No, I am serious! Where else in the OT is the Sabbath teaching given as a "holy convocation" by itself, and not included with a feast day? Nowhere. It is only mentioned once here in Leviticus as a holy convocation, along with teaching with the feast days. It was outlining how to keep the Sabbath when it fell on a particular feast day.
So again, Sabbath was not given as a day of fellowship, but of rest, unless the Sabbath fell on a feast day. |
It doesn't say it is a holy convocation "only if it falls on a feast day". That is your words, not God's. In other words you are making that up. The scripture does not say what you are claiming.
In fact the sabbath is specifically called a feast. It is one of the feasts, just like passover, pentecost, tabernacles etc are. They are the feasts of the Lord (sabbath is listed as one of them). So I have no idea where you are getting your ideas from. It just doesn't say what you claim it says, it doesn't even imply it. Nothing whatsoever about "if a sabbath falls on a feast". It says the sabbath is a holy convocation (sacred assembly). Can't have a convocation or assembly without assemblying...
