one more time- dismissing what John was referring to when he said the commands were- believe in the name of the Son and love one another. not Sabbath. I just read through 1st Corinthians - lots of instructions for believers . nothing on Sabbath. another example of a perfect place for Sabbath to be commanded for believers. but not there.
Hi gb9
Speaking your own words against God's does not change the Word of God no matter how many times you say it.
Ignoring anf rejecting scriptures in place of your own words over Gods does not make your words come true because it is written; let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That you might be justified in your sayings, and might overcome when you are judged (Romans 3:4).
You are free to teach and believe whatever you like. However you will be held accountable come judgement day for BELIEVING or NOT BELIEGINV God's WORD.
Jesus says; If any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejects me, and receives not my words, has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day (John 12:46-47).
You ignore the scriptures that tell all SIN will keep all who practice it OUT of God's KINGDOM in order to follow your traditions that break the Commandments of GOD because it is written men loved darkness rather then light because their deeds were evil (John 3:19).
If you were of God you would come to the light but you are not of God neither do you KNOW him because it is written; He that says, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him (1 John 2:4).
SIN will indeed keep all who practice it OUT of God's KINGDOM and this is the differenece between who God's people are and the children of the devil.
1 JOHN 3
3, And every man that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
4, Whoever
COMMITS SIN TRANSGRESSES ALSO THE LAW: for
SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF GOD'S LAW
5, And you know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6, WHOEVER ABIDES IN HIM SINS NOT: whoever
SINS HAS NOT SEEN HIM, NEITHER KNOWS HIM.
7, Little children,
LET KNOW ONE DECEIVE YOU: he that DOES RIGHTEOUSNESS IS RIGHTEOUS, even as he is righteous.
8, HE THAT COMMITS SIN IS OF THE DEVIL; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9, WHOSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD DOES NOT COMMIT SIN; for his seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10, IN THIS THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE MANIFEST AND THE CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL: whoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loves not his brother.
11, For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
12, Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And why slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
13, Marvel not, my brothers, if the world hate you.
14, We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brothers. He that loves not his brother stays in death.
15, Whoever hates his brother is a
MURDERER: and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
No need to be in confusion here. God's Word makes it very clear who God's saints are.
Revelation 12: [17], And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which
KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Revelation 14: [12]
HERE IS THE PATIENCE OF THE SAINTS: here are they that
KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, and the faith of Jesus. Yep if you are still in your SINS you are not on God's side or do you know him.

God's 4th commandment is one of the ten (Exodus 20:8-11) If we knowingly break it when God asks us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (James 2:8-12). If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness we are in danger of the Judgement (Hebrews 10:26-27)
Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has lead many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (Matthew 15:3-9)
There is not one scripture in all of God's Word that says that God's 4th Commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to KEEP Sunday as a Holy day.
Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of men or the Word of God? Who should we believe the Words of men or the Word of God?
In times of ignorance God winks at but now ,<when a KNOWLEDGE of the truth has come> calls all men everywhere to REPENT (FOLLOW) (Acts 17:30-31).
