i'll take Paul's word over yours. he knew the Law far better than you, and he did not add Sabbath to a direct question, he said " believe in Jesus. you disagree with him, I do not. and, just to be clear. you ain't my friend . you deny salvation through Christ.
Hello gb9,
I believe all the Word of God including the writing of Paul, how about you? Is it me that disagrees with Paul in regards to BELIEVING and FOLLOWING God's Word? For me I am no one only a messenger pointing all to God's Word. We must decrease but He mus increase because ONLY God is true. If you do not FOLLOW what you believe you are indeed NOT a BELIEVER. I BELIEVE salvation is ONLY in Christ but you do not KNOW and BELIEVE that JESUS is the GOSPEL. If you did you would KNOW that HE is the WORD of GOD and the WORD of God IS the Gospel. If you do not know the Gospel haw can you be saved by it?

v12, LET NOT SIN THEREFORE REIGN IN YOUR MORTAL BODY, THAT YOU SHOULD OBEY IT IN THE LUSTS THEREOF

v4, That THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE LAW MIGHT BE FULFILLED IN US, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
v5, For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
v6, For TO BE CARNALLY MINDED IS DEATH; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
v7, Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
v8, So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
v9, But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

v14, For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Chapter 13
v8, Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loves another hath fulfilled the law.

v10, Love works no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
gb9, do you take the writing's of Paul................. 3
Only God's Word is true and we must BELIEVE and FOLLOW it. Those who do not are still in their SINS and do not KNOW him who loves all and call all to come. Many are called but FEW are chosen. Only the FOLLOWERS are CHOSEN because they BELIEVED Him who loves all and they are free to LOVE because He first LOVE them.
God's 4th commandment is one of the ten ( Exodus 20:8-11 ) and like any of the ten, if we knowingly break it when God asks u s not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (James 2:8-12). If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness we are in danger of the Judgement (Hebrews 10:26-27)
There is not one scripture in ALL of God's WORD that says God's 4th commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to worship God on Sunday in it's place.
Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has lead many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (Matthew 15:3-9)
Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of men or the Word of God? Who should we believe the Words of men or the Word of God?
