I was asked the question on another forum, "What will happen to all those Christians who don't worship on the Sabbath?" I gave the following answer... there are some verses that give a clear answer. Here is what best applies....
Acts 17:24-30
24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

When we unknowingly make a honest mistake, Gods grace is sufficient and He winks at our ignorance. But when we in all fullness of understanding knowingly do it.......

Not sure what you mean by "reject". It had its purpose in the specific period from Moses to Christ, as the rest of the Mosaic Law.

Because it does not belong to Christians, it can be neither "rejected" nor "accepted".

P.S.: Sabbath was not about a day of worship, but about physical rest - not doing any work.

We either accept His Law in our hearts and minds, His Word in our hearts and mouths through Christ or we reject it.

Resting and keeping the day holy are two different things. Though resting on the Sabbath would be part of keeping the day holy. it is not all inclusive. The text below shows us that when it speaks of defiling the day and the punishment is death. And then states that if one works on the Sabbath they shall be cut off rather then stating that they should be put to death.

How does one keep a day Holy and not defile it? By Worshipping, praising and doing things of God.

Exod 31:14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

The problem is there are to many disagreements on which day is the Sabbath . We let judgment get in the way and condemn those who don't believe as we do. Would you be asking that if you found out you were wrong? I bet God cares little with how we knit pick his guidance.

Acts 5:4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
Acts 5:5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
Acts 5:6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
Acts 5:7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
Acts 5:8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
Acts 5:9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
Acts 5:10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.

Unbiblical ideas. Bible gives no instructions to worship or praise God specifically on Sabbaths. It was always about the physical rest.

Isa 66:23 And it shall come to pass
That from one New Moon to another,
And from one Sabbath to another,
All flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says the Lord.
Not sure why you left out the new moon.

Isa 66:23 And it shall come to pass
That from one New Moon to another,
And fromone Sabbath to another,
All flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says the Lord.

Do you worship on New Moons? Or what do you try to say?

That is a bad habit of not answering the points given to you.

From the Bible is unbiblical?

Yes, I worship God from one month (new moon) to another and from one Sabbath to another. This is in the New Heaven and New Earth- which means the Sabbath never ended or will it. God’s will for us in heaven is the same for us here. Mat 6:10

Thats what happens when you take ancient Jewish symbolism literally and for you today.

P.S. New moon is not just "one month" as Sabbath is not just "one week". Those are more specific times.

"During the new moon, the moon is between Earth and the sun, and the side of the moon facing toward us receives no direct sunlight, making it invisible from Earth."

Month to month not the festival. As the LXX has translated.

Isa 66:23 And it will be month by month, and Sabbath by Sabbath, [3 shall come 1 all 2 flesh] to do obeisance before me in Jerusalem, said the LORD.

Because the symbolical new heavens are said to have no sun, the New moon worship is nonsensical, if taken literally.

Your reading of the Bible leads to a lot of problems.

Just because the New Heaven and Earth won't have a need for sun, doesn't mean there won't be days, Jesus tells us there will be. We are told the saints will be working - planting Vinyards building houses- but the Sabbath worship continues. So there will be still be days.

If no rebuttal is what you have then that is what you should of said.

The New Moon is not worshipped, you might want to read again to see Who is worshipped.
Nobody said that the new moon is worshipped.

You claim that the new moon will exist in new heavens. But it cannot be, without sun. The definition of a new moon is a specific position of the moon between Earth and Sun. Also, its said there is no night in new heavens, so in any case, all your Bible reading put together ends in an implosion.

Because you take it literally, while its symbolic.

Edit - you are changing your posts significantly after being already quoted and responded to, again. Its unethical, if its not just some grammatical fixing.

Amen! We can either take a text and it's surrounding context for what it says or we can twist it to our destruction.
