I think this is the key point as well. It is only through the Word of God that we can find Jesus and know the truth because he is the Word. You leave the Word of God to follow the teachings of man you are leaving Jesus. It is only by continuing in God's Word that we can know the truth of what God wants us to do.......
"Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:31-32) This promise is conditional on continuing in God's Word
and further..........
"Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon." (Isa 55:6-7)
If you do the above God promises.........
"And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart." (Jer 29:13)
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." (John 14:26)
"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come." (John 16:13)
"If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself." (John 7:17)
If people want to find Jesus and His truth they need to ask him for it and seek him and find him and know him through His Word. We must always point people there so they can find Jesus for themselves.
God bless you

You've been shown, over and over and over but you refuse to see.
Same with your cohorts.
It is abundantly obvious that Christians are not under the law. That is a FACT.
You can argue it, just like the pharisees who believed in Acts 15, but I think you are on the wrong side of the argument. The anti-Christian side.

"And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world." (John 12:47)
"He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day." (John 12:48)
"Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judges: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things." (Rom 2:1)

My first point is simple here it is:
Gen 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Gen 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
God blessed and sanctified a day the 7th to be exact.
Now please show me the error in that.

Don't know who said it first on here, Sabbath is not commanded in the beginning, (Gen) because they where not in rebellion against God they walked with God, (meaning they were in agreement, or one)
This is why we are not saved by the law but through faith by grace. Grace theologically defined is unmerited favor. Grace or favor was given before the sacrifice of the Messiah we know of, not to say it wasn't done before the foundation of the creation. Favor was given to the individuals who are obedient to the Word of God. Nothing has changed since then. Through Faith Abraham believed God and it was credited him for righteousness. In what manner did Abraham believe God? Through keeping the commands, judgments, and rulings of God. It wasn't through the Law Abraham had Faith his belief is faith, just as we too must put our faith in the Messiah to be saved and bare the cross, (instruction of God) in our walk if we really agree with God and the testimony of Messiah.

Sometimes we want to analyse God as if He is human.
This might be a newsflash but: If we think God's word is in error and He had to change it to accommodate us... we are wrong... not God. He is God and can never be wrong or change.
His standards are set in stone (literally) and we can choose to embrace them or ignore them
God bless friends

Brother, if we for one minute think that Adam did not keep God's law we are not discussing the same god. The Bible is clear, God does not change. If we don't understand the law or the purpose of the law we are at fault.
I agree with you that the law was never given to us for salvation purposes. The law gives us a glimpse of God's character and once again He is not changing. People who want to enter covenant with God on a "free for all" basis are making a mistake. We have our guidelines and God gave it for a reason.
