yes phoneman . Many are now embracing a very broad path to GOD and on this path it honors sins
thus in effect it has tried to turn GOD , CHRIST into a minisitir of sin , of lies and of death .
IT AINT GOD
IT AINT CHRIST
IT AINT OF THE SPIRIT . it cometh of the world , men of this world who are under the influence
of he who has always desired to be AS GOD and through the lusts of the flesh he gets the worship .

Notice also what john himself would later write to the church about who is an anti christ .
He who denies JESUS IS THE CHRIST , he is anti christ .
I say this to remind us that we all must be on gaurd with this other socially engineered so called inclusive love braod path go spell
that more and more are going under as we speak .
TIME to put the TRUE GOSPEL , FIRST again .
Todays so called gospel only teaches certain works , aspects , teachings JESUS may have taught
but will not PREACH the DIRE NEED TO BELIEVE ON HIM .
thus its all in vain they do teach , preach and build .

Do you not understand that each time you evade our questions only serves to further convince the sincere truth seeker of the emptiness of your arguments?

Does breaking the 4th commandment which forbids working on the Sabbath day make one as much a "transgressor of the law" as does breaking the 6th commandment?
Romans 3:20
Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the law.
For the law merely brings awareness of sin.

If you are attempting to please God by not working on saturday, then you have not entered His REST.

Hebrews 4:1-3
Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it.
For indeed the Gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said:

“So I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest,’ ”

John 15:10
As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.
If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.
