I won't enter a debate, but just to explain.
If dinner isn't prepared on early Friday, for whatever reason, it's an easy dinner. House is cleaned early Friday.
So rest starts Friday sundown to Saturday sundown, a little studying and quiet, no secular television or music, until sundown Saturday.
Because Hebrews 4, particularly vs. 8-9 and Matthew 5:17-20, but I won't get too deep into it because I am sleepy.
Basically, it's not hard. It's like what? Up to 12 waking hours? Not a burden, the Lord gives me rest and I accept.
Thank you for sharing, brother.
I reckon it depends on if you are doing it for the same reasons the Jews are; for obtaining eternal life.
Matthew 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master,
what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God:
but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? 21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. 22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. 23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? 26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Since we are saved and have His righteousness in us apart from the law by faith in Jesus Christ, is why we can rest in Him on the sabbath rather than "work" in observing the sabbath to obtain salvation by. If you have any fear regarding breaking the sabbath, then you need to give that fear to Jesus, because Him dwelling in you is how He can make you stand in that day before Him regardless of profaning the sabbath.
So hope in Jesus Christ alone in bringing you Home to the Marriage Supper above but if you divide that hope on observing the sabbath day, then that hope in Jesus ceases to be hope and made void by the law.
Romans 4:13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: 15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
If I was observing the sabbath day, I'd probably doubt myself for why I was observing it, especially if I fear breaking it for that could mean I was not believing my hope in Jesus Christ for salvation was enough.
For me to repent and not skip back into that apostate thinking nor backsliding, I would honor the Lord on Sunday which is not the same as observing the sabbath, even though there are some that believe the sabbath was moved to Sunday, but it was not. If I really believe the Lord has saved me and is able to make me stand without observing the sabbath day, then regardless that I am profaning the sabbath, Him being in me ( 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 & 2 Corinthians 13:5 ) and with me always ( Matthew 28:20 ) is why I am guiltless ( Matthew 12:1-7 ) and how He is able to make me stand. Romans 14:4-8 That is how Jesus Christ has become my rest for why I would honor Him on Sunday as the Lord's day of His resurrection for why I and other believers would worship Him on that day for what He has done in having saved us by believing in Him alone.
