You are in error.
Jesus commanded it (even upon Mt. Sinai), John 14:15; Exodus 20:6, Exodus 20:8-11; Matthew 12:12, Matthew 19:17, Matthew 5:17-20 and more.
The Apostles commanded it, Hebrews 3-4, have you not read - https://www.christianforums.com/thr...hovah-my-rest-remaineth-to-my-people.8064956/
1 John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we
keep his commandments.
1 John 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we
keep his commandments, and
do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
1 John 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and
keep his commandments.
1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we
keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which
keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that
keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
The "commandments" are always a whole, a single "word":
Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto
the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may
keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
James said:
James 2:10 For whosoever shall
keep the whole law, and
yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
Again (See also Nehemiah 9:6; Psalms 146:6):
Acts 4:24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said,
Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:
Acts 14:15 And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should
turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:
Acts 14:16 Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.
Exodus 20:11 For in six days
the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Revelation 10:6 And sware by
him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
Revelation 14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and
worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
Acts 15:
Act 15:18 Known unto
God are all his works from the beginning of the world.
Act 15:19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them,
which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
Act 15:20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
Act 15:21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him,
being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
What were the Chrsitians (Jews and Gentiles) doing in
Acts 1:2, (4:24), 13:14,27,42,44, (14:15), 15:21, 16:13, 17:2, 18:4; ?
Paul set the example, just as Jesus had:
Luke 4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and,
as his custom was, he went into the synagogue
on the sabbath day, and stood up
for to read.
Luke 4:17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
Luke 4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
Acts 17:2 And Paul,
as his manner was, went in unto them, and
three sabbath days reasoned with them
out of the scriptures,
They knew the Sabbath was to be kept, but the pharisees, and scribes argued about how it ought to be kept. Jesus straightened all that out by His example. Paul followed this example.
Today the problem is different. We got people (deliberatly and knowingly, not speaking of the ignorant) going around saying the seventh day the sabbath of the Lord is not to be kept [period] inspite of the entire example and commandments of the whole OT and NT, and in the light of the Cross:
Isaiah 42:21 The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.
They (who knowingly do this, and teach others so, have a serious wrath upon them) are enemies (not my friends, for Jesus defined friends, John 15:14) of the Cross of Christ, and do not understand why Christ died. Instead, they go about and redefine "sin" (1 John 3:4) to suit their own disobedience to Gods will (Psalm 40:8).
Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Romans 11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
1 John 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
