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?
Why would you say that? The scriptures in certain sections or chapters of the bible might be silent on a particular topic or subject matter. That does not mean that the rest of the bible is silent or other scriptures in the bible are silent on a topic or subject matter. Do you understand my application now? As posted earlier we cleared this subject 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. 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.

So just to ensure we are on the same page, the scripture are silent on the Israelites during the exodus worshipping on the sabbath, correct?

You just totally ignored what was posted to you and avoided answering any of my questions to you. Take your time and re-read what is posted to you. It is late my time. Perhaps we can talk about it more latter.

Goodnight for now :wave:

I’m not the one ignoring. You are the one desperately trying to avoid answering simple direct questions. That in itself is an answer. So no need to reply further.

Well that is not true at all so I respectfully disagree. I think anyone that is honestly following the conversation can see that you just ignored responding to the content of post # 161 linked and the questions asked of you there. Did you not just make a promise to me earlier that you would answer my questions to you (see post # 99 linked)? Anyhow, you do not have to if you do not want to just say so. Perhaps you can pray about it.

Anyhow thanks for the discussion :wave:

Isaiah 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord.

Worshiping YHWH on the Sabbaths and New Moons?

What a novel idea!

Actually, I invite anyone to read the thread to see how you never answered my question. I’m confident that they will see that you haven’t, and hopefully they will also see why.

Well that's the Spirit. Let God be our judge according to John 12:47-48. Arguments in silence are not an argument to break God's law.

Take Care.

I am sorry dear friend, but I do not believe you and have shown why in the post with supporting scriptures and questions you refused to discuss in post # 161 linked so we will agree to disagree.

Take care.

Sorry, but no, you have NOT shown ANYWHERE that the Israelites in the exodus were commanded to worship on the Sabbath. There’s no there there.

Please see post # 161 linked. Arguments in silence are not an argument to break God's law especially when the scriptures teach that God commands us elsewhere to worship him on the Sabbath (Ezekiel 46:1-3 and Isaiah 66:22-23). As posted earlier we cleared this subject up in regards to worshiping God on the Sabbath, 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. We should not base our arguments on things that a silent 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 in one section of the bible but directly recorded in other sections of the bible effect the scriptures that are recorded in regards to God telling us to worship Him on the Sabbath? - It doesn't. I am not sure why you cannot see this so we will agree to disagree unless you want to discuss my posts and questions to which you agreed to earlier.

Take Care.

Both of these passages are prophetic, and speak of future times. Should we live in the shadow of things to come? Should we do his will on earth, as it is in heaven?

Isaiah 66:22-23 is talking about Sabbath worship in the new earth. Ezekiel 46:1-3 applies worship to the Sabbath now not in the future. That does not mean that all of Ezekiel 46 does not have dual future applications (prophetic) prior to the second coming. Just so I understand what your saying if you do not mind me asking, is your view Gods Word does not teach we are to worship God on the Sabbath HARK!? I do not believe God's 4th commandment is a "shadow" of anything because it points backwards to the finished work of creation (Exodus 20:8-11) before there was any sin or laws (Genesis 2:1-3), not forward to things to come *Colossians 2:17.

Both of those passages also mention observance of YHWH's New Moons. Do you also regard YHWH's New Moons, along with His Sabbaths?

Not in the new covenant. According to the scriptures, the new moons are for times and seasons *Genesis 1:14-19. In the old covenant the new moons were used to determine the times and the seasons for the timing of the annual "shadow" Feast days and were linked to the old covenant "shadow laws" for remission of sins which were shadows of things to come that were pointing to and continued in Christ. Was there a reason you did not answer my questions to you in the post you are quoting from? Anyhow no need. You do not have to if you do not want to.

Well if the scripture that you presented is passe; then how does it support your argument?

I made no such assertion. I'm basically just here to ask questions and learn.

What do you think the post you are quoting from earlier (above) is saying? Does that sound like I am saying that the Sabbath of Gods 10 commandments that gives us a knowledge of what sin is when broken *Romans 3:20 is passe? As posted earlier both Ezekiel 46:1-3 and Isaiah 66:22-23 show from the very spoken Word of God that the Sabbath is a day of worship does it not?

Take care.
