Bible Question (short): The truth about the 7th-day Sabbath?

Question (full): What is the truth about the 7th-day Sabbath?

The 10 commandments in Exodus 20:3-17 were written by the finger of God (Exodus 31:18). Within these commandments it states "the seventh-day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God". Jesus rose on a Sunday (Matthew 28:1) which we all celebrate as Easter Sunday and also rested on Sabbath (Saturday). There is a prophetic warning in Revelations 14:12 about the end-times "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus".

Colossians 2:16-17 reads "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ." This is not referring to the 7th-day Sabbath given in the 10 commandments. These Sabbaths are a "shadow of things to come, but the body of Christ", this is referring to the Sabbath feasts described in Leviticus 23:37-38 "These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day: Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD." The Sabbath feasts I do agree are an ordinance of man which was done away with at the cross of Christ. This feast "shadowed" Jesus' sacrifice for us. Jesus' death liberated us from sin. SIN is what keeps us in bondage, not the law.

The 7th-day Sabbath was not only for the Jews. In Acts 18:4 "And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews AND the Greeks." and in Acts:13:44, Paul and Barnabus preached to Gentile gatherings on the Sabbath. Ever since creation: Genesis 2:2-3 "God blessed the seventh-day, and sanctified it". Even in heaven and the earth made new will congregations keep the Sabbath: Isaiah 66:22-23 "For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD."

This discussion turns into whether or not we are required under the new covenant to keep the 10 commandments. Jesus kept the 10 commandments (John 15:10) Jesus says in John 14:15 "If ye love me, keep my commandments"

John 13:34 "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another."
Love is directly connected with keeping the commandments. In Romans 13:8, "Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

Matthew 22:37-40 "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets". This first and great commandment, Jesus actually quoted Deuteronomy 6:5 and this stated just after the 10 commandments that are in Deuteronomy 5. 1 John 5:2 states "For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous."

A remnant church during the end times is described as those "which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." Revelations 12:17
