God does not need to rest...Yeshua should have clarified that for you. It was made FOR Adam (man).
Amen. This idea that God made the Sabbath holy for Himself- God is holy, He does not need to make anything holy for Himself, He made the Sabbath day holy at Creation Gen 2:1-3 Exo20:11- for mankind Mark2:27 So mankind can spend holy time with God. Isa58:13

You remember that Adam & Eve were commanded to only eat plants and vegetables and Noah was told that he could eat anything that moved and the Israelites were given a more specific dietary law? So they weren’t all keeping the Torah. The Torah was the books written by Moses at Mt Sinai. Nehemiah specifically said that the Israelites didn’t know about the sabbath before Moses. So yeah many people kept the commandments of God before Mt Sinai but they weren’t the same commandments and they didn’t know about the sabbath.
Can you prove the Sabbath commandment in Exo16 is not the same Sabbath commandment in Exo20:8-11. God Himself is relating the Sabbath as the seventh day from Creation Exo20:10-11

Exo16:25 Then Moses said, “Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to the Lord; today you will not find it in the field. 26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath

God, the Creator of everything related the seventh day as interchangeable to the Sabbath and said it was one of His commandments Exo20:6 Exo20:8-11 Deut4:13 Exo31:18- God's not Moses

Exo 20:11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

There was a lot of seventh day Sabbaths, before Mt Sinai. God did not make the Sabbath day holy at Creation for Himself, He is holy, He made it holy for mankind Mark2:27 so God could spend holy and sanctified time with man. Isa58:13

This really is an argument with a much Higher Authority. When God defines something Himself, something He claims as "MINE" My holy day, the holy day of the LORD Isa 58:13 He does not say this about any other day, He did not bless or sanctify any other day. Man is the one who thinks they need to correct God. Just as God foretold Dan7:25 its really down to which voice will one chooses to listen to. Just like Adam and Eve had to decide and everyone else in Scripture, so do we. What man is doing, their popular traditions that leads many away from one of the commandments of God Mark7:7-13 Mat15:3-14, or hear His voice Heb3:7-19 and obey God over man.

I don’t know why you always quote Exodus 16 as if it implies that the commandment existed before the Israelites when God specifically told them not to collect manna on the 7th day earlier IN THAT SAME CHAPTER. It wasn’t the same commandment that was given in Exodus 20 or any of the other references to the Sabbath in the old testament. They were not commanded to do no work in chapter 16 they were only told not to collect manna on the 7th day. In every other reference to the sabbath in the old testament it always specifically states that they are to do NO WORK. In Exodus 16 God specifically said that this was going to be a test for them. Is God testing them to WHETHER OR NOT THEY WILL WALK IN MY INSTRUCTION.

“Then the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, that I may test them, whether or not they will walk in My instruction. On the sixth day, when they prepare what they bring in, it will be twice as much as they gather daily.””
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭16‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭NASB

Why is God all the sudden testing to see whether they will walk in His instruction if the instructions have already been given at creation?

‭‭Exodus‬ ‭16‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭NASB
From NASB if you keep reading...

Exo16:28 Then the Lord said to Moses, “How long do you refuse to keep My commandments and My [s]instructions?

The instruction was to gather manna 6 days and a double portion for the Sabbath, the seventh day is the Sabbath is God's commandment thus saith the Lord Exo20:10

Exo16:26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will be none.”
Why is God all the sudden testing to see whether they will walk in His instruction if the instructions have already been given at creation?
Collecting manna is not in the Sabbath commandment, the Sabbath commandment is to keep the seventh day Sabbath holy, resting from works and labors. Exo20:8-11

The instruction was to gather manna in 6 days, and have a double portion on Friday the preparation day, so they can keep the Sabbath day holy.

Exo 16 does not imply the Sabbath commandment existed God said it did plainly.

Exo 16:22 And so it was, on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one. And all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses. 23 Then he said to them, “This is what the Lord has said: ‘Tomorrow is a Sabbath rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord. Bake what you will bake today, and boil what you will boil; and lay up for yourselves all that remains, to be kept until morning.’ ” 24 So they laid it up till morning, as Moses commanded; and it did not stink, nor were there any worms in it. 25 Then Moses said, “Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to the Lord; today you will not find it in the field. 26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will be none.” 27 Now it happened that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, but they found none. 28 And the Lord said to Moses, “How long do you refuse to keep My commandments and My laws?

