So, the sum total of your whole argument is this assumption?
Completely unsupported by Scripture!
I believe we should believe God's word, absolutely!
However I have read every word of Genesis multiple times and there is NO reference to any of the Patriarchs receiving the Torah, much less obeying it!
Even more specifically, there is ABSOLUTELY no mention of the word Sabbath until Ex 16:23!
Yet you are continually claiming your 'sola scriptura' nonsense, but cannot back up any of your claims when put to an actual test.
Posting walls of irrelevant Scripture does nothing but highlight your foolishness.
I will repeat my question again:
So, if this claim is correct then there MUST be a text detailing where Abraham, or some other Patriarch prior to this time, RECEIVED the Torah. Otherwise, it is nothing but unsubstantiated speculation.
This is the Bible we are talking about, we cannot just accept vague speculation as fact, now can we....
So come on, MR SOLA SCRIPTURA, provide me with one text that proves that Abraham or one of the Patriarch's BEFORE him actually RECEIVED the Torah!
If such a text exists then it must be in one of the chapters prior to chapter 26, so it should not be too difficult for Bible teacher of your stature to find...
And, oh, while you are about it, perhaps you could share, just a single text would do, an EXPLICIT reference to Abraham observing the Sabbath. Please do not repost Gen 26:5 - it does not "prove" in any way that Abraham knew the Torah (as given to Moses), kept the Torah (as given to Moses), or observed the Sabbath (as given to Moses)...
The evidence would all be in about the first 30 chapters of Genesis....
I suggest that you find the text where Abraham or some other Patriarch receives the Torah, as well as the text that proves Abraham observed the Sabbath....
otherwise I suggest a blanket unconditional apology to all the people that you have wilfully tried to deceive for more than a year!

You have been provided a wall of scripture that disagrees with you, showing God's people BEFORE MOSES KEPT TORAH here...
CLICK HERE; GOD’S LAWS BEFORE MOSES AND THE SABBATH IN CREATION
When you claimed there is no scripture you were provided a wall of it.
This is God's WORD not mine and we should believe what Gods says.
Now your trying to change your whole argument to say show me a scripture when the TORAH was given to the Patriachs.
Now if God says the Patriachs kept the TORAH and there is a wall of scripture showing this does it matter when it was given?
The fact that God's WORD says the Patriachs kept TORAH before MOSES is enough for me.
You have been provided a wall of scriture support showing that God's people kept TORAH before MOSES.
NOW you show us from God's WORD your teaching that God is lying and the Patriachs did NOT keep Torah when God says they did?
Sola Scriptura, where are you?
Only God's WORD is true and we should BELIEVE and FOLLOW it.
...................
SIN is the breaking of God's Commandments (James 2:9-11; Romans 7:7; 1 John 3:4) Those who CONTINUE in UNREPENTANT SIN will NOT enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN.
...................
God's 4th commandment is one of the ten (Exodus 20:8-11) If we knowingly break it when God asks us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (James 2:8-12).
If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness we are in danger of the Judgement (Hebrews 10:26-27)
Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has led many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (Matthew 15:3-9)
There is not one scripture in all of God's Word that says that God's 4th Commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to KEEP Sunday as a Holy day.
Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of men or the Word of God? Who should we believe the Words of men or the Word of God?
In times of ignorance God winks at but now ,<when a KNOWLEDGE of the truth has come> calls all men everywhere to REPENT (FOLLOW) (Acts 17:30-31).
