I'm just curious. Are you a Jew?
Do you believe that all Gentile believers should keep the "Ten Commandments" which were given specificly to the nation of Israel? Ex.20"
Particularly, do you believe it is God's intention for all Christians to keep the 7th day sabbath?
It was given to Israel forever as a sign between them and God. (Ex.31:13-17) If Gentiles kept the sabbath how could it be a "sign" for Israel?? (i.e. Stop signs have their purpose in specific locations such as busy intersections. But if everyone erected a stop sign at the end of their driveways, soon all stop signs would be ignored, even the ones at the intersections!)
Do you keep all the scriptural regulations of the sabbath?
I am convinced that God gave three physical practices that are to be observed by Israelites forever to clearly distinguish them from other nations: (1)Circumcision, Gen.17, (2)The Passover Ex.12 and (3) The seventh day sabbath. Ex.31.
So too God has given Christians 3 physical practices that are to mark them out as God's new covenant people: (1)Baptism in water Matt.28:18-20, (2)The Lord's Supper Luke 22:19,20 and (3) The demonstration of Christ's headship by men uncovering their heads and women covering theirs while praying and prophesying and by men keeping their hair from growing long and women allowing theirs to grow long. I Cor.11:1-16
Each of these three practices has two parts:
(1)Baptism demonstrates that we are the DEAD and the LIVING by immersion in and emergence from water.
(2)The Lord's Supper reminds us of the work of Christ at Calvary by partaking of the BREAD and the CUP.
(3)Just as God has crowned the Lord Jesus with glory and honour, so too what I do with my HEAD and my HAIR ought to bring glory and honour to Christ my Head.

David...
I am a follower and supporter of not only the 10 commandments of Ex20 but
also the other 593 found throughout the Torah [that apply to me as a married
man with children who works]. According to Scripture, these should be
written on our hearts if we are seeking YHVH with all our hearts. That is
the way to save the TEN.
