There is much debate today as to whether the Sabbath is valid today -----
Question
Was the Sabbath a Moral law as well as being symbolic ?
I say ------Many believe the Sabbath was done away with when Jesus was crucified ---and use scripture to back this up -----

read the chapter here ---I quoted Just these verses

Colossians 2 (EXB)
Don’t Follow People’s Rules
16 So do not let anyone ·make rules for [or criticize; judge; or condemn] you about eating and drinking or about a religious ·feast [festival], a New Moon Festival [2 Kin. 4:23; Neh. 10:33], or a Sabbath day [C religious observances that false teachers pressured the Colossians to keep].
17 These things ·were like [L are] a shadow of what was to come. But ·what is true and real has come and is found in Christ [or the reality/substance belongs to Christ; L the body (is) of Christ].
18 Do not let anyone disqualify you by ·insisting on [or delighting in] self-denial [asceticism; or false humility] and worship of angels. Such people ·enter into [or talk endlessly about; or pin their hopes on] visions, which ·fill them [puff them up] with ·foolish pride [or empty notions] because of their ·human way of thinking [unspiritual/worldly/carnal minds; L mind of the flesh].
19 They ·do not hold tightly [or have no connection] to the head [C Christ]. It is from him that all the parts of the body are ·cared for [supported] and held together through its joints and ligaments. So it grows in the way God ·wants [or causes] it to grow.
Question
What are your views on your understanding of the Sabbath after the Cross ?------
I say ------For me the Sabbath is symbolic and my rest comes by believing ---trusting in and relying on the Living Word ---which for me is Jesus Christ ---Resting in Christ and what He accomplished on the Cross is my Sabbath ------
