In Deuteronomy 5:31-33, Moses wrote down everything that God spoke to him without departing from it, so I have been promoting that we should follow God's Word while you are refusing to accept it. In Matthew 4:4, Jesus also said that man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God, so again I have promoting that we should allow God's Word while you are refusing to accept it. You are refusing to submit to what God has spoke, so you are the one who is taking the position that you know better than God. If you think that the position that we should live by every word that comes from the mouth of God is leading people astray, then you are taking the position that God is leading us astray.
Christ spent his ministry teaching his followers to obey the Law of Moses by word and by example, so the topic that they were debating in Acts 15 was not whether followers of Christ should follow Christ but whether salvation is circumcision (Acts 15:1) or by grace (Acts 15:11). In Matthew 4:15-23, Jesus began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, which was a light to the Gentiles, and the Law of Moses was how his audience knew what sin is, so repenting from our disobedience to it is a central part of the Gospel message that Peter argued that Gentiles had heard and believed in Acts 15:6-7, so he was agreeing who the Pharisees from among the believers in Acts 15:5 against then men from Judea (Acts 15:1). In Ezekiel 36:26-27, God will take away our hearts of stone, give us hearts of flesh, and send His Spirit to lead us in obedience to the Law of Moses, which is in accordance with Peter arguing in Acts 15:8-9 that Gentiles had received the Spirit and had their hearts cleansed, so again he was agreeing with the Pharisees. In Psalm 119:29-30, he wanted to put false ways far from him, for God to be gracious to him by teaching him to obey the Law of Moses, and he chose the way of faith by setting it before him, so has always been the one and only way of salvation by grace through faith, which is in accordance with what Peter argued in Acts 15:10-11 that Gentiles are saved by grace just as we are, so again, he came down firmly on the side of with the Pharisees.
So the heavy burden that no one could bear was not the Law of Moses but a means of salvation that is an alternative to salvation by grace, namely salvation by circumcision. In Romans 10:5-8, Paul referred to Deuteronomy 30 as the word of faith that we proclaim in regard to the righteousness that is by faith proclaiming that the Law of Moses is not too difficult for us to obey and that obedience to it brings life and a blessing while disobedience brings death and a curse, so chose life! If Acts 15:10 had been referring to the Law of Moses, then they would have been denying what Paul said is the word of faith that we proclaim, they would have been in direct disagreement with God, and they would have been ruling that Gentiles should choose death and a curse instead of life and a blessing. In 1 John 5:3, to love God is to obey His commandments, which are not burdensome, so if. Acts 15:10 had been referring to the Law of Moses, then they would have been ruling that Gentiles should not love God and they would have been denying that God's commandments are not burdensome. The Psalms express an extremely positive view of obeying the Law of Moses, such as with David repeatedly saying that he loved it and delighted in obeying it, so if Acts 15:10 had been referring to the Mosaic Law, then they would have been expressing a view that is incompatible with the view that the Psalms are Scripture.
You are deceived. David loved God's law so much that he committed adultery and murder. That's one of God's elite, a man after God's heart. Read Acts 15 again. Maybe you will get it. I doubt it, you are too far gone.
The issue of the difference between those two covenants is astronomical.
For some obscure reason many people do not understand that the new covenant is a
divine covenant. God Himself granted eternal life to anyone who called on His name.
The new covenant is faith based where as the old covenant was strictly obedience based.
The old covenant enabled the acquisition of real estate and that's about it.
The new covenant granted immortality as a free gift.
The new covenant fulfilled all things for eternity for us.
How can anyone combine two completely different covenants?
The old covenant was cancelled but the new covenant is forever.
The old covenant was a conditional covenant conditional on obedience to the law.
The law does not deliver a divine righteousness and never did.
I still don't understand what your saying?
Does circumcision turn a Gentile into a Jew???
Look Soyeong, Rome had both Jews and Gentiles.
