Again there is no indication that the Sabbath is not included in these verses as being done away with along with the rest of the Mosaic law,
Now if I am in error and there actually is a New Testament verse where Paul or any other New Testament writer states that we must keep The Sabbath today because it is still binding on the believer then please post it so we all can see it.

Eph 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
Eph 2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
As the Sabbath was never an issue with the early Christian Church it did not have to say you must still keep it.
At no time was the Sabbath ever done away with.
We need to have a verse that says the Sabbath has been changed.
It is much more important to have a verse that says the Sabbath has been changed.
We all know that there is no such verse.
Hebrews 9:RonBa said:
The law that contained the ordnances were on the outside of the ark. God's ten commandments were on the inside.
That should tell us something. The Sabbath and the rest of the ten commandments are not against us.
Bizzlebin Imperatoris said:Hebrews 9:
3Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place, 4which had the golden altar of incense and the gold-covered ark of the covenant. This ark contained the gold jar of manna, Aaron's staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant.
How then do we follow the jar of mana and Aaron's staff as we do the tablets?

Try reading Rev. 14:12 and Rev. 12:17, the Rev. 19:10.Bizzlebin Imperatoris said:Could I have the scripture please so I can read it?
So you are saying that we must observe all of God's commands?RonBa said:Try reading Rev. 14:12 and Rev. 12:17, the Rev. 19:10.
Look back at the texts I have given. It is easy to see how they went about teaching the Jews and the Gentiles.deu58 said:Hello Ronba
So considering the multitude of instructions that were given to the church by the Apostolic writers for instruction and correction you are saying that they never had to explain proper Sabbath keeping to Pagan Gentiles coming into the church ? This issue which you have claimed is so vitally important does not even have one verse saying that Gentiles should keep the Sabbath today? Not one time?
Or is this just an evasive answer to avoid having to admit that no such verse or teaching exists in the New Testament?

To tell you the truth here is what is needed.We have shown you many New Testament verses where it is taught that the observance of any day including the Jewish Sabbath was a non issue in the early church,
Just because they met daily does not mean that the Sabbath has been changed.Bizzlebin Imperatoris said:Once again, what you are saying contradicts scripture. Acts 2:46
"Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts."
They met everyday, not just the Sabbath
The Sabbath is still the last day of the week, just as Monday is still the second day of the week. Yet neither of them are required days of worship (No specific day is)RonBa said:Just because they met daily does not mean that the Sabbath has been changed.
You and anyone can have a religious meeting any day of the week.
To make it holy, God must say so as He did at the start.
That has never been done to Sunday or any day apart from the 7th day.
VII. As it is the law of nature, that in general a proportion of time, by God's appointment, be set apart for the worship of God, so by His Word, in a positive moral, and perpetual commandment, binding all men, in all ages, He hath particularly appointed one day in seven for a sabbath to be kept holy unto Him,[28] which from the beginning of the world to the resurrection of Christ was the last day of the week, and from the resurrection of Christ was changed into the first day of the week, which is called the Lord's Day:[29] and is to be continued to the end of the world as a Christian Sabbath, the observation of the last day of the week being abolished.
28. Exod. 20:8
29. I Cor. 16:1-2; Acts 20:7; Rev. 1:10
VIII. The sabbath is then kept holy unto the Lord, when men, after a due preparing of their hearts, and ordering their common affairs aforehand, do not only observe an holy rest all day, from their own works, words and thoughts, about their worldly employment and recreations,[30] but are also taken up the whole time in the public and private exercises of His worship, and in the duties of necessity and mercy.[31]
30. Isa. 58:13; Neh. 13:15-22
31. Matt. 12:1-13
