Should Christians Be Keeping the Sabbath?

Yes

Oh how I love the Word of God!
As Gandhi said about some self-proclaimed "Christians", "they elevated the man and forgot his message".

You just elevated a man, and not just any man, but a lost man named Gandhi.

Maybe if you read the Parable of the Sheep and Goats in Matthew 25, you'll understand.

What would you like to discuss about that scripture? I would love to explain it to you.

ALL the Law and Prophets spoke about Jesus.

Notice you cannot address the powerful words of Jesus that I spoke to you.

Go ahead, try to address what I posted.
I taught Christian theology for 14 years, so I well know what the scriptures say. However, unlike you, I have no desire whatsoever to undercut someone else's religion. Nor am I willing to judge others, much like Jesus taught, btw.

You brag about your college education.
Let me tell you what God says about that.

We do not need elected men to interpret God’s word for us, but we are to check the scriptures to check out those claiming to be teachers, see Mark 7:14; 2 Timothy 3:15, 16, 17; John 20:30, 31; Acts 17:11; and, Psalm 119:105.

For we do not write you anything you cannot read or understand. And I hope that, as you have understood us in part, you will come to understand fully that you can boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of the Lord Jesus. See 2 Corinthians 1:13,14.

God revealed the truth to little children, and God hid the truth from the wise and learned.

Luke 10:21 At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.

The world’s wisdom is foolishness to God
(Matthew 11:25; Luke 10:21; 1 Corinthians 1:7, 19-21, 25-27; 2:1, 4-7, 13; 3:18,19; 2 Corinthians 1:2; Ephesians 1:8, 17; Colossians 1:9; 2:3; James 1:5; 2 Peter 3:15).

Did you or not say this, "I taught Christian theology for 14 years, so I well know what the scriptures say."
Did I say anything about college? Did I brag about going to college? Does one have to go to college to teach Christian theology? The reality is that I taught it to adults at a local church, and no college education was necessary in order for me to do this. But yes, I did go to college.

Anyhow, Jesus said not to judge others, but you ignore what he said, so that pretty much sums up what you think about Jesus' teachings.

After this post, you're on my ignore list as I've seen enough of your self-righteous bigotry.

You are the bigot.
You are the one who thinks you have a special connection to God, just because of your blood relation.

You are the one who thinks your education means something to God.

You rightly judged yourself when you tried to condemn me with your lies.

You did not answer my question.
Now I need to answer you while you're the one avoiding my question.

You are lost on this. Do you know what to do now? Humble yourself.
My dodging friend. You have so much pride on you that instead of giving me a straight answer on what is the diff bet Judaism and Christianity, you give me this comments not even related to what I was asking. Humble yourself and just say, I don't know the answer, and stop pretending you knew what you're talking about..

The New Covenant is through Jesus' blood.

Jesus' blood makes us clean.

Jesus is the Sacrificial Lamb of God who takes away our sins once and for all.

We are circumcised in the heart by the Holy Spirit.
and yet can't tell the diff bet Judaism and Christianity.

Really.


When Jesus started his earthly ministry, it was already too late.


Luke 19:42and said, "If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace--but now it is hidden from your eyes.


The Jews who did not have faith were cut off and hardened by God so that they could not hear Jesus and repent. JESUS CAME FIRST FOR THOSE WHO ALREADY BELONGED TO GOD BY FAITH.


Mark 4:12so that, "'they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!'"


Luke 19:41As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it


John 12:40"He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, nor turn--and I would heal them."


Romans 11:8as it is written: "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see and ears that could not hear, to this very day."


Romans 11:7What then? What the people of Israel sought so earnestly they did not obtain. The elect among them did, but the others were hardened,


This scripture SAYS they were broken off; broken off is cut off.


Romans 11:20Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble.
It says in verse 20 “do not be arrogant” Ro 11:21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.

And in verse 25

Ro 11:25 I want you to understand this mystery, dear brothers and sisters, so that you will not feel proud and start bragging. Some of the Jews have hard hearts, but this will last only until the complete number of Gentiles comes to Christ.
 

Yes

You are lying. I have explained to you about Jews and Christians.

Humble yourself and believe the truth.

You have been ensnared by Satan.

I have plainly told you what the Bible clearly says.

The Jews are people who are blood related to Abraham.

The Jews had the teaching tools, the shadow of Jesus.

The teaching tools and shadow is about Jesus.

When Jesus came, he destroyed the wall of circumcision and human blood descent.

We are made clean and are the Israel of God's heart by faith in Jesus' blood.

Believe the truth. This is rare time for you right now. You have someone explaining God's Truth to you patiently.

That scripture is about how the JEWS who did not have FAITH were CUT OFF. Paul is warning that the Gentiles can be CUT OFF TOO IF THEY STOP HAVING FAITH.

what is your Christian denomination?

Christians--> Don't have to keep Shabbat, no.

NO ONE has to keep the Sabbath.

Any one calling themselves a Jew and rejects Jesus is CUT OFF from God.

The commands to observe special days are NO MORE.

The commands for circumcision of the flesh are NO MORE.

The commands for various external washings are no more.

The commands for animal sacrifices are no more.
