Do you not believe Jesus when He told us He kept all of His Fathers commandments and told us to as well? John 15:10 * * *
John 15:10
10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commands and remain in his love.​
I keep Jesus' commands. Where did Jesus. Himself, command gentiles to keep the seventh day Sabbath?

I keep Jesus' commands. Where did Jesus. Himself, command gentiles to keep the seventh day Sabbath.

The nasty conundrum, of course, is the logic of asserting that Jesus, being God, gave His commandments for all people at all times, beginning with Adam and Eve. If that were true, then the SDA folks would be obliged to observe every commandment in the Bible, but they pick and choose the ones that they can keep, such as attending church on Saturday (which was never commanded for anyone in the Bible).

Exactly. When I was 14 about 6 decades ago I was fostered in a SDA family for a few months when both of my parents were hospitalized. The only thing I saw was very strict Sabbath observance. Never heard about any other OT law.

Why do you think Jesus is at odds with His Fathers commandments? Jesus came to do the will of God and to magnify His Fathers laws. Isaiah 42:21, Matthew 5:17-30, Matthew 19:17-19. Magnify does not mean to lessen, it means make greater.

God wrote His laws in our hearts in the New Covenant which of course include the Sabbath commandment. We see the Sabbath still a commandment in the New Testament Luke 23:56 this was after Jesus died. If you were really honest does it make sense that we would worship our Lord and Savior on a different day than the holy day of our Lord and Savior? It does not, which is why Jesus who we are told is our EXAMPLE went to the Temple on the Sabbath days reading the Word of God Luke 4:16 as did all the disciples. Acts 13:42, Acts 13:44 you really should read the New Testament again because Jesus teaches all about the Sabbath and it’s mentioned more than once that the Sabbath is part of the law. Jesus was accused of breaking the Sabbath law, which would be weird if there was not a Sabbath commandment. Jesus told us the Sabbath was made for man, which takes us back to the Garden of Eden when God made man on the six day and the very next day was God’s Sabbath. God worked six days and rested on the seventh day not because God needed rest, it was an example for man.

I’m off for now.

God bless

In answer to this question, "Your position is that unless gentiles keep the seventh day sabbath, they cannot be saved, is it not?" Your answer is "No", that is not your position. Albeit what follows does show some hesitancy towards the idea that Gentiles can worship on another day of the week to serve Jesus.

The claim is made: "According to the scriptures, the new covenant was only ever made to Israel who is defined in the new covenant scriptures as all those who through faith now believe and follow Gods' Word."

First off is the understanding of Romans 9:6-8. Israel is not Isaac, nor is Abraham. Their seed is being contrasted with Isaac. Paul is making an appeal that the NC is based on Isaac and not Israel at Sinai. This does not explain the first half of the claim, "the new covenant was only ever made to Israel". What it does do however, is put Israel's theological role as secondary to that of Isaac. Theologically speaking Isaac is pointing to the child of promise, who is Jesus and was even before Abraham. John 8:58

In regards to Jeremiah 31:31-34 , he's concerned with the Jews not Gentiles. Given their circumstances this doesn't mean the NC is only ever made to Israel as Jesus said, "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself." John 12:32

None of this is showing how Gentiles are commanded and must worship on the holy 7th day Sabbath.

No. Please read the post you are quoting from in post # 253 linked. That is not my position at all. Your making arguments no one is arguing about. Therefore your argument is only with yourself here. Isaac is the seed of Abraham who is the father of Israel. I think you missed the point of what the scriptures are saying here. In Romans 9:6-8 Paul is saying that just because you are born of the seed of Abraham does not make one Israel, they are not all Israel that are of Israel. Just because your physically born of the seed of Abraham does not make one truly Israel just as one is born a Jew does not make him a Jew, just as one that has been circumcised does not make one circumcised. A Jew is one inwardly and circumcision is not of the flesh but of the heart through the Spirit. The scriptures do not really need much words added to them perhaps you can prayerfully read them...

Romans 9:6-8 [6], Not as though the word of God has taken none effect. FOR THEY ARE NOT ALL ISRAEL, WHICH ARE OF ISRAEL: [7], NEITHER, BECAUSE THEY ARE THE SEED OF ABRAHAM, ARE THEY ALL CHILDREN: but, In Isaac shall your seed be called. [8], THAT IS, THEY WHICH ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE FLESH, THESE ARE NOT THE CHILDREN OF GOD: BUT THE CHILDREN OF THE PROMISE ARE COUNTED FOR THE SEED.

Galatians 3:28-29 [28], There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus. [29], AND IF YOU BE CHRIST'S, THEN ARE YOU ABRAHAM'S SEED, AND HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE.

