Maybe then you can help me.
After all are we not here to help each other?

So would you mind posting some Bible verses that show that Adam & Eve were given the 10 commandments and Abraham.

How many commandments did God give to Noah?
I will answer by the words of JESUS which makes his statement false Bill....

THE LAW CAME BY MOSES.......<--JESUS said this....I will take his word over any and all who try and force the law down our throats by saying it was given unto Adam and EVE........GOD inspired JOHN to write this.......by the way!

Back to the foundation: if Christ defeated Satan, that means the Christian has defeated Satan. If Christ atoned for all sin, then no sin can attach itself to the Believer, that is, if the Believer keeps trusting Christ (John 14:20). If Christ is a Law-keeper, than the Believer is a Law-keeper. If Christ is victorious, then the Believer is victorious.

As far as trying to do something as it concerns daily, we are to do nothing. In fact, it was already done at Calvary some two thousand years ago. On a daily basis, we should reinforce our Faith in Christ and what He has done for us at the Cross (Rom. 8:2, Gal. 2:20-21, Col. 2:1o-15).

Well, if the only commandment we are to keep is love thy neighbor, then as someone said, we keep all the rest by default.. And if we keep every day holy, then the sabbath is every day. :)
The reason why the Sabbath is no longer binding on New covenant believers is simply that the Sinaitic covenant, to which the Torah and the Ten commandments are integral, has been abrogated, by the institution of the New covenant..
THAT is the reason the Sabbath is no longer binding!
THAT and no other!
Your sentiment only works BECAUSE in the New covenant NONE of the laws of the Sinaitic covenant are operational!

Now before anyone starts ripping into me accusing me of antinomianism, a close study of the New Testament - particularly those parts that detail events AFTER the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ will find that the principles and force of NINE of the ten original commandments are confirmed in the New covenant. Sabbath observance is the conspicuous absentee....

Furthermore, it is true, as some have already pointed out, that a higher law of love is very much the emphasis of the New covenant exemplified in the Fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22-23). So much so that Paul says of this: "[FONT=&quot][/FONT][FONT=&quot]Against such there is no law[/FONT][FONT=&quot].[/FONT]" Gal 5:22

However, in order to properly understand this, the fact that the Sinaitic covenant is gone and buried is central!

When the holy spirit dwells in a person, it is called the light, and life of the spirit. God has declared sin dead in the body,and it no longer have power, because of the light within.

Simple and only answer. NO, the 10 Commandments have not been abolished.

Before the Cross, God gave the Israelites the Mosaic Laws as a guide to keep them. They could not.

After the Cross, God gave us a better way to keep them. All we have to do is love God and Others as Jesus loved us. It appears to me, by the observations of the actions of the Christian community, that we are failing just as the Israelites.

The one fact that many seem to forget is that Salvation was, is and always will be by the Grace of God, through our Faith in Him. No amount of works has ever saved a single soul.

My message to everyone on this Easter/Resurrection day is that God sent His Son to be the final, perfect sacrifice to save us from our sins and provide for each and every one of us an Eternal Life in Him.

Mama and I wish each of you another wonderful and joyful blessed year in our Lord and Savior.

The ten commandments weren't abolished, they were condensed into one commandment - love thy neighbor!

If you do that one, by default you do all ten.
Actually "two" do all the law and prophets hang upon the other is "Love the Lord thy God with all thy strength,heart,mind,and soul".

This thread isn't about whether people keep the sabbath or not..
Then why are people focusing on sabbath-keeping? And why are Christians forgetting that the principles of the sabbath, which are rest from daily labor, and worship on the Lord's Day, have already been appropriated by the Christian sabbath? So, in fact, loving God means applying those principles to the first day of the week -- which reminds Christians weekly about THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST. It was never meant to be an yearly remembrance, but a WEEKLY remembrance. So all Ten Commandments are still applicable within the New Covenant. Anyone who denies this denies the terms and conditions of the New Covenant.

Moses and the Israelites.
TABLETS OF STONE -- Moses and Israelites

HEARTS & MINDS -- All Believers

HEBREWS 8

7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.

8
For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

9
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

10
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

In one thing and one thing only are the Adventists correct - Sunday worship is NOT a substitute for Sabbath observance!
Your stated position here gives Adventists all the ammunition in the world to mock and jeer (and they do) because their position is that ALL non-Adventists hold to this ignorant position!

First up, the Sabbath was given for a single purpose only - rest!
It was never a day to worship God (our Adventist friends have a lot of trouble with this bit) but a day of rest!
The Sabbath is fulfilled (along with the rest of the Torah) by the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross.
This fulfilment (of the Sabbath) is well described in Hebrews 4:1-11 (the reason Adventists attack this passage so aggressively).
The pattern adopted for worship by the nascent NT church was roughly based on synagogue practise, but synagogue practise is never explicitly commanded by God.
However, the worship of God in NT church practise was NEVER limited to a specific day of the week.
Yes, they did meet on Sundays (first day of the week) to be sure, but they met and worshipped on the other days too!

The relationship between the Sabbath and current Christian practise is through Hebrews 4:1-11, not Sunday worship!

No law whatsoever has to be abolished or by any other means to pass away in order for it to have no power over a dead man.

