Mar 15, 2023 at 15:47 comment added Thales I'm a gentile dear msj121 so I'm questioning about this because the explanations I've always heard led me to this doubt
Mar 15, 2023 at 15:41 comment added msj121 @Thales with my limited understanding I don't think someone can accidentally keep the sabbath as a non-Jew and be liable, no. Holidays instituted would need to be similar to the Sabbath to be in contradiction to penalty. I can't imagine non-Jewish holidays being a good idea if you believe in Judaism but they don't rest like we do...
Mar 15, 2023 at 15:30 comment added Thales This thing of complying or not is more about conscience, isn't it? Like even if a person doesn't do anything in a day, not knowing anything about the reality of a Jewish Sabbath, he is not wrong since he didn't do it to identify himself as a Jew. Now the question is really about instituting holidays, do holidays as they are in the world hurt any principle of not keeping the Sabbath?
