I am new here. Although I am not of Hebrew Roots, I am a 7th day (Saturday) Sabbath-keeping believer. Why? Because honoring the 7th day is one of the 10 Commandments. If as a gentile Christian I am not required to honor the 7th day, what other Commandments am I excused from? Although it is not my right or privilege to "force" this on others, my thought is that I should endeavor - by God's grace - to keep all 10 Commandments. If not honoring all 10, why bother honoring any of them at all?
As I read the Old Testament, I see just about everyone breaking almost every commandment almost constantly. But you know what stands out to me as the BIG sins that God punished quite severely, it was idolatry and breaking the Sabbath. Could there be a message here?
The 4th Commandment is the only one that starts with the word "remember". Could that mean the Sabbath was in force prior to the giving of the 10? You can only remember that which has already occurred.