That was the problem, the Jews were judging the Gentiles because they knew the law
and they knew God. The Gentiles knew nothing about Israel, the law, the temple, sacrifices,
nor the history of Israel.
The Jews were a real problem for Paul because they would corrupt the Roman church.
Paul had to take the Jews on and explain why the law does not grant righteouness.
Paul had to explain in depth why grace and faith mattered.
Jesus said Heaven and earth will pass away before the law . So the law is obviously still valid . When heaven and earth do pass away its judgement time by the law . The problem is the flesh cannot keep the law , but the Spirit of God can . So the necessity of the Holy Spirit makes it possible to keep the law and love God in Spirit and truth . It’s the flesh that’s weak . Not the Spirit of God . Thanks be to God for his gift of the Holy Spirit .
If a Gentile wants to convert to being a Jew, then part of the process involves them becoming circumcised, though circumcision does not automatically make someone a Jew. For example, roughly 70% of the men in the US were circumcised as babies, but that doesn't make someone a Jew.
I take the positions that followers of Christ should follow his example of obedience to what God has commanded, that servants of God should not be interpreted as speaking against following what God has spoken, and that the Apostles should not be interpreted as expressing views that are contrary to what they considered to be Scripture, but if you think that there is something wrong with this, then perhaps there is something wrong with how you comprehend the text.
Indeed, Romans had both Jews and Gentiles and there were Jews that Paul had a problem with, but in Romans 2:17 he was addressing Gentiles who had converted to being Jews and were now calling themselves Jews.
Paul should be understood in the context of a Jew who practiced Judaism, not as being opposed to it. If you go to Jewish websites, then you can see teachings about grace, faith, and righteousness, so these are not concepts that got invented by Paul in the NT.
The way to have the gift of eternal life is the same under the New Covenant as the Mosaic Covenant. The Mosaic Covenant is also faith based while the New Covenant is also works based. The New Covenant still involves following the Mosaic Law (Jeremiah 31:33). We can't earn our righteousness even as the result of having perfect obedience to the Mosaic Law because it was never given as a way of earning our righteousness in the first place (Romans 4:1-5), but rather it was given to describe the life of someone who is righteous as it describes the life of Christ, so it was what we get to become a doer of by being given the gift of righteousness through faith (1 John 3:4-7).
You are opposed to following Christ's example of obedience to what God has commanded and you think that I am the one who is deceived? In Deuteronomy 13, the way that God instructed to determine that someone is a false prophet is if they speak against obeying the Mosaic Law, so if is either incorrect for you to interpret the Jerusalem Council as doing that or they were false prophets, but either way followers of Christ should follow his example of obedience to what God has commanded. The Mosaic Law is truth (Psalms 119:142), so you are the one who is decided because you are the one who is opposed to following what the Bible says is truth. David did not commit adultery and murder because of his love for God.
Baffling from start to finish.
Here is a simple verse.
Tell me if you believe it or not.
Romans 10:13
Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Sure, Gentiles can become Jews. There is provision in the OT for that. Why would they? Why embrace a covenant that brings death when you could enjoy the covenant of new life? Of course, you prefer the covenant of death, but that's your choice.
I disagree
He fulfilled all the law and magnified the truth
Do we make void the Law?
It depends on which one.
Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Col 2:14 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;
Eph 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
Jas 2:12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
1Jn 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
We are told to keep the law and commandments of God in some verses but we are also told the a law was nailed to the cross.
2 different laws.

2 different laws.
This is what I disagree with in my earlier post..
There are 2 laws. one was removed because we no longer need a shadow or school master. We have the real deal.
One was not removed because it is the moral principles of God's character and the definition of sin.
The law has no power to save us or make us righteous but it helps us to know what iniquity is.
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Tit 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Without the right law defining Sin you will find yourself unknowingly practicing iniquity.
You and I both know that's not true and more importantly God knows. There is nothing we can hide from Him. Ecc12:13-14. Even when you took a Scripture and isolated it from the context and I asked you to explain by the same passage which law its referring to you refused. I am happy to back up what I post with Scripture if asked.
