Isaiah Chapter 56 was brought up, why it is deemed relevant I cannot grasp. Unless one is trying to present it as a "demand" upon the New Testament Covenant, which it clearly is not. Isaiah 56:6-8, "Thus says the Lord; "Keep justice, and do righteousness, for My salvation is about to come, and My righteousness to be revealed. Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold on it; who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, and keeps his hand from doing any evil." Do not let the SON OF THE FOREIGNER WHO HAS JOINED HIMSELF TO THE LORD (In the Old Covenant) speak, saying, "The LORD has utterly separated me from His people"; nor let the eunuch say, "Here I am, a dry tree." For thus says the LORD: "To the eunuchs who keep MY Sabbaths( plural), and CHOOSE what pleases Me, and hold fast My covenant (OLD), even to them will I give in My house and within My walls a place and a name better than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off. Also THE SONS OF THE FOREIGNER WHO JOIN THEMSELVES TO THE LORD, TO SERVE HIM, AND TO LOVE THE NAME OF THE LORD, TO BE HIS SERVANTS (in the Hebrew faith)--everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, and holds fast My Covenant (OLD)--even them I will bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer. THEIR BURNT OFFERINGS AND THEIR SACRIFICES WILL BE ACCEPTED ON MY ALTER; for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations." The Lord GOD, who gathers the outcasts of Israel says, "Yet I will gather to him others besides those who are gathered to him."

If anyone is drawing upon these passages to conclude that the Saturday or Sabbath observed under the Old Law is to be carried over into the New Testament, I wonder why they also do not conclude that BURNT OFFERINGS and BLOOD SACRIFICES be observed as this passages of scriptures also suggests? The truth of these passages are as follows>>>>

The covenant brought to Israel by Moses allowed people from other nations to enter into the covenant. For instance it is mentioned, "And in every province and city, wherever the kings's commands and decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a holiday. Then MANY OF THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND BECAME JEWS, because fear of the Jews fell upon them (Esther 8:17). These are people who are called proselytes in the New Testament. They had partial rights under the law. For instance, they were not allowed to serve in the tabernacle or temple. Levites "shall be joined with you and attend to the needs of the tabernacle of meeting, for all the work of the tabernacle; but an outsider shall not come near you" (Numbers 18:4). They could keep the Passover, but only if they followed the same rules as the Israelites. "And if a stranger dwells among you, and would keep the LORD's Passover, he must do so according to the rite of the Passover, he must do so according to its ceremony; you shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger and the native of the land" (Numbers 9:14). That meant that the foreign born had to enter into the covenant first. "And when a stranger dwells with you and wants to keep the Passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised, (again is this practice carried over in the NT?) and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as a native of the land. For no uncircumcised person shall eat it. One law be for the native-born and for the stranger who dwells among you" (Exodus 12:48-49).

This passage does not prove that God wanted all people to observe the Sabbath. Nor does it prove that the Sabbath was and ordinance carried over into the NEW TESTAMENT COVENANT OF CHRIST. Ralph
