In agreement about what? That the pharisees sought to kill Jesus because in their view He broke the Sabbath? Obviously Jesus dd not break any law 
In agreement that Sunday is identified as the first day of the week? That the first day of the week was Pentecost, the birthing of the new Church in Christ's Holy name? That Sunday was the day the Lord was discovered arisen from the grave? The day He went to the Father as an offering of First Fruits? A day the apostles met for fellowship? That the keeping of the Sabbath law was not seen as necessary in the new Church? Please clarify.

I dont know what you mean by 'what church', there is really only one true ecclesia. Christians made a practice of meeting regularly and the breaking of bread in community on the Lords day is clearly seen in scripture (called here the first day of the week, which was most definitely a Sunday then).
You didnt answer the second question?
You didnt answer the second question?
15 What then? shall we sin,(transgress God's Laws) because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
"depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
So you asked where it says they rejected His Commandments. Iniquity is sin. Sin is transgression of God's Laws. These are not my words, but the words of the Bible. So I have shown you in God's Word the answer to your question. Both their works, and the result of their works.
My post isn't against the teaching of the Bible, it may be against Mainstream Christian preaching, but it isn't against the Bible.
The Bible also teaches that "Faith without works is dead". But you preach that faith with works is without power. ( I assume that could mean "faith with works is dead").
I say these things not to offend, but in brotherly love. Jesus said to "Take heed" that the "many" who come in His name doesn't deceive me. But if you can't even see the point of my post, there is no more need continue.
Thanks you for your reply and question

Hi Magenta, I agree with all of your post. Can you also agree that there is only "half a gospel" being taught if you do not include the sanctification of the believer, and only push a "keep believing" or "keep working" to be saved gospel. As one other poster said here, the people who push their works salvation no longer need Jesus because their works will keep them saved, (until they don't), and then you will lose your eternal salvation; which is a complete lie.
Justification is our "position" in Christ -- Sanctification is our "practice" in Christ. These are basic truths that are taught from the scriptures.
Philippians2:12,13
continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. 'For it is God who works in you,' to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
What is Sanctification: It is our practice and being set apart for the work of the ministry and worship, a life long pursuit. It is a fact that the believers Sanctification is never brought to the discussion on this thread by the people who claim that you need to, "keep working" or "keep believing", to be saved.
Quote: CARM.org
"Sanctification is the process of being set apart for God's work and being conformed to the image of Christ. This conforming to Christ involves the work of the person, but it is still God working in the believer to produce more of a godly character and life in the person who has already been justified (Phil. 2:13).
Sanctification is not instantaneous because it is not the work of God alone. The justified person is actively involved in submitting to God's will, resisting sin, seeking holiness, and working to be more godly (Gal. 5:22-23). Significantly, sanctification has no bearing on justification. That is, even if we don't live a perfect life, we are still justified.

We conclude that a man is justified by faith WITHOUT WORKS.
The attempt to keep the law and works of God for is a lost cause....it proves guilt and does not justify any man before God......!
and to conflate your first two points speaks multitudes.....those under grace are not condemned with the list referenced in your 2nd quote....
wow....context dude....!!

Psalm 11:4, "יהוה is in His holy temple; יהוה throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men."
Hebrews 4:13, “And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all are naked and laid bare before the eyes of Him with whom is our account.”
Luke 8:17, “For whatever is hidden shall be revealed, and whatever is secret shall be known and come to light.”

Now that is PURE FALSE TEACHING FROM A GUARANTEED FALSE PROPHET.
When we worship on SUNDAY, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with SABBATH, which is always on Saturday - sundown Friday thru sundown Saturday. AND IT IS ALWAYS A SIGN OF THE COVENANT BETWEEN GOD AND ISRAEL. We Worship on Sunday because it is Day HE rose from the Grave, and we Worship a RISEN LORD.
NOW THAT IS VERSE 1, NOT VERSE 28. THE GREEK WORD "SABBATON" CARRIES A SECONDARY MEANING OF A DAY OF THE "WEEK", AND SINCE IT IS PRECEDED BY THE GREEK WORD FOR "THE FIRST", THAT MAKES THE CORRECT TRANSLATION, "THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK".

If they were never saved how were they able to do anything in His name? You must have the Holy Spirit in order for Him to manifest His power
Jesus said these signs will follow them that believe. Him knowing in this case is relationship, He knows everyone. He didn't just never know them. It's obviously deeper
They were confused because they took the power as a sign or confirmation of their salvation. Living in unrepentant sin, disqualified them.
I know many will disagree how? They believed in a Jesus, not The Jesus. Idols are easily formed. He's a king not just a brother

The reason as to why is given;
Get away from Me, you who practice _________.
Mat 7:21-23, "Not everyone who says to Me; Teacher! Teacher! Will enter into the Kingdom of YHWH, but only he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day; Teacher! Teacher! Have we not prophesied in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and in Your Name performed many wonderful works? But then I will declare to them; I never knew you. Get away from Me, you who practice iniquity."
“iniquity” is word # G0458 - anomia {an-om-ee'-ah} from G0459, Greek Word Study (Transliteration-Pronunciation Etymology & Grammar)
1) the condition of without law, 1a) because ignorant of it, 1b) because of violating it, 2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness
Mat 24:12, "And because iniquity will abound, the love of the many will grow cold."
Somehow I think people will disagree with me, but it is written.

