ARE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR US?

[Ronald Nolette]

How do you know you are but a child of Israel? Many peoples in Europe, North America and elsewhere are from the lost tribes, all records were lost, millions upon millions are from the lost tribes and do not know it.. But God promised he knows for each one of us and they shall return to the promised land when Jesus returns.

Do you remember Jesus sent his disciples to the four corners of the world to teach about all he did and say? Jesus did teach about the Sabbath and the other Commandments as well. Jesus the disciples and Paul followed the sabbath as it is written in Matt, Luke, Mark, John and Acts.

They followed the Sabbath, because they were all Jews! Gentiles are not bound to the Sabbath. Paul made that clear in Galatians.

God made the Sabbath a clear test of the heart. In the wilderness, before Israel even reached Mount Sinai, He said in Exodus 16:4 that He would give them manna to test them, to see if they would walk in His law. When some still went out on the Sabbath to gather, God said in Exodus 16:28, “How long do you refuse to keep My commandments and My laws?” This shows the Sabbath was already known, and breaking it revealed disobedience.

Later, God explained through Ezekiel that the Sabbath was a sign between Him and His people. In Ezekiel 20:12 He said He gave them His Sabbaths so they would know and REMEMBER He is the Lord who makes them holy and who PROVIDES. But they refused, for in Ezekiel 20:13 He said they greatly defiled His Sabbaths. Again in Ezekiel 20:19-20 He told them to keep His ways and honor His Sabbaths, for these were the sign that they belonged to Him.

God used the Sabbath to reveal what was inside the heart. It showed whether His people trusted His word and whether they truly walked with Him. It was not only a rule but a witness of loyalty. Those who kept it showed faith in God’s voice. Those who rejected it showed a stubborn spirit. For this reason the Sabbath stood as a sign between God and His people, marking who listened to Him and who walked in their own path.

Who are God's people? They are those who do His will.

Sorry, but you made a subtle shift when you say the Sabbath is for Gods people! It is for Israel and Israel alone to keep for all generations. If a gentile believer wishes to keep sabbath, they are free to do so, but they are not under any compulsion from god to do so. We are the church, not Israel! And the Sabbath is for Israel. As I showed from Scripture. Do not change Israel to "Gods people".

 

[Ronald Nolette]

What I meant was he restated what the ten commandments conveyed. We thru the Spirit are able to reflect the intent of the commandments. Paul did not command the sabbath.

The intnent of the Commandments was to convict of sin! Never to live up to for any kind of right standing with god.

 

[Ronald Nolette]

I believe the Sabbath was made for man... not the Jews. It was incorporated in the 10 commandments and is the only one that starts with "remember." It is the ONLY day that God made holy....

And as explicitly spelled out in Scripture, it is a sign between God and Israel, not mankind. You have to remember who god was speaking to.

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.

15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.

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

17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

It doesn't get any clearer than that!

 

[Ronald Nolette]

I follow what Jesus taught, so I cannot accept the idea that the Sabbath no longer matters just because Paul did not command it in his letters. Jesus never set the Sabbath aside. He said He is the Lord of the Sabbath in Matthew 12:8, and that shows it still belongs to Him. He also told His disciples in Matthew 24:20 to pray that their flight would not be on the Sabbath, and this was a warning for the future. If the Sabbath no longer mattered, Jesus would not have spoken this way.

The disciples who walked with Him kept the Sabbath even after the cross. In Luke 23:56 the women rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment. In Acts 13, Acts 17 and Acts 18, the apostles kept meeting on the Sabbath as their regular way of worship. They followed their Master’s example.

Jesus also said in Matthew 5:17-19 that nothing from the Law will pass away until heaven and earth pass away. Heaven and earth are still here, so I hold to His words.

And the Sabbath and feast days Paul speaks about in his letters are not the same as the Sabbath of the Ten Commandments. Paul was talking about yearly and monthly sabbath and other observances that were part of Israel’s ceremonies, not the weekly Sabbath that God spoke with His own voice and wrote with His own finger. The weekly Sabbath was never called a “shadow”. It was part of God’s moral law, and Jesus treated it that way.

I am saddened that you put a sad emoji on my post that was what the commandments are! Do you wish to keep th ecommandments? For what purpose?

Jesus is our righteousness so obeying rules will not make us righteous or more righteous. We obey God and that included 9 of the ten laws written in stone carried over to the church. But I obey them for love, not to get God to be pleased with me.

 

[Ronald Nolette]

prove it, show me the verses saying we dont have to keep the sabbath. there are none. however the believers of Christ do what he asks because we Love Him. and he did say clearly to keep his commandments.

Why don't you prove the church is under obligation to keep Saturday as Sabbath!

But as for the church?

10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.

Romans 14

King James Version

​

14 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

This means the Sabbath as well!

Exodus 31:12-17

King James Version

​

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.
15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

It doesn't get clearer than this- Sabbath is for the children of Israel- not us Gentiles!

 

[LoveYeshua]

They followed the Sabbath, because they were all Jews! Gentiles are not bound to the Sabbath. Paul made that clear in Galatians.

