and here is the heart of the error.
over and over again it comes down to this. every time.

these people make exactly the same error the pharisees made, and in fact this error is now deliberately perpetrated by them. this is the jewish fable.

the 'earthly kingdom' fable used to prop up a house of cards which attempts to say Jesus did NOT fulfill all things is the DIVIDING LINE between those who are looking for an earthly kingdom and those who are not.
Paul was a Pharisee why do you quote his writing?

Why are you listening to him?

Every word of the scripture is inspired by God. Whether it is of Paul or of Jesus in flesh. You cannot ignore anything. If you had known what I was talking about the heavenly kingdom then you would not have asked me what it was. I was not vague but you did not understand it. There were people who could understand it otherwise. I don't care when you learned about what I've learned but I am sorry that after being so much in prayer and understanding the Word of God, you found my message convoluted. I follow the instruction of the Spirit of God and not of the likes of JaumeJs. I have never claimed that you have learned anything from me nor did this thought ever pass my mind. I don't know why are you telling ME all this? Have I ever tried to teach you. Did I ever claim to have known more than you do? Why this childishness then? This can't be expected from a man of your age.
amen brother Abishai.

Our Savior is King and Lord now.


John 18 36 "My kingdom," replied Jesus, "does not belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my subjects would have resolutely fought to save me from being delivered up to the Jews. But, as a matter of fact, my kingdom has not this origin."

Luke 17 21 You won't be able to say, 'Here it is!' or 'It's over there!' For the Kingdom of God is already among you."

Matthew 21 5 "Say to the Daughter of Zion, 'See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.'

Luke 24 27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

Why Paul taught other 9 commandments and didn't teach this only one command? He talks exclusively about idolatry, murder, honor parents, stealing, false witness and so on but never mentions a word about keeping the Sabbath in flesh? And you say that keeping the Sabbath in flesh is so holy, then why was it not mentioned just like other commandments?
He did teach the sabbath

Acts 26:22 (KJV)
Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:

Moses wrote

Exodus 20:8 (KJV)
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

So Paul said only what Moses and the prophets said


The sabbath is part of Moses and the prophets

There are so many bright lights in this room who teach so much, many times simply in praising Yahweh, God. It is my preference to hear those who do not speak above their own heads because they have much more to give. I am very greatful to have been blessed with this website and the many here who are family. The sheep know the Master's voice and Him they will hear. Blessed by the body members of Yeshua, Jesus, who come to this room, now and forever, amen.

Philippians 3 1 As to the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord; the same things to write to you to me indeed is not tiresome, and for you is sure;

2 look to the dogs, look to the evil-workers, look to the concision; 3 for we are the circumcision, who by the Spirit are serving God, and glorying in Christ Jesus, and in flesh having no trust, 4 though I also have cause of trust in flesh. If any other one doth think to have trust in flesh, I more; 5 circumcision on the eighth day! of the race of Israel! of the tribe of Benjamin! a Hebrew of Hebrews! according to law a Pharisee! 6 according to zeal persecuting the assembly! according to righteousness that is in law becoming blameless!

7 But what things were to me gains, these I have counted, because of the Christ, loss; 8 yes, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom of the all things I suffered loss, and do count them to be refuse, that Christ I may gain, and be found in him, 9 not having my righteousness, which is of law, but that which is through faith of Christ -- the righteousness that is of God by the faith, 10 to know him, and the power of his rising again, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death, 11 if anyhow I may attain to the rising again of the dead.

He did teach the sabbath

Acts 26:22 (KJV)
Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: ____________________________???

Moses wrote

Exodus 20:8 (KJV)
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

So Paul said only what Moses and the prophets said

The sabbath is part of Moses and the prophets
4“The Jews all know the way I have lived ever since I was a child, from the beginning of my life in my own country, and also in Jerusalem. 5They have known me for a long time and can testify, if they are willing, that according to the strictest sect of our religion, I lived as a Pharisee. 6And now it is because of my hope in what God has promised our fathers that I am on trial today. 7This is the promise our twelve tribes are hoping to see fulfilled as they earnestly serve God day and night. O king, it is because of this hope that the Jews are accusing me. 8Why should any of you consider it incredible that God raises the dead?

9“I too was convinced that I ought to do all that was possible to oppose the name of Jesus of Nazareth. 10And that is just what I did in Jerusalem. On the authority of the chief priests I put many of the saints in prison, and when they were put to death, I cast my vote against them. 11Many a time I went from one synagogue to another to have them punished, and I tried to force them to blaspheme. In my obsession against them, I even went to foreign cities to persecute them.

