Sadly enough, his arguments always culminated in a perverted gospel of "salvation by grace plus law, faith plus works." 
Colossians 2:14-17
King James Version
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.

No, the problem is that you don't understand Christianity and what Christ came to do.
Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
So if you believe in the Word of God then you believe that the Lord Jesus did what He said He would do.
So then the next step should be "how was the sabbath fulfilled"?
It is by the very act of giving believers Rest that the commandment to rest is fulfilled. But the Lord doesn't give us Rest only on saturdays. He gives us rest from all of our work at the law all the time.
Someone who is adamant that they must work at the law and does not understand Christianity and what Christ came to do CANNOT understand this nor do they believe it.

Let's do this again, slower.
Galatians 3:2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
Did you receive the Spirit, did you become spiritual, by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith?
ABUNDANTLY obvious that a person becomes spiritual NOT by the works of the law but by the hearing of faith.
Galatians 3:3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
Are you dumb? Having begun in the Spirit by Faith in Christ are you perfected by your work at the law?
And all the legalists and judaizers answer "Yes"... much to their shame and the frustration of Grace.
This is so obvious I'm starting to become embarrassed for you guys.
Romans 9:30-32
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;

By Faith is how we get saved from the sins that we have committed ,But faith won't keep you clean , You GOT to have anuf Faith to KEEP GODs COMMANDMENTS TO stay CLEAN , BECAUSE when YOU sin after you been clean ,Well You would be like the SOW returning to the wallowing in the mire . & that means that you are filthy again , ROMANS 3: 25 tells us the the remission of sins that are past .
We haft go back to the cross if we sin after we have been saved. Braking the COMMANDMENTS is SIN & makes us a transgressor . GOD BE WITH YOU AS HE SEES FIT .

But to fulfill... read all the chapters prior to him say that and you will see what he was fulfilling. In past post I elaborated on this, but your ignorance blinds you from the to the truth of God's word.
You said that I do not know anything about Christianity, I can tell you a lot, but I will tell you this we are not called to be Christians, we are called to be followers. Again, you are ignorant to the truth of God's word.
You are still with this rest argument and all you do is throw verse out of context to try to substantiate your distorted view. You have become a broken record, so I will ignore your post after this post.
By the way, everyone calls themselves Christians and to you all those who say they are Christian are believers, in other words, you are deceiving yourself.

You don't have to twist the Words of the Lord. Matthew 5:17 is perfectly simple and clear. The Lord didn't come to destroy the Law and the Prophets. He came to fulfill them.
Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
How are we not under the law? Why are we NOT expected to work at the law, which includes trying to rest on saturdays?
Because the Lord fulfilled the Law and gives us Rest from our own work at our own righteousness.
1 Corinthians 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
How is it that you don't understand this when it is so simple?
And then when you are shown this simplicity that is in Christ how can you argue against it?
I don't think you can. I think you are all out of excuses and that is the reason you no longer wish to respond.

Want to go to the city?
REV.22 [12] And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. [13] I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. [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.
The scriptures are clear. Follow the directions to the city. Keep Gods 10 commandments if you wish to enter the city {the kingdom rest}
JER.17 [24] And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD, to BRING IN NO BURDEN THROUGH THE GATES OF THIS CITY ON THE SABBATH DAY, BUT HALLOW THE SABBATH DAY, to do no work therein;[25] Then shall there ENTER INTO THE GATES OF THIS CITY kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: AND THIS CITY SHALL REMAIN FOR EVER.
I only know of one city which will remain for ever and the directions to that city are a bit more detailed in Jer.17
MATT.11 [28] Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I WILL GIVE YOU REST.[29] Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.[30] For MY yoke is easy, AND MY BURDEN IS LIGHT..... Jer.17{24}
MATT.7 [13] Enter ye in at THE STRAIT GATE: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:[14] Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it......Jer.17{25}
PSALM 132 [11] The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. [12] IF THY CHILDREN WILL KEEP MY COVENANT AND MY TESTIMONY that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore. [13] FOR THE LORD HATH CHOSEN ZION; HE HATH DESIRED IT FOR HIS HABITATION. [14] THIS IS MY REST FOR EVER: HERE WILL I DWELL; FOR I HAVE DESIRED IT. [15] I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. [16] I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. [17] There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
Verse12. Keep my covenant {10 commandments} and my testimony {of Jesus}
REV.12 [16] And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.[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.

You dont knowest?
LUKE 18 [20] Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
The translated word for commandments in the above scripture is “entole”. As you can see its the 10 commandments. No doubt about it.
REVELATION 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.
The word commandments found in Rev.22 is in the greek the word entole.
Pretty simple if you simply believe the Word

In Luke 18:20, Jesus lists five commandments that come from the ten commandments. However, it seems clear to me that he is simply listing 5 commandments to represent all of The commandments that God gave to the Israelites through Moses in the wilderness.
Surely we don't think that Jesus was encouraging the man to stop circumcising his male offspring, do we?
That word for commandments is used in many places in the scriptures. For example,

IMO, it's clearly not the ten commandments there.
