Sabbath Keeping Denominations

[Amanah]

Here are some scriptures showing the Apostle's observance of Sabbath and festivals:

Sabbath:

- Acts 13:14-15 (KJV): But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down. And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
- Acts 16:13 (KJV): And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither.
- Acts 17:2 (KJV): And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
- Acts 18:4 (KJV): And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.

Festivals:

- Acts 18:21 (KJV): But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.
- Acts 20:6 (KJV): And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.
- Acts 20:16 (KJV): For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

1. Hebrews 8:10 (KJV) - For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.
2. Hebrews 10:16 (KJV) - This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them.
3. Jeremiah 31:33 (KJV) - But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
4. 2 Corinthians 3:3 (KJV) - Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.

These scriptures describe the work of the Holy Ghost in writing God's laws and commandments on our hearts, which is a key aspect of the New Covenant. This inner transformation enables us to obey God's commands out of love and gratitude, rather than mere external obligation.

Do you desire to be under the law Sister Amanah?

I don’t know why yall won’t answer this simple question.

Did you realize that the apostles were Jews?

And did you realize that they told the Gentiles to observe no such thing?

Acts.21

[25] As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.

[Amanah]

Paul, Apostle to the gentiles, lived his life to be an example to follow.

Here are some scriptures where Paul encourages others to follow him:

1. 1 Corinthians 4:16 (KJV): Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
2. 1 Corinthians 11:1 (KJV): Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
3. Philippians 3:17 (KJV): Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
4. 2 Thessalonians 3:7 (KJV): For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
5. 2 Thessalonians 3:9 (KJV): Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.

In these scriptures, Paul is not promoting himself, but rather encouraging others to follow his example as he follows Christ. He is setting himself up as a model of Christian living, ministry, and conduct, and encouraging others to do the same.

I sincerely apologize. When I see Christian’s that don’t speak Hebrew saying phrases in Hebrew it gets me the wrong way.

Yes! I want to obey God's commandments

The Holy Ghost writes the Law on the tablets of the heart

1. Romans 8:2 (KJV): For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
2. Romans 8:4-5 (KJV): That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit... For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
3. Galatians 5:16-18 (KJV): This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh... But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
4. Galatians 6:2 (KJV): "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
5. 2 Corinthians 3:6 (KJV): "Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

These scriptures describe the "Law of the Spirit" as:

- A law that brings freedom from sin and death (Romans 8:2)
- A law that fulfills the righteousness of God (Romans 8:4-5)
- A law that guides those who walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16-18)
- A law that involves bearing one another's burdens (Galatians 6:2)
- A law that gives life, unlike the letter of the law (2 Corinthians 3:6)

The "Law of the Spirit" refers to the guiding principle of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer, which leads to freedom, righteousness, and life.

[Amanah]

The "Law of the Spirit" (Romans 8:2) is the New Covenant.

In this covenant, God promises to write His laws on our hearts (Jeremiah 31:33, Hebrews 8:10). The law written on our hearts is not a new law, but rather the same law given to Moses, now written internally rather than on stone tablets. This internalization of the law is a key aspect of the New Covenant.

In the Old Covenant, the law was external, written on stone tablets. The New Covenant writes the law on our hearts, making it an internal guide for our thoughts, attitudes, and actions.

This internalized law is the same law given to Moses, but now it's motivated by and empowered by the Holy Spirit. This is the "Law of the Spirit" that brings life and freedom (Romans 8:2).

Scriptures:

- Romans 8:2 (KJV): For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
- Jeremiah 31:33 (KJV): But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
- Hebrews 8:10 (KJV): For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.

So,

"I'm sorry I hurt you, but it's your fault I hurt you"

Nevertheless, apology accepted

[Amanah]

There are two parts to the Law:

-The Decalogue
-The Book of the Law

Regarding The Book of the Law, various laws:

-give further explanation for the 10 commandments
-are fulfilled with Christ being sacrificed
-now have a spiritual rather than literal application
-are common sense instructions for living
-and possibly something else I've left out

[Amanah]

So, the new covenant is the old covenant reformed,
Which was what I meant when I clumsily said it was the same covenant. And I apologize for that error.

Hebrews 9:8-10 (KJV)

8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:

9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;

10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

This discussion has really helped me formulate my thoughts.
