Does the inclusion of the Sabbath prove that the Ten Commandments were for Israel alone?

[Lambano]

Can't you rest without making it a religious thing? I sleep every day. (nap too)

[

I take my Sabbath 20 minutes at a time.

 

[Lambano]

Only if we got caught, I suppose. - LOL

 

[Sister-n-Christ]

From my perspective, the moral law is covered under God's law of human conscience,
which came before the law given by God to the Israelites alone through Moses.

The inclusion of the Sabbath commandment shows that this SET of commandments was for the Israelites alone.
Remove the Sabbath commandment and you basically have God's law of human conscience.

[

The Sabbath was made by God for man.

And when God dictated his moral laws to Moses he said, remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.

Also,remember what Paul said?
Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath.
Colossians 2:16

If we are all one in Christ,who can lay judgement against any Christian who observes the Sabbath gift?

 

[St. SteVen]

And when God dictated his moral laws to Moses he said, remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.

There was another thing he wanted them to remember. (slaves in Egypt)

Deuteronomy 5:14-15 NIV
but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your ox, your donkey or any of your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns, so that your male and female servants may rest, as you do. 15 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day.

I agree.
My only objection is when someone tells me what day.

Who would change the day God decreed as the Sabbath day he made for us?

Not a problem at all. God's Sabbath rest existed before Israel or Jews.

 

[St. SteVen]

The Sabbath was given by God to the Israelites alone through Moses.

- To whom was the Sabbath commandment given?

Exodus 31:13 NIV
“Say to the Israelites, ‘You must observe my Sabbaths.
This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come,
so you may know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy.

Ezekiel 20:12 NIV
Also I gave them my Sabbaths as a sign between us,
so they would know that I the Lord made them holy.

Ezekiel 20:20 NIV
Keep my Sabbaths holy, that they may be a sign between us.
Then you will know that I am the Lord your God.”

--- MANNA and SABBATH ---

Exodus 16:21-23 NIV
Each morning everyone gathered as much as they needed, and when the sun grew hot, it melted away.
22 On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much—two omers[a] for each person—
and the leaders of the community came and reported this to Moses.
23 He said to them, “This is what the Lord commanded:
‘Tomorrow is to be a day of sabbath rest, a holy sabbath to the Lord.
So bake what you want to bake and boil what you want to boil.
Save whatever is left and keep it until morning.’”

There is no evidence that the Israelites observed the Sabbath before Exodus chapter 16. (manna)

You're ignoring the fact the Sabbath did not originate on Saini.
You're also ignoring God said to remember the Sabbath day. Which means a recollection of something that preceded that day.

 

[St. SteVen]

You're ignoring the fact the Sabbath did not originate on Saini.

The Sabbath originated with manna collection in Exodus chapter 16.

You're also ignoring God said to remember the Sabbath day. Which means a recollection of something that preceded that day.

No, it means to observe, a remembrance. (regular observance)
They were supposed to remember that they were slaves in Egypt.
Were you a slave in Egypt.?

Deuteronomy 5:15 NIV
Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day.

They were to remember the Sabbath day after their exodus. Bringing to their minds the observance of Sabbath. When for centuries as slaves in Egypt there was no such thing allowed.

 

[Reggie Belafonte]

If one rejects Sunday is the start of The New day, nor truly regards Christ Jesus. for such a one is only looking for the 2ed coming. because you do not truly believe in Christ Jesus.

you may have a Jesus ? but you think it's only a get out of Jail card to believe ! you believe in Jesus but do not Serve him, that's typical of people who are clearly not Saved.

The Devil himself believed in Jesus, but did not respect he was the Christ Jesus ! but the poor Devil himseld had no hold of Jesus because Jesus was the Christ ! Lord of Lords.

See that Christ means Lord ! The Devil had no power over 'Christ' Jesus ! but does the Devil have you under his power ? are you truly Saved in Christ Jesus or Mans works ? do you have the strength to deal with such temptations or truly understand such ?

It's not about the Day truly anymore but the Key issue is still the point ! for it was made for Man, that's the reason. it's for you all, but the Key point is keep it in your heart regardless everyday to call apon as need be, why because when one is truely Saved you are a servant of God Israel !

The word Israel refers to those who are pure in heart and will see God ! Psalm 73

“Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws” (Genesis 26:5, ESV)

Abraham pre existed the Israelites entry into Egypt.

There is no evidence that Abraham observed the Sabbath.
What commands were given to Abraham?

Adam and Eve were created on the sixth day.
Did they observe the seventh day Sabbath? (after six days work) ???
What day would that be?

[

 

[Lambano]

What happened when A&E ate from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil?

Was the shame they experienced a psychological construct built through a childhood socialization processes?

[

Who told them they were naked and should be ashamed of it?

 

[Sister-n-Christ]

There is no evidence that Abraham observed the Sabbath.
What commands were given to Abraham?

Galatians 3:17 This is what I mean: the law, which came 430 years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to make the promise void.

THE LAW OF GOD IN THE BOOK OF GENESIS

Adam and Eve were created on the sixth day.
Did they observe the seventh day Sabbath? (after six days work) ???
What day would that be?

[

Hebrews 4:8

God sanctified the 7th day Sabbath as his day of rest in Genesis. Jesus later said Sabbath was made for man.

So yes,Adam and Eve would have known Sabbath day because God made it for man.And they were the first people he created.

 

[Brakelite]

The word "Sabbath" means to cease. It is singular in the decalogue...FOR A REASON.

It is the ending of the covenant and the installation of a New Covenant....one not focused on race as that would make God a racist. But a Covenant with the WHOLE WORLD. that whosoever believes will not perish but have everlasting life.

Today we still believe in The Sabbath Day but not as a cease of work on Saturday but in the Resurrection on Sunday....which is the hope of every believer.

Of course you would have a direct source to the authority upon which such a change was made right?

 

[St. SteVen]

Who told them they were naked and should be ashamed of it?

Exactly.
That's the question.
The serpent warned them, sort of.

Genesis 3:4-5 NIV
“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.
5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened,
and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
