I'm not saying for you to acceptmit blindly. I'm just saying that trying to piece together a theology and seeing if it matches Orthodoxy doesn't work. That's why there's 60,000 Protestant Denominations. I'm suggesting you look at Orthodoxy in its entirety to see if it is correct. I'm suggesting you rethink your approach.Jesus calls us to be disciples. A disciple is a student. I will continue my studies at least until I reach a conclusion but I’m sure I will continue after that. I’m not able to accept a religion blindly simply because someone tells me that it is true. I have to study it out for myself.
Orthodoxy is a good fit for everyone. But it is not Protestant. It does not change for our whims or personal preferences.This may be somewhat the answer I am looking for.
So then Orthodoxy may not be a good fit for me?
how would you be out of place?

That's the thing... It's not a relevant question to us. We are not wrapped in Protestant verbage. We keep the Sabbath as others have explained. However, as you would define keeping the Sabbath, no we do not. We are not Adventist in our theology
No we keep it as The Church has always kept it.So you keep it in your own way but you do not rest according to the 4th commandment?
No we keep it as The Church has always kept it.
Regarding Sunday maybe, but we have had problems with Rome regarding the Sabbath almost from the very beginning!
As a sabbath keeper how would Orthodoxy be a good fit for me? I have no plans to alter my beliefs.
Army Matt explained our belief in detail. I'm not sure what you want.Can you please elaborate and give me a description of what that means?
What are your beliefs with regards to the sabbath?
Are you trying to retain your Jewish heritage?

What do you want to know?How did he explain it in detail? With his short one line answers?
All he told me was that Jesus rested in the tomb on Saturday so you honor that.
That doesn’t seem like a very detailed answer.
I am Jewish but I keep the sabbath because Jesus commands us to obey the commandments.
I keep the sabbath in the same manner as the Jews by resting from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. I also try to spend this time emphasizing worship, study, and communion with Jesus Christ.
My method of keeping the sabbath is similar to SDA or Messianic Christians.
the fasts are relaxed on the Sabbath the same way they are on the Lord's Day. It is a day of rest with anticipation and preparation for the Eucharist.How did he explain it in detail? With his short one line answers?

Jesus said all the law hangs on two commandments. If we are striving to keep those two then we are keeping the Sabbath.I am Jewish but I keep the sabbath because Jesus commands us to obey the commandments.
It’s possible that it is a theologumenon.
