That was Stephen the Jew talking to the Jewish Sanhedrin.Acts 7:38 This is he [Yeshua], that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him [Yeshua] in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who [Yeshua] received the lively oracles to give unto us:
But even you don't "keep" it.Let me put it this way: The Sabbath was made for mankind to enjoy and be blessed by the keeping of it.

DO YOU WANT ETERNAL LIFE
MATT.19 [16] And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?[17] And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS.[18] He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
And , finally the truth ( in part ) . The Sabbath violator admits that they earn their own salvation and have as their only desire to convince others to do the same . They say that eternal life requires one to observe the Sabbath commands - but only the ones that *they* are willing to observe and only *in the way* that *they* observe them . Well , congratulations to those that worship the Sabbath , they are truly most righteous and not needing Jesus in the least .
Again the Sabbath-violator lies . I didn't say that I didn't believe . They simply don't say what you intentionally , falsely claim that they say . Jesus said "my commandments" - not "the Mosaic Law" .
You continue to be like the legalists who wanted Jesus to believe that humans were made for the Sabbath . The Lord says that is a lie - that the Sabbath was made for humans .

Yes, I'm absolutely sure. The law was given about 400 years after Abraham was dead.
You are correct , holo . The Sabbath-violators haven't been able to figure that out , yet . It isn't that hard ... Abraham had Isaac , had Jacob , had Levi , had ... ( well after Abraham's death ) had Moses who was used to write the Law . But , those who worship the Sabbath are new to reading the Scriptures . They might be able to understand that sooner or later .

Mankind was made to enjoy the blessings of the Sabbath.
The Scriptures record the opposite - that Jesus stated that man was *not* made for the Sabbath .
And , you have no desire for others to enjoy the Sabbath but to have the Sabbath as a work needed for salvation . Damning those that don't observe the Sabbath ( and , you are one that knowingly violates every Sabbath ) is not an attitude that wants others to "enjoy" it as an opportunity .
Well, then there's no problem! uhmmmm that does make me think of another question though: do you also keep the Sabbath Laws? No cooking etc?If you are keeping the 7th day holy, by ceasing from secular work, and by giving yourself to sacred activities during the Sabbath then you are keeping it holy.
That's a good thing for us all to remember.However, what you think is not sin, could very well be sin, if it is not guided by what the Bible says. Remember that well known text: "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death."
Then why was it given to a very small nation only?
That's obvious nonsense. Can we raise the level somewhat, please?
But even you don't "keep" it.
So why force other's to believe they need to try (and most likely fail)
to do what you cant even do?
Many, but not all, things changed with the New Covenant.
We no longer live by the old law, but by a higher and actually
an even tougher law, the law of liberty.
Hi Ticker
How ya doin today? Good i hope.
GALATIANS 3 [23] But BEFORE FAITH CAME, WE WERE KEPT UNDER THE LAW, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. [24] WHEREFORE THE LAW WAS OUR SCHOOLMASTER TO BRING US UNTO CHRIST, THAT WE MIGHT BE JUSTIFIED BY FAITH. [25] But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. [26] For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. [27] For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. [28] There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. [29] And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Ticker, this scripture says what it says. Before faith came to each and everyone of us, we are under the law (10 commandments). Then the scripture goes on to say the same thing again (in case you missed it the 1st time). We are under the law (our schoolmaster) UNTIL we are justified by faith. Ticker, we are not born with faith, are we? So, according to this scripture you are kept under the law of the 10 commandments (the schoolmaster) until you are justified by faith in Christ. Thats what this scripture says. No shortcuts. The "many" never went to school. They never attempted to keep the 10 commandments, incuding sabbath. After we have been brought to faith in Christ, do we then make void the law or are we to still be keeping Gods law?
ROMANS 3 [30] Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. [31] DO WE THEN MAKE VOID THE LAW THROUGH FAITH? GOD FORBID: yea, we establish the law.
Because we have attained faith through the Word are we now to do away with Gods 10 commandments? GOD FORBID!
REV. 14 [12] Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS of God, and THE FAITH OF JESUS.
FAITH AND THE COMMANDMENTS, Ticker. I bet youve been told ya cant have both. Its one or the other. Sometimes its hard not to believe what youve been taught all these years, but what the many have been taught is contrary to scripture.
EPHES. 2 [7] That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. [8] For BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
No doubt that only the grace of God will save you. Its a gift we do not deserve. We are ALL as filthy rags. We ALL have come up short. The big question is to whom this gift will be given. Those who obey God and keep His commandments or those who practice iniquity.
JAMES 2 [17] Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. [18] Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. [19] Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: THE DEVILS ALSO BELIEVE, and tremble.
The devil himself BELIEVES in Jesus. I dont believe he will be saved. Agreed?
Jesus, yes. Refreshing to have someone admit it. But that comment is an anachronism, if it's relevant.It was Yeshua who gave the ten commandments.

All 10 the commandments were meant to be kept as a blessing to mankind.
You have no evidence for that . I was not mentioned in the giving of the Law .