Feel free to respond to my post directly to you, one of many, not just posting a verse without the context but really going through it and explanting it by Scripture from a very long Bible study. Its easy to make accusations, sadly too many focus on that over what the Scriptures really say in its context.
There are several different Sabbaths in the Bible that uses the same word, but has very different meanings.
There is the seventh day Sabbath- instituted at Creation Exo20:11 Gen2:1-3, came before sin, reaffirmed in the Ten Commandments Exo20:8-11, written by God personally Exo31:18, placed inside God’s ark Exo40:20 God called it “the holy day of the Lord” Isa58:13
There are the annual sabbath(s) feast days that are always tied to animal sacrifices, they don’t always fall on the seventh day can be on any day and came after the fall and were handwritten by Moses, placed besides the ark of God’s covenant came after sin.
- 1st day of Unleavened Bread
- 7th day of Unleavened Bread
- Pentecost
- Trumpets
- Day of Atonement
- 1st day of Tabernacles
- 8th day of Tabernacles
So I think we are being quick to assume by seeing the word Sabbath that has different meanings and assuming it means the Holy Day of the Lord that comes with God's blessing and sanctification , without looking at the context that Paul carefully gave and we should let the Bible interpret itself.
Col 2:14 KJV 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.
Col 2:14 NASB having canceled the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
Greek word for handwriting: χειρόγραφον (cheirographon)
Literally: “something written by hand
Ordinances
τοῖς δόγμασιν (tois dogmasin)
Meaning: “decrees,” “regulations,” “legal demands”
It is a legal document that condemns sinners why Paul used the word “against us” and “contrary to us”. The law does not condemn the righteous, it condemns the sinners.
Just from this context that Paul gave we can eliminate the Ten Commandments, but lets let Scripture interpret Scripture.
Who wrote the handwritten ordinances?
2 Chron 33:8 and I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land which I have appointed for your fathers—only if they are careful to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.
What law is the law that was contrary and against?
Deut 31:24-26 So it was, when Moses had completed writing the words of this law in a book, when they were finished, 25 that Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying: 26 “Take this Book of the Law, and put it beside the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there as a witness against you;
It appears from the text that this is not referring to the Sabbath in the Ten Commandments that was written by God Himself by His finger Exo31:18 placed inside the ark of the covenant, not besides like the annual sabbath(s) connected to animal sacrifices.
This is the law that was taken away at the Cross.
Col 2:16 let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
This is the exact language referring to the annual sabbath(s) that were handwritten by Moses, placed besides the ark that refer to annual feasts days, sacrifices and offerings that some were also called sabbath(s)
Eze 45:17 and it shall be the prince's part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel.
What did Jesus say He would come to put an end to? (compared to magnifying another law- by placing it in our hearts Isa42:21 Heb8:10)
Dan 9:27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week;
But in the middle of the week
He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.
Col 2:17 which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ
What are the shadows laws? Lets let the Scriptures define what they are
Heb 10:1 For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once []purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.
5 Therefore, when He came into the world, He said:
“Sacrifice and offering You did not desire,
But a body You have prepared for Me.
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin
You had no pleasure.
7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come—
In the volume of the book it is written of Me—
To do Your will, O God.’ ”
8 Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the law), 9 then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, []O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second. 10 By that will we have been []sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all
This fits the context of this passage perfectly and makes the Bible harmonize because we see Sabbath-keeping (every Sabbath) 30+ years after the Cross just as Jesus Himself indicated Isa 56:6-7 Acts 13:42, Acts 13:44 Acts 15:21 Acts 18:4 and up to His Second Coming Mat24:20-30 and forever Isa66:22-23
I refer you to Acts chapter 15. Your denial of God's word leaves you in bondage. the law of Moses has no application to Gentile believers. I live by the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ my King. Lord Jesus does not require me to attend church on Saturday. If you wish to observe before the sunset on Friday to after sunset Saturday, good for you. You have no right to try to impose laws intended for Israel on gentile believers. Remember what God said? "Hear O Israel".You and I both know that's not true and more importantly God knows. There is nothing we can hide from Him. Ecc12:13-14. Even when you took a Scripture and isolated it from the context and I asked you to explain by the same passage which law its referring to you refused. I am happy to back up what I post with Scripture if asked.

