Why are we having this discussion.
Exodus 31:13-14 ........
"Say to the Israelites, 'You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the LORD, who makes you holy. 14"'Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it is to be put to death; those who do any work on that day must be cut off from their people.
Simply because those laws were given to the ISRAELITES, the parents of the JEWS!
I guess we were having this discussion because of what you said in the post you made that I was quoting from in post # 410 linked that you were keeping the Sabbath better than Sabbath keepers by not keeping the Sabbath. You may want to consider though that under the new covenant scriptures Gods' true ISRAEL is no longer those who are born of the flesh of the seed of Abraham (see Romans 9:6-8; Galatians 3:27-28; Romans 3:27-28 but are now all those who through faith in God's new covenant promise *Hebrews 8:10-12 from Jeremiah 31:31-34 and Ezekiel 36:24-27 are now born of the Spirit *John 3:3-7; 1 John 3:6-9 by believing and following what God's Word says *John 3:16; John 10:26-27; Matthew 7:21-23. This means that as God's true Israel all of God's Word and promises are written for our admonition upon who the ends of the world have come *1 Corinthians 10:11. We should also consider that according to Jesus the Sabbath was made for all mankind not the Jew *Mark 2:27. You also may want to consider that according to the scriptures there was no Jew; no Israel, no Moses, no sin, and no plan of salvation was given because there was nothing to be saved from when God made the Sabbath for all mankind *Genesis 2:1-3. So according to your claims here that Gods' Sabbath was only given to God's Israel in the old covenant because everyone of God's 10 commandments are repeated in the new covenant as a requirement for Christian living (scripture support here) and God's Israel in the new covenant is not longer those born of the flesh of the seed of Abraham but all those who through faith in God's Word have been born of the Spirit *John 3:3-7; 1 John 3:6-9.
Hope this is helpful.
