KEEPING THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT Matt 22:36 Teacher, what is the greatest commandment in the Law? Yahshua said to him: You must love Yahweh your Father with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might... (also see Deut. 6:5) ...And you must love Yahweh your Father with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. 1Joh 5:3 For this is the love of Yahweh: That we keep His Law, and His Law is not grievous. WHAT COMMANDMENTS HAS YAHWEH GIVEN THAT SPECIFICALLY RELATE TO WORSHIPPING HIM? 1.) WEEKLY Exod 31:16 Therefore the children of Israyl shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between Me and the children of Israyl forever, for in six days Yahweh made the heavens and the earth, and on the Seventh Day He rested and was refreshed. [Keeping the Sabbath is a sign between Yahweh and the believer, including those grafted into Israel. 2.) DURING THE YEAR Exod 23:14 Three times in the year shall you keep a Feast to Me: You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. You shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the Moon of Green Ears of Barley; Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt; and none shall appear before Me empty; And keep the Feast of Harvest with the firstfruits of the crops you sow in your field; and the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in your crops from the field. Three times in the year all your a males shall appear in front of Yahweh. IN GENERAL, NEITHER CHRISTIANITY NOR JUDAISM KEEP ALL OF NO.1 AND NO.2 ABOVE. Deut 12:29 When Yahweh your Father cuts off the nations from in front of you, and you displace them and live in their land, Be careful not to be ensnared into following them by asking about their gods (elohim), saying: How did these nations serve their gods (elohim)? I also will do the same. You must not worship Yahweh your Father in their way, for every abomination to Yahweh, which He hates, they have done to their gods (elohim). They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods (elohim). Whatsoever I command you, be careful to observe and do it, you shall not add to it, nor take away from it. This means keep his commandments as he instructed: DO NOT DIMINISH - Sabbaths, Holy Day Festivals, Dietary Laws, Honoring of His Name. DO NOT ADD THERETO - Easter, Christmas, and other non-biblical holidays. Non-biblical kosher and Sabbath regulations.