When did God command seventh day Sabbath rest in the Bible other than the 4th commandment- verse please? Its the same commandment and God said when it started at Creation Exo20:11. This passage clearly shows the Sabbath commandment started before God codified it at Mt Sinai. We would already know this if we simply believed God's own Testimony Exo31:18 Exo20:11. The Bible works in principles, it doesn't have to be repeated in every chapter, and if not, what God said just somehow disappeared. How much of the Bible could we make disappear with this argument. People only applies this to the 4th commandment when God just wants to spend holy time with His creation. What message is this sending to our Creator. If man would spend half the time time they do arguing against keeping the Sabbath commandment of God, as they would just keeping it the way God said Exo20:8-11 Isa58:13 Lev23:3 they would probably have a lot more rest in their souls. Disobediences to God's commandments one will never experience true peace Isa48:18 Psa119:165 Rev14:11-12 what God is calling us Heb3:7-19 to true rest in Him from our sins Psa38:3 Mat11:28 sin is breaking the law of God 1John3:4 James2:11

What He needs and what He did are two different things. Yes, Adam was a man, and so was Moses. Where did you get the Idea that you could replace the word man with the word Adam? According to Hebrew scholars, Adam means ground. He was made from the dust of the ground.

Because that is what it is...Ben Adam means son of man. Adama is ground. Adam (man) was formed from Adama (really red clay). So who else was God speaking to...Adam.

Yeah that commandment was given on the 15 day of the second month after they left Egypt, they were commanded to collect manna for 6 days and not to collect it on the 7th day but the commandment wasn’t given at creation it was given on the 15th day of the second month after they left Egypt.

“Then they set out from Elim, and all the congregation of the sons of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departure from the land of Egypt. The whole congregation of the sons of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. The sons of Israel said to them, “Would that we had died by the Lord’s hand in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of meat, when we ate bread to the full; for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.” Then the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, that I may test them, whether or not they will walk in My instruction. On the sixth day, when they prepare what they bring in, it will be twice as much as they gather daily.””

There’s nothing here indicating that the sabbath COMMANDMENT existed before this day. Just because Exodus 20:11 mentions God resting DOESNT MEAN HE COMMANDED ANYONE TO DO THE SAME BEFORE THIS COMMANDMENT WAS GIVEN AT SINAI.

WHY IS HE TESTING THEM TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT THEY WILL KEEP IT IF THEY WERE ALREADY SUPPOSED TO BE KEEPING IT BEFORE EXODUS 16? THEY WOULD'VE ALREADY BEEN BEING TESTED BEFORE EXODUS 16 ACCORDING TO YOUR CLAIM THAT THE COMMANDMENT WAS GIVEN AT CREATION.

God tests His people, just like He tests us. It would not make sense to test someone on something He did not give them. No law, no sin Rom4:15

It states plainly the Sabbath started before My Sinai and is God's commandments. From God's own Testimony Exo20:11 Mar2:27

Exo16:26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will be none.”
Exo20:10 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates.

Its the same thing. God said it was His commandment they were breaking, the Sabbath.

Exo 16:22 And so it was, on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one. And all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses. 23 Then he said to them, “This is what the Lord has said: ‘Tomorrow is a Sabbath rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord.

The Sabbath commandment is to keep the seventh day holy. Anytime we see the Sabbath or the seventh day, this is what it means defined not by man but by God. Is there anyone greater than He to re-define His own commandments? Not those who place their faith in Him.

Exo 20:8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.


Yeah that commandment was given on the 15 day of the second month after they left Egypt, they were commanded to collect manna for 6 days and not to collect it on the 7th day but the commandment wasn’t given at creation it was given on the 15th day of the second month after they left Egypt.

