SABBATH...

[Capbook]

Is the Lord's Sabbath in the OT still for God's people in the NT?

Luk 23:56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment

[Capbook]

Heb 8:10 God put His laws in His people's mind and written it in His people's hearts. Do you not consider yourself one of God's people?

If you want to ask me personal questions do so in a more appropriate forum

I will certainly consider answering your questions there if I am so inclined.


JEHOVAH'S WITNESS

Heb 8:10 God put His laws in His people's mind and written it in His people's hearts.
Sorry, but God said it to His people.

There's no need to apologise, I agree. Did you have a point that was not about my personal relationship with God?

As you agree with Heb 8:10, my point is Sabbath is in that law that God give to His people.

No the Sabbath observation of a weekly Sabbath that prohibited work was part of the MOSAIC law that was written intially on tablets of stone and then on parchments (paper). The law Paul speaks about was a part of a new covenant between God and those that love God. This new arrangement was not written on stone tablets but symbolically written in the hearts of believing Christians.

Christians do not have to keep a weekly Sabbath, but can worship on any day of the week. Indeed their whole lives should be a "sabbath" since the real meaning of the Sabbath was to prioritize spiritual matters.

The period of rest, or Sabbath, for the children of God is the Millennium. There will be six one-thousand-year God days of work followed with a thousand-year period of rest or Sabbath.

God still keeps what? Did you have a scripture in mind?

Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them; for I am Yahweh their God; but I will for their sake remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am Yahweh.
Lev. 26:44-45

[1213]

There is no exception in the Mosaic law, sacrifices (at least 3 a year) were obligatory.

Please give the scripture, where is that said?
