the seventh day Sabbath that was made holy by God before sin ever entered the world, see Genesis.

You tried this before, and must have forgot the reproof since you simply post the same refuted polemics. Yes, God ceased from His creative activity that day, but observance of it was not required until the giving of the Law. No one was commanded to do so before that (despite attempts by Sabbath worshipers to read that into Exodus 5:21–22, which refers to Ex. 4:29) as being an inseparable aspect of worship of the True God, and no one but Israel was commanded to do so, and no one but Israel was punished for not doing so, nor for not obeying ritual washings, (cf. Psalms 147:19,20) aside from the millennial reign of Christ.

Which is contrary to the basic universally applicable laws of Lev. 18, the breaking of which is why the land spued out the nations that were before Israel, (Leviticus 18:28)

The day Jesus said he was LORD OF THE SABBATH. God is the Lord, so that makes the Sabbath the Lord’s day.

Which means that He is the writer of the promises New Covenant, which is distinctly said to be "Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord." (Jeremiah 31:32)

And the details of in what way this differed is revealed in the epistles according to type, and which is that of"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," (Colossians 2:16-17) of "meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation," (Hebrews 9:10) thus such ritual observance of "days, and months, and times, and years" (Galatians 4:10) was part of going back under the Law.

The Ten Commandments have not changed one jot or tittle.

None of the Law has, but "if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law" (Galatians 5:18) "That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit" (Romans 8:4) is defined in the words and deeds of the NT church.

In which the command to keep the 7th day sabbath is nowhere repeated or reiterated in contrast the other 9. (1Cor. 8:5,6; Rv. 22:9: 1Jn. 5:21; 1Cor. 6:9; 10:7,14; Eph. 5:5: 1Tim. 6:1: Eph. 6:2-3: Rom. 13:9; Gal. 5:19-21; James 2:10-12: Rom. 13:9; 1 Cor. 6:9; 10:8; Eph. 5:5; Gal. 5:19-21; James 3:10-12: Rom. 13:9; Eph. 4:28: Rom. 13:9; Col. 3:9; Eph. 4:25: Rom. 7:7; 13:9; Eph. 5:3, 5. More here).

Neither is any NT church - as a assembly of converts (Acts 13:44) - described as specifically meeting on that day. In fact, the only specific day that believers as a group are described is that of the first day of the week. (Acts 20:7; 1Cor.16:2)

Jesus rose on the first day and post-resurrection appearances of Christ happened on the first day of the week. Then read what was already shown you in past debate, as here, and for historical purposes you were a multitude of quotes here .

The attempt to bind what the NT does not do, that of requiring observance of the 7th day, is what should be rested from.

If people only read the Bible instead of going with church tradition. Even Rome says traditionally that Nowhere, not a single text changed the Sabbath to Sunday

Rather, if people followed the Bible instead of parroting SDA polemics they should know that long before the church of Rome had such power then as said, the only specific day that believers as a group are described is that of the first day of the week, (Acts 20:7; 1Cor.16:2) and extant historical sources beginning from circa 100 AD attest to the resurrection day being the specific day of meeting for Christians.

Today’s evangelicals are weak on this and that is why they don’t even keep Sunday any more. Protestants never did away with the holy day. They just kept the wrong day but in the right way....and God honored that.

You argued this before, and I have alread told you that how I overall sanctify the 1st day which (which you commended me for), by the grace of God.

Todays’ evangelicals have bought dispensationalism.

Well, there is a dispensation of law versus grace, which is why do not literally keep the everlasting covenant of circumcision, and many everlasting, perpetual, forever covenants, statutes and ordinances.

That’s why they believe in the secret rapture and look to Israel.

I do not hold to a pretrib rapture, but believe the "rapture" being that of the Lord's return at the end of the tribulation, followed by the 1,000 year reign of Christ.

See previous posts on this, as by me here and here and here and following, by the grace of God, rather than posting more.

So you don’t believe in the 10 commandments. Just clarity that’s all. Not spin.