‭‭Exodus‬ ‭16‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
keep reading.....not everything God says is a "commandment" but God's commandments are His commandments Exo20:6 that only HE can define, because He is God and its sad so many people try to correct Him, when we are called to be His servant Isa56:6

Do you know what Torah means in Hebrew? ;) Adam and Abraham and Noakh were not Israelites. Yet they still had Torah...
And yet as I pointed out those commandments were not the same for each of them. Nehemiah 9:13-14 says that God made the sabbath known to them thru Moses at Mt Sinai. And your response is pretty much summed up by saying nuh uh. Are you going to address what is plainly stated in Nehemiah or are you just going to contradict them with no explanation whatsoever?

The Greek word for Adam is Adam but Jesus didn’t use the word Adam He used the word anthropos in Mark 2:27 which just means man. So yeah I completely agree.

Again I can keep pointing to Numbers 28 all day long where God “commanded” the people of Israel to do things that were NOT in the Decalogue. I’ve pointed this out to you numerous times and you ignore it every time. Instead you try to redefine what the word commandment actually means. If you want to make up your own words and define them however you like that’s fine but when it comes to words that are already established you can’t just go around redefining them however you want.

I have addressed it every time by Scripture. Just because people did things on the Sabbath like collecting manna, or animal sacrifices when instructed at that time by God, does not change what the Sabbath commandment of God is that God wrote Himself Exo20:8-11

God could come down from heaven and write out His own commandments and people still wouldn’t beleive Exo31:18 Exo20:6 Deut4:13 , so there is nothing more I can say. Just it will all get sorted out in God’s time.

Ecc 3:14 I know that whatever God does,
It shall be forever.
Nothing can be added to it,
And nothing taken from it.
God does it, that men should fear before Him.

And how long would it take being forced to work as slaves in Egypt to forget Shabbat??? Shabbat was NOT created at Sinai. Remember, not EVERYTHING is in the Scriptures...

The Greek word for Adam is Adam but Jesus didn’t use the word Adam He used the word anthropos in Mark 2:27 which just means man. So yeah I completely agree.
Adam is a HEBREW name and term. Anthropos is a GREEK word for man. So in the original Hebrew He used Adam.

I am not sure why people only single out this one commandment. Does it show Abraham not stealing from his neighbor. And because it doesn’t explicitly say so, can we just assume he did. It’s really nonsensical arguments. Especially when God already spoke on the matter as if someone else in the Bible is greater than God.

God tests His people, just like He tests us. It would not make sense to test someone on something He did not give them. No law, no sin Rom4:15
Yeah I agree He can’t test them without giving them a commandment to follow.
It states plainly the Sabbath started before My Sinai and is God's commandments. From God's own Testimony Exo20:11 Mar2:27

Exo16:26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will be none.”
Exo20:10 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates.
Right here above He just gave them the commandment to follow.
It’s the same thing. God said it was His commandment they were breaking, the Sabbath.

Exo 16:22 And so it was, on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one. And all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses. 23 Then he said to them, “This is what the Lord has said: ‘Tomorrow is a Sabbath rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord. Bake what you will bake today, and boil what you will boil; and lay up for yourselves all that remains, to be kept until morning.’ ” 24 So they laid it up till morning, as Moses commanded; and it did not stink, nor were there any worms in it. 25 Then Moses said, “Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to the Lord; today you will not find it in the field. 26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will be none.” 27 Now it happened that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, but they found none. 28 And the Lord said to Moses, “How long do you refuse to keep My commandments and My laws?
And right here above they’re breaking that commandment He just gave them 6 days ago. They failed the test that He initiated 6 days ago.

So just a coincidence that God commanded them to work six days (gather the manna) and not gather the manna or work on the seventh day, the Sabbath. Exo16:26 And God does things randomly with no design and it just happened to be exactly what He said in the 4th commandment. Exo20:8-9 and just a coincidence that God said in doing this was breaking His commandment, but not the same commandment where He commanded to work 6 days and keep the seventh day Sabbath holy. And the seventh day Sabbath that is holy to God Exo16:22 is a different seventh day Sabbath that God made holy at Creation Gen2:1-3 and in the Sabbath commandment Exo20:10 and a different seventh day Sabbath that started at Creation, despite God saying otherwise Exo20:11 Mark2:27


We really have a different view of God and of Scripture and I don’t think we can reason together but wish you well.

Abraham walked with God and was His friend. You don't think with that type of relationship they did not discuss Torah? They absolutely did!
