27Then Jesus said to them, “The Sabbath was made to meet the needs of people, and not people to meet the requirements of the Sabbath. 28So the Son of Man is Lord, even over the Sabbath!”

I didn't know we needed to post a point the scripture speaks for its self doesn't it? and I underlined and put the main in bald writing.

Anybody can look up Scripture and read it for themselves. There's absolutely no point in starting this thread if you don't have something you're trying to say.

Jesus broke the old testament sabbath requirement. Yes we should not forsake the gathering together but we can do it anytime. And we aren't going to hell if we miss a specific day.

That is NOT what it says in Greek...
To Sabbaton dia ton anthropon egeneto, kai ouch ho anthropos dia to Sabbaton.

Imagine not having the sabbath and continuing on your weekly life to the next week so on and so on.

The Israelites are to observe the sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he abstained from work and rested. (Exodus 31:16-17)
Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the sabbath day. (Deuteronomy 5:15)

Speaking of the Sabbath, this is interesting regarding the resurrection of Jesus.
Mar 16:1
And when the sabbath G4521 was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
Mar 16:2
And very early in the morning the first day of the week, G4521 they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
Mar 16:9
Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, G4521 he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
Many believe Jesus rose on the weekly Sabbath day, not Sunday. These verses seem to confirm that view. It looks like the translators arbitrarily changed the weekly Sabbath day to the "first day of the week".

But back to the OP. The Sabbath is a day of rest, which many if not most people in the West badly need (it is said that 60 percent of Americans are 'sleep deprived'). As we are free from the ritual requirements of the OT Law we are free to actually rest on that day.

Not true at all. It does not say He rose on the Sabbath...

"and He said to them, the Sabbath on account of the man was made, and not the man on account of the Sabbath" (basically the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the sabbath). Adam (man) was created on the 6th day and the Sabbath on the 7th, so man was created first and the Sabbath after for him.

It was given to man (Adam in Hebrew) in Genesis, just as Yeshua said it was. It was to be A SIGN of the Mosaic covenant for the Jewish people.
