SMM, would you clarify you first sentence. I’m not sure what you mean by “first mention” or your use of the semicolon.Originally posted by SpiritualMadMan:
I find fault with the insistance that the Sabbath be kept in a way that is not consistent with the Law of First Mention; The Ten Commandments; or Jesus...
The insistence of a specific day or form is, IMHO, in error...
And, I strongly protest and deprecate the insistence that I keep the Sabbath the same way that your particular denominations keep the Sabbath...
BTW Mich...
If the Lamb leads you through a field on the Sabbath and tells you to pick and eat even though some denominational sects would call it sin...
Would you follow Him there?

Secondly, it’s not my day nor did I choose which day of the week it falls upon. The homage for the aforementioned rests with Yahshua and his Father (Matthew 12:8).
Thirdly, I’m non-denominational but the truth that the Father placed the commandment in the center of the Decalogue has significance. As I already stated, not one of the other commandments has been abolished nor can they; that is the object of moral absolutes. By placing the commandment in the center of the Decalogue it is clear that the Father gave the fourth commandment the same standing as the other nine. This is also stressed by emphasizing that we “remember” it.
Consequently, your protest is against Yahweh, not me, as you suppose.
As to your final issue, clearly you’ve already been corrected on Matthew 12 or Mark 2. Yahshua’s correction concerning the proper observance of the Sabbath is not tantamount to any abolishment whatsoever.
