It’s really sad that you can’t face the fact that Paul’s letter to that CHURCH was to correct their common first century mistake of trying to keep the old covenant law of Moses as Christians, to the point you are forced to claim things easily disproved, such as claiming that Galatians was to pagans.
HAHAHAHA you're kidding

I’m not the one insisting on keeping an ended ceremonial day of rest that was part of an ended covenant that Paul states brought bondage and slavery.

Your only fault here is <<an ended covenant>> that incessantly brings bondage and slavery like it did ever before—which like the Gospel to some is an odour of death, and to others an odour of life.

MARK WELL like in the age of Moses it was an ODOUR either of death or of Life it in these last days and age of Christ is an ODOUR either of Life or of death being neither death nor Life, but an ODOUR of either : to some.
Therefore: if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed YOURSELF. Galatians 5:15

LIE. Not even the word 'sabbath' occurs. The Commandment 'Thou shalt not LIE' though stands written ALL OVER for the Christian eye! You ought to be ashamed of yourself. The book of Galatians was written for all Law abiding CHRISTIANS, not Law mocking hypocrites -- for sooth, for Law mocking hypocrites indeed.
It was written to a church putting themselves under the law of Moses. The old covenant is GONE the Decalogue is called THE COVENANT ON TABLES OF STONE- therefore the ten ended, replaced by the superior two love commands.

See Barny Fyfe exposing your continued LYING.
See my reply to him where I prove that it calls the Decalogue the ministry of death.

It was easy - I actually used the Bible, and posted it.

2Co 3:6 who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

2Co 3:7 Now if the ministry of death, carved in letters on stone,
came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at Moses' face because of its glory, which was being brought to an end,

The ten commands, written in stone, given to Moses, is the ministry of death, the letter that kills, which Paul contrasts with the new covenant ministry of the SPIRIT which gives life.

The penalty under the law for breaking them, was death by stoning.

Peter called the law of Moses a yoke of bondage in Acts 15.

Paul call it bondage and slavery in Galatians 4

And the ministry of death that kills, replaced by the ministry of the spirit.

You obviously do not know that three days before God wrote the Ten Commandments with the Finger of God His Holy Spirit, the same Almighty SPOKE the Ten Commandments BY THE SON THE WORD OF GOD.
Moses says in Deuteronomy 5 where he gives the law, including the ten commands, that their father did not have that law.

Paul also wrote that the law was not given to Moses until 430:years after Abraham

Correct. Just not <<ministry>> but "ministration"; and not blatantly OMITTING "was glorious".
It wasn't Moses who spoke or wrote the Ten Commandments, it was God by the Son. Don't you forget it Mr. Holier than thou KnowAll.[/QUO
Ministry is a ministration. That’s why different versions say it both ways, therefore.

Which is totally irrelevant to the fact that Christians have died to the law of Moses, which was temporary until faith and Jesus came.

First the SPIRIT spoke from the mountain the Eternal New Covenant of Grace of the Eternal Almighty God; after three days the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY WROTE and SENT from the mountain his servant Moses with His, Written, WORD to God's People, "WHICH WAS GLORIOUS".
With what success crowned Jesus Christ his Gospel? With His Great Commisssion to his apostles, "WHICH WAS GLORIOUS".

"The ministration of death/sacrifices/Moses" pertaining Jesus' Suffering and Death, "was glorious", "how much the more would not the Ministration of the Spirit/Gospel/apostles" pertaining Jesus' Resurrection and Life, "be glorious as well"?
It’s crystal clear the old covenant and with it the Decalogue, has ended, being purposely a bondage and a yoke of slavery by having to keep all 613 parts of the law for righteousness, as opposed to righteousness by faith and repentance in the new covenant.

The first five Books of Moses are the books of the law, not the rest of the Old Testament.

The biggest mention of the law in the NT is all the scriptures that state that Christians have died to the law, which was only meant for the ungodly - not for the righteous - and that the law was only a schoolmaster in charge of us until faith and Jesus came, so now that faith has come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster, that the law was a yoke of burden, and the covenant from mount Sinai is slavery. and the Decalogue is the letter that kills, and the ministry of death, contrasted to the ministry of the spirit in the new covenant, that brings life.

It does also say the the two love commands fulfills all the law and the prophets.

I regret having to say this, but your whole post borders on blasphemy. Borders, because I believe done in ignorance and a lack of understanding of what the law actually is. But you do need to read over it again and consider all you have declared.

MARK WELL like in the age of Moses it was an ODOUR either of death or of Life it in these last days and age of Christ is an ODOUR either of Life or of death being neither death nor Life, but an ODOUR of either : to some.

