Some need someone to hate. It's that sad and simple.
Is that the excuse you give yourself? Just curious. There is a lot you have ignored and just run away from addressing.

Don't imply I'm not being honest.

You're not honest. You repeatedly falsely accuse.

I'll tell you this too, and it is something I have mentioned before on here, because when someone
in England wanted some of my Scripture panels, I would not even let her pay the postage for them.
Because I take the no financial gain seriously and it has nothing to do with what you said it was.

I was baptized in a lake.
Baptized by whom?


1 Corinthians 1:10-12
Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment. For I have been informed concerning you, my brothers and sisters, by Chloe’s people, that there are quarrels among you. Now I mean this, that each one of you is saying, “I am with Paul,” or “I am with Apollos,” or “I am with Cephas,” or “I am with Christ.”

The only thing that changed was the placement- God's law when from tables of stone to tablet written in the heart. Not something far off, but placed inside right where sin begins in the heart. Now, we have God doing if we cooperate with Him through love and faith Heb 8:10 John 14:15-18
so youre saying God write "letters" in the human hearts (like tattoo?)
You see you keep deny Jesus which is the Spirit that God writes/put within our hearts. (you're alienated from Christ you've fallen from Grace.)

God writes His law in our hearts, they were written on stone, not written in our heart.

Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

If you think only worshipping God alginates myself from God, there is nothing I can do to help you understand what Paul is really saying. I will take my chances and obey God's law because He asked and Jesus kept them and told us to follow Him. We are free to do the opposite of what Jesus said and taught and lived, but He is the way, not Paul. Paul's teaching came with a warning for a good reason, but people want to believe what they want to believe and it all gets sorted out soon enough.

The law is spiritual in essence, but its letters are carnal. The letter kills, but the essence, ie, the spirit in our hearts, gives life.

For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. Romans 7:14
And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. Hebrews 7:15-16

Because I was replying to your statement, not the scripture you posted, which are not evidence that there are 2 laws. There was one law and the 10 commandments were part of it. The stone tablets were not for the people; they never saw them. They were hidden away in the ark in the hoiy of holies as a witness against Israel. The law on the scroll was their law to know and follow
The Bible says there are two laws, the text I quoted confirms that.

The Law (letter) pointed to Jesus. Luke 24:44-46
Rom 10:4..Christ is the end of the Law...

20 million + ! Wow. I don't even really use that site any more.

There are MANY sites like that, offering FREE images to anyone who wants to use them.

One time I was looking at just a specific type of flower.

They had over 2,000 images of whatever type it was (roses, perhaps).

That was just one site, one type of flower. Imagine the staggering number
total on the web made freely available to those who are looking for such.

Taken out of context and in complete contradiction to what Jesus taught and lived.
I don't think worshipping other gods, using God's holy name in vain, committing murder, stealing or breaking the least of these commandments is what Paul had in mind when he said this. Nor does it reconcile with the rest of his teaching or Jesus,

I would show you the context if I thought it would make a difference, but I think we are past that point.

Take care, I wish you well.

Here is what Jill Wellington has on her pixabay profile:

I am a portrait photographer in Michigan, and happily share my hard work so others can find and use my photos
for FREE! Do not use a photo with a face commercially without contacting me. Please DO NOT SELL my images


I saved a lot of her beautiful images to use as backgrounds (no faces from her, she is using real people
and photos and not AI generated images like many others do). So many I started putting her initials in
the file name so I would know it was from her, even though I might recognize it as such anyways.
I thought of doing a vertical Psalms' series and I did a few with her images. Like this one:



Psalm 11:5-7

That's the end of your Q&A.
I spend a lot of time dealing with an array of different churches.

Each church organization has there own bag of doctrine, their own interpretation.

That's why the debates are never ending.

No one want's to boast in Christ.

It seems the crucifixion and the resurrection of Jesus are not enough for most.

Remember
One law was introduced because of sin..
One defines sin.

The law directly from God states

Exo 20:8-11
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

This is not impossible, this is a delight.

With God's in you the Sabbath truly is a delight.
The sabbath rest in Jesus Christ is truly a delight. I hope you experience it someday. :)

Once again:
[Exo 32:16 KJV] 16 And the tables [were] the work of God, and the writing [was] the writing of God, graven upon the tables.
You keep repeating that like it means something. What was written in stone was also written in a scroll. The stone was for the ark; the scrolls were for the people, which was their law, and the 10 were part of it. One law, many commandments

Not so:
26 Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.
See
[Col 2:14 KJV] 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

Here is one I designed using for the main elements ephemera offered by Art Spark, placed within a
border set-up I made of other elements. Some people do not put borders on their images but to me
they need something on the outer edges. I used to use very complex multi-layered compositions I had
put together, and sometimes I still do that, but for the most part try to keep the border set ups simple.




Above is an early stage of the finished panel but I did not like the harsh cheeks or eyes (my addition). So I changed the face.



Finding eyes looking from the right perspective is often very challenging, as well as finding those that go best
with the facial expression overall. Sometimes I try a half a dozen or more before I find something suitable...


Finished product above after mix matching and blending ~ main background:



With original woman:



New face:



With these eyes:



They always look different on a white background from how they look in my design program
(photoshop has a charcoal gray background), so I often post a number of times to see how it
looks on the boards, before I can consider it truly finished, plus the colour and density and
overall print quality will look different under varying ambient light conditions, something
I am very sensitive to after colour correcting images as a photo lab printer for almost 50 years,
so it is necessary for me to see the panel under a number of different conditions because
I correct as much as I can so it looks good in a wide variety of light conditions. The eyes
is often the first thing I change on a face. I mostly want them looking at the viewer.
