If God rested, blessed, the seventh day & said to keep it holy and to remember the sabbath day(Gen 2:2-3)(Exod 20:8-11)(Deut 5:12) which is Saturday(fri-he died Sat-he rested Sun-he rose)
"the sabbath was made for man." Mark 2:27 man = all mankind world wide..amazingly can't find sabbath for jews anywhere?
Jesus said "if you love me keep my commandments" John 14:15
Would Jesus kept his fathers commandments?

Throughout the gospels, Jesus did keep the Sabbath day as required in the ten commandments. The apostles did so as well in Acts.

You cannot say that you are a follower of Jesus if you refuse to even try to do what he asks for. I did start obeying the 4th commandment 12 years ago and my life has improved dramatically. Obedience to the commandments are for our good, not God's. It is a show of our love for and loyalty to Jesus when we obey his commandments.

Jesus made it pretty clear that the prohibition against 'work' on the Sabbath was not absolute, but should be respected as far as reasonable.

FYI - The Sabbath *IS* for Jews - and everyone else, for that matter. I seriously have to wonder about your motivation for claiming otherwise, especially the implication that Jews are not part of 'all mankind worldwide.' Genesis, Exodus, and Deuteronomy are all part of the Torah, so the Sabbath is a Commandment for Jews. Since God must have known the Christians were coming (He is omniscient) and didn't specify any exceptions, the Sabbath commandment applies to all people.

That is, if you take the Bible as an actual rulebook.

What Laws does Jehovah God want us to obey? Must we keep what the Bible calls "the law of Moses" or,sometimes,"the Law"?(1Kings2:3;Titus3:9) This is also called "the law of Jehovah," because he is the one who gave it.(1Cronicles16:40) Moses merely delivered the Law to the people.
The law of Moses consists of more than 600 individual laws, or commandments, including the 10 main ones. As Moses said:"He{Jehovah} comanded you to perform, even 10 commandments; and he wrote them upon tables of stone."(Deutronomy4:13; Exodus31:18King James version) But to whom did Jehovah give the Law, including the Ten Commandments? Did he give it to all humankind? What was the purpose of the Law?
TO ISRAEL FOR A SPECIAL PURPOSE
The Law was not given to all humankind. Jehovah made a covenant, or agreement, with the descendants of Jacob, who became the nation of Israel. Jehovah gave his laws to this nation only. The Bible makes this clear at Deutronomy5:1-3 and Psalm147:10,20.
The apostle Paul asked the question: "Why then, the Law?" Yes, for what purpose did Jehovah give his kaw to Israel? Paul answered:"To make transgressions manifest, until the seed should arive to whom the promise had been made........Consequently the Law has become our tutor{or, teacher} leading to Christ,"(Galatians3:19-24)
The special purpose of the Law was to protect and guide the nation of Israel so that they might be ready to accept Christ when he arived. The many sacrifices required by the Law reminded the Israelites that they were sinners who needed a Saviour.(Hebrews 10:1-4)
CHRIST IS THE END OF THE LAW
Jesus Christ, of course, was that promised Saviour, even as the angel proclaimed at his birth.(Luke2:8-14) So when Christ came and gave his perfect life as a sacrifice, what happened to the Law? It was removed. "We are no longer under a tutor," Paul explained.(Galatians3:25) The removal of the Law was a relief to the Israelites. It had shown them up as sinners, for all opf them fell short of keeping that Law perfectly,"Christ by purchase released us from the curse of the Law," Paul said.(Galatians3:10-14) So the Bible also says:"Christ is the end of the Law."(Romans 10:4; 6:14).
The Law actually served as a barrier or"wall" between the Israelites and other people who were not under it.By the sacrifice of his life however, Chrst abolished.......the Law of commandments consisting in decrees, that he might create the two peoples {Israelite and non-Israelite} in union with himself into one new man."(Ephesians2:11-18) Concerning the action thart Jehovah God himself tooktoward the law of Moses, we read"He kindly forgave us all our tresspasses and blotted out the handwritten document against us, which consisted ofdecrees {including thr Ten Commandments} and which was in opposition to us {because of condemning the Israelites assinners}; and He has taken it out of the way by nailing it to the torture stake."(Colossians2:13,14) So with the perfect sacrifice of Christ, the Law was brought to an end

Jesus not only would have kept his Father's commandments but he did do everything his Father commanded of him. To the best of my capabilities I am living my life in accordance to Bible standards. However, as I am imperfect, I still make mistakes but I don't excuse them. I pray to God for forgiveness and make every effort not to continue to make the same mistakes, and I definitely make every effort to refrain from doing things that I know are wrong. Today because of my spirituality, my conscience won't allow me to do a lot of things, and for this I am grateful....

I10% is not possible, the best you can do is 100%. You've been brainwashed by too many bad sports metaphors. Just do what the Bible say's. Its not that complicated, people are just stubborn.

Instead of quoting from a book that, at best, is second hand information, why don't you just speak in your own words?