Romans 2:28-29 [28], For HE IS NOT A JEW, WHICH IS ONE OUTWARDLY; NEITHER IS THAT CIRCUMCISION, WHICH IS OUTWARD IN THE FLESH: [29], But HE IS A JEW, WHICH IS ONE INWARDLY; AND CIRCUMCISION IS THAT OF THE HEART, IN THE SPIRIT, AND NOT IN THE LETTER; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

....................

The name ISRAEL is only a name given by God to those who believe and follow Gods' Word. Jesus would also discuss this with the Jews in His day in the following scriptures which also might be helpful to you here. The Jew made their argument that because they are born of the physical seed of Abraham they therefore are the children of God. Jesus disputes this claim in the following scriptures...

John 8:31-47
[31], Jesus therefore said to those jews that had believed him, if ye continue in my word, then are ye truly my disciples;
[32], and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
[33], They answered unto him, WE ARE ABRAHAM'S SEED, AND HAVE NEVER YET BEEN IN BONDAGE TO ANY MAN: HOW SAYEST THOU, YE SHALL BE MADE FREE?
[34], Jesus answered them, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, EVERY ONE THAT COMMITTETH SIN IS THE BONDSERVANT OF SIN.
[35], And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for ever.
[36], IF THEREFORE THE SON SHALL MAKE YOU FREE, YE SHALL BE FREE INDEED.
[37], I KNOW THAT YE ARE ABRAHAM'S SEED: YET YE SEEK TO KILL ME, BECAUSE MY WORD HATH NOT FREE COURSE IN YOU.
[38], I speak the things which I have seen with my Father: AND YE ALSO DO THE THINGS WHICH YE HEARD FROM YOUR FATHER.
[39], THEY ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HIM, OUR FATHER IS ABRAHAM. JESUS SAITH UNTO THEM, IF YE WERE ABRAHAM'S CHILDREN, YE WOULD DO THE WORKS OF ABRAHAM.
[40], BUT NOW YE SEEK TO KILL ME, A MAN THAT HATH TOLD YOU THE TRUTH, WHICH I HEARD FROM GOD: THIS DID NOT ABRAHAM.
[41], YE DO THE WORKS OF YOUR FATHER. THEY SAID UNTO HIM, WE WERE NOT BORN OF FORNICATION; WE HAVE ONE FATHER, EVEN GOD.
[42], JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, IF GOD WERE YOUR FATHER, YE WOULD LOVE ME: FOR I CAME FORTH AND AM COME FROM GOD; FOR NEITHER HAVE I COME OF MYSELF, BUT HE SENT ME.
[43], Why do ye not understand my speech? Even because ye cannot hear my word.
[44], YE ARE OF YOUR FATHER THE DEVIL, AND THE LUSTS OF YOUR FATHER IT IS YOUR WILL TO DO. HE WAS A MURDERER FROM THE BEGINNING, AND STANDETH NOT IN THE TRUTH, BECAUSE THERE IS NO TRUTH IN HIM. WHEN HE SPEAKETH A LIE, HE SPEAKETH OF HIS OWN: FOR HE IS A LIAR, AND THE FATHER THEREOF.
[45], But because I say the truth, ye believe me not.
[46], Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me?
[47], HE THAT IS OF GOD HEARETH THE WORDS OF GOD: FOR THIS CAUSE YE HEAR THEM NOT, BECAUSE YE ARE NOT OF GOD.

.................

Jesus is saying we are not Gods' children because we are born of the seed of Abraham we are the children of God because of what we believe and do that makes us the children of God or the children of the devil.

.................

Conclusion: God's true Israel in the new covenant is simply all those who are born not of the flesh but of the Spirit to believe and follow Gods' Word. Gods' Israel is only a name given by God to all those who believe and follow God's Word. All believers are now one in Christ and gentile believers have been grafted in with Jewish believers who are now Gods' true Israel according to the new covenant scriptures.

I don't make mistakes! You did.
Galatians 3:28-29 [28], There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus. [29], and if you be Christ's, then are you Abrahams seed, and heirs according to the promise.​
"Abraham's seed," NOT children of Israel.
You did make a mistake, unfortunately. The scripture shared with you and that you are quoting here only supports what is being share with you. You do know that the Galatians are gentile believers right and Paul is saying to them all are one in Christ and if you are in Christ then you are Abraham's seed as God's promise was to Abraham who is the father of Israel right? The three scriptures here show that under the new covenant scriptures that God's true ISRAEL in the new covenant is no longer those born of the flesh of the seed of Abraham but all those who through faith are born of the Spirit into Gods' new covenant promise *Hebrews 8:10-12; from Jeremiah 31:31-34; Ezekiel 36:24-27.

