The NC is based on the 10 Commandments which are spiritual and eternal...nothing more to do with Hagar and the OC through Moses.
If you had not noticed GOD separated the 10 Commandments from the law of Moses Deut 5v22 and added no more...making a distinction between the comandments of ordinance/works and the holy spiritual laws (10) He would perpetuate for the good of mankind to educate us further in them=loving God and neighbour. No way can they be abolished UNTIL they have accomplished the purpose for which they were sent Isa 55v11.
The commands contained in ordinances HAVE BEEN fulfilled by Christ Eph 2v15; Col 2v14.and no longer apply...but the holy Commandments (10) are for our blessing and further education to fulfill what He has planned for man....don't trash them !!!

No I am boldly proclaiming that if you follow the laws on Mount Sinai and NOT what Jesus taught on the Sermon OF the mount,you are a child of Hagar and not part of the Promised Seed.
You seek to enslave people to mount Sinai. You ought to repent and seek first the kingdom of heaven!
No sublety at all.
Accept the New Covenant and allow the Covenant at Mount Sinai to be nailed to the cross, or contnue being a child of Hagar and not the Promised Seed.
Trust God to provide for your food and clothes and SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, or continue in disobedience and unbelief.

No you seek to,be under the Covenant on Mount Sinai and NOT the SPIRITUAL truths Jesus revaled on His sermon on the Mount about the SPIRITUAL TRUTHS and PURPOSES of the laws given at Mount Sinai.
What you have an issue with is that you refuse to accept Jesus spiritual truths but cling to the worldly outward observances.

Paul obviously disagrees with you. He called the 10 commandments the ministration of death and condemnation that was to be done away with.
But if the ministration of death written [and] engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance, which was to be done away: How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? For if the ministration of condemnation [be] glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. For if that which is done away [was] glorious, much more that which remaineth [is] glorious. 2 Corinthians 3:7-11
The condemnation was done away with. Not the requirement to "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, or "Love your neighbor as yourself" or the Holy Days starting with Passover.
It is a changed "ministry". changed Priesthood. No more Aaron and His Sons, not no more killing animals for remission of sins, no more death and blood for the remission of sins. That has all been "Done away with".
Our death has been done away with, not the definition of the sin that caused our death.
God's Word's and instructions have not been done away with, at least according to Jesus in Matt. 5 and the rest of the entire Bible.

That's not what the text says. It says that which was engraven in stone was done away with, ie, the 10 commandments. The Greek word that is translated done away means to nullify the power of. Jesus nullified the power of the law to condemn us by making us dead to the law. Law exerts no authority over dead people.

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Romans 7:12-14, “So that the Law truly is holy, and the command holy, and righteous, and good. Therefore, has that which is good become death to me? Let it not be! But the sin, that sin might be manifest, was working death in me through what is good, so that sin through the command might become an exceedingly great sinner. For we know that the Law is Spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin."[/FONT]

For SDA's (and their many offshoots) Gregorian Saturday Worship...
...Is a matter of salvation, thus, of the utmost importance.
...If you don't conduct Saturday Worship - game over!
The SDA's have a prophet who was named "Ellen White"...
...Ellen allegedly traveled deep into outer space & communed.
...With extraterrestrials who confirmed "the Sabbath truth".
The Aliens gave Ellen their testimony about the Sabbath...
...& also said IF they broke the law of God they would also fall.
...Like the Earth fell [into sin].
The salient part of all this is that IT WAS POSSIBLE the aliens fell into sin....
...Subsequent to their visit with Ellen G. White - and IF that happened.
...It would explain the many U.F.O. sightings that have been reported.
An Alien race with technological understanding far exceeding those of earth...
...Would undoubtedly have the ability of space travel and if for nothing else.
...Would be interested in the natural resources of the earth.
...Such as minerals, water, etc.
I digress, in answer to the Sabbath question the velocity of the teaching...
...Comes by way of confirmation from E.T.'s through Ellen White.
