No I don't believe it is for the New Covenant Gentiles.

The question is 'do you keep the (weekly) sabbath', with various options - 7th day, sunday, a lunar sabbath, a solar sabbath, some 'other' weekly sabbath not specified, or none at all. Thus, if a person does not set aside one day in seven as particularly holy to God, but considers all days the same (ie 'everyday is the sabbath' or 'no day is the sabbath' they should answer 'no'.

As to the particular manner in which a person 'keeps' a day as the sabbath that was not in the original question, only IF a person keeps any particular day as a sabbath, or none at all.

What do you define as "keeping the sabbath"? For instance, I don't work on my business on Sunday.

I mean do you, in any way, set apart 1 day in seven (by whatever calculation - 7th day, sunday, a lunar sabbath, a solar sabbath, or some other sabbath calculating method) to God? HOW a person actually 'keeps' that day (what they do on that day, or do not do on that day) is not in view, just IF they 'keep a day' or not.

If you don't work your business on Sunday BECAUSE you wish to set apart the day to God, to honour him, that would be a 'keeping' of Sunday as the sabbath, would it not?

I am just trying to find out WHEN people keep sabbath, or IF they do, not necessarily HOW they do it (as far as the mechanics of how they observe their particular day).

Somebody chose 'other'. Can you explain what you mean? (I am not familiar with any method of identifying a weekly sabbath besides the 7th day, sunday, a lunar sabbath, or a solar sabbath.)

Alright, I don't work my business on Sunday because I think it's smart to set aside one day of rest.
