Ten Reasons why the Sabbath is not Jewish 1) Adam and Eve were not Jewish. God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it (Genesis 2:3) 2) The Sabbath was made for man. Mark 2:27. Jesus said this. It was made in the Garden of Eden before it was written down on Mount Sinai. The Sabbath was made for man, not just Jews. 3) The other nine commandments are not just for Jews. God wrote Ten Commandments on stone, not just nine 4) The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. Exodus 20:10. God calls the Sabbath, my holy day. Isaiah 58:13. The Bible never calls it the Sabbath of the Jews. It isnt their Sabbath, but Gods. 5) The Sabbath commandment is for the stranger too. The fourth commandment itself says the stranger is to rest on the Sabbath. Exodus 20:10. Strangers are non-Jews, or Gentiles. Thus the Sabbath applies to them too. Read also Isaiah 56:6. 6) Isaiah said Gentiles should keep the Sabbath. Also the sons of the stranger ... every one that keeps the Sabbath ... for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people. Isaiah 56:6, 7. Thus the Sabbath is for Gentiles and all people, not just for Jews. 7) All mankind will keep the Sabbath in the New Earth. In the new earth ... from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, says the Lord. Isaiah 66:22, 23. Here God says that all flesh we will be keeping the Sabbath in the new earth. If this is the case - and it is - shouldnt we start now? 8) Gentiles kept the Sabbath in the Book of Acts. The Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath ... Paul and Barnabas ... persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. Acts 13:42, 43. Here saved-by-grace Gentiles kept the Sabbath (see also verse 44). 9) The law [of Ten Commandments] is for all the world, not just for Jews. Paul wrote these words. Read Romans 2:17-23; 3:19, 23. 10) Luke was a Gentile who kept the Sabbath. Luke was the only Gentile who wrote any New Testament books (he wrote The Gospel According to St. Luke and The Acts of the Apostles). Luke traveled with Paul and wrote, On the Sabbath we went out of the city by a river side. Acts 16:13. It was the seventh-day Sabbath, the memorial of the creation (see Ex. 20:11). Both Luke and Paul knew it
