I thought the point was that when it came to keeping the ten commandments being reiterated in the New Testament, keeping the sabbath is conspicuously missing.
m
Matthew 5:33 basically says not to say "I swear to God".
He never said "do not take God's Name in vain" but He did say "keep the commandments" and he did say "the Sabbath was MADE FOR Mankind" Mark 2:27
And James 2 "Walk as He walked" fits with Luke 4 stating that it was Jesus' custom to lead out in Sabbath worship. How many ways are you looking for to find a position in contradiction to Bible details?? (Throw away that shovel).
At least start with the Bible details so obvious that Bible scholars on BOTH sides of the Sabbath debate admit to them. Why make it so hard on yourself?
If I were determined not to read much of the Bible and just wanted the easiest position - I would start with the part so easy that Bible scholars on both sides of a given debate freely admit to them. How does one NOT see that?
it's that neither Jesus nor the Apostles said to keep it or warned against breaking it.
I think you're confusing me with Major1
because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.” Genesis 26:5
What do you do with this text. you say the law was not added until Moses, Scripture says other wise. Now you have avoided answering this question 2 times. Please answer it. If you don't it will expose you for the fraud you are. You do not respect the scripture as you boastfully claim and you are not trying to obey God as you triumphantly pronounce.
Some people do imagine that - but in fact the Sabbath commandment is quoted from in part several times in the NT
- the one not quoted at all is "Do not take God's name in vain" -- that is not found at all in the NT
He never said "do not take God's Name in vain" but He did say "keep the commandments" and he did say "the Sabbath was MADE FOR Mankind" Mark 2:27
And James 2 "Walk as He walked" fits with Luke 4 stating that it was Jesus' custom to lead out in Sabbath worship....

Could you put the snarky personal remarks aside and just discuss the the topic please?
Jesus had a lot to say about the sabbath. But He didn't tell the people to keep it or to refrain from breaking it.
A good example of not quoting "Do not take God's name in vain"
which is true of "Do not take God's name in vain" but is not true of the Sabbath.
You statement is the real form of a strawman
In the NT We have not one "week day 1 is the LORD's day" but by contrast we have quotes directly from the Sabbath commandment several times as well as "Every Sabbath" Gospel preaching.
Actually I am speaking to two things
1.What is NOT found in the NT ( you suggest keeping the Sabbath is not found) and I show that not only do we have Sabbath preaching "every Sabbath" in direct contradiction
2- but I also point out what really is not found - which is week-day-1 observance.
I guess in your view God's only holy day and worship are words that don't belong together, but worship on a day God deemed for us to work does. That's why God gave us free will, He will never push God's Sabbath day on anyone. God wants us to want to obey Him, because it's how we express our love and Jesus would never want to force us to love Him or anyone else. God never lets go of us, we let go of God based on our choices.
Please understand. I am not your enemy. I am only posting Bible truths.
I did not call you a Fraud. I said you would be exposed as a fraud if you did not answer the question directly., 2 times you avoided the question. you are the one coming in with theological guns blazing attacking others, telling them they are wrong and you are the only source of valid biblical interpretation. You give a lot of heat for no reason, no one is attacking you they are disagreeing with. so cool your jets, and play by the rules and just answer the questiions. You make a lot assumptions that are not valid.Calling me a FRAUD because you do not agree with me is totally unacceptable!
Which does not say the first day is holy or a commandment of God, but here is the same story repeated in LukeWeekday 1 is an observance of the day of the resurrection.
"Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance." John 20:1
Where?
Matthew 5:34

Since you already dropped the point about Sabbath details so obvious that Bible scholars on both sides of the Sabbath debate admit to them I am wondering if you will care where the Exodus 20:11 part of the Sabbath commandment gets quoted. What do you think?
However......and the root of the whole discussion is that the Law was not given to the Church. The 10 Commandments were given to the children of Israel.
The Israelites were commanded to keep the Sabbath holy.
However, no command for Christians to keep the Sabbath is found in the New Testament.
Now.....YOU and every single SDA believers can observe and worship on the Sabbath!
We can banter back and forth all day but the truth is that There is no command in the Bible to keep the Sabbath
nor was it practiced prior to the giving of the Law on Mount Sinai
. ALL Scripture verses merely document God’s resting from His work on the seventh day.
You said, "Some people do imagine that - but in fact the Sabbath commandment is quoted from in part several times in the NT"
And I asked where? I asked this to get a better understanding of what the context of your statement is.
The context for my statement is that those quotes from the Sabbath commandment are found in the NT in places like the book of Revelation and the book of Acts.
My repeated question for you - that you are still not addressing, is whether you have looked at the implications of your post regarding the subject of Bible scholars on both sides of the Sabbath debate agreeing to certain incredibly obvious Bible details about the Sabbath.
