And that would be: Go to church. [Mark 1:21, and Luke 4:16]
Explain how That means go to church on sunday as opposed to saturday?
Amongnst other things it may mean, it at least means you don't do work, and your family doesn't work, and your servants don't work on Saturday.
I like your challenges, they tickle.
What tickles me is your ignorance passed off as wisdom.
The Sabbath was made for MAN - not Man for the Sabbath. Christ most certainly put common-sense ahead of Legalistic Pharisees, such as you.
Christians are to make up their own mind concerning the Sabbath - Thanks to what Christ did for us. We're free from laws of Moses as we love and seek Christ.
"One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord ...." (Rom. 14:5,6).
To that end Christians are not to bitch about OTHER Believer's decisions regarding stuff which simply does not matter:
"Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink or with regard to a religious festival, a new moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ." (Col. 2:16,17)
Dead to law: "So this is the point: The law no longer holds you in its power, because you died to its power when you died with Christ on the cross. And now you are united with the one who was raised from the dead." (Rom. 7:4).
Christ fullfilled the law; a Law given by God until Christ's Mercy and Truth showed up.
"For the law came by Moses, but mercy and truth came by Jesus Christ!
Thus, we're responsible to Christ and his Mercy and Truth. Paul said to the Galatians:
5:14 "For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
6:2 "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
Nothing you wrote about the Sabbath and "Keeping it Holy" has ANY bearing on Christ, His salvation, Or even which day somebody chooses to go to church.