Sorry, but you made a subtle shift when you say the Sabbath is for Gods people! It is for Israel and Israel alone to keep for all generations. If a gentile believer wishes to keep sabbath, they are free to do so, but they are not under any compulsion from god to do so. We are the church, not Israel! And the Sabbath is for Israel. As I showed from Scripture. Do not change Israel to "Gods people"

A person who says the Sabbath is only for Israel makes two mistakes. The first mistake is that they forget what God said in the beginning before Israel even existed. The second mistake is that they forget what Jesus Himself said.

In Genesis, God blessed the seventh day and made it holy long before Abraham, long before Jacob, long before the nation of Israel. This means the Sabbath was not born with Israel. It was born with creation. God rested on the seventh day and set it apart for all mankind. When Jesus later spoke about the Sabbath, He pointed back to creation. This shows that it was not something temporary or limited.

In Exodus, God says clearly that the Sabbath is a command from Him. He does not call it “Israel’s day.” He calls it the Lord’s day made holy by Him. When strangers who lived among Israel kept the Sabbath, God counted them as His people. He said the same law applies to the stranger as to the native born. This means the Sabbath was never closed only for blood-Israel, because God Himself opened the door for anyone who wanted to join Him.

Jesus spoke of the Sabbath as something good and holy, a gift from God. He never said it ended. He never said it belongs only to Israel. Instead, He taught how to keep it with mercy, kindness, and a clean heart. He also warned that breaking the commandments makes a person least in the kingdom. The Sabbath is part of the commandments.

His disciples kept the Sabbath after His death and after His resurrection. They did not treat it as a “Jewish only” day. They kept doing what Jesus taught: honoring God’s holy day.

When someone says, “Do not change Israel to God’s people,” the answer is simple. God Himself does this, not us. In the Old Testament God calls anyone who fears Him and keeps His covenant “My people,” even if they are not born Israelites. He joined them to Himself the same way He joined Israel. So when the Bible uses the words “God’s people,” it is not limited to bloodlines. It is about those who listen and obey Him.

The Sabbath is part of God’s covenant, God’s law, and God’s blessing. If someone wants to deny this, they are arguing against the words of God and the words of Jesus. The Sabbath was created before Israel, commanded to Israel, opened to all who joined the Lord, honored by Jesus, kept by His disciples, and never removed by the One who gave it.

This is why the claim that “the Sabbath is only for Israel” cannot stand. The truth is simple. The Sabbath belongs to the Lord, and anyone who follows the Lord may keep it As God Intended.

Jesus is our righteousness so obeying rules will not make us righteous or more righteous. We obey God and that included 9 of the ten laws written in stone carried over to the church. But I obey them for love, not to get God to be pleased with me.

The idea that the Sabbath is only for Israel is not what God or Jesus ever taught. In the beginning, LIke I mentioned before, before any nation existed, God blessed the seventh day and made it holy. This was a creation gift for all people. When Jesus spoke about the Sabbath, He pointed back to creation, not to Israel, showing that it began with the whole human family.

When God gave the commandments in Exodus, He called the seventh day the Sabbath of the Lord. He did not say it was Israel’s private day. He said it was His day. God also welcomed anyone from outside Israel who wanted to follow Him, and He said the same law applied to both the native and the stranger. This shows clearly that the Sabbath was never closed to others.

Jesus kept the Sabbath and showed the true way to keep it, with mercy, rest, and kindness. He never said it ended. He never limited it to Israel. He warned that breaking the commandments makes a person least in the kingdom, and the Sabbath is one of those commandments.

After Jesus rose from the dead, His disciples continued to keep the Sabbath because they never believed Jesus had cancelled it.

When someone says the Sabbath is only for Israel, they ignore what God said about people who join themselves to Him. God calls anyone who fears Him and keeps His covenant “My people,” even if they are not born Israelites. God Himself made this clear.

It doesn't get clearer than this- Sabbath is for the children of Israel- not us Gentiles!

You are using verses that do not speak about the Sabbath at all, so they cannot be used to say the church is free from it. Let me answer each part plainly.

Galatians 4:10–11
Paul is warning people who were going back to their old religious calendars and pagan customs. He is not talking about the Sabbath God made holy at creation. The Sabbath is not a “man-made day.” It is the only day God blessed and sanctified with His own words. Nothing in that passage mentions the Ten Commandments or the Sabbath command, so it does not prove your point.

Romans 14
This passage deals with matters where God did not give a command, like people choosing their own fasting days or personal practices. These were “disputable” because God never commanded them. But the Sabbath is not a personal choice. It is part of the Ten Commandments that God spoke Himself. Jesus kept it, taught it, and never placed it in the category of optional days. Romans 14 cannot be used to cancel something God commanded at creation.

Exodus 31
You say this proves the Sabbath is only for Israel, but that is not correct. God spoke to Israel because Israel was the only nation following Him at that time. But God never closed the Sabbath to other nations. In the Old Testament, He welcomed strangers who joined themselves to Him, and He said that anyone who keeps His Sabbath and walks in His covenant will be received by Him. The Sabbath is a sign of belonging to God, and anyone who follows God is counted among His people.

