King James Bible
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Col 2:16.
Christ gave us one rule. Love our Father and each other.
There ya go...
Christ gave us one rule. Love our Father and each other.
There ya go...
In both the Old and New Testament.

And Jesus came to give and fulfill a NEW COMMANDMENT
John 13:34 (KJV)
34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another;
as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
This completes the union between Father, Son and HolySpirit
by joining the other TWO Great Commandments with this
THIRD that REJOINS the love of God and love of man AS ONE.
Made perfect in Christ Jesus, we not only love one another
but speak and do all things with God's Unconditional love, love for lovesake,
not the conditioned/material love of man based on expectation of reciprocity.
1. We love GOD with all our hearts minds and souls
3. We love our neighbors as ourselves
2. We love one another as Christ Jesus has loved us
which reconciles the love and laws of man with
the love and laws of God, made perfect in love.
I think not. Here's why.
Believers are not obligated to observe the Sabbath. The Sabbath was the sign of the Mosaic covenant. The Mosaic covenant and the Sabbath as the covenant sign are no longer applicable now that the new covenant of Jesus Christ has come. Believers are called upon to honor and respect those who think the Sabbath is still mandatory for believers. But if one argues that the Sabbath is required for salvation, such a teaching is contrary to the gospel and should be resisted forcefully. In any case, Paul makes it clear in both Romans 14:5 and Colossians 2:16–17 that the Sabbath has passed away now that Christ has come. It is wise naturally for believers to rest, and hence one principle that could be derived from the Sabbath is that believers should regularly rest. But the New Testament does not specify when that rest should take place, nor does it set forth a period of time when that rest should occur. We must remember that the early Christians were required to work on Sundays. They worshiped the Lord on the Lord’s Day, the day of Jesus’ resurrection, but the early Christians did not believe the Lord’s Day fulfilled or replaced the Sabbath. The Sabbath pointed toward eschatological rest in Christ, which believers enjoy in part now and will enjoy fully on the Last Day.

Growing up in an evangelical Protestant church and family (many of my relatives were/are ordained ministers), it was explained this way:
"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it." That's what it says in Exodus (New King James Version). We do not necessarily have to observe the same day as every other group does, or in the same way, but there is a clear instruction to reserve one day separate from our own Earthly pursuits. One day a week in which to focus on God and His priorities is not a lot to ask.
So how will the church get their dough from you?I think not. Here's why.
