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;
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
So theres a law that was nailed to the cross.If you take a closer look and read these verses carefully,you would note the following....
HANDWRITING of ordinances that was AGAINST US
Deu 31:24 And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,
Deu 31:25 That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying,
Deu 31:26 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.
Here we have a handwritten book of laws that was against us.In these laws you would find laws dealing with food , holydays ,sabbath days and other feasts.Go and look at most of the holydays and feasts and you will notice that those feasts points forward to Jesus as saviour and to the cross.All these feasts were a mere shadow and they were fulfilled with Jesus.And when the temples veil tore, they were nailed to the cross.And those feast days they also called sabbath days.
In contrast you have Gods moral law of ten commandments.Not written by human hand and in the fourth commandment the Author identifies Himself.This weekly sabbath points us back to creation and God as the creator.If you delete this commandment anybody can claim these laws as his .
Exo 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Exo 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
Exo 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
Exo 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
You cannot make up your own mind and worship God any way you like.Its not called the ten suggestions. And just keeping nine doesnt fly either.Either all ten are gone or none are gone. Then i guess its ok to murder and steal ect.And then God would be lying here....
Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Rev 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie
or maybe He is stretching the truth a little here...
1Jn 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
1Jn 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1Jn 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
1Jn 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
1Jn 2:7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
And this , just lies...
Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
I dont know but it seems that if you keep Gods commandments, it upsets that dragon dude.Imagine he could trick the world into doing what they think is right,but what in effect is disobeying Gods commandments. Imagine this could be a sighn of who you really obey.The one you obey is after all your master, isnt it ?The bible says the whole world would wander after the beast .So maybe the few poeple screaming the truth would be seen as rageing lunatics.Just like the days of Noah, 8 poeple saved and the rest of the world thought they were mad.
