Wow! You must be feeling militant today... View attachment 39067
The difference is... the Holy Spirit leads Christians to honor parents, to not take the LORD's name in vain, and to not bare false witness as these commandments can be found in the New Testament.
Curiously though... keeping Saturday sabbath can NOT be found as a command in the New Testament. It's the only command out of the original 10 commandments cannot cannot be found in the New Testament as a commandments.
Galatians 4:9-11
But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? 10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. 11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain
Anyone who goes back under the law after being saved, has fallen from saving grace (Galatians 5:4). The book of Galatians could not be a more severe warning. Paul says he wishes these diabolical Judaizers were “cut off” (Galatians 5:12).

Doubling down is easier than actually responding to the challenge
No, you really don't. Unless your ignoring this:
For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
The challenge to now live under the New Covenant?
No thank you.
It's the Lord working thru me... I rest in Him, He does the work because without Him I can do nothing.
He is the One producing the fruit, it's not me working to earn His blessing by observing Saturday sabbath.
Well since we've descended into utter confusion, denial, and dishonesty, I'm out for now.
I agree - this topic got weird. We have representatives of both extremes shouting at each other, and any attempt at articulating something like a normal/middle view is just getting lost.Well since we've descended into utter confusion, denial, and dishonesty, I'm out for now.
You may now enlighten me on the finer points, if you must.
Or not.
As you remain smug, I choose "not." Except for this one reminder: Certainly you know the story of the faithful servant and the evil servant.

I apologize, but surely you can't be unaware that your stuff often has an ivory tower ring to it, Scott.

There are two things lofty, only one is ivory.
The Sabbath isn't the law of Moses.Nonsense!
The Lord blesses ALL of my days because I spend each day abiding in Him... NOT trying to keep the law of Moses! View attachment 39050
No,I've not left anything out.Oh...but you have left sooo much out--come so short!
Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it.
Actually, the Sabbath was made for us. Immanuel-Jesus did not invalidate that. Nor was there anything about the Sabbath to be fulfilled, since the Sabbath was to be remembered in the list of Moral commands, rather than being established there.
The Sunday practice is a pagan day of worship. Not the holy day God made for us.
No,I've not left anything out.
Immanuel-Jesus told his congregation,if you love me keep my commands
We are told to use righteous discretion when we judge another.
The Sabbath isn't the law of Moses.
And Immanuel-Jesus cited the 9 commands in his ministry,being he is God who gave them to Moshe-Moses, and then Immanuel-Jesus told his congregation,if you love me keep my commands
We are told to use righteous discretion when we judge another. No need to repeat those facts again and again to you who ignores them because they mean nothing to you.
I share those facts for those who respect God and his word.
No,I've not left anything out.
Actually, you remain defiant to God's actual textual instruction regarding the Sabbath.On the contrary, by preaching the sabbath practice rather than the keeping of the Sabbath that was fulfilled in Christ 2000 years ago--"those who were entering in you hindered."
“Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered.”
