Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me you evildoers!’
God's will is that we keep His commands.

Where’s the scripture that says God told Adam to keep the Sabbath?

If you want to keep the Sabbath, go for it. But unless you’re trying to be a Jew, it’s not necessary.

We are to keep the same laws.

This is what God has spoken through His prophets.


Genesis 17:3

Abram fell facedown, and God said to him, 4. "As for me, this is my covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations. 5. No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations. 6. I will make you very fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you. 7. I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.

Esther 8:17
In every province and in every city, wherever the edict of the king went, there was joy and gladness among the Jews, with feasting and celebrating. And many people of other nationalities became Jews because fear of the Jews had seized them.

The Parable of the Tenants

Luke 20
9. He went on to tell the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard, rented it to some farmers and went away for a long time. 10. At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants so they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 11. He sent another servant, but that one also they beat and treated shamefully and sent away empty-handed. 12. He sent still a third, and they wounded him and threw him out.
13. "Then the owner of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my son, whom I love; perhaps they will respect him.' 14. "But when the tenants saw him, they talked the matter over. 'This is the heir,' they said. 'Let's kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.' 15. So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. "What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them? 16. He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others." When the people heard this, they said, "May this never be!" 17. Jesus looked directly at them and asked, "Then what is the meaning of that which is written:
" 'The stone the builders rejected
has become the capstone? 18. Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and he on whom it falls will be crushed."
19. The teachers of the law and the chief priests looked for a way to arrest him immediately, because they knew he had spoken this parable against them. But they were afraid of the people.
Acts 3:25
And you are heirs of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, 'Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.'
Romans 2:28
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29. But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Romans 3:29
Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,
Romans 4:13

It was not through law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. 14. For if those who live by law are heirs, faith has no value and the promise is worthless, 15. because law brings wrath. And where there is no law there is no transgression.
16. Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham's offspring—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all. 17. As it is written: "I have made you a father of many nations." He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were.
Romans 4:18
Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be."

Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
Romans 9:6
It is not as though God's word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel. 7. Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham's children. On the contrary, "It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned." 8. In other words, it is not the natural children who are God's children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham's offspring.
Romans 9:24
even us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?
Romans 10:12
For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him,...
Romans 10:19
Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says, "I will make you envious by those who are not a nation;...
1 Corinthians 14:21
In the Law it is written: "Through men of strange tongues and through the lips of foreigners I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to me," says the Lord.
Ephesians 2:12
remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.
Ephesians 2:19
Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household,...
Ephesians 3:6
This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:29
If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed
, and heirs according to the promise.
Colossians 3:11
Here there is no Greek or Jew
, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.

so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.
Revelation 2:9
I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich! I know the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 3:9
I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.
Isaiah 65:15
You will leave your name to my chosen ones as a curse;
the Sovereign LORD will put you to death, but to his servants he will give another name.
Acts 11:26
and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called [Christians / Messianics] first at Antioch.
 
We are to keep the same laws.
Rom 3:
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

Rom 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

Gal 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

You don't understand Christianity, CR.
 
Converts to Christ were called Christians by other people. Before then, people were called converts to Judaism.

Judaize
Darby translation.
Gal 2;14.
But when I saw that they do not walk straightforwardly, according to the truth of the glad tidings, I said to Peter before all, If *thou*, being a Jew, livest as the nations and not as the Jews, how dost thou compel the nations to Judaize?

Or: How will you compel the nations to Judaize?
 
Rom 3:
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
Nonsense

Rom 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
Christ is the FULFILLMENT of the law...
Gal 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
We are free of the old priesthood and its Festivals. We are not free of Gods commandments.

Christians are not "converts to Judaism." They are Christians, declared righteous before God by faith in Jesus Christ.

Paul was reproving Peter for being a hypocrite.

Gal 2:13 ESV And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy.

Gal 2:14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

Peter was trying to get the Christian gentiles to live as Jews. He was being a hypocrite.

Gal 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

Christians are not "converts to Judaism." They are Christians, declared righteous before God by faith in Jesus Christ.
But they were converts to the Israelite religion before Judaism still existed.

Paul was reproving Peter for being a hypocrite.
Actually, Peter didn't know not to circumcise. The word hypocrite is not a good translation, though the condemnation is just.

Peter did this because thought he was helping the gentiles. Peter later goes to Babylon for some reason.
 
Peter did this because thought he was helping the gentiles.
No he didn't.

Gal 1:12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.

Where’s the scripture that says God told Adam to keep the Sabbath?
Why are you so dumb? What did God do at the seventh day of creation? Working or resting?
If you want to keep the Sabbath, go for it. But unless you’re trying to be a Jew, it’s not necessary.
We are spiritual Jew!! We are the seed of Jesus Christ. We are this people: Revelation 12:17 and Revelation 14:12.

Well, most conventional 'christians' of course worship 'God' on their pagan sun-day, as their 'sabbath'......who really cares what DAY you honor as a sabbath, as long as one day is set aside for it? Of course its a loaded package with many different angles and reasons for it, but that will vary per one's own definition, assumption or criteria.

I kinda like SUN-day having a neo-pagan streak myself :giggle:, just the natural rebel in me....and no doubt that the SUN is a symbol or representative of 'God' anyways,.......and even 'Christ' is the 'sun/son' of 'God'. 'God' is Light. 'God' is symbolized as The Great Central Sun of the cosmos, the Divine Center and Source of all life. 'God' is pure source-energy, and MORE.

I dont limit 'God' to a Jewish sabbath, but one can study the reasons that particular cult honors the Sabbath to find any meaning or value, just like all religious or philosophical subjects. It all comes to choice as well, as free will is honored by 'God'. Each soul must follow his own divine guidance and be happy or saddened thereby. I dont hold a dogmatic position on the 'Sabbath' at this time, but some interesting perspectives and more to study. A day of rest, worship and meditation is good for all, in recognizing the Infinite Creator and enjoying the Creation, and in this way you can honor The Creator and all gestures of creativity, since we are co-creators in life as well, being God's offspring. All there is besides the Creator is CREATION. - so....every moment of genuflection, worship and meditation in the Spirit of 'God' is honoring The Creator AND the Creation which is also a reflection of 'God'. We can only recognize a Creator within a Creation, so all is one great universal and ever evolving Creator/Creation, which in infinity and eternity is without end.
