Re: The Law

Gman, you are showing disregard to those you are addressing. How?
You come across as accusing them of not obeying the law when they actually do. It is by God’s grace is how they obey. The pride of religion swells the head and makes one a ballooned brained nit picker looking for nits to pick for the mere pleasure of lording rightness over them poor nits. We know you love the Torah version of the Law but it is the law giver that Jlay, PaulS, Rick, Zac are saying to love more than how many nits you pick to prove one loves God.
What you fail to see is that they do keep the law. They do so by Grace and not by the letter as you appear to be advocating. After all...
2 Co 3:6, 7, 8, 9 …who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life 7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? 9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. NKJV
That is the new Sabbath rest of grace we all share in now as believers in Christ. That is the true Sabbath rest we are to enter which Hebrews 4:4, 5, 6, 9. 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16c speaks of. Therefore, at an appointed time that is not now – the true Sabbath will be back as it is written:
Isa 66:22 "For as the new heavens and the new earth Which I will make shall remain before Me," says the LORD, "So shall your descendants and your name remain. 23 And it shall come to pass That from one New Moon to another, And from one Sabbath to another, All flesh shall come to worship before Me," says the LORD." NKJV
Think for a minute and learn how to do the Texas Two Step ... Does Passover fall on the same Solar calendar day each year? Does your own birthday? The answer is no and same goes for the Sabbath.
Now, taking a solar calendar year that commemorates the pagan Roman god of agriculture – Saturn and turning it into a Jewish work holiday – is that sin? Shouldn’t you be advocating to Congress to change the pagan name Saturday to something else to be righteous in God's sight? Shouldn't you actually count the days, one at a time per Lunar year, in order to honor the Sabbath as was once done -than to condemn folks for not honoring a day commemorating the pagan Roman god of agriculture?
The law exposes sin – does it not?
The true Sabbath will be restored in the days of the New Heavens/Earth. For now, everyone breaks it, that includes you; therefore, Thank You Lord for sending Jesus to heal us for that violation and saving us by grace, not by our nit picking works, least anyone should boast in their collection of nits. So we can now serve in the newness of the Spirit a day of rest prescribed as a shadow of the true restored one later to come…
No wonder Paul wrote the following:
Col 2:16, 17, "So don't let anyone judge you because of what you eat or drink. Don't let anyone judge you about holy days. I'm talking about special feasts and New Moons and Sabbath days. 17 They are only a shadow of the things that were going to come. But what is real is found in Christ." NIrV
