If you truly seek the Sabbath, try studying the scriptures. Search Sabbath and read all verses, both alone and in context.
Ask for the instruction and guidance of the Holy Spirit.
When He responds, test his instructions. Not as a scoffed, but as a willing seeker. (Ex: children push the boundaries to learn, grow, and discover).
You claim to honor the Sabbath on Sunday, but the spirit warns you, but it is easier to follow tradition and rationalize, than to take up the cross (another good devotional scripture study).
Test it. Find a Sabbath keeping church and try it out for one month. That warning voice will cease, and your relationship with God will strengthen. Caution: your church, your family, your friends, will be the ones who begin to show there true colors.
Since the beginning (Eden), God has asked us to worship Him His way; we have chosen to worship Him our way.
The scriptures tell us very clearly. Jesus is the only way. Become disciples, don't drink babes milk forever. Grow, learn, test, prove all things, watch, prepare.
2 final devotional study suggestions (false prophets, horns). Seek and the Holy Spirit will teach. Ask, and it will be given. God's ways are not man's ways.
Prayers for you and may God grant you His blessings on your journey!
I counted about (45) in my Strongs Exhaustive Concordance of The Bible : it means
Aroma; pleasing & acceptable:fragrance (sacrifices acceptable to God)
The Jews kept the Sabbath and still do. But we worship on the Lords day, which is Sunday. Jesus rose from the dead on a Sunday, which is why Christians worship him on Sunday. Of course, we should worship him every day.
Numbers 15v38 teaches that the children of Israel ought to dress spiritually and not just physical, one must take the word of GOD Spiritually at all times. Spiritually speaking, Christians must always put fringe of the border a ribband of blue on their Christian life as well as on their physical life the precept and concept to this book is Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18 and 23-5. GOD Bless You.
God wants people to live A holy life if they don't they will not make heaven. We are going to be judged by the 66 books of the Bible. If you take part of the world you will not make heaven. Most Churches do not preach holiness any more and tell people it is ok to go to movies , sporting events, and dance clubs and bars and it is not ok. It is part of the world and we are suppose to live holy
"Work in progress", I think that the Bible is clear that sins that are accidental will be forgiven but sins that you plan to do and will not repent from deserves death.
30 But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
- Numbers 15:30 KJV
God rested on the 7th day and the 8th day he made it the first of the week. So Saturday is Sabbath Day. I also read that it starts Friday night at sunset till Saturday at sunset. Someone else can let me know if this is incorrect.
Judy, good questions! The seventh day is "Shabbat;" which is the original Hebrew word for our English word sabbath. It comes from the root Shin-Beit-Tav and means to cease, to end, to rest. When the Emperor Constantine "became a Christian," he held to his worship of the Sun-god; (which is where the name Sunday comes from); and decreed that on Sun-day, all citizens must come together for Church.
Sabbath law is confusing. Is it Saturday or Sunday? When God created the world in 6 days and rested on the 7th day, He said to keep the Sabbath holy, to rest on the Sabbath. The days of the week didn't have names then. Was a day then 24 hours? When did God say Saturday was Sabbath. He said the 7th day. What calendar did God use when he made the world? I don't want to sin, I keep Sunday as Sabbath.
There is a tremendous emphasis on obedience seen throughout this chapter and prior ones. The preacher Andrew Murray wrote a book called, The Blessing of Obedience" I have just started the first chapter.
Even as by one man's disobedience sin was brought in....by another man's obedience we can be saved from sin and hell.

I myself brought me the fringes, and blue ribbon to wear on my border garment for in remembe of the commandent and not to seek after my own heart and mind. Shalom
Today's word to me is about keeping GOD'S commandments,he has given me rules to follow in my life. If I should fail or fall. He gives me the rememberance of his promise. He bought me out of Egypt and saved me so long ago. That I got lost and now I'm back in that dark place that he saved me from, all I can say is please forgiven me for I'm a sinner. I do LOVE U with all my HEART JESUS.
I thank my ''LORD,GOD'' this morning for brand new mercy that ''HE'' continually show toward me, even though I am undeserving, ''HE'' yet pour out ''HIS'' mercy upon me, so I continually offer up my whole self unto the ''LORD'' each and every morning as all manner of offering that I may keep ''HIS'' commandments in this as I am commanded. Again I say thank you ''SIR''
