We observe it through communion. Christ fulfilled all blood sacrifices, He is the Passover for all generations..

The way of faith was always in God's heart for the Jews.
Obedience to the Law was never the prime objective rather as Jesus said...
John 13
33 Little children, I am with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’ 34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
This is confirmed in Acts 15.
“The apostles and the brethren who are elders, to the brethren in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia who are from the Gentiles, greetings.
24 “Since we have heard that some of our number to whom we gave no instruction have disturbed you with their words, unsettling your souls, 25 it seemed good to us, having become of one mind, to select men to send to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 “Therefore we have sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will also report the same things by word of mouth. 28 “For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these essentials: 29 that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication; if you keep yourselves free from such things, you will do well. Farewell.”
Paul traces out Spiritual inheritance back to Abraham not Moses.
The Law was never a vehicle for Salvation - faith in God has always been the way of being in eternal relationship with God.
Christ is my rest everyday
Brothers, happy Sabbath! That point of view is a human tradition based on a mistranslation! Some translations, like the King James Version (KJV), affected many other translations after it. Many translations continue the error started by the KJV's misidentification of "Joshua" as "Jesus" in Hebrews, chapter 4, when Jesus was not before David to make the "good news" of entering the Sabbath the "gospel" of Jesus. The wrong translation of "gospel" for the phrase the "good news" of entering the Sabbath has influenced wrongly many other Bible translations after the KJV. The newer NKJV fixes the misidentification of Joshua as Jesus but not its effect on the rest of the passage, like the "gospel" (not possible before David), for the phrase, the "good news" of entering the Sabbath, first heard by those that died in the desert. Those, like Joshua, who were not allowed to enter the Sabbath by "oath" near the Promised Land with Manna, that Joshua later entered before the seventh day of the week from evening to evening, having been prevented from entering the Sabbath with Manna for 40 years from morning to morning near the Promised Land. In the Hebrews passage, "another day" refers to a different day than the one thought for the Sabbath since Joshua: not the seventh day of the week everywhere, but the seventh day of the week of creation remembered in the time zone of creation.We find our "sabbatismos" rest in Christ (Hebrews 4:9) and not in keeping the weekly Sabbath day under the Law.
According to scripture to receive the rest in Christ the door is through hallowing His Sabbath.
Hebrews 4:9 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God.
Rest here is sabbatismos which literally means keeping of the Sabbath. So this verse says there remains a keeping of the Sabbath for the people of God.
σαββατισμὸς (sabbatismos)
Noun - Nominative Masculine Singular
Strong's 4520: A keeping of the Sabbath, a Sabbath rest.
10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.
To enter into the Spiritual rest you must also cease from your work (Exodus 20:8-11) just as God did from His (Genesis 2:1-3)
The only day we were told to cease from our work is the seventh day Sabbath Exodus 20:10. All other days are working days according to God. Exodus 20:9. The only day God ceased from His work is the Sabbath. Six days were working days for God Genesis 1 but the seventh day God rested. Genesis 2:1-3 God blessed and sanctified the seventh day and made it holy which He did not do with any other day. Genesis 2:1-3
To receive the spiritual rest in Christ you enter through the Sabbath commandment, this is the door to enter into the spiritual rest in Christ. We work six days and the seventh day Christ wants to give us spiritual rest by having communion with him for a full 24 hours not speaking our words but speaking the words of Christ, not doing our ways but the ways of Christ. In return when we keep the Sabbath God blesses and sanctifies us. Isaiah 58:13-14, Ezekiel 20:12
We should fear that we do not enter His rest as the warning in Hebrews 4 those who were first preached to did not enter due to their disobedience. Hebrews 4:6
This is a wakeup call- "today if you hear His voice do not harden your heart".
What did they disobey? The Sabbath. Ezekiel 20:13 therefore they were not sanctified by God Ezekiel 20:12.
I pray this helps. I have some things to take care of today but I wish you all the blessings of seeking God's Word.
God bless
Do you know you will be held accountable for what you share?This is the nub of the issue.
Folks who find God's love in Jesus do not need the written Law to tell them how to behave.
Suggesting that those who find Jesus and have God's Spirit in their hearts must be sinners because they don't keep the letter of the Law is utter nonsense and quite insulting.
But then Satan is an arch legalist so this angle on matters is to be expected.

