According to your line of thought; What about bestiality? It is not mentioned in the New Testament so according to your theology it is acceptable behavior with GOD now because it was not mentioned.

No; All the Laws that made Israel standout physically have been done away with in Christ. For We now have put on Christ though Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek we are all one in Christ. He in us, GOD in Him, that we may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
No dear, that is not what Gods word says. You will have no rest if you are breaking God's Commandments.
Isaiah 57
20, But the wicked (SINNERS) are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
21, There is no peace, said my God, to the wicked.
1 John 2
3, And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4, He that said, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Those who CONTINUE in KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN have no REST and will NOT enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN.

God's 4th commandment is one of the ten (Exodus 20:8-11) If we knowingly break it when God asks us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (James 2:8-12). If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness we are in danger of the Judgement (Hebrews 10:26-27)
Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has led many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (Matthew 15:3-9)
There is not one scripture in all of God's Word that says that God's 4th Commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to KEEP Sunday as a Holy day.
Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of men or the Word of God? Who should we believe the Words of men or the Word of God?
In times of ignorance God winks at but now ,<when a KNOWLEDGE of the truth has come> calls all men everywhere to REPENT (FOLLOW) (Acts 17:30-31).
Yes Really. The Word for Sabbath is plural in that text. Verse 16 starts with the word therefore. Which keeps it in context to verse 14
Having blotted out the handwriting to the ordinances that is against us, that was contrary to us, and he hath taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
It is the Sabbaths that were of the handwriting to the ordinances. The ordinances are the Decalogue and those Laws contained in the Book of the Law that showed us what righteousness is. The handwriting to them that were against us, were those laws pertaining to when we sinned not those laws that showed us what righteousness is.
Sure, no rest if we breaking the law but the way you observe sabbath is breaking the law, dear. you disparaging the gift of rest from Jesus. Jesus update or fulfill the law of rest, and you not follow either OT sabbath law, nor Jesus rest law. Repent before to late dear.

You are wrong I am afraid to say. You are interpreting scripture as you think it is and not as it actually is. Consequently you have a fabrication

No it is the context of the passage "As" is direct Comparison. So it is A Ceasing from work like GOD did from HIS. It is the calling to those who entered in their rest (the Gospel rest in Jesus in GOD) to cease from their work AS GOD did. GOD ceased from HIS work on the Seventh Day. So we in harmony with Christ and the FATHER cease from our work on the Seventh Day which is the Day HE hallowed and blessed. If HE hallowed a Day who are we to unhallow it?
Mounce writes in His concise Greek English dictionary in regards to the word rest in verse 9:
G4520
σαββατισμός sabbatismos 1x
properly a keeping of a sabbath;
"Remaineth" in the KJV in the Greek is define as follows by Mounce :
G620
ἀπολείπω apoleipō 7x
to leave, leave behind;
It is in the presence tense. The rendering of the Greek to English looks something like this, "therefore is being left a Sabbath keeping to the people of GOD"So What is the Sabbath keeping?
GOD tells us in verse 10, "For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his."
"As" is direct Comparison. So it is A Ceasing from work like GOD did from HIS. It is the calling to those who entered in their rest (the Gospel rest in Jesus in GOD) to cease from their work AS GOD did. GOD ceased from HIS work on the Seventh Day. So we in harmony with Christ and the FATHER cease from our work on the Seventh Day which is the Day HE hallowed and blessed.
So How do we keep the Sabbath? We cease from Work as GOD did from HIS on the Seventh Day which is the Sabbath. That is what GOD did and that is what those who receive the Gospel are called to do. And now because of Christ's reconciliation through the Gospel we now rest from our physically labors on the Sabbath acceptably. Our presence is not offense as was before due to unbelief (obstinate stiff neck rebellion)
For the Day is a Hallowed and blessed. GOD had made it so and so it will be through out eternity.
And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
(Isa 66:23 KJV) .
"Ceased from his own works," i.e. dead, .
Good luck trying to tell that to God come judgement day dear.

We have a New Garment to which we all wear; Christ Jesus our Lord.No; All the Laws that made Israel standout physically have been done away with in Christ. For We now have put on Christ though Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek we are all one in Christ. He in us, GOD in Him, that we may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
Besides that we now do not need to wear reminders of the Law physically or bind copies of them to us anymore. We are a new creation in Christ Jesus; behold all things are new and of God. HE has put HIS Law in our hearts, minds and mouths that we do it. Of his own will begat he us with to the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
Amen brother! We need to interpret the meaning of John's writings by comparing them with the other writings of John. The Greek word for "commandments" in Revelation 14:12 is {entole} which means "an order, command, charge, precept, injunction." The same word is used repeatedly in the writings of John to refer to the instructions of Christ. John uses an entirely different Greek word in his writings when he refers to the Ten Commandments: nomas. Example below:in 1st John., John was not talking about the 10 when he mentioned commands. you, as usual. quote chapter 2. in chapter 3 of the same letter, the same guy who wrote was is in chapter 2 writes the commands are believe in the name of the Son and love one another. nothing about Sabbath.
As was said the Context brings us to the handwriting to the ordinances that were against us, not the ordinances themselves and certainly not the Decalogue. Not all the handwriting to the ordinances were against. Most of that which is contained in the Book of the Law pertain to what righteousness is. They describe the Character of GOD and HIS Christ. They are who we are through HIM through HIS Spirit; HIS Word, His Law; HIS Christ being in our hearts, minds and mouths so we can do it.Originally Posted by lightbearer![]()

Yes, it is plural, notice the 's' on the end of days. The Jews kept all the Sabbaths, and the message is to take no notice of anyone who might judge them in meat, drink, or holydays.

Most importantly Paul is not addressing the Decalogue in Colossians. He is writing of the Book of the Law and only those writings in it that were against us. Those writings that dealt with when we sinned.
the quote has to start somewhere
the chapter and verse markings were added later anyways
In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.
*O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
34*For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
35*Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
36*For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever.

It is a conditional particle which the extant of Greek manuscripts all concur. But none of the manuscripts have a negative particle. Those translations you cited are taking a liberty they ought not take. They do it it because the feel the writer of Hebrews meant to quote Psalm 95:11 verbatim. He did not. The Word stands as is.No Your adding things that are not there and you are not addressing the points of the posts you are responding to. The text says, "As GOD did from HIS; Period.

(Heb 4:4-6)The word 'if' is future, (they haven't entered it yet), and is conditional upon whether or not people receive the Gospel. Those who don't will never enter God's rest.
The phrase "If they shall enter into my rest" appears in other translations as “They shall not enter my rest.”
(BBE) They will not come into my rest.
(CEV) "You people will never enter my place of rest!"
(ERV) "They will never enter my place of rest."
(ESV) “They shall not enter my rest.”
(ISV) "They will never enter my rest."
(LEB) 'They will never enter into my rest.'"
(MKJV) And in this place again, "They shall not enter into My rest."
(RV) and in this place again, They shall not enter into my rest.

to me, looking at one set of words and thinking it must mean the same as the other set of words isn't the right thing to do
8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
