    A day of rest is not a moral law.

    Of course you will quote Romans even though Romans is discussing the law and the Jews. Quoting from Matthew is simply quoting the law because Matthew is describing Jesus in Israel. You fail to understand the blood covenant (the law) that Israel was in contract to obey. I asked AI to flesh...

    The Jewish calendar week was first day, second day,..., day of preparation, sabbath day. Our calendar is a Roman calendar. We don't have a first day as our days have names and not numbers.

    They had this muddled reading of the scripture hammered into their minds. Of course Paul visited synagogues every sabbath up to chapter 18 in the book of Acts. Chapter 18 of Acts. When the local Jews opposed and insulted his message that Jesus was the Messiah, Paul shook out his garments and...

    I have not seen the observance of a sabbath day before Exodus 16 in the O.T. You were taught that ancient observance in the traditional church but alas, you lack the evidence in the scripture. Because the traditional church doctrine is not based on the scripture alone and it never was. I am...

    Show me where Gentiles are told to obey "the ten commandments". You must exclude Jesus talking to the Jews about their law because everyone knows the Jews were in covenant, to obey the law on pain of death. Also Davidstarr, do not use the letter to the Romans because Paul is explaining why...

    The word "Sabbath" is mentioned 9 to 10 times across distinct verses in the book of Acts, though Bible scholars debate the exact count depending on textual variants and whether repetitive weekly references (like Paul reasoning in the synagogue over multiple weeks) are factored in. [1, 2, 3] Key...

    There was NO LAW concerning the sabbath day before Exodus 16. You are terribly confused. There is a huge difference between covenant law and a divine instruction. Israel agreed to obey the law and the Gentile nations never had the law. What is it you do not understand?

    Constantine instituted a seven day week and Rome could never observe a sabbath day before 321 AD. You have probably been told that everyone obeyed the sabbath day but Constantine changed that. That is a blatant lie.

    The big lesson from Israel and their law was that Israel failed and crucified the Lord of glory. There may be a blessing here and there but the ultimate outcome was death. The house of David was left desolate.

    Are you referring to the law of Noah? Do not worship idols. Do not curse God. Do not kill. Do not commit sexual sins. Do not steal. Do not eat flesh from a live animal. Set up courts of justice.

    The purpose of the law was to condemn, to convict of sin, and that's what the law did to Israel. The law was given to Israel not to save Israel but to prepare Israel for the messiah. The law kills. Romans 7:25 So then, with my mind I serve the law of God, but with my flesh I serve the law of...

    I have no tradition and the Catholic Church with it's ten commandments is meaningless in my world. I am led by the Holy Spirit and not by the law given to Israel.

    You were specifically told to avoid sexual immorality. Telling people to not commit adultery is opening the door to all manner of sexual sin. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 For it is God’s will that you should be holy: You must abstain from sexual immorality; each of you must know how to control his...

    Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Please avoid using that generic term "God". God could be Allah, Buddha, or a Sun god. We boast in Jesus Christ and in no one else. There is no name under heaven by which we can be saved other than Jesus Christ. Genesis is a theological text and...

    We preach Christ crucified and we worship Jesus in the Spirit and that is a new covenant. The Old Covenant that YHWH established with the nation of Israel is obsolete. Gentiles were never under the law that YHWH gave to Israel only. The sabbath as a law with the penalty of death applied to...

    The sabbath law was given to Israel and not to the Romans. The law condemns and that is the purpose of the written law. The law simply announces you are dead in your sin. The law prepares you for the approaching messiah. There is only life in Jesus and that life is eternal. The sabbath law...
