The main reason that those who want the ten commandments to be observed exactly as they are by letter in the Old Law Covenant is to have them as confidence that they are justified to claim the Old Law Sabbath is yet fully binding upon us and that God will condemn our failure to observe it exactly as was mandated in the Old Covenant.
Avinu alludes to Leviticus 16:31 in one of his threads 'TRUE BIBLICAL SABBATH, NOT MAN'S SABBATH' which he posted back on July 20, 2011.
Leviticus 16:31 “It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.”
He could have also alluded to verse 34 but he conveniently didn't.
Leviticus 16:34 “And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year. And he did as the LORD commanded Moses.”
Why did Avinu leave out verse Leviticus 16:34 in his opening post to his thread? It shows that, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Avinu is being deceptive. It is clear that verse 34 was ended in Jesus' sacrifice but for him to let that be noticed would also mean his claim that verse 31 proves the Old Law's Sabbath to be forever is highly questionable.
So, reasonably, we ought to want to know, 'How could God tell them those statutes were forever and then they turn out not to be, as in verse Leviticus 16:34?
It is because these things were told them on the basis that they did not break that Old Law Covenant and give the law reason to have to condemn them.
Deuteronomy 7:9 “Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
10 And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
11 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.
12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:
13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: …........”
