Keep the Sabbath, Saturday or Sunday & Rest in Christ

[Vic]

I think it's a mistake to try and make a full doctrine on simply one verse--even if the Acts 15:21 did suggest the keeping the sabbath, which it doesn't. There are way too many other passages which discuss the whole impact of what the New Covenant did, including bringing better promises, a new priesthood and with it a new law. If something is new---it's not old.

I realise that is an incredibly profound statement--but the scriptures tell us that Jesus brought the new. What it entails is found within the writings of the New testament. And it is very much different on some of these issues in the time frame from when Christ walked the earth and then after He died and rose again. If we hang onto the old, we really can't have accepted the New and all that is stated in the Scriptures concerning it.

Further as Rose pointed out, keeping the Sabbath was, according to the Mosaic law--or Sinai covenant, which was being read in the synagogues every week:

Exo 16:29 See, for the LORD has given you the sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide you every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.

So...even IF the sabbath observation was to continue according to the Mosiac law, under the New Covenant---no one is presenting it to be kept the way God intended from the Mosaic Law. Are they?

Jesus is our sabbath rest. And those who rest in Him from their own labors, are remembering that example of the sabbath every day.
