The Sabbath is protected by law for all creation.

[stork321]

To any fellow Adventist I just want to share this with you..Any corrections in my understanding regarding this verses is highly appreciated

This is just my thoughts..maybe this verse will fit that "the sabbath is protected by law for all creation"....Sabbath keeping is included in the 10 commandments..So, if I will follow the other commandments and will not keep the 4th commandment, does this mean (according to what I understand from our non-sabbath keeper friends) I will not be liable or a trangressor of the law since its just for the Israelites ?

James 2:10-11 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law

You are correct. In short, they believe 9 of the 10 commandments apply to us but the fourth commandment doesn't. But just as the verse you quoted states, If you break 1 you broke them all because they are like a chain with ten links, if you break one link, the chain is broken.

God made the seventh day a holy day at its creation. God tells us to remember the seventh day to keep it holy. The words, remember the seventh day to keep it holy, points us back to the creation of the seventh day and reveals God's original will for man. What part of this don't you understand?

You didn't exactly answer my question. Yes, God made the seventh day of creation week holy. The only real arguement I have with this statement is that God told the Israelites to keep a weekly sabbath holy to God, not us. The sabbath points back to the Israeites being saved from Egypt as well as creation.

Do you pretend to try to keep the whole law? All 600+ of them?

thanks k4c. ...that's what I'm trying to say..the 10 commandments are like chain..disobey one commandment and the chain is broken...you'll be a transgressor of the law

I believe God is sending a strong delusion to the majority of people who say they believe in God because though they say they know God, they deny Him by their works. I posted a thread that clearly shows every one of the Ten Commandments confirmed in the new testament yet they reject them and willfully blind themselves to them.

The important thing to understand about that verse is that it reveals our hopelessness without Jesus. The Ten Commandments define godly love and righteousness they are not a means to salvation, but rather, a fruit of it.

Everything was given to and through Israel. God even says salvation of the Jews. Does that mean you're out? God revealed His will through Israel for all mankind. He even states in the new testament how everything Israel went through was for our example. The foundation of the new covenant is the new testament and the new testament confirms everyone of the 10 commandments.

The Israelites represent God's people through all time..

Eph 2:12,13-19
That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

Beautiful verse.

The covenant of Promise was given to Abraham was of salvation apart from the law through the Seed Jesus, the covenant of law was through Moses at Sinai. You know very well I can back this up with Scripture.

You're right...you even have Scripture to back it up.
