Besides Messianics and SDA's, who else respects the Sabbath these days?

[Richard.20.12]

I don't see any problem with Messianics and love their Sabbath respect and Old Testament grounding/knowledge but I was wondering what other groups you've heard of that also have the same values? Are there any besides the SDA's? (Not a fan of Ellen at all.) Besides the obvious cults of course. I find it worrying that so many Christians ignore the word Sabbath when its mentioned so often all through the Bible, both Old and New Testaments. Also its clear that most Christians spend little time in the Old Testament. Maybe because it doesn't seem as relevant to today's issues or perhaps for other reasons. But when I look at the size of the OT vs the NT, it reminds me that I should probably spend the similar percentage of time as well in each. Maybe that was a subtle reminder from God for all of us.

I do. Denomination of one. Lol

 

[Freth]

There are quite a few denominations that keep seventh-day Sabbath.

Wikipedia: The sabbath is one of the defining characteristics of seventh-day denominations, including Seventh Day Baptists, Sabbatarian Adventists (Seventh-day Adventists, Davidian Seventh-day Adventists, Church of God (Seventh Day) conferences, etc), Sabbatarian Pentecostalists (True Jesus Church, Soldiers of the Cross Church, and others), Armstrongism (Church of God International (United States), House of Yahweh, Intercontinental Church of God, United Church of God, etc), modern day Hebrew Roots movement, the Seventh-Day Evangelist Church, among many others.

And that's not counting non-denominational Christians, as @Eftsoon pointed out.

I would like to see that count added to that thread; but I don't want to take credit for your work.

All I did was copy/paste the list into Notepad and look at the line number of the very last in the list. You're welcome to add it to your thread.

 

[Freth]

Woops, that's 553. I double checked. Somehow my mind saw 563.

Yeah that thread - a great list by Hark on the OP topic!

who else respects the Sabbath these days?

“Respect”?
My employer is closed on Saturday, so all 25 employees “respect” the Sabbath by not “working” on that day. We are not bound by the Rabbinical Traditions or the Ceremonial Law of Moses, so oxen in wells and how far we are permitted to walk is a non-issue. However, we refrain from our weekly “Labor” every Sabbath and gather together to remember our Lord’s death and resurrection on the Lord’s Day (Sunday).

(sorry if this was an inappropriate response for this Forum … no offense was intended, just an observation about “Honoring the Sabbath”.)

Sorry, I'm the wrong denomination to post here.

We do. No affiliation.

Those who follow the Gospel of the Kingdom should... but it seems like there aren't many of us.
I believe all 10 Commandments and the Sabbath are eternal covenants, and so is the Covenant of Promise. What would you suggest regarding SDA reading material?

Anything that isn't written by Ellen White?
Look, she means well but stated things that she had no idea even occurred and that's not right. We're not supposed to "make stuff up". And she does it a LOT. What I cannot fathom is why such a sensible group like the SDA associates with her writings. They even regard her as a prophet. Its as ludicrous as giving the term to Nostradamus. Both wrote so many general prophecies of course some came true. Anyone can do that if they write enough with everything very unspecific, vague generalities.
Of course its our "groups" that get us into trouble it seems. All we all need to do is get back to The Word. I feel believers would be better off the less we aligned ourselves to a group. I don't see any denominations in the Old or New Testament. Just people that were godly and ungodly. Believers and unbelievers.

Yes, we're all quite aware of the SDA (Seventh Day Adventist) movement. I find Doug Bachelor a very clear thinker and find he analyzes Biblical passages very well. But as I said in the beginning this discussion is for groups outside Jewish Messianics and SDA's who most of us are very familiar with. The long list posted gives hope that others are realizing the blessing of following all 10 Commandments. Because it should be viewed not as a restriction of options, rather simply a better way of living with all the blessings of God that go along with aligning ourselves to His guidance. Who doesn't enjoy rest after all?

Thank you. First of all, I'm looking for SDA history. If they kept the Sabbath, did they still quote the second gospel? Or did they more or less agree with Galatians 2:7? I follow the Gospel of the Kingdom, and use that as my yardstick against which all things are measured. I'm almost a red-letter bible sort of person, except not much of the Revelation is in red. And neither are the Covenants of the Old Testament. I am a literalist.

All that being said, am I barking up the wrong tree? I don't want to muddy the waters in this forum section.
