Commandments of God

The Mosaic Covenant is eternal (Exodus 33:14-17, Leviticus 24:8), so its terms are included in the New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:33, Hebrews 8:10). In Galatians 3:16-19, a newer covenant does not nullify the promises of a covenant that has already been ratified, so it does not nullify our need to obey God's law in connection with the promise.

as for the sabbath, is not every day the sabbath? one should be at "REST" in Christ Jesus. for in the Lord Jesus, we have REST.

are we not in the seventh day "REST" in God? for do not the believer LIVES in God, and not of himself? and is not God at REST? when one gives his, or her life to Christ, it is no longer he who lives but Christ who lives in US.

Moreover, a day that is holy is set apart and in order for something to be set apart there needs to be something else that it is set apart from, so to treat every day the same is to treat none of them as holy. In theory, God could have commanded to keep every day holy if that wasn't contradictory, but in His wisdom He commanded to keep the 7th day holy, so we should not think that we know better than God. If we did on every day what God wants us to do on the Sabbath, then we would do no work, but God also wants us to work.

In 1 John 2:6, those who are in Christ are obligated to walk in the same way he walked, so walking in obedience to His law is the find way to rest in Christ. In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus invited people to come to him and to learn from him, not inviting people to reject his example of walking in obedience to God's law. By saying that we would find rest for our souls, he was referencing Jeremiah 6:16-19, where God's law is described as the good way where we will find rest for our souls.

In Hebrews 3:18-19, they did not enter into God's rest because of their disobedience/unbelief, and in Ezekiel 20:13, it specifically mentions that they greatly profaned God's Sabbaths. In Hebrews 4:9-11, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, we should rest from our work as God rest from his, and we should strive to enter into that rest so that no one may fall away by the same sort of disobedience, so entering into God's rest should not be used to justify the same sort of disobedience. Christ lived in obedience to God's law, including keeping the 7th day holy, so that is the way that we live when he is living in us.

that's right, it's EVERY DAY........ (smile).
Luke 1:70 "As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:" Luke 1:71 "That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;" Luke 1:72 "To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;" Luke 1:73 "The oath which he sware to our father Abraham," Luke 1:74 "That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear," Luke 1:75 "In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life." (PLEASE READ THAT AGAIN). HOW MANY DAYS OF OUR LIVES? EVERY DAY, we should LIVE ""In holiness and righteousness before him" How many DAYS? all the DAYS of our LIFE, meaning in reduce simplest form..... "EVERY DAY".

Serving God in holiness and righteousness all of the days of our life does not involve disobeying His command to keep the 7th day holy.

Colossians 2:16 "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:" Colossians 2:17 "Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ."
Click to expand...
The Colossians were keeping God's holy days in obedience to God's commands in accordance with the example that Christ set for us follow and Paul was encouraging them not to let anyone judge them for doing that, so it is ironic when people try to use that verse to justify their refusal to obey God.

101G said:
HOLY DAY? question, "ARE YOU holy?" .... let's see, 1 Peter 1:14 "As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:" 1 Peter 1:15 "But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;" 1 Peter 1:16 "Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy."

In 1 Peter 1:16, it instructs to be holy as God is holy, which is a quote from Leviticus where God was giving instructions for how to do that, which includes refraining from eating unclean animals (Leviticus 11:44-45) and keeping God's Sabbaths holy (Leviticus 19:2-3)

101G said:
the term "CONVERSATION" means the way one LIVES. 1. General course of manners; behavior; deportment; especially as it respects morals.

just as Luke 1:75 states, "In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life."

are you holy just on a Saturday for some, or you holy just on Sunday for some others?

The way to live in righteousness and holiness all of the days of our live involves following God's instructions for how to do that, which includes the command to keep the 7th day holy.

ERROR, JUDGE no man servant, listen and Learn, Romans 14:4 "Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand." (READ THAT AGAIN) Romans 14:5 "One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind." Romans 14:6 "He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks." Romans 14:7 "For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself." Romans 14:8 "For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's." Romans 14:9 "For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living." Romans 14:10 "But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ." Romans 14:11 "For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God." Romans 14:12 "So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God." Romans 14:13 "Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way." Romans 14:14 "I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean." Romans 14:15 "But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died." Romans 14:16 "Let not then your good be evil spoken of:" Romans 14:17 "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost." Romans 14:18 "For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men." Romans 14:19 "Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another."

