I find it sad, how those who call themselves by the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob, will vehemently defend days and holy days which celebrate other gods, but will refuse to honor a day which HE established from the beginning of time.
HE warns us, not to learn the ways of the heathens, nor to worship their gods, but I guess it is more important to honor traditions, for some, than it is to be obedient to what God tells us to do.
Exo 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
Joh 18:5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
Joh 18:6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
Christ, in that one sentence, calls HIMSELF the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob.
So, we also know HE created the world.
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
So, when I AM finished creating the world in 6 days, HE (Christ) rested, and called the day holy.
This same I AM spoke verbally with the children of Israel at Mt. Sinai. (Ex. 20)
This same I AM gives us the 10 Commandments.
Some say that the 10 Commandments were nailed to the cross, but refuse to read what that verse says, they choose to remain blinded by the same traditions which were nailed to the cross.
Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Notice what was nailed...
the handwriting of ordinances
Christ never once came against the law, nor against keeping Sabbath..
What HE came up against were the traditions of man
And Paul too never spoke ill of the commandments, but rather against those same traditions, but he did write about those who were forcing the gentiles to be circumcised. But then he explains why...
Those who become a follower of Christ, are circumcised of the heart.
The Sabbath is to be a day of remembrance for the time we were in slavery to sin.
Deu 5:15 And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.
The Sabbaths were to be a sign between us and God, so we would remember that HE alone is our God
Exo 31:13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.
Exo 31:17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
