Of course it is true. You are talking about talmud, not The Bible. Those oppressive rules were part of pharasitical manmade rules, not God's. The Bible Sabbath never changed. Jesus, The Apostles, and the first century christians all kept the seventh day Sabbath. I spent most of my life believing the same thing you do now, then i studied it for myself and found out "God Never Changes." Thanks for stopping by and God Bless. I pray you find the Peace and joy of the Sabbath.