In Romans 14:1, the topic of the chapter in regard to how to handle disputable matters of opinion, not in regard to whether followers of God should follow God, so nothing in the chapter should be interpreted as teaching that it is ok to rebel against God. Human opinion must yield where God has given a command, so we are free to have our own opinions only where God has given no command. For example, in Romans 14:2-3, they were judging and resenting each other over whether they chose to eat only vegetables even though God gave no command to do that.

In Romans 14:5-6, Paul spoke about those who ate or refrained from eating unto the Lord, so he was speaking about those who esteemed certain days for fasting as a disputable matter of opinion. For example, some people chose to fast twice as week and were judging those who did not even though God gave no command to do that (Luke 18:12). Paul was not suggesting that we are free to commit murder, adultery, idolatry, theft, break the Sabbath, or rebel against any of God's other commands just as long as we are convinced in our own minds that it is ok to do, but rather that was only said in regard to things that are disputable matters of opinion in which God has given no command. The reason why we are to keep the Sabbath holy is not because man esteemed it as a disputable matter of opinion, but because God rested on it after creating the world in six days, He blessed it, He made it holy, He commanded His people to keep it holy, and because what is holy to God should not be profaned by man.

So a with Colossians 2:16, you should be more careful not to mistake something that was only said against the opinions or teachings of men as being against obeying the commandments of God. It should not make sense to you to interpret servants of God as speaking against what God has commanded, and even if that is what Paul had been doing, it should not make sense to you to think that we should then follow Paul instead of God. Christ did not keep every day holy, but rather he kept the 7th day holy and works the other six days in obedience to God's command, so you can choose whether or not to follow him in this regard. Again, if we did on every day what God wants us to do on the Sabbath, then we would do no work, but God commanded to work on the other six days.

Yes. Still, the context is in regard to things that are disputable matters of opinion for which God has given no command, so he was not speaking about what God has commanded. Even if Paul had been speaking against obeying what God has commanded, then then bottom line is that we should obey God rather than man, so we should be quicker to disregard everything that he has said than to disregard anything that God has commanded, though the reality is that Paul was a servant of God who never spoke against anyone obeying anything that God has commanded.

That post reeks of desperation. And it abjectly fails to answer the question... Where is the evidence in scripture that God replaced the observation of the literal 7th day Sabbath by keeping it holy, with either Sunday or a permanent rest? Certainly, the rest we have in Christ is a blessing and bring great peace to the heart, but that augments the observance of the Sabbath, it doesn't replace it. At least not in scripture anyway.
This is an important question. So important, because it deals with a commandment of God and has ramifications for ultimate acceptance of or submission to authority. If you don't have evidence that God has replaced the 4th Commandment, whose authority are you surrendering to? Seriously. You need to be honest here. You are all trying very hard to justify the ignoring of the 4th Commandment, but surely you can see that all your attempts are based on human reasoning? For example.
Luke 1:74,75. I'll put this as simply as I possibly can. You claim to be holy and righteous every day. Does being holy and righteous include obedience do you think to God's Commandments? Was Israel being holy and righteous when they abandoned the Sabbath and were taken into captivity in Babylon as a result?
"If ye love Me, keep My commandments".

in the PRIESTHOOD of Melchisedec. Hebrews 1:3 "Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;" ONE MORE, Hebrews 10:12 "But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;"

once again, a priest who sits is at REST, "NO WORK" ..... now how long is this rest/Sitting? Psalms 110:4 "The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek." how long is "FOR EVER?" every day.
and if one is in CHRIST JESUS then one is at "REST".

this is just too easy, basic bible study.

Romans 8:1 "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." Romans 8:2 "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death." Romans 8:3 "For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:" Romans 8:4 "That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." Romans 8:5 "For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit." Romans 8:6 "For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace." Romans 8:7 "Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be." Romans 8:8 "So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God." Romans 8:9 "But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his."

I have found that to be a common practise among those opposed to God's laws, particularly the Sabbath. For example, they will quote
KJV Mark 2:27-28
27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

in order to justify ignoring the Sabbath, but for the life of me I cannot see it in any other way than supporting obedience. I think in some cases people were scripture hoping it will Bamboozle you into submission. Can't argue with scripture... it's scripture.

If someone reads a verse and thinks that it is speaking against obeying what God has commanded, then they should be quicker to think that they must have misunderstood it than to think that it makes perfect sense to interpret servants of God as speaking against obeying what God has commanded.
