Can the Sabbath be separated from the other nine commandments?

Show us some quoted proof that John Wesley supported the 7th day Sabbath to include proof he kept it.
There are no holes in the law.
Not so. I refer you to Rom 2:14.
Your reference makes no such claim. You need to read more of the chapter for context. It does not refer to rebellious people.
When it comes to salvation, yes. Your church teaches this.
Exodus 31 says no such thing. It is specifically addressed to Israel alone.

It appeared to be a straightforward question. Have you addressed it to this point? Did I not address it in my first response? Did I give an uncertain response by saying that 4 applies to worship God and 6 applies to man....??Is this a trick question for you?To me, it seems like an honest question, but, well, you know.
The Word to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy is the fourth Word. The first four point to G-d and worship of Him. Starting with the fifth, the commands tell us how to treat others. So I suppose one may say that it separates, because it is the final of the Words to point to G-d. Is that what you intend, or have I missed your point?

I do not see what your post has to do with the topic.
Your husband must not be the leader of your household.

Hebrews 7.12 says the law was changed. Hebrews 7.19 tells us what what we now have is better than the law. The Sabbath is linked more with Israel.

You are on the right track. You do need some adjustment in your expression and perhaps your understanding of the Scripture. Personally I think much of your thinking comes from other sources besides the Scripture. I used to be confused by what is taught and the Scripture says.

This will be my last reply to your comments. The Spirit of God will give you understanding to your question through this verse.
Ezekiel 20:9-12 But I acted for My names sake, that it should not be profaned before the Gentiles among whom they were, in whose sight I had made Myself known to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt. Therefore I made them go out of the land of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness. And I gave them My statutes and showed them My judgments, which, if a man does, he shall live by them. Moreover I also gave them My Sabbaths, to be a sign between them and Me, that they might know that I am the Lord who sanctifies them.
Honoring the Sabbath is a lot more than abstaining from burning calories.
Honoring the Sabbath is one way of identifying yourself as God's people. In the last days, honoring the seventh day Sabbath will be like wearing an American flag on your shirt in Iraq.

The Scripture is a big book indeed. Perhaps one day you will read all of it and believe it.
You inference about cloth is not true.

When I examine the Scripture, I say no. It seems like some here do. At least they elevate it above the rest of the Ten Commandments. It also seems like there is a complete denial of other commandments and really the 4th seems to be at least amended. In my opinion the Sabbath is denied in practice but having some recognizable form.

There is no ethnic people in Christ Jesus. I do not mean to deny anyone's heritage. Of course there are all sorts of ethnic heritages who are Christians. On the other hand Christians do not become Jews nor subject to the law issued at Sinai.

Actually maco, the works of Holy Spirit allowed Peter and Paul and others to spiritually feed the sheep of God with the word of God. It's from these scriptures comes the understanding of all doctrines.
It's actually a shame that your threads, posts, and statements are not referenced to anything in the gospel we can claim as truth.
I will always challenge your words in this forum because the scriptures are the final word.
Big question: Does your reference scriptures tells us what honoring the Sabbath represents?
Sorry maco, I cant give you a passing grade on this answer. Here's why......
#1. Honoring the Sabbath represents a test given by God to prove the children of Israel are obeying God's commandment to rest on the seventh day. That fact is clear when God first gave the Sabbath. (Ex16)
Honoring the Sabbath represents a sign of the Mosaic Covenant similar to circumcision being the Sign of the Abraham Covenant. Both signs were fulfilled by Jesus Christ.
Failing to keep this sign resulted in death to those who worked on that day.

To whom is the 4th commandment addressed?Is this a trick question for you?
