How do you equate "Children of Israel" to all Christians under Christ? Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Like I said before, that is the same broad logic Catholics use to justify Mary as having special intercessory powers.
Jesus' words actually contradict the worship of Mary:
Luk 11:27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. Luk 11:28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
So do Pauls':
1Ti 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
As I have posted earlier, the Scriptures uphold the Sabbath from Genesis to Revelation. Your likening Sabbatarians to Catholics adds nothing to the discussion.
Next, you confuse the word rest with worship. Worship went on in the Temple and Tabernacle seven days a week (except for some national religious holidays). Where is the command to worship on Saturdays for Christians?
You are correct. Keeping the Sabbath holy does not require atending services. However, the tradition of attending sevices and fellowshipping with like minded Christians on the Sabbath is scriptural and I feel very healthy.

You responded... Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Very good. Now read the rest of Galatians. These people were hung up on the same thing you are, but Paul has more to say to them.
Gal 3:10 ¶ For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
Gal 3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, [it is] evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
Gal 3:12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
Gal 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree:
I recommend reading Romans 3 also...
Rom 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
"Jesus' words actually contradict the worship of Mary:"
I agree, but when you discuss Mary having special powers with Catholics, they present the same logic you do, when you say, "Where is the verse that recinds Sabbath keeping?" It points to not looking at the other evidences.
Your likening Sabbatarians to Catholics adds nothing to the discussion.
Merely an observation on my part.
However, the tradition of attending sevices and fellowshipping with like minded Christians on the Sabbath is scriptural and I feel very healthy.
I am certainly not saying that you should quit worshiping with other Christians on Saturday. I am merely defending against the idea that Christians are REQUIRED to worship on Saturday.
Sincerely
