Also, we are not under the administration of the Levitical priests with their laws. That priesthood was overcome by the order of Melchizedek wherein all believers are priests with Christ as our High Priest.

The church today says that the Sabbath was cancelled. As proof they tell of Mary’s discovery of the risen Christ on Sunday. It doesn’t make sense that the time of a discovery should change what God tells us He created on the seventh day, or that a time of discovering something establishes when it happened, but that is the way they think.

The Lord gave us a new covenant, one we are told makes the old covenant obsolete. The church tells us that God knew he make a mistake so he cancelled the old covenant. I guess they think that God is like them and they know they make mistakes so they say so does the Lord. As if the Lord was just another human.

The church goes on and on about the mistakes the Lord has made. They say the sacrificial system didn’t work at all for atonement of sin even though scripture tells us it did. When the blood of cattle was used to feed the Lord, like pagans fed idols and not as a symbol of Christ, God hated it so the church tells us it was a mistake of the Lord to establish it.

The church tells us OT scripture can be in error. OT scripture tells us that God guides us to praise and celebrate His plan of salvation for us with feasts for all generations. The church tells us that is an error, that the feasts are to be treated the same way cutting the foreskin is treated.

Scripture tells us to celebrate Christ with Passover, the church says God cancelled that. They made up a new way to do it and named it using pagan gods to inspire them to make up a name for this replacement.

Demons are attracted to the church, undermining it is undermining the Lord. They have done a mighty work, they will still fail in the end.

I am assuming you keep the 7th day?

You do realize that the New moon is the first day of the month, and you count the days from that day. "Saturday" is "Saturn's" day or "Satan's day".

Since there are 29.5 days in a lunar month the "New Moon Sabbath is a 2-3 day weekend every month". Now if you truly keep the Sabbath day holy I applaud you, but most of those I hear pontificating on this are keeping Saturn's day holy.

Most people cannot keep the Sabbath day holy because the world operates on a different calendar and it would be chaos for all employees and most employers. Hence Paul told us to keep the Lord's table "on whatever day".

Sabbath worship is not commanded in the New Testament... the law was fulfilled in Christ, in Whom we find our rest, because He fulfilled the law, whereas nobody else could, and to fail in one part is to fail the whole of it. If it makes someone feel better to observe Saturday instead of Sunday, that is certainly their prerogative to do so.

Christ did fulfill the law this is true. Much the same we still don't take things from other that don't belong to us. Much the same we do not kill. Same goes for the sabbath just because the law is fulfilled does not mean we should keep breaking any law of God.

I am not sure which laws you refer to; seeing as how Jesus fulfilled the law, there is no need for us to try to keep something that was not given to us in the first place. Do not kill and do not steal, yes, those were re-iterated in the New Testament. Keeping the Sabbath was not.

Jesus fulfilled the Law of Love. And seeing how Jesus did this for us we now can share in that love.
