You must not be comprehending that scripture then. Read the chapter, it should come to you. Its talking about the customs held by both Jews and Gentiles, and which to follow. This includes Sabbath and eating habits. The Jews lived under the law, gentiles didn't. Did the gentiles have to start? No, a new covenant was created when Jesus died on the cross, therfore creating a set of standards established by Him. The jews held sabbath and Jesus wanted them to continue to do so. Sabbath means nothing to a gentile, so what day is to be held holy for them? Get where I'm going? I can't see how it gets any more clear.

Your statement couldnt be more incorrect and void of fact.
ALL Christians, jew and gentile, kept the seventh day sabbath....that was NEVER even the issue. Nor was it ever debated. Jesus kept the seventh day sabbath, the diciples kept it, the entire Christian church observed it. All Christians kept the seventh day sabbath until the 3rd century...and many continued even then after paganism entered the church defying the sunday "tradition" and catholic dogma. Many were killed for it during the middle ages...among other things.

The law the Jews lived "under" (and still live under)was the handwriting of ordinances, the laws pertaining to eating, drinking, handwashing, sacrifices and ceremonial sabbaths which fall on all different days, not just the seventh. You show your ingorance of history and this specific part of Scripture to suggest otherwise. Thats not intended to be a personal attack upon you but a statement of reality. Perhaps you only reguritate that which you have been taught as well....whatever, nothing personal intended.

Fact - what was being addressed here were Christian jewish converts who were still keeping the ceremonial sabbaths, days and other rituals which Christians teach are no longer valid as the Messiah has already come in the form of Jesus Christ. The coming of Jesus Christ is forshadowed by those very rituals and was the ONLY purpose for them. Continuing in them is pointless as their purpose has already been fulfilled. The Sabbath or Rest was instituted at Creation for mankind according to Christ and is a memorial of it as well as part Gods Eternal Law...at least accoding to Scripture. This is not my "conviction" but a Biblical fact all should consider.
Most learned men I have debated with aknowlege what I have stated here to be true. They use other "rationalizations" for an excuse.