Galatians 3:28-29 [28], There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus. [29], AND IF YOU BE CHRIST'S, THEN ARE YOU ABRAHAM'S SEED, AND HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE.

Gods' true Israel in the new covenant is now simply all those who have been born of the Spirit into God's new covenant promise through faith.

God did not make a covenant with gentiles and Israel is only a name given by God to all those who believe and follow Gods' Word.

I suppose we ought to feel sorry for Simon because Jesus did not call him Israel, but Peter.

Why do you think Jesus is at odds with His Fathers commandments? Jesus came to do the will of God and to magnify His Fathers laws. Isaiah 42:21, Matthew 5:17-30, Matthew 19:17-19. Magnify does not mean to lessen, it means make greater.
God wrote His laws in our hearts in the New Covenant which of course include the Sabbath commandment. We see the Sabbath still a commandment in the New Testament Luke 23:56 this was after Jesus died. If you were really honest does it make sense that we would worship our Lord and Savior on a different day than the holy day of our Lord and Savior? It does not, which is why Jesus who we are told is our EXAMPLE went to the Temple on the Sabbath days reading the Word of God Luke 4:16 as did all the disciples. Acts 13:42, Acts 13:44 you really should read the New Testament again because Jesus teaches all about the Sabbath and it’s mentioned more than once that the Sabbath is part of the law. Jesus was accused of breaking the Sabbath law, which would be weird if there was not a Sabbath commandment. Jesus told us the Sabbath was made for man, which takes us back to the Garden of Eden when God made man on the six day and the very next day was God’s Sabbath. God worked six days and rested on the seventh day not because God needed rest, it was an example for man.
I’m off for now.

Then, if you are under the new covenant, what are you doing wallowing in one commandment only of the old covenant?

Let me ask you again do you know what Gods new covenant promise is? (here *Hebrews 8:10-12 from Jeremiah 31:31-36 and Ezekiel 36:24-27). What do you think these scriptures are talking about?

God did not make his new covenant promise with Gentiles *Hebrews 8:10-12; from Jeremiah 31:31-34 and Ezekiel 36:24-27. If you are not a part of God's Israel you have no part in God's new covenant promise. Gentiles are now grafted in *Romans 11:13-27 and we are all now one in Christ (Romans 9:6-8; Galatians 3:28-20; Romans 2:28-29). Everyone of God's 10 commandments are repeated in the new covenant as the standard of Christian living for new covenant believers (scripture linked) and everyone of God's 10 commandments according to the scriptures still fulfill the same role they always have which is to give us the knowledge of good (moral right doing) and evil (moral wrong doing); sin (moral wrong doing) and righteousness (moral right doing) *Romans 3:20; Romans 7:7; 1 John 3:4 and Psalms 119:172. THEREFORE according to the scriptures it remains for the people of God to keep the Sabbath *Hebrews 4:9. There is not one scripture in all of God's Word that says Gods' 4th commandment has now been abolished and we are now commanded to keep Sunday as a holy day of rest. This is a man-made teaching and tradition that has led many away from God and His Word to break the commandments of God. According to Jesus if we knowingly follow man-made teachings and traditions that lead us to break the commandments of God we are now worshiping God in Matthew 15:2-9. This begs the question I have been asking a lot. If we follow man-made teachings and traditions that are leading us away from God and His Word who are we following; God or man?

Your response.
So please tell us precisely which of the Old Testament commandments you have determined to obey?
If you do not know the answer to the question asked just say so. I am happy to answer it for you if you do not know the answer (although the scriptures provided to you already answer the question). I was only trying to see how you understand the scriptures I provided before answering. Do you know the answer to my question to you? What might be helpful is if you can tell me why you think God gave us the His 10 commandments in the first place. Do you know the answer from scripture? Of course you do not have to answer these question if you do not want to. Perhaps you can pray about it. I hope they give you something to think about and are a blessing to you.

Take Care

Why do you keep throwing random verses at me and ignore the Sabbath question I keep asking? Please show me one command in the NT requiring gentile Christians to keep the seventh day Sabbath?

I’m sorry you feel these verses are random, they really explain that if you are one in Christ there is no Jew or Gentile. You are going to miss so much in scripture if you don’t understand these easy to read scriptures. Your whole objection is that you are a gentile and not a Jew, these scriptures directly address this objection. It’s a good thing, God’s people are those who believe and follow the Word and not a nationality.