Hi garee,
I write this as a help and no disrespect.
Matthew 28:1
And on the eve of the sabbaths, at the dawn, toward the first of the first day of the week (sabbaths), came Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre
This is a correct use of the Greek word sabbatōn; σαββάτων which is used twice in this verse and translates as "Sabbath(s)" meaning is plural more than one. This scripture above is written this way for a number of reasons. Firstly the word sabbatōn; σαββάτων can have two meanings in the Greek depending on the context being use. That is it can represent the day or the intervals from one sabbath to another representing a week.

see HEBREW shabbath
This is the reason why all bible translations make the scripture read........
Matthew 28:1
In the end of the sabbath(s), as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week (4521: sabbaton), came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
Just a point of interest we could leave it there and it all makes sense but just an interesting side note. In this particular week that Jesus died, coincided with the annual Jewish festivals of the Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, and Feast of Weeks which had their fulfillment in Jesus death and resurrection.
These annual festivals included Holy convocations (sabbaton) where no no ordinary work (H4399; מְלָאכָה mᵉlāʾḵâ; employment or business for income) was allowed. In the Greek these Holy convocations also translate as sabbatōn; σαββάτων..............
Strong's Exhaustive Concordance
G4521. sabbaton
Sabbath day Of Hebrew origin (shabbath); the Sabbath (i.e. Shabbath), or day of weekly rest from secular avocations (occupation, employment business) also the observance or institution itself; by extension, a se'nnight, i.e. The interval between two Sabbaths; likewise the plural in all the above applications -- sabbath (day), week.
The Feast of Unleavened Bread was one of these festival sabbaths (G4521. sabbaton) that could fall on any day of the week. During the time of the death of Jesus was also the time of some of the annual Jewish festivals (Passover, Feast of Unleavened bread, Feast of First fruits (resurrection). When Jesus died and rested according to the commandment it was called a "High Sabbath Day". The Jews called a Sabbath a "High Day" when one of the annual festival sabbaths (holy convocations) which could normally fall on any day of the week would fall on the 7th Day weekly Sabbath of God's commandment (John 19:31) See also Wiki High Sabbaths
In this case the Feast of Unleavened Bread fell on the Passover and weekly Sabbath making two Sabbath(s) in one (plural), meaning God's weekly 7th Day Sabbath (sabbaton) and the annual festival sabbath of the Feast of Unleavened bread which was a Holy convocation meaning rest and no secular work was allowed (sabbaton). Hence the first part of Matthew 28:1 In the end of the sabbath(s).....
So also your quote above does not tell us that God's 7th Day Sabbath is not abolished and we are now commanded to keep Sunday as a Holy day. Sunday worship is a teaching and tradition of Man breaking the commandment of God and if we break the commandments of God to follow the teachings of man we are not following God because it is written......
Matthew 15:3-9
3, But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? 4, For God commanded, saying, Honor thy father and mother: and, He that curses father or mother, let him die the death. 5, But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou might be profited by me; 6, And honor not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. 7, Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, 8, This people draws nigh unto me with their mouth, and honors me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9, But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Hope this is helpful and of interest.

For those interested this is the reason you keep Sunday as a day of worship. Sunday worship is following the teachings and traditions of the RCC over the Word of God.............

May God bless you all as you seek Him through His Word...
Mattithyah 24:20, "But pray that your flight will not be in the winter, nor on the Sabbath Day."
Matt 5:18, "For truly 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 21:1-2, "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no more sea. And I, Yahanan, saw the holy city, YHWH Shammah, coming down from YHWH out of heaven, prepared as brides adorned for their husbands. And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying: Behold, the tabernacle of YHWH is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they will be His people, and YHWH Himself will be with them, and be their Father.”
Luke 16:17, "But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one yodh of the Law to fail."
Council of Laodicea (4th Century) Canon 29
Christians must not judaize by resting on the Sabbath, but must work on that day, rather honouring the Lord's Day; and, if they can, resting then as Christians. But if any shall be found to be judaizers, let them be anathema from Christ.

Daniyl 7:25, "And he will speak great words against YHWH, and will wear out; mentally attack to cause to fall away, the saints of YHWH, and think to change times and Laws…"
Peter R. Kraemer, Catholic Church Extension Magazine, USA (1975), Chicago, Illinois, “Under the blessing of the Pope Pius XI” - “It is always somewhat laughable, to see the Protestant churches, in pulpit and legislation, demand the observance of Sunday, of which there is nothing in their Bible.”

That's the point, lol. Protestants think the way things are now is because God made them that way. We think the official day of worship/rest was changed by God because the law was 'done away with'. Nope. Not true.
The Catholics in their supposed greater authority than Christ are the one's who decreed that the new Sabbath day would be Sunday. And we Protestants don't know that. We just think God did away with the law and replaced it with a new law where we meet on Sunday's. Not even remotely true.
So we can't attack Messianic believers for wanting to meet and worship and rest on the 7th day because God did not decree that the church would no longer meet and worship and rest on that day. MAN decreed that.
