Remember the Sabbath day

One of the ten commandments - Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Do you do this? Why, or why not? In what way?

I do not keep a day as the sabbath for various reasons.

It is a memorial of old creation, not the new to which I belong.

It is a shadow of the actual sabbath in God's Spirit. So, we essentially do keep it if we enjoin into the eternal sabbath of the Spirit that lasts more than 24 hours.

Jesus never repeated this law but did speak of Himself as the Rest.

The apostles only observed it in order to reach Jews, and not because they felt they had to observe it as required of them, personally by God.

The ten commandment Covenant has been replaced by Elohim. The New Covenant tho containing 9 of those commands does not contain the Sabbath command. If it did we would be keeping it.

Amazingly we do not now call them the nine commandments

Can you please show me in scripture where the fourth commandment was specifically put away?

"Put away" is an inaccurate term. Rather, "fulfilled" or perhaps, " continuing 'sabbath' "rest" is more in keeping with the New Covenant of which the Old Covenant Prophets spoke. We can find the directives in passages such as:

Col 2:14-17

14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Hebrews 8:1-13 is an enlarged view of the DIVINE arrangement concerning Israel affecting the gentile engrafts in this hour.

Is the "Sabbath" expurgated from among the people [BODY of Christ?] or is the "rest" [Sabbath] other than a particular "day" of the week? Surely those who have entered into Christ have ceased from their assumed works of righteousness having "received" Him [the only acceptable offering for sin] and are now at rest. What does a certain day of the week have to do with justification by faith alone? Keeping a certain day of the week is ineffectual concerning propitation or justification. Paul [if you receive him] has written that no man is to judge others in regard to a holyday, new month or the Sabbath "days." More than one is revealed in Scripture.

Should one wish to keep a certain day of the week in honor of their salvation by GRACE, so be it. He/she is not to be discrimnated against concerning it.

The "shadow of things to come" indicates a prophetic issue that is [naturally] future such as the keeping of the Feast of Tabernacles as outlined in Zechariah 14:16-19. But as the saying goes, "we'll cross that bridge when we come to it."

Even so, come LORD Jesus.

Honour the sabbath, it is holy unto the Lord.

Do not buy/sell anything on the sabbath and do not carry out your own pleasures on that day.

I practice Sabbath rest not as a law but as a gift from God and believe me by the time I get to the end of a week I can see why it is important to have a day set aside for rest and worship.

I recently spoke with a woman who was buying a cow from me and needed it delivered. Her family however does not do business on 'The Lord's Day'... Sunday. It was the first time I'd ever really understood that many Christians have just transferred the principle of Sabbath to Sunday.

My grandfather (who was Methodist born and raised) refused to allow us to wash clothes on Sunday when I was a child. I always thought that was hilarious.
