Avodah and Malacha? and God says?

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.

That seems to put a huge "kabash" [Hebrew word] on how Messianics keep the Sabbath "according to the Bible".

And then there is this:

Exo 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

BDB Definition:
1) occupation, work, business
1a) occupation, business
1b) property
1c) work (something done or made)
1d) workmanship
1e) service, use
1f) public business
1f1) political
1f2) religious

Perhaps you could explain to me how this would be interpreted by Israel at the time that God gave this commandment seeing that they had just fled Egypt and had no jobs, no political affiliation, no religious system, did not own a business, etc. BUT, 1c - 1e definitely leaves room for NOT cooking, cleaning, and entertaining. Oh, and they did not have Torah studies either or an oneg

Quote: By the same token, as Messiah taught, redering medical assistance on Sabbath is also permitted.

I am sure that is at the top of everyone's list at schul

Luk 16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

Gal 6:13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

Gal 2:4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

Gal 6:12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
