The apostles explanation in Acts 15 to the claim that the Gentiles needed to be circumcised
and obey the law. Was simply a rejection of that claim. Peter said we were saved by grace.
As for the ordinances given to the Gentile churches one could certainly see the attempt.
Made by the apostles to clean up the filthy Gentile behavior that horrified the Jews.
The Gentiles could certainly seek out a synagogue but not while mentioning Jesus Christ.
So the take away from Acts 15 is no circumcision for the Gentiles, and no law for the Gentiles,
except for sexual immorality.

so who gets the glory for your actions?
Can you do good?
We make the choice but we are unable without the help.... help of the Holy Spirit. We are slaves to sin but by the power of God we can be set free. We have to choose to follow God and obey Him but it is only by His strength that we can choose to do that.
God does not force us but enables us if we allow Him to. We need to depend on God to save us.
Psa 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
Heb 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;

So why did you say G1380?
As for G1378, this word is used a number of times in the New Testament.
More often the translation of G1378 is "decree".
Ephesians 2:15 (KJV)
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in decrees to make in himself
of twain one new man, so making peace.

Yes!
And Christ, not the Law, is the standard of our righteousness.
“But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God and righteousness and sanctification and redemption, that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.”
We must never think that because of something we do that we are allowed to stand righteous before God. To the question “What gives you the right to call God your Father?” our answer can only be “Because I, by the Holy Spirit, was placed into Christ.”

i agree that there is no formal law but there was sin, It may not have been written on stone but God must of made it known to them our they could not be held guilty of sin.
our conscience is the Holy Spirit reminding us of what is right and wrong.
Sin is the transgression of the law. We do not understand how it was made known to the people in the begining but it was a sin to murder and lie and steal and covet from the start. Adam loved Eve more then he loved God and Adam sinned.
Exo 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Exo 20:17 Thou shalt not covet.

Well TMS, if your receiving the gifts that Jesus offers then there is no room. For anyone to claim
that they played some part in their own salvation.
Whether or not you get forgiveness because you confessed is not related to how salvation
is given to us.
The scripture is clear that salvation is a gift given to those that believe in Jesus.
Romans 10:9
That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him
from the dead, you will be saved.
The way you choose to live your Christian life is a matter for another day.
Don't confuse the two as literally everyone does.

No it's not unrighteous for me to do whatever I want on Saturdays because I always am aware that God is there sanctifying me, which was the sole purpose of the 4th commandment, ie rest from physical labor to know that God is sanctifying Israel. I on the other hand continually strive to rest from works of the flesh and law by putting my trust in God that he is sanctifying me through his indwelling spirit. If you think not being normal on Saturdays is sin, then to you it is sin.

all glory to Christ ................................
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Rom 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
We are told to crucify the flesh. and die to self, and God does not force us to do that. we have a choice as to who sits on the throne in our life (of our hearts).

If you don't want to watch the u-tube thats your loss, but it isn't about the animals it is about us. People were asked to keep it holy.
God made it for us.
Mar 2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
Mar 2:28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
