Yes that was my question.
It is to your shame that you don't have a scripture to provide us, where Jesus instructed us to keep the Sabbath.
If you have such a scripture please post it here and now.
I have chased your links and none of them lead to any such scripture.
Here is a scripture from Jesus about the Sabbath -
For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath. But Jesus answered them, “
My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.”
Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him,
because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God. John 5:16-18
- Jesus broke the Sabbath [according to the law] and Jesus made Himself as equal to God.
Now if you have a scripture from Jesus that commands the Church, under the New Covenant, to observe the Sabbath in a specific way, please post it here for us, as I have done, so we can discuss it.
If Jesus commands the Church to observe the Sabbath, then I will have no choice but to repent, and follow His instructions for Sabbath keeping under the New Covenant.

Sorry my friend I am not interested in arguing with you. You either have God's WORD for what you believe or you do not. It seems you do not. As I have asked you earlier, I am happy to have a discussion with you if it goes both ways. If you can agree then fine if not let's agree to disagree and remain friends.
God's 4th Commandments is about not doing our own work. It is not about doing GOOD in the Sabbath and doing God's WORD. Jesus did God's WORK and taught it is lawful to do Good on the Sabbath. Jesus was not out doing his own work of carpentry and earning a living and breaking the Sabbath. He was out healing, teaching the Word of God, and helping others. This is lawful to do on the Sabbath. * Please read Matthew 12:1-12.
If Jesus broke God's Commandments he would then be a sinner. If Jesus broke God's LAW and was a sinner then how could he be our perfect sacrifice and the lamb of God that takes away all the sins of the World ? If he has his own sins to bare he could not bare ours or be perfect.
Now if you agree to respond to my posts and all the questions and scriptures in them I am happy to have a discussion with you. If you ignore my posts, questions and scriptures in them that disagree with you then it is not a discussion. You are free to believe as you wish.
DID JESUS REALLY BRAKE GOD'S 4th COMMANDMENT (SABBATH) OR THE PHARASEES INTERPRETATION OF IT?
Let's look at the scriptures?
In the days of Jesus the religious teachers of the day had placed so many man made traditions around Sabbath keeping that it had become a burden to the people. It was though in their eyes MANKIND was made for the Sabbath. It was so bad in fact that these religious teachers were constantly looking for ways to accuse Jesus of breaking the Sabbath (
Matthew 12:1-2; 10;
Mark 3:2;
Luke 6:1-2).
Jesus rebuked these religious teachers by saying that the Sabbath was made for MAN and NOT MAN for the SABBATH (
Mark 2:27 and that he was the CREATOR or LORD of the Sabbath (
Mark 2:28) and it was LAWFUL to do GOOD on the SABBATH (Matthew 12:12)
The difference in what Jesus was teaching and what the Jews taight is that Jesus did God's WORK on the Sabbath and so should we everyday but God's WORK is not the work we are commanded NOT to do on God's Sabbath for it is lawful to do GOOD on the Sabbath. It is our own WORK that we are commanded not to do (
Exodus 20:8-11)
A few other OLD TESTAMENT references from Jesus in relation to doing good in the Sabbath..
Have you not read what David did, when he was hungry, and they that were with him; How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the showbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them who were with him, but only for the priests?
Or have you not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless? Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? How much then is a man better than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
BUT WHAT DOES GOD'S 4TH COMMANDMENT SAY?
Exodus 20
8, Remember the SABBATH DAY, to KEEP IT HOLY. <Why?> Because God made it Holy for mankind and commands us to keep it as a Holy day)
9, Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work:
10, But the SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: <WHY>
11, For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the SEVENTH DAY: wherefore the LORD BLESSED THE SABBATH, and HALLOWED IT.
Doing GOD'S WORK is NOT what the 4th Commandment is talking about please read it.
God's 4th Commandments says we are NOT to do OUR OWN WORK.
Yep NO secular business or paid work, no unnecessary domestic work, no buying and selling, shopping. This can be done on the other days of the week. God has made the SEVENTH DAY a HOLY DAY and we are to REST in HIM by FAITH in the LORD of the SABBATH. This is the 4th Commandment and one of the God's 10.
Jesus
never broke any of his own Commandments especially the Sabbath which he created. This is what Jesus taught about the Sabbath in the NEW TESTAMENT.
.................
There is not one scripture in all of God's Word that says that God's 4th Commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to KEEP another day as a Holy day.
Sorry friend God's WORD disagrees with you.
