The Sabbath Day
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” — Exodus 20:8
“One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.” — Romans 14:5
Two different covenants. 

The Permanence of Earth
“… the earth abideth for ever.” — Ecclesiastes 1:4
“… the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” — 2Peter 3:10
The elements speak of the elements of the Old Covenant. Their world and worldview were burnt up with the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. 

Seeing God
“… I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.” — Genesis 32:30
“No man hath seen God at any time…”– John 1:18
Are you understanding this solely in a physical way? God manifested Himself (His Spirit) and became incarnate in the form of the Son. He also manifested Himself in the OT in the form of an angel. In the physical sense, seeing Jesus was seeing God, via His character and nature. Seeing, besides physical sight, can also mean mental understanding or spiritual understanding. You can see God apart from a physical way (actual sight) since you can't see Spirit. The eyes of your understanding being one of those. Jesus said that you must be born again spiritually to see God.

IMO, your understanding of theology sucks.

Thanks! No, my wife died. She had been battling COPD for about fifteen years.

I'm so sorry to hear that, man, that's really rough. Hang in there, I know words like that sound trite at times like this. I know you find comfort in your faith, sincerely, I hope it helps.