The old covenant was deliberately faulty - it was meant to be harsh, and to be bondage, as the Israelites had to keep all 613 statutes, commands, and ordinances, which all had to be kept down to the least jot and tittle, as one body of law, and the law gave the death penalty by stoning for breaking the commandments, so as to illustrate the difficulty of earning righteousness by your own efforts, In contrast with the new covenant and being righteous by faith and repentance, without the works of the law of Moses.

Heb 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

Heb 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.

It wasn’t accidentally faulty, it had a reason for it - as outlined above.

Myself, I want the better covenant founded on better promises, that isn’t deliberately defective.

The first one had a “bad odor” it stank - on purpose.

Shalom Aleichem

KJV Exodus 20:1-2
1 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3. I am about to put you into even greater bondage by giving you My law.

I regret having to say this, but your whole post borders on blasphemy. Borders, because I believe done in ignorance and a lack of understanding of what the law actually is. But you do need to read over it again and consider all you have declared.

Except every quote is correctly in context and on the money.

The scriptures, call the ten commands THE COVENANT on two tables of stone, and the ark of the covenant contained the two tables of the covenant written in stone.

Deu 9:11 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, thatthe LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.


Thus scripture, clearly says the Decalogue is the covenant - and scripture clearly states the old covenant ended, and that the Two love commands now fulfills ALL the law and the prophets - so it’s undeniable that both the ten commands AND the law of Moses, have now ended (for Christians).

The faulty old covenant is gone:
Hebrews 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

Heb 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.


The two replace the ten:
Mat 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.


Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment.


Mat 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.


Mat 22:40 On these two commandments hang ALL THE LAW and the prophets.

Then in 2 Corinthians chapter three, we find that the Ten Commands are called : the ministration of DEATH, the letter which KILLS, and the ministration of CONDEMNATION, that has been done away - which is contrasted with the new covenant (testament) of the spirit, that gives LIFE.


2Co 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the NEW testament; not of the letter, but of the SPIRIT : for the letter KILLETH , but the spirit giveth life.

2Co 3:7 But if the ministration OF DEATH written and engraven in stones (The Ten Commandments) was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be DONE AWAY:

2Co 3:8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be more glorious?

2Co 3:9 For if the ministration of condemnation was glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

2Co 3:10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.

2Co 3:11 For if that which is DONE AWAY was glorious , much MORE that which remaineth is glorious.


The reason the Ten commands kills, brings death, and condemnation, is due to the fact that the penalty under the law for breaking any of the Ten, was being put to death by stoning.


The penalty for homicide - being put to death by stoning:

Exo 21:12 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.


The penalty for not honoring your mother and father: put to death by stoning:

Lev 20:9 For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put todeath: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall beupon him.


The penalty for adultery: put to death by stoning:

Lev 20:10 And the man that committeth adultery with anotherman's wife, even hethat committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.


The penalty for breaking the sabbath by doing any work, such as picking up sticks for kindling: put to death by stoning:

Exo 31:14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it isholy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth anywork therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

BTW sabbath keepers ignore the required penalty under the law of Moses for those breaking the sabbath day command, which is tp put them to death.
If the command is still in effect, the penalty is still in effect.


And the law of Moses is not meant for a righteous person, but for the ungodly, for sinners, for murderers, etc.: because it exists to show the unsaved what sin IS.


1Ti 1:9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a RIGHTEOUS man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for THE UNGODLY and for SINNERS , for UNHOLY and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,


1Ti 1:10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;


Christians are not ungodly anymore, but are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, thus we’ve died to the law.


Rom 7:4 Likewise, my brothers, you also have DIED TO THE LAW through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God.


Rom 7:5 For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, AROUSED BY THE LAW, were at work in our members to bear fruit for DEATH.


Rom 7:6 But now we are RELEASED from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the NEW way of the SPIRIT and not in the OLD way of the written code.


For Christians only, (not the ungodly) Jesus nailed the law of Moses to His cross and took it out of our way:


Eph 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;


Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;


And the law of Moses was temporary until Christ came:


Gal 3:19 Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made (Jesus Christ), and it was put in place through angels by an intermediary.


Gal 3:23 But BEFORE faith came, we were KEPT UNDER THE LAW, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.


Gal 3:24 Wherefore THE LAW was our SCHOOLMASTER to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.


Gal 3:25 But AFTER that faith is come, we are NO LONGER under a schoolmaster.


Christians have the fruit of the spirit, instead of the letter of the law, which is why for us THERE IS NO LAW, of Moses for us:


Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,


Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such THERE IS NO LAW.


Paul comes right out and says, he is not under the law of Moses, but IS under the law of Christ ( the law of love aka the two love commands).


1Co 9:19 For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.


1Co 9:20 To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though NOT being myself UNDER THE LAW) that I might win those under the law.


1Co 9:21 To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but UNDER the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law.

Christians are NOT under the law of Moses, but ARE under the law of Christ, aka the Law of love.

That’s just part of the truth about the ended covenant law and commands.
