I'm asking you if you think anybody on this earth today is still under the covenant God made between himself and Israel.
The new covenant to him just seems to be the 10 commandments from the old covenant law re-packaged (with a heavy emphasis on the 4th commandment)
no, i will not be repenting of believing Scripture as written and not believing man's ( yours) opinions.
that is key to their beliefs - they do not recognize the Mosaic Covenant being between God and Israel.
they think it is all inclusive, for the whole world.
Dr. Frank Turek has some interesting videos on YouTube with regards to the commandant of keeping the Sabbath holy. If you get a chance, check them out. He also has other material that is really good if you’re into Christian apologetics.
just an aside, this is kind of bad language.
Jesus is -- He's not in past tense.
in John 5:17 He is
So work on sabbath is fine, right?
Doesn't sound like 'letter of the law' to me.
Colossians 3:23-24
And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
Following this, what is 'not fine' on the sabbath - if we were under law - anything?
Anything different about Tuesdays?
Jesus says the Father is working. As though the 'rest' on the Genesis 7th day isn't something God does every seventh day but was peculiar to creation.
Shouldn't we emulate Him? How?
REVELATION 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here [are] they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
22:14 Blessed [are] they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
22:15 For without [are] dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, [and] the bright and morning star.
22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Ether you don't believe all the BIBLE, or you think that you can pick out just what you like, Ether way I stll hope you do repent And obey GOD'S Commandments, They wouldn't be Commandments unless we HAD to KEEP THEM
IGOT THE true word of GOD and that is enough for me, Satan is working to destroy GOD'S commandments, Satan knows that if HE can GET US to BREAK GOD'S commandments, that WE will not be aloud in Heaven for doing the same thing that HE done to GET throwed out of Heaven, And GOD does not Change,
and i hope come to fully trust Christ for salvation, and stop pushing " keep the Sabbath to be part of the Kingdom" garbage.
missing the point.
the center of a Christian's belief system should be Jesus.
if the center of a belief system is something else, like yours is the Sabbath, then that is a invalid system.
Jesus saves, the Sabbath does not.
Your argument is circular. While you raise a reasonable point that "without law, there is no sin", you are overlooking Romans 5:13 which says, "To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no law."
