Brandon, I will yield to you on this point. "Obey" is not the clearest word to use. I was attempting to put into my own words the following verse. I should just let the Scriptures speak for themselves.

Quote:
Romans 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
Yes, the sabbath was part of the covenant with Israel, but the principle predates Israel. I still do believe that God has designed our bodies so that a day of rest is needed each week. [At least I sure need it!] It is no accident that we still have a seven-day week today. I would quote a verse from Mark (2:27), but based on some folks here, it doesn't apply to me today.
