Abraham is a special person because he believed in God and voluntarily obeyed God. Never was it commanded for man to observe a sabbath before Moses. In fact, God would prefer man to be more like Abraham and do God's will out of love, not fear.

The second reference is Mosaic law and the Israelites were under the Law, which Christians are not.

The sabbath "is not a problem for me" as as a Christian I worship on Sunday, the first day of the week, the Lord's Day. I also worship God on Monday and Tuesday and I also worship God on Wednesday. I also worship God on Thursday, on Friday and on Saturday. Where two or three are gathered together in His name is also worship and so sometimes I'm worshipping several times a day. Not being under the Law, I really don't think about it.

As for Sunday, the Lord's day, that is a public worship and more of a testimonial to our faith than worship. That's why unbelievers go to church-- to be seen. However, it is also an appearing before the Lord, and good to do.

I don't know how you jump from our posts here to the conclusion I want to worship "another god".

Abraham is a special person because he believed in God and voluntarily obeyed God.

Which is precisely why one should keep the 4th Commandment.

Never was it commanded for man to observe a sabbath before Moses.

There was no command not to murder prior to Cain and Able either, yet it was wrong, no? In fact, no laws were mentioned prior to Exodus, yet this verse remains:

Gen 26:5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

In fact, God would prefer man to be more like Abraham and do God's will out of love, not fear.

Peronally, I believe this is the point of it all. I could not agree with you more.

The second reference is Mosaic law and the Israelites were under the Law, which Christians are not.

This statement leads me to believe you don't read any of the postings other than TopCat54's.

This is the disconnect in a nutshell. The Christian God is the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Elijah, Daniel, Jesus, Mathew, Mark, Luke, John, etc. The Bible declares only ONE day in 7 to be Holy.

I don't know how you jump from our posts here to the conclusion I want to worship "another god".

I accused you of nothing. I simply stated fact. From Genesis to Revelation, there is only 1 Day to be kept (weekly) in honor of the True God of Creation. Of course, worshipping God 24X7 is righteous and just, but to purposely break a Commandment, and to teach others to do so, is incredibly dangerous, IMO.

Do you worship the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob?