We see these in Leviticus 23 and these are additional feasts besides the Sabbath of the Lord- the seventh day Sabbath Lev 23:37-38
- 1st day of Unleavened Bread
- 7th day of Unleavened Bread
- Pentecost
- Trumpets
- Day of Atonement

You should also be circumcised, offer sacrifices in the temple and obey God's food laws. Then you could be a good sabbath keeper and obey the law of Moses. You will also live a life that cannot please God. You will not be justified. Your sins will not be forgiven. If you are born again, then you will not be sent to hell. You will not receive the blessings of the Kingdom that God has in store for those who are devoted to Christ
If you are not born again, none of your religious gymnastics will save you.
In the council for the Gentiles they were keeping already keeping every Sabbath Acts 15:21 because its a commandment of God, not the law of Moses like circumcision.
I know this is a popular belief outside of Scripture that the Sabbath is for Jews only, but its not one can find in our Bibles. If one really studies the word of God and makes that the light to their path Psa 119:105 will see plainly how God gave the Sabbath as a gift to all humanity, but sadly most choose not to accept it. Most of the Sabbath Scriptures was spoken directly from God. Its not that He did not make Himself clear- it comes down to our belief in what He says over what popular man is teaching us.
The Sabbath is grounded in Creation, when God made everything according to His perfect plan, before sin, before Jew, before Israel, before Moses. Just Creation and His gift for man after everything was made - God rested on the Sabbath day made for man Mark2:27 to also rest with God Heb4:10.
Exo 20:11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
Heb4:3 For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said:“So I swore in My wrath,‘They shall not enter My rest,’ ”
although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works
God made the seventh day and the Sabbath day interchangeable. Why we see Sabbath keeping before it was codified in the Testimony of God- His Ten Commandments. Exo16:26
In the Sabbath commandment itself has a provision for everyone
Exo 20:8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
Jesus said the Sabbath was made for mankind
Mark 2:27 And He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.
anthrópos: Man, human, person, mankind- which is not the word for Jew.
Jesus is LORD of the Sabbath Day Mark-2:28 which means someone else is lording the first day not Jesus. Dan7:25
Why did God make the Sabbath for mankind?
Because He wants to spend time with us, on the day He set aside from Creation so we never forget our Creator Exo20:11, the only God we are called to worship Rev14:7 , who made us and wants to spend holy time with His creation on the only day He blessed and sactified to do so, He wants to bless Isa 56:2 and sanctify us Eze20:12 us because we can't do this ourselves Isa66:17.
Isa 56:2 Blessed is the man who does this,
And the son of man who lays hold on it;
Who keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
And keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
Man cannot take away something God blesses, we can only forfeit our own blessing God is trying to give us.
God invites everyone to join themselves to the LORD to serve Him- will we listen to God and tune out what man says, or join ourselves to someone else and serve someone else.
Isa 56:6 “Also the sons of the foreigner
Who join themselves to the Lord, to serve Him,
And to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants—
Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
And holds fast My covenant—
Whoever we obey is who we serve
Rom 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
God invites us to join ourselves to Him and serve Him, every Scripture I posted about the Sabbath was a thus saith the LORD. Invited for everyone....
Will we serve the Lord and join ourselves to Him or follow what is popular with man.
Rev 7:3 saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”
Rev 23:3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.
I believe it.
Why do you think that you need to be saved from not living in obedience to the Mosaic Law if you also think that you have no need to refrain from not living in obedience to it?
Everyone needs a day of rest. Which day is not important. Paul said as much to the Colossians. I refer you to Acts 15 once again.
