No. I disagree with you. God set an example for us -- you take a day off. God does not need to rest. WE need to rest. God does not need to be worship. WE need to worship.

Don't work on the Shabbat if you can help it. You need that time to worship the one true God, and to recharge your batteries. That's what I take from the Sabbath. That's what I think it means to say Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath.

It's wrong to say God didn't create on the seventh day. He Created the Sabbath.

i dont disagree with some of your statement..

one of the points i intended to make by saying this:
(He is the creator who commanded us (the Jewish people) to stop creating on the 7th day, Shabbos (that would be Saturday to you) in the Bible)
is to make the point that you did very nicely.

Don't work on the Shabbat if you can help it. You need that time to worship the one true God, and to recharge your batteries. That's what I take from the Sabbath.

Agreed, accept for the part of "if you can help it" unless you are referring to medical emergencies or other such reasons where true compulsion is forcing you not to observe. otherwise, there is not a permission to decide between in this case yes or this case no. consult the LOR.

G-d stopped creating on the 7th day. the creation of the 7th was not on the 7th. please clarify your comment if you disagree.

i never implied that G-d needs to rest, that would be a huge mistake. sorry if you interpreted it that way. However, G-d set into motion a pattern for all time for the benefit of those to whom he commanded to keep Shabbos. The pattern He set is programed into our very beings since our beings come directly from Him.

However, there is no restriction on a gentile from any form of labor on shabbos. Shabbos is not included in the Noahide laws.

in regards to G-d needing to be worshipped, not so certain about this...