None of the verses you quoted say the Sabbath was cancelled. None of them say it became optional. None of them say Gentiles are free from it. Jesus kept the Sabbath. Jesus taught the commandments. His disciples continued to keep it after His resurrection. The verses you used do not speak against the Sabbath God blessed at creation, so they cannot be used to remove it.

 

[shepherdsword]

[Exodus 34:27-28 KJV] 27 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel. 28 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.

The ten commandments are the words of the covenant.

The covenant was made with Moses and Israel.

[Deu 4:13-14 KJV] 13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, [even] ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone. 14 And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.

The ten commandments of the covenant would be part of the law given to Israel to obey.

We are not under the covenant and are not commanded to keep the ten commandments.

Paul did relay the essence of the ten commandments, with the exception of the sabbath, in his epistles.

PAUL UPHELD THE TEN COMMANDMENTS​

In Paul we find our ten commandments to obey.

Not only are they for us....the Lord Jesus raises the standard for his followers. "Do not kill" "Whoever hates his brother without a cause it guilty of murder. There is danger in even declaring someone worthless. Not only is adultery forbidden to us...we can't even look. The Jews had a special sabbath day but Hebrews 3-4 teaches that there is another rest that we should fear if we do not enter into it. All of the 10 commandments are repeated for our observation in the NT. In fact...we have been given the grace to obey them. However, the 613 of the Mosaic law? Those do not apply.

 

[Brakelite]

Paul did not command us to keep the sabbath in any of his epistles

[Col 2:16 KJV] "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath [days]:".......... We arent to be judged if we dont keep the sabbath

[Rom 14:5 KJV] "One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind."
[Rom 14:6 KJV] "He that regardeth the day, regardeth [it] unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard [it]. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks."..............Paul allows us to be persuaded in our minds about what is not commanded

Paul didn't have to command anyone to keep the Sabbath. The authority of God Himself speaking from Mount Sinai was sufficient. That God chose to write it down on stone with His own finger testifies to its immutability. Sabbath observance by Israel had been practised since time immemorial, and the early church, including Gentiles because all were one in the body of Christ, (there were no separate churches or meetings for Jew and Gentile) simply carried on that practise, having absolutely no directive from either the Lord Himself or the apostles that there was any change.

 

[Brakelite]

We are the church, not Israel!

The church is the true Israel. The nation and/or any other institution or group claiming to be such are liars.

“Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. ”

He didn't have to command anyone not to kill but he did anyway. The rest we have is one that must be entered into everyday and does beyond keeping any certain day. Please deal with the verses Doug presented. You totally ignored them.

 

[Doug]

The intnent of the Commandments was to convict of sin! Never to live up to for any kind of right standing with god.

Paul states otherwise........[Rom 8:4 KJV] "That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."

The ten commandments are covenant and Israel was given the covenants not us.................[Rom 9:4 KJV] "Who are Israelites; to whom [pertaineth] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service [of God], and the promises;"

You stated Hebrews; Hebrews was written for the believing remnant of Israel who were facing persecution and being urged not to revert back to the temple Levitical worship and lose reward of inheritance in the land and kingdom

Yes Paul restates all the ten commandments except the sabbath. Israel was punished for not keeping the covenant.................
[Num 15:30 KJV] "But the soul that doeth [ought] presumptuously, [whether he be] born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people."
[Num 15:31 KJV] "Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity [shall be] upon him."...................we have forgiveness. We can keep the righteousness by walking after the Spirit

Paul does restate all the ten commandments except for the sabbath

 

[shepherdsword]

Yes Paul restates all the ten commandments

Then they are for us...why is that so hard to understand? Are you a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ? Because if you state that only Paul's writings are for us then you cannot be. There is a reason why the words of Jesus are in red.

except the sabbath. Israel was punished for not keeping the covenant.................

The sabbath rest is mentioned in Hebrews 3-4. not as a particular day...but as a spiritual reality we must enter into.

 

[Brakelite]

The thing everyone is missing is the holiness of the day. Made holy before sin, and mandated to be kept holy by those to whom it was given... That is mankind. It is still holy. Not holy in and of itself, but holy because of the blessing placed upon it, and the presence of God within it. Remembering to keep it holy is incumbent upon every child of God, Jew or Gentile, as a recognition and confession that He alone is the Creator of all things, and Redeemer of all men.

Only Israel was given covenants.............[Rom 9:4 KJV] "Who are Israelites; to whom [pertaineth] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service [of God], and the promises;"

“9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. ”

[Exo 34:28 KJV] "And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments."
[Deu 4:13 KJV] "And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, [even] ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone."...............we arent under the law which includes having to keep the ten commandments.........[Gal 5:18 KJV] "But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law."

 

[David in NJ]

In Paul we find our ten commandments to obey.

ABSOLUTELY NOT

Only in the LORD Jesus Christ have the Ten Commandments been Fulfilled.

The Ten Commandments are in CHRIST

Paul and us who are SAVED find Safety in CHRIST and HE alone empowers us by the HOLY SPIRIT to Obey His Commandments
For no man has ever kept all Ten Commandments but CHRIST

JESUS pointed this out in His Gospel = keep reading and praying as you do, the Gospel of John
