If God made the Sabbath and sancified it in creation, how is only for the Jews?

Question

And when Paul met on the first day, wasn't that on saturday at sunset (the first day in Jewish tradition begins at that time)?

I spelled sanctified wrong....

Answer 1

The sabbath is commanded to all who accept the bible.

Not to Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Mormons and others.

Answer 2

I'm not sure what you are getting at here. If God wants the Sabbath to be only for the Jews, then God has the right to dictate his rules anyway that he wants to. Who can argue with God and win?

The western Sabbath (Saturday) is arbitrary, and is not the same as the Jewish Sabbath that Moses intended anyway, since the Jews went by a lunar calender, and the Romans went by a solar one (and we still do). Paul said in Romans 14 and Colossians 2:16 that you could call any day holy that you wanted to; God would honor your intent.

If God said it, then neither you nor I can tell God that he is wrong.

Answer 3

When Jesus cam He said 'I am the sabbath' And the sabbath of the OT was a day of rest and most of civilation practices that by not working a at least one day of the week =)

Answer 4

Jewish law is simply that, Jewish law. Torah is about our relationship with the divine. We have no claims of it being universal in the way that Christianity tries to make it.

If you wish to worship on Saturday, that's your choice.

Answer 5

Christians took Sunday for their sabbath but they do not sanctify it.

Answer 6

the sabbath is the seventh day of YOUR work week what ever day that lands on.

Answer 7

it was a test command for them
