it clearly says sons of isreal.
Ex. 31:16, 17: “The sons of Israel must keep the sabbath, so as to carry out the sabbath during their generations. It is a covenant to time indefinite [“a perpetual covenant,” RS]. Between me and the sons of Israel it is a sign to time indefinite.” (Notice that sabbath observance was a sign between Jehovah and Israel; this would not be the case if everyone else were also obligated to keep the Sabbath. The Hebrew word rendered “perpetual” in RS is ‛oh·lam′, which basically means a period of time that, from the standpoint of the present, is indefinite or hidden from sight but of long duration. That can mean forever, but not necessarily so. At Numbers 25:13 the same Hebrew word is applied to the priesthood, which later ended, according to Hebrews 7:12.)
Rom. 10:4: “Christ is the end of the Law, so that everyone exercising faith may have righteousness.” (Sabbath keeping was a part of that Law. God used Christ to bring that Law to its end. Our having a righteous standing with God depends on faith in Christ, not on keeping a weekly sabbath.) (Also Galatians 4:9-11; Ephesians 2:13-16)

Hmmm, I'm not exactly sure of what you are saying.
The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath.
I think the principle behind the sabbath was to give man a day of rest, and to help them focus on God. A sacred day. It is an expression of God's love to man, that He wants them to have a break from work for a day, and draw near to Him.
Though we are not under the law as Christains. We are under grace, and are in relationship with God. Though I'm sure God's heart would ache if we worked ourselves into the ground, and also didn't find some quality time with Him, our precious loving Father. He craves our company. It gives Him much joy.
God bless you, because He loves blessing you.

That is not what the bible says. The seal is the holy spirit of God, who is in every christian who believes and loves Jesus. PROOF:
Ephesians 1:13
13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were SEALED with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who[b] is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.
MORE PROOF:
Ephesians 4:30
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were SEALED for the day of redemption
This is the new covenant of Christ which God said he will make with his people. When the the new covenant is come, the old one is obsolete and will soon disappear:
Hebrews 8:13
13By calling this covenant "new," he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear
Read from verse one to understand and put this verse in context.
God bless you.

which of them have been saved out of the Bible and how do you practice that they might desire to have been interior the Bible interior the 1st place? Are you bearing on the apocrapha or pseudopigrapha? Are you particularly in contact approximately this or purely throwing it available to create doubt? you probably did not supply one occasion. There are actually not any lacking books. The apocrapha books are historic previous yet not Scripture. Pseudopigrapha is named that because of the fact "pseudo" skill fake and "grapha" skill writings. they're fake writings because of the fact they weren't written by an apostle or a particular affiliate of an apostle. they don't seem to be religious in nature writing with certainty to construct a man or woman up from the interior out, yet are conjectural, theoretical, and phenomenological. Christians, you may properly be certain that the sixty six canonical books are the word of God. God has not left something out. guy did not verify the word of God, God did. guy in uncomplicated terms chanced on what God already desperate replace into the word of God.

The only thing the laws and statutes of the old testament ever delivered was condemnation.
Jesus gave a new and better covenant, not dependent on any of the old laws.
Jesus, the church he founded, and the grace he obtained for us on the cross, are the current means of salvation for all.
Why beat a dead horse, when you can have a virtually free ride?

God gave commands to the Jewish to keep the sabbath Holy- God commanded them to give their farm land a year of rest on the seventh year.
God gave them the festival of Unlevened Bread- which on the seventh day they celebrated Holy Convocation-
7 is used over and over again in the bible declaring completion
and you failed to include the rest of Exodus- 'Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it must be put to death; whoever does any work on that day must be cut off from his people. 15 For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death. 16 The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. 17 It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he abstained from work and rested.' "
in your explaination.
and yet again- it repeats in exodus 20:8Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. 11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
God is referring to REMEMBER as remembrance of the Lord and what the Lord has done for the Israelites.

Uh...people know sabith is on saturday, at my church anyway. But we still have service on Sunday. We have one on Saturday nights if you want to go to those though.
And I am the temple of God...just like any other christian.
oh and...Jesus broke the mold on what Sabbith was in the N.T.
Keep doing research. Grow. God tells us to in his word.
Just dont become a Pharisie with a spiritual sprit keep every letter buf forget the one behind them.

Jehovah's Witnesses love to focus on this verse, yet leave out all the others regarding salvation through faith in Christ but not by works.
We are saved by faith not by works. Also, Jesus is not Michael the Archangel. And yes, there is a literal hell.
Please at least state where you are coming from.