So God’s rest is there for people to enter, but those who first heard this good news failed to enter because they disobeyed God. So God set another time for entering his rest, and that time is today. God announced this through David much later in the words already quoted: “Today when you hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts.” Now if Joshua had succeeded in giving them this rest, God would not have spoken about another day of rest still to come. So there is a special rest still waiting for the people of God. For all who have entered into God’s rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after creating the world. So let us do our best to enter that rest. But if we disobey God, as the people of Israel did, we will fall. (Hebrews 4:6-11 NLT)
United in our hope for the soon return of Jesus, Jorge
Brother, the rest of the soul after Jesus, with His faster cycle of forgiveness as our High Priest in heaven instead of slow animal sacrifices for the forgiveness of sins, is not the corrected "day" of rest spoken of in Hebrews, chapter 4, since Joshua allowed under his watch a wrong human tradition about the Sabbath outside of the Promised Land. I have a new thread on the subject, titled: "The rest of the "soul" is not the other "day" of rest in Hebrews!"Many people believe that Jesus was the One speaking to Moses. I’m undecided on that, I do believe it is a possibility. I do believe that every encounter man has had face to face with God was Jesus and not God The Father.
According to scripture to receive the rest in Christ the door is through hallowing His Sabbath.
I think we both agree that there is no scripture passage stating that the apostles kept the Sabbath. Neither is there a scripture passage stating they broke it.There is no indication that the apostles broke the Sabbath and what is revealed from scripture they did things that were about the Lord on the Sabbath just like we are told in scripture Isaiah 58:13 so it seems unreasonable to assume anything else. The Sabbath in the NT is referred to as the same respect as in the Old Testament- On the Sabbath day…. Why because nothing changed it is still the commandment of God Luke 23:56
There are 8 references to the first day in the NT and nothing saying that the seventh day is no longer the Lord’s holy day and now we are to worship Him on the first day. I am happy to go through each scripture reference if you would like and we can compare it to what it says about the Sabbath.
Those instructions may change over time, yes? First humans are told to eat only plants, then they are told they can eat any animal, then at Sinai God says eat only certain animals.We were created to know God, God has given instructions for how to know Him, and people who want to argue against following those instructions are missing the point of their existence.

I disagree the Torah is not the same as the law of the Spirit.
“Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.”
Romans 8:1-11 NASB1995
“It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you. And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law. You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. For we through the Spirit, by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love. You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion did not come from Him who calls you. A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough. I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt no other view; but the one who is disturbing you will bear his judgment, whoever he is. But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished. I wish that those who are troubling you would even mutilate themselves. For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another. But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.”
Galatians 5:1-18 NASB1995
If you are led by the Spirit you are not under the law. So the law of the Spirit is different than the Torah.
Regarding how we celebrate the Passover today,
If something which had been said was going to be throughout all generations can then in the New Testament be changed to the Lord's Supper, without doing the other pieces unique to the Passover,
then cool!
That's basically the way I interpret all of the law of Moses.
So I'm just working my way up through the thread, I'm up to #262 now.
This came to mind: another possible reason why Paul went to the synagogue on the Sabbath is habit. He also hurries to try to get to Jerusalem in time for the Passover.
So not everything that Paul did is something we want to imitate.
Possibly Peter experienced the law as a burden. It would be one thing to keep the law as king of a powerful sovereign Nation.
Quite another to keep it in a Roman colony that apparently had a much higher degree of class disparity than in David's time. imo.
I believe you are assuming that God has commanded that people would keep the Sabbath in the New Covenant by attending church or synagogue. But that's the very thing in question, I believe.
I was just observing the previous times without a tent/temple were short and described. The time we are living in now is orders of magnitude longer and has no end in sight.
If you just want to use the law for wisdom and take delight in it in that sense, cool!
The way that you had dealt with the opening of Deuteronomy 23, arriving at the conclusion that the Lord's assembly was a special executive council for the nation, led me to believe that you were sometimes looking for ways around the law.
I know that Ruth married Boaz and is in the genealogy of Jesus. Is there something that actually says she was welcomed into the congregation of Israel?
Holy conduct would fall into the category of moral laws which are given in the New Testament.
No because Peter didn’t mention either of those laws.
Amen, the law was intended to show our need for a Savior by shutting us all up in disobedience. It was also intended to be a stumbling block for the Jews.
Please interact with what I said to show that the Torah with the Law of the Spirit to explain why you think my reasoning was wrong. God is not in disagreement with Himself about which laws we should follow, so the Law of Christ is the same as the Law of the Spirit and the Law of the Father, which was given to Moses.
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.”
Galatians 5:18 NASB1995
