God only gives one day as the Sabbath in His Commandments, and nowhere does He changed that, its that simple.
Exodus 20:8
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Hobie.
I agree that the Sabbath was commanded to the Jews, and Orthodox Jews to this day still observe their Sabbaths.
No matter if you believe that God Himself declared this in Gen 2, or that it was the Word (Jesus) it still was of Jewish origin.
Jesus , Himself, said in Mathew 15:24
But He answered and said, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
NOT US INITIALLY.
And this is very significant when you think about this...... God's chosen had their messiah sent to them
through the bloodline of David... and He taught in the synagogues and he celebrated all the Jewish holidays,
and every apostle was Jewish.
It was not until we were grafted into the tree that we had the opportunity to achieve salvation. NOT BEFORE...
That Sunday morning when the tomb was found empty... we have no idea of when Jesus was resurrected....
was the first day that anyone living actually saw Him and spoke with Him to me was a new beginning.
I do not celebrate the Sabbath, that was originally for God's chosen.... I celebrate the Day of the Lord, which
was the confirmation of all I have been taught about Jesus.
You will say I am wrong.....
We are just going to have to agree to disagree on this.
Matthew 5:19
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
You are referencing to this from the Sermon on the Mount? The sermon meant to teach the multitudes
of people who came to hear him? The sermon meant to also teach his disciples?
The sermon directed at a decisively Jewish crowd.
Obviously so because of Jesus own words...."17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. "
The Jews who lived and breathed the Law because that was how it had been handed down over the generations...
And the Jews, not the Gentiles for Jesus had said in Mathew 10:5
These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them: “Do not go in the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans;
WE.... you and I... were not in contention for His attention Yet. WE were not his chosen..... we were grafted in .
Go re-read Romans 10 and 11.
(This is the most solid argument against Predestination I can think of..... (at least in the Calvin vein of things)