12“On one of these journeys I was going to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests. 13About noon, O king, as I was on the road, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, blazing around me and my companions. 14We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic,a ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’

15“Then I asked, ‘Who are you, Lord?’

“‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ the Lord replied. 16‘Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen of me and what I will show you. 17I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them 18to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

19“So then, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the vision from heaven. 20First to those in Damascus, then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and to the Gentiles also, I preached that they should repent and turn to God and prove their repentance by their deeds. 21That is why the Jews seized me in the temple courts and tried to kill me. 22But I have had God’s help to this very day, and so I stand here and testify to small and great alike. I am saying nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen— 23 that the Christ would suffer and, as the first to rise from the dead, would proclaim light to his own people and to the Gentiles.

24At this point Festus interrupted Paul’s defense. “You are out of your mind, Paul!” he shouted. “Your great learning is driving you insane.”

25“I am not insane, most excellent Festus,” Paul replied. “What I am saying is true and reasonable. 26The king is familiar with these things, and I can speak freely to him. I am convinced that none of this has escaped his notice, because it was not done in a corner. 27King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you do.”

28Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?”

29Paul replied, “Short time or long—I pray God that not only you but all who are listening to me today may become what I am, except for these chains

You are looking at te wrong law

How is the commandments old a nd decayed if man us still stealing, lying or committing adultery

You do know that the the law of animal sacrifice is what is old and decayed
You got your laws mixed up

Let's read some more

The law is bound to the the disciples the command went forth
Isaiah 8:16 (KJV)
Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.

Why is Isaiah speaking about the disciples?

And what ever reason the law has to be bound to them
Is there also a wrong law? Well, I didn't know that.
The moral law that you mentioned is also mentioned in the NT. However, there is no law about lying in the decalogue. The moral law that we follow is not specifically from the OT, it is found in NT as well except for the Sabbath keeping. Why are you not telling me where keeping of the Sabbath is mentioned by Paul to the gentiles?

My point

So if you do what is written in the law are you cursed ?

Let's read where Paul quoted

Deuteronomy 27:14-26 (KJV)
And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice, [15] Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the Lord , the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place . And all the people shall answer and say, Amen. [16] Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen. [17] Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour's landmark. And all the people shall say, Amen. [18] Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people shall say, Amen. [19] Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen. [20] Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife; because he uncovereth his father's skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen. [21] Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen. [22] Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen. [23] Cursed be he that lieth with his mother in law. And all the people shall say, Amen. [24] Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbour secretly. And all the people shall say, Amen. [25] Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen. [26] Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.

It sounds like these things go on today

Sorry, you never did so there is no question of lack of understanding. If keeping of the Sabbath in flesh is so holy why didn't Paul mention it to the gentiles clearly as in the ten commandments? Why do you want to dig and quote generic statements made by Paul about the law and commandments? Paul was specific with all of the nine commandments, why not about Sabbath? Again, Paul did visit the synagogues to preach but he himself did not keep the Sabbath in flesh and even if he had kept, he did it to become a Jew to the jew but not as a gentile Christian.

Galatians 3 10 Certainly, there is a curse on all who rely on their own efforts to live according to a set of standards because Scripture says, "Whoever doesn't obey everything that is written in Moses' Teachings is cursed."

Galatians 3
By Faith, or by Works of the Law?
1O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified. 2Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? 3Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected bya the flesh? 4Did you sufferb so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? 5Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith— 6just as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”?

7Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham. 8And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justifyc the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you shall all the nations be blessed.” 9So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

The Righteous Shall Live by Faith
10For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.” 11Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.”d 12But the law is not of faith, rather “The one who does them shall live by them.” 13Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”— 14so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirite through faith.

The Law and the Promise
15To give a human example, brothers:f even with a man-made covenant, no one annuls it or adds to it once it has been ratified. 16Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, “And to your offspring,” who is Christ. 17This is what I mean: the law, which came 430 years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to make the promise void. 18For if the inheritance comes by the law, it no longer comes by promise; but God gave it to Abraham by a promise.

19Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was put in place through angels by an intermediary. 20Now an intermediary implies more than one, but God is one.

21Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law. 22But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

23Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. 24So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. 25But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, 26for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. 27For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slaveg nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.

Christans are not under a sabbath law. Jews were and still are.

Col. 2:
13. And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
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.

God nailed all of the OT law to the cross for those who trust in Jesus.

Read all of Acts 15. It's about the attempt of some to burden Antioch gentile believers with OT law keeping.

Acts 15
23. And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:
24. 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:
25. It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26. Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27. We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.
28. For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
29. That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

Blessings, Bill
