I looked and I have yet to find the word “Shemitah” anywhere in Scriptures. And if it’s not in the Word of God, I am not required to believe it.

Oh my goodness . . .

Shemittah is mentioned plenty of times in the Torah. It's the Hebrew word (the Torah is written in Hebrew, you know) usually translated "sabbatical year" in KJV English.

O.k so the Torah is written in Hebrew and the KJV Bible is written in English, the point being? You see, I'm an English speaking Christian, who reads the English language Bible. Not a Hebrew speaking Jew who reads the Hebrew Torah, and like I said, the word, “Shemitah” is no where in the the English speaking Bible.

Now as far as that "sabbatical year" goes, do you have English language New Testament verses that point to evidence that I as a Christian should be at all concerned with it? Were Christians in the New Testament, put under some sabbatical law that perhaps I should be made aware of?
