It answers a question that I didn’t ask. If I had asked how they knew about the sabbath, then your response would be adequate. But here’s the actual question I asked: How did the Israelites in the exodus know to worship on the Sabbath?

Well that is not true. You asked How did the Israelites in the exodus know to worship on the Sabbath? I responded by showing that Gods' people knew about the Sabbath from creation and that Jesus says that the Sabbath was made for Adam and Eve so God's people have always known about the Sabbath. Then continued showing that there is not much said about the Sabbath in the early Exodus until Exodus 16 and onward just prior to God giving the 10 commandments to all of Israel. Now how is that not directly answering your question in your view?

Nobody knew the Father from creation, including sabbath worship/keeping, it is kept without having the Spirit of God, and therefore by people who know not God, and know not how to keep or know anything of God.

You are both, and all answered, how your discussion is actually not even about Christ, because all before Christ knew nothing, and only those now in Christ, which is in the Spirit, know Him.


Keep the sabbath holy, and all our days we serve in holiness before God now worshipping in the Holy Ghost.

Just as circumcision is debter to do the whole law, so sabbath keeping and food rituals is the same...


Galatians 5:3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

I didn’t ask if they knew about the sabbath.

Let me highlight the important word that keeps getting missed.

How did the Israelites in the exodus know to worship on the Sabbath? This question already assumes that they know about the sabbath. But how did they know to worship on the Sabbath??

2 Timothy 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.


Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.



How about seeing what is taught to Christians and to obey it, by not foolish talk about contentions and strivings about the law, and try to be keep the sabbath in faith, and the Lord is Lord of the sabbath, and we keep all the days of our life serving before Him in Holiness..



Malachi 3:18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

Luke 1: 74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.

But, is this why we cant avoid what is told by God to be vain contentions now..



2 Peter 2:18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.


Jude 1:16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

I thought we cleared that up some time ago by looking at the scriptures and defining what it means to worship God from the scriptures in post # 70 linked and post # 81 linked. We worship God by believing and following what Gods Word says and God tells us to worship him on the Sabbath in Ezekiel 46:1-3 and Isaiah 66:22-23. Or are you trying to make an argument in silence to what is not recorded in the scriptures? What we do know is that Gods' people kept the Sabbath and God tells us that by keeping the Sabbath we worship him. That is all we need to know isn't it?

Take Care.

Take Care.

Ezekiel and Isaiah came well after the exodus. How did the Israelites in the exodus know to worship on the Sabbath?

Your response here...

What do you think my post you are quoting from is saying? Are you trying to make an argument from silence to what is not recorded in the scriptures? What we do know is that Gods' people kept the Sabbath and God tells us that by keeping the Sabbath we worship him. That is all we need to know isn't it? How does what you are suggesting from something not recorded effect the scriptures that are recorded in regards to God telling us to worship Him on the Sabbath? - It doesn't.

Take Care.

I’m not making any argument, actually. I’m asking you to tell me how did the Israelites in the exodus know to worship on the Sabbath? All you have to do is admit that there was no requirement for them to worship on the sabbath, and we can move on.

As posted much earlier the scriptures are silent on this subject but the bible isn't as shown from the scriptures earlier.

Okay, what’s the difference between scriptures and the Bible?
The scriptures make up the bible. Your kind of losing me with this discussion to be honest. I do not see how it is relevant to the OP or anything else here.

Lol okay. So the scriptures they make up the Bible are silent, but the Bible which is made up of scriptures isn’t silent. Do I have that right?
