Where in scripture, if there is anything, stating that we don't need to honor the sabbath anymore?
I haven't met anyone besides old school jews that acutally follow the commandment..why is this?
How can you keep saying that "its a jewish thing" and etc... its in the 10 commandments people..was that meant for jews only? wow.....

When christains said that god didnt know what it was doing when god made Sat the Sabbath day. Christians can change gods works and words all they want, but in the end they will find they will not get away with anything.

we do not have to keep the sabbath day it was for israel only

Exodus 31:16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
Exodus 31:17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

we are justified by faith in god with out the law

Rom 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

Written by ST.Ignatius a disciple of ST.John the Apostle to the magnesians 107AD.

Chapter 9. Let us live with Christ
If, therefore, those who were brought up in the ancient order of things have come to the possession of a new hope, no longer observing the Sabbath, but living in the observance of the Lord's Day, on which also our life has sprung up again by Him and by His death— whom some deny, by which mystery we have obtained faith, and therefore endure, that we may be found the disciples of Jesus Christ, our only Master— how shall we be able to live apart from Him, whose disciples the prophets themselves in the Spirit did wait for Him as their Teacher? And therefore He whom they rightly waited for, having come, raised them from the dead. Matthew 27:52

Chapter 10. Beware of Judaizing
Let us not, therefore, be insensible to His kindness. For were He to reward us according to our works, we should cease to be. Therefore, having become His disciples, let us learn to live according to the principles of Christianity. For whosoever is called by any other name besides this, is not of God. Lay aside, therefore, the evil, the old, the sour leaven, and be changed into the new leaven, which is Jesus Christ. Be salted in Him, lest any one among you should be corrupted, since by your savour you shall be convicted. It is absurd to profess Christ Jesus, and to Judaize. For Christianity did not embrace Judaism, but Judaism Christianity, that so every tongue which believes might be gathered together to God.

The Sabbath, which runs from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday, is a JEWISH day of worship/rest. It was not made for Gentiles. I'm a Gentile. First century Christians decided to hold their worship on Sunday, in commemoration of the resurrection of Christ Jesus.

Are Christians under obligation to keep a weekly sabbath day?
Ex. 31:16,*17: “The sons of Israel must keep the sabbath, so as to carry out the sabbath during their generations. It is a covenant to time indefinite [“a perpetual covenant,” RS]. Between me and the sons of Israel it is a sign to time indefinite.” (Notice that sabbath observance was a sign between Jehovah and Israel; this would not be the case if everyone else were also obligated to keep the Sabbath. The Hebrew word rendered “perpetual” in RS is 'oh·lam?, which basically means a period of time that, from the standpoint of the present, is indefinite or hidden from sight but of long duration. That can mean forever, but not necessarily so. At Numbers 25:13 the same Hebrew word is applied to the priesthood, which later ended, according to Hebrews 7:12.)
Rom. 10:4: “Christ is the end of the Law, so that everyone exercising faith may have righteousness.” (Sabbath keeping was a part of that Law. God used Christ to bring that Law to its end. Our having a righteous standing with God depends on faith in Christ, not on keeping a weekly sabbath.) (Also Galatians 4:9-11; Ephesians 2:13-16)
Col. 2:13-16: “[God] kindly forgave us all our trespasses and blotted out the handwritten document against us, which consisted of decrees and which was in opposition to us .*.*. Therefore let no man judge you in eating and drinking or in respect of a festival or of an observance of the new moon or of a sabbath.” (If a person was under the Mosaic Law and was judged guilty of profaning the Sabbath, he was to be stoned to death by the whole congregation, according to Exodus 31:14 and Numbers 15:32-35. Many who argue for sabbath keeping have reason to be glad that we are not under that Law. As shown in the scripture here quoted, an approved standing with God no longer requires observance of the sabbath requirement given to Israel.)
Good day!

I think you are on to something.

Ezekiel 20:12
Moreover, I gave them my Sabbaths, as a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD who sanctifies them.

Why is the one that says, "Remember.." the only one most have forgotten?

The sabbath day is a sign of people who wish to obey God. People have a choice, they can either spend time with God and rest, or they can choose to ignore gods voice, it is a sign of people who want to obey. And I guess most christians don't because they would do what god said if they were true christians.