Whoever has died is no longer under law. ((re: Romans 6-8))

That's the situation.
Christ died once for all of us! if you are in Him, you also have died, and there is therefore no more condemnation


((can I get an AMEN?? folks, this is unbelievably good news - so good hardly anyone believes it!))

Stop quoting small proof texts from here and there - try READING the whole of the Epistles of Romans and Galatians from start to finish, then you may start to understand what Paul is actually referring to in Romans 3:31....

Hiz, why are we not held in condemnation for lacking physical tzitzit on our garments?

The law requires it of those under the law - and there is no scripture that specifically revokes it.

So why is the believer not held to the law? Guilty of one part, guilty of all, is it not so? Not one jot or tittle?

How then do we escape judgement?

Fair enough - I believe your post!
It just means that you are awfully deceived to believe that the Sinaitic covenant is still binding on New covenant believers...

again, chadash, neos, kainos, metathemai, metathesis....

It's YHWH's Covenant, no Levites Yahshua is the High Priest not, it stands fast with aHIm as Scriptures says.

Psalm 89:26-37, “He will call out to Me; ‘You are My Father, O YHWH! You are the Rock of My salvation!’ And I will make Him My firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. My mercy I will keep for Him forever and My covenant will stand fast withHim. And I will establish His Seed forever, and His throne will be as the days of heaven. Should His children forsake My Law, and refuse to walk in My judgments; Should they profane My statutes, and fail to keep My commandments; Then I will punish their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with lashes from the whip. Nevertheless, My lovingkindness I will not utterly withdraw from Him, nor will I ever betray My faithfulness. My covenant I will not break, nor will I change what has gone out of My lips. Once for all, I have vowed by My holiness, I cannot lie, and I say to David; His Seed will endure forever, and his throne will endure before Me like the sun. His throne will be established forever like the moon: the faithful witness in the sky.”

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Psalms 105:6-10, “O seed of Aḇraham His servant, Children of Ya‛aqoḇ, His chosen ones! He is [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]יהוה [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]our Strength; His right-rulings are in all the earth. He has remembered His covenant forever, The Word He commanded, for a thousand generations, The covenant He made with Aḇraham, And His oath to Yitsḥaq, And established it to Ya‛aqoḇ for a law, To Yisra’yl – an everlasting covenant.[/FONT]



Jeremiah 31:31-34, “See, the days are coming,” declares יהוה, “when I shall make a renewed covenant with the house of Yisra’ĕl and with the house of Yehuḏah, (Heb 8:8-12, Heb 10:16-17) not like the covenant I made with their fathers in the day when I strengthened their hand to bring them out of the land of Mitsrayim, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them,” declares יהוה. For this is the covenant I shall make with the house of Yisra’ĕl after those days, declares יהוה: I shall put My Torah in their inward parts, and write it on their hearts. And I shall be their Strength, and they shall be My people. And no longer shall they teach, each one his neighbor, and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know יהוה,’ for they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares יהוה. “For I shall forgive their crookedness, and remember their sin no more.”


not like the covenant I made with their fathers


Hebrews 7:11-17, “Truly, then, if perfection were through the Lĕwitical priesthood – for under it the people were given the Torah – why was there still need for another priest to arise according to the order of Malkitseḏeq, and not be called according to the order of Aharon? For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there takes place a change of law also. Footnote: bFrom Malkitseḏeq to Aharon. For He of whom this is said belongs to another tribe, from which no one had attended at the slaughter-place.c Footnote: cSee “Altar” in the Explanatory Notes. For it is perfectly clear that our Master arose from Yehuḏah, a tribe about which Mosheh never spoke of concerning priesthood, and this is clearer still, if another priest arises in the likeness of Malkitseḏeq, who has become, not according to the torah of fleshly command, but according to the power of an endless life, for He does witness, “You are a priest forever according to the order of Malkitseḏeq.”


Mat 5:18, "I say to you; Unless heaven and earth passes away, one yodh; the smallest of the letters will in no way pass from the Law, until all things are perfected."

Revelation 21:1, "I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away."



Hebrews 4:14-15, "4:14, "Therefore, since we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, יהושע the Son of Elohim, let us hold fast our confession."4:15, "For we do not have a High Priest unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who was tried in all respects as we are, apart from sin."

Hebrews 7:13, “For He of whom this is said belongs to another tribe, from which no one had attended at the Altar. For it is perfectly clear that our Master arose from Yehuḏah, a tribe about which Mosheh never spoke of concerning priesthood.”

Hebrews 9:11-12, "But the Messiah came near as a High Priest over the righteous things to come, with the great and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation; Nor through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once, for all, having obtained eternal redemption."

Hebrews 7:23-28, “And indeed, those that became priests were many, because they were prevented by death from continuing, but He, because He remains forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. Therefore He is also able to save completely those who draw near to Yah through Him, ever living to make intercession for them. For it was fitting that we should have such a High Priest – kind, innocent, undefiled, having been separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens, who does not need, as those high priests, to offer up slaughter offerings day by day, first for His own sins and then for those of the people, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself. For the Torah appoints as high priests men who have weakness, but the word of the oath which came after the Torah, appoints the Son having been perfected forever.”




Hebrews 7:11-12, "Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron? For the priesthood being changed (#G3331), there is made of necessity a change (#G3346)also of the law."
