How should we keep the Sabbath holy?

No Jesus called the Jews out of an interpretation of scripture that had made it a burden. Legalism makes the law a burden...

However, the law itself is our guide for morality...one cannot live a good life without knowing what transgression is...that standard remains forever.

It is the application of the law which was at fault, not the law itself. God does not make mistakes...neither does his eternal law!
I do not think your statement understands this point.



The law said to kill, and to hate our enemies, it is wrong.

So no chapter and verses of Jesus resting sabbath, what a shame, then he never did, but we see Him never resting one moment on sabbath, but preaching and miracles and healings in the synagogues.

Also the disciples left their lives to do the same as Christ.

If we do not do the same, we are resting for nothing, and not labouring as Christ and the Apostles of the Lord to enter into His glorious rest.

Your response here...

Well I guess we will have to agree to disagree as I believe your question has been answered in the post you are quoting from above. Ezekiel 46:1-3 and Isaiah 66:22-23 is God's spoken Word setting the Sabbath as a day of worship. Thanks for the discussion though.

Take Care.
This shows how completely far off you are since you cannot get the answer from Isaiah or Ezekiel.

As posted earlier, arguments in silence are not an excuse to break Gods commandments when God's direct spoken word is clear that God's Sabbath is a day of worship (Ezekiel 46:1-3 and Isaiah 66:22-23).

Those are way after the exodus. Try again.
As posted earlier. Your trying to make an argument in silence. Just because the scriptures are silent in regards to worship and the sabbath in one part of the bible does not mean God's Word is silent in other scriptures of the bible where God says in His own words that the Sabbath is a day of worship (Ezekiel 46:1-3 and Isaiah 66:22-2). Arguments in silence are not an excuse to break God' law.

Now the chapter of verse where they (those same Israelites in view here) are commanded to worship on that day.
Ezekiel 46:1-3 and Isaiah 66:22-23 are Gods' direct spoken Words from the mouth of God telling us that Gods' Sabbath is a day of worship. If Gods Word says something should we just not simply believe and follow what God's Word says? I am sorry but I do not understand your argument or reasoning here if I am being honest with you. An argument in silence in one section of the bible is not an argument to break God's law especially when God's Word is revealed to us in other parts of the bible that God's Sabbath is a day of worship.

Take Care.

God didn't have to declare the Sabbath as a day of worship, because it was set forth from creation, as a day sanctified by God, for man to keep holy. What exactly would a person be doing on the Sabbath day to keep it holy? Spend the day with the Lord, worshiping Him.

Moses in Leviticus 19:

Leviticus 19:30 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and [a]reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.

a. Strong's H3372 reverence (yārē'): to fear, be afraid, be awed
The first angel's message in Revelation 14:

Revelation 14:6-7 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
The very phrase "to keep holy" indicates a holy action on our part—worship.

for the Law brings about wrath, but where there is no law, there also is no violation.

You don’t know what an argument from silence means, apparently. So I’ll ask this way. How did Moses know to worship on the sabbath, and how did he communicate it to the Israelites?

Your argument in silence does not mean that the Sabbath is not a day of worship when God himself says that the Sabbath is a day of worship (Ezekiel 46:1-3 and Isaiah 66:22-2).

Let’s put back context:

Romans 4:13 For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise made of no effect, 15 because the law brings about wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression.

Righteousness by faith does not delete God’s laws.

Romans 3: 31 Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law.

Genesis 26:5 because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”


Interesting that was before Mt Sinai

Context isn’t important, apparently in this thread anyway, so you point is moot.
