Sorry, forgot the word of God when it comes to gentiles and the sabbath:
Isa 56:6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
Isa 56:6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
Besides this having nothing to do with the New Covenant since it clearly states that it’s the Mosaic Covenant that dealt with the Sabbath and strangers, and not the New.
And why is this about the sons of the stranger, and not the stranger himself?
Consider this, the stranger may have lived with Israel for years, but he was always a stranger in their eyes, unless they became proselytes.
But what about their children, who had been brought up living with and knowing the Jews as his own family. He was possibly as Jewish thinking as most Jews were, and God made it clear to them that He loved them also, and had a plan for them.
He told them that if they joined themselves to the Lord, and served and loved Him, and kept his sabbath and didn’t pollute it, and held to His covenant………………………………………
Isa 56:7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
Unless the the New Testament church was offering sacrifices and burnt offerings on the alter, then this certainly isn't taslking about the New Covenant era now was it, so then it has nothing to do with the New Testament times.
