No, I’m not approaching the sabbath apart from Christ so please stop saying that. I worship Christ on the sabbath but I also rest according to the commandment.
The Ancient Faith Ministries article isn’t consistent with the answers I am getting from other Orthodox including the priest I emailed and also you for that matter.
that's not what I meant, the Sabbath points us to Christ, for a very specific reason. you at least seem to be looking at the Sabbath apart from that.
Why do you keep insisting this? I already told you several times that I worship Christ on the sabbath. Christ is my God and King. I am a Christian and Christ is everything to me. I don’t know why you keep insulting me like this. It seems to be some kind of pride on your part.
If you rightly kept the sabbath, no one would care or notice unless you bring attention to yourself. That attention you draw on yourself would be your only reward.
It's being repeated because you keep missing the point.
I don't think anyone is arguing with you on this. We're all saying some form of "You don't have to, but you can."
Is it your argument that some of us are in the wrong for not keeping the sabbath because Abbot Tryphon wrote that we should a couple years ago?

It’s not a matter of attention and it’s rather insulting that you would insinuate that it is.
It’s a matter of having consistent doctrine and theology with the Church that I attend so we are in proper fellowship.
It’s also likely that the issue could come up in conversation and it’s definitely something I should discuss with the Priest as I go through the conversion process.
Catholic, but still:
I have studied this issue for many years. I am well aware of what the Catholic position is and I understand the arguments that most Sunday keepers make.
I used to be Roman Catholic and was confirmed in their faith. I left the Catholic Church because I disagree with some of their theology.
I’m more interested in discussions on the Orthodox Church position than I am in watching a Roman Catholic video.
and what I have been saying has nothing to do with when you choose to worship Christ, or that you do it on a Saturday.
In regards to the Sabbath, the Papists and we share the same view, pretty much which is why I posted it.
Not according to the article by Abbott Tryphon.
Well then why don’t you write a longer post and clarify yourself instead of just breezing by with short blips that are unclear and don’t really contribute to the discussion.
You misunderstood. Keep the sabbath, just don't go around banging drums and bringing attention to yourself as a "sabbath keeper" and you should be fine. That's all I'm saying.
Alright then I guess that is your answer. In the Orthodox Church sabbath keeping is a matter of personal preference.
saying that the Sabbath points to Christ because of His rest in the Tomb is pretty clear. I dunno how much clearer I can make it.
