Should Christians Be Keeping the Sabbath?

I mean, you just tossed a plain falafel in my direction, no sauce, and not telling me to catch it. You didn't say, well, Shabbat means no doing such and such etc.
-'lighting fire'. I think this only means literally lighting a fire. Like an effort.
-computer. it's ok Shabbat activity
-hard work, no, not allowed
work at a 'job', not preferable, only if totally necessary.
Sorry about that falafel…next time I will at least put some tahini on it!!

Disciple- I have something that I have been meditating on for some time now concerning the Sabbath. I have not made up my mind on what I think yet but I think you would be challenged by the read. I will message it to you shortly.

Yes. As they say..... WWJD? He kept the weekly sabbath and annual sabbaths (holy days) given by God -and taught the same.

Mat_5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Mat_15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Have you given any thought to who wrote gMat, when, and to whom?

You'd need an earthquake to strike and all the "Rabbinic Robots" to fall in, before they would give you a Karaite sub-forum in the DIR.....:D

So frustrating how ones Jewishness continues to be defined by a select few. Most of whom are ignorant to ancient Judaism to begin with!

Because you seem to imply that the author of gMat is a credible source for the statements of Jesus. I'm curious as to why/how you are so certain of this.
How do you know any author of scripture is credible? The truth is credible. People can tell truths and lies -but God will prove the truth to those he chooses.
The truth is that the sabbaths should be kept. God is the author of the truth.
