That is only if you are seeking salvation by the keeping of the Law.
Not at all. it’s about what the law is meant for and what the gospel is meant for
“Now we know that
what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
Therefore
by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”
Romans 3:19-20 KJV
The law was added in later because of mans sin , was temporary until Christ arrived , and was ordained of angels d given to Moses for mediation
“Wherefore then serveth
the law? It was added because of transgressions,
till the seed should come to whom the promise was made;
and
it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
But
before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore
the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But
after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.”
Galatians 3:19, 23-25 KJV
Notice it’s speaking of faith in opposition to the law it’s because he’s already said this
“For
as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written,
Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
But that
no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And
the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.”
Galatians 3:10-12 KJV
the law is simply not the new covenant it’s the old covenant israel broke and cursed themselves with the gospel is our covenant it’s of faith not the law it’s based on hearing Jesus and following his words that promise eternal
Life according to faith
Everything in the epistles is written to people who
already believed in Jesus Paul’s telling Christian’s all these things about Moses law
James is writing this to Christian’s
“For
whosoever shall keep the whole law, and
yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.”
James 2:10-11
Paul saying this to Christian believers
“For
Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
For Moses describeth
the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.”( back to Galatians three above )
Romans 10:4-5 KJV
Finally just look at who he’s talking to he’s telling Christian’s not to go back and be yoked again to the law saying if you go back to that thinking you’ve fallen from grace
“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith
Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is
a debtor to do the whole law. Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.”
Galatians 5:1, 3-4 KJV
he’s constantly warning against becoming indebted again tonthe law of Moses same argument Peter makes it’s a yoke we don’t want and can’t bear anyways
“Now therefore
why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?”
Acts 15:10 KJV
At he law of Moses is not our covenant law itnis acrually a subversion of Christian souls to insist they keep the law
“forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have
troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:”
Acts 15:24 KJV
that all being said
it’s not wrong to keep the sabbath it’s just that we’re pretending if we don’t learn what the law says about keeping the sabbath and then say I keep the sabbath it’s all defined in Moses law
We can’t gather or cook food on a sabbath , can’t work even as much as to pick up a stick from the ground , we can’t build or stoke a fire for warmth , we have to disassociate and condemn anyone who doesn’t keep the sabbath according to the law of Moses even of li ting a death sentence upon someone that picks up sticks on a sabbath day
That’s just a few details about what the law says about keeping a sabbath holy we don’t get to re destine the law and then say we’re keeping the law we have tomlewrn what it says forst and then keep it if that’s our choice
