Thanks Hank. This still however is not making any sense.

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. -
Hebrews 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.
we enter into the "Christian Sabbath" by interring into the rest provided by the finished work of Jesus Christ (It is finished).
we cease trying to please God with our own works by entering/accepting His rest.
Matthew 11
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
This rest is 24/7 into eternity. -

"My father is working until now, and I myself am working."
"It is right to do good on the sabbath."
And he refused to criticize his followers for picking grain, pointed out the pharisees will still get their ox out of a hole, and referred by comparison to David and his guys eating the bread that was only for the priests.
He certainly said nothing like what sabbatarians say today, and when he enumerated commandments he never mentioned that one, nor did the later NT writers.
What it is a 'wedge issue--' a we're-right-and-everybody-else-is-wrong thing, to feel better about yourself and boast in your own 'righteousness.' A mark of cults, to say it plainly. So if anyone points out Romans 14:5-6, that it's up to the individual to regard one day above others or to see all days as the same, you will nullify that one for OT scripture and strain to make NT scripture-- "...obey my commandments"-- conform to your own view. -

Hebrews 4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
How would then labouring, and keeping the Sabbath as Christ did, specifically keeping the 7th Day Holy, be a work one should "rest from" while somehow trusting in the merits of Christ? This logic does not apply to any other of the 10 Commandments. I do not "rest from" saving souls as "Thou shalt not kill" states. Why should I then "rest from" "Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy"? -

Also, Romans 14 has nothing to do with the Sabbath. It is speaking about doubtful disputations. Obeying the law of the God of heaven is not a doubtful disputation. All the points within it are absolutely necessary for us to follow with due diligence. -

All who break the heavenly sabbath are doomed to the wrath of God.

One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
There is nothing excluding the sabbath in this...nor meat or any kinds thereof. -

There are folks in love with God so much they have absolutely no idea what day they are in.

Isn't this "God distributing different amounts of Light" doctrine taught by the RCC also? -
