Sometimes it takes a study into the original texts to arrive at the proper conclusion.
And usually it takes a really deep dive into the original languages to twist perfectly plain translated Scripture. Both the created-christ and the Sabbath-keepers do it.
2. The 1st tables of stone included: Commandments, judgements, the making of the tabernacle, and the Levitical priesthood with the
ordinances of sacrifice and service (Ex 24-31). They are summed up as the
law, and commandments to be placed in the ark:
WRONG - it contained the Ten Commandments alone. The reason you're so screwed up in your theology is because you're reading something other than the Bible.
Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written. (Ex 24:12)
Law and commandments.
3. The 2nd tables being placed in the ark contained:
Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest. (Ex 34)
Says right there He's going to write the Ten Commandments again on the tablets, but you keep insisting Moses wrote them. We call that "willful ignorance".
And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments. (Ex 34:27-28)
Moses wrote upon the tables. The words of the covenant included the law, and the 10 commandments (Ex 24:12). The 1st time God gave the 10 commandments in Ex 20, Moses wrote them in the book of the covenant, before ever they were written by God in stone, along with His judgements. (Ex 24:3-4)
You are blind as a bat with the vail of Sabbath keeping over your cave's entrance. You have no clue what you are talking about.
4. It is a lie to say
only the 10 Commandments were placed in the ark: they included the judgments and ordinances for the priesthood.
IT WAS NOT. It was placed OUTSIDE the Ark in the side of it, so that when people looked upon it, they could see it there witness to all just as a witness sits upon a Witness Stand and testifies against evildoers. IT IS ASININE TO CLAIM SOMETHING PLACED INSIDE THE ARK AND OUT OF SIGHT WAS A WITNESS AGAINST ANYONE.
The Lord commanded Moses:
And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel. (Ex 25:21)
And Moses commanded the Levites:
Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee. (Deut 31:26)
The book of the law placed in the ark, in the side thereof. Beside the tables of stone.
What is humanistically asinine is to think the people never heard nor knew what was written and placed therein. How could they know the tables of 'blessing' then? They were read many times over and over again in the hearing of the people, and the original copies were placed in the ark with the tables of stone. Even as the original Constitution is kept under lock and key, but any can hear and read for themselves.

That's funny. Paul mentions the pot of manna, Aaron's rod, and the tables of stone in the Ark, but NO MENTION of the Mosaic Law that Moses wrote in a book, right? BECAUSE THE BOOK MOSES WROTE WAS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE ARK SO THAT IT COULD BE A WITNESS AGAINST PEOPLE, NOT HIDDEN FROM SIGHT INSIDE THE ARK WHERE IT WOULD BE A WITNESS TO NO ONE.
Since we know God told Moses to place it in the ark, and Moses told the Levites to place it in the side of the ark, then we know it was in the ark, in the side. Paul did not mention it. Why? You figure it out. No need to? Papyrus not last as long as a golden pot, stone, and rod? doesn't really matter.

I showed you where GOD HIMSELF speaks of His law as separate and apart from the Law of Moses, but you refuse to beleive the truth. Only a fool will argue there is no difference between the two laws when it is clear that we are free to not keep Passover, but we will NEVER be free to break any of the Ten Commandments.
There is one law (Num 9). Not two.
The Passover was the first commanded ordinance
for ever (Ex 12), and the Levitical priesthood was
everlasting (Num 25). And they have changed. Only a fool would argue the 10 commandments are still all in effect, when the law of the commandments, and the coveant and Passover and priesthood are not. They were all called for ever and everlasting, and now they are not. Why not? They crucified the One Who gave it to them.
Only a bigger fool would think a sabbath-keeping law is more important than the death of Christ on the cross, and the Passover that foreshadowed His sacrifice.

Sabbath keeping is a sign of God's obedient followers,
Sabbath keeping is a proof of commandments of men.
You know full well you are not at liberty to break any of the other nine commandments
Here are the commandments in the loaw of Christ, the royal law of the Spirit:
1. Love the Lord thy God (1 Cor 16) 2. Love thy neighbor as thyself (James 2) 3. honor thy mother and father (Eph 6) 4. No idols (1 John 5) 5. Not kill (Rom 13) 6. Not steal (Rom 13) 7. No false witness (Rom 13) 8. No adultery (James 2)
I read 8.
Honoring mother and father was the
1st commandment with promise (Eph 6:2), not Sabbath keeping, which only carried cursing if not carnally kept under law of Moses, and now has no curse, because is not law of Christ.
When I heard the truth, I chose to follow God and obey ALL of His commandments. You chose to ignore them and make breaking them your boast...
When you were proselytized, you fell in line, and are now two-fold more child of hell than they, with ignorance and blindness to anything else. I choose not to be proselytized, and you are jealous of my liberty, even as the Jews of old, whom you emulate.
I don't boast of anything, especially not 'breaking' a commandment that no longer is law of God. I suppose I could boast somewhat in rejecting your childish proselytizing efforts.
now, which of us is more in line with what Satan does
Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. (1 Tim 1)
But there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ...I would they were even cut off which trouble you. (Gal 1,5)
Whether circumcisers or sabbath demanders, you are all the same, and you separate yourself from the body of Christ by it:
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. (I John 2)
