I regularly read from New Living Translation, but for study I prefer the Septuagint and a KJV.

The Septuagint is easily 800 years older than the Masoretic text. I think the KJV is great for the NT for for the OT there are some pretty stark differences.

Do you keep the Sabbath day?

Yes.

I understand about the pork and unclean etc. but there are degrees of sin and these two wouldn't be on the same level.

They are both described as an abomination. Strictly interpreted, there is no reason to consider one worse than the other. There are recorded instance of people giving thir lives to avoid eating unclean things. Isaiah 66 refers to eating unclean things being something that brings instant judgement on the day of the Lord.

You keep the Sabbath like the Jews did?

>Strictly interpreted, there is no reason to consider one worse than the other.

That's not correct, and I explained why.

No, I just rest from work. We will cook, sometimes sweep the floor if it gets messy, do dishes, and of course caring for goats, baby goats, ducks, chickens, geese, and seven children.

We can disagree on the other thing. The NT is pretty clear that we should not let food or drink get in the way of brotherhood.

I know my view is extreme, but I do know a couple people in real life that agree with me.

We can disagree, but you're going against all the Reformers and Puritans, no group of people were so enlightened.

I do agree with you actually, about avoiding pork and other unclean meat, a couple books I read years ago helped me understand, some foods are not at all good for you.

It's just practical and healthy.
