The Ten Commandments were a physical law written on tables of stone. They were the Old Covenant made between God and the nation of Israel. A promise from God that if Israel would obey His laws He would bless them and make them prosper in the land He gave them. What happened? Israel could not obey the laws. It is impossible for anyone to obey these laws spiritually. They broke every one of the Ten and God finally gave them up for punishment. They ceased to become a nation but what man could not do, God did for us. He sent Jesus to obey the Law not just physically but also spiritually. Jesus outlined the spiritual aspect of the Commandments in His Sermon on the Mount. NOBODY can fulfill the spiritual aspect of the Commandments. Jesus knew this and it why He died on the cross so through faith in His death and resurrection we could be saved---not by any of our righteousness but by His righteousness.
You say you keep the Sabbath? Do you prepare all your meals on Friday so you will have something to eat during the Sabbath? If not, you broke the Sabbath. Do you stay in your home never going outside on the Sabbath? Israel was commanded to stay in their tents on the Sabbath and rest. Do you do any physical activity on the Sabbath? If so you break the Sabbath. Do you drive your car to church on the Sabbath? You broke the Sabbath.
Keeping the Sabbath is fine but it is NOT required for salvation. Adding ANYTHING as a requirement to salvation is denying the sacrifice of Jesus was not sufficient. THAT is blasphemy.
I am sorry to say, but it seems like you did not read more than perhaps one or two lines of the over 25,000 characters of Bible study written exclusively for you. If you did, then you would not say something like this as if it was new,
for that never was once insinuated in any of the three studies. In fact, even thinking to use works as a means to earn salvation, as if salvation could be earned as wages, was specifically rebuked. Dozens of verses of Scripture were all corroborated in order to show the purely Scriptural understanding of faith, works, obedience, and most importantly, love.
But your confusion, because perhaps you did read but do not quite understand the language that is used in the Bible, is in what law is being spoken of. Again, to reiterate, there is the Moral Law of the Ten Commandments, the civil law, and the ceremonial law. All of the theories that you conclude, and all of the grievances that you spoke of, are either found in the civil law, or in the ceremonial law. There is nothing grievous in the Moral Law:
Now a king is not without his government, and a government is not without its laws. Again, if you lump in the civil and ceremonial laws with the Moral Law, which is what you are doing and what the Pharisees also did, then you are denying the law of the government of God. By throwing out the Moral Law with the civil law and the ceremonial law, you are throwing the baby out with the bathwater, and in this specific case, that means that you are verily throwing out Jesus. Knowingly or not, you are rejecting His position as King of kings, as Lord of lords, as Messiah, as Christ, and are doing just as what the large majority of the Pharisees did.
If you truly seek a heart wisdom, a heart knowledge, and a heart understanding of what is written in the Word of God, then go back and prayerfully read through those three studies. Go back and discover the love of God as written in His Moral Law.
Because keeping the Moral Law is the testament, even the covenant, of love.
Ya know, this is getting OLD this going back and forth so lets be clear, YOU KEEP WHATEVER YOU THINK IS GOOD FOR YOU and I will keep doing what I READ in the New Testament written by Paul the Apostle that was taught directly by the risen Savior Jesus. OKAY!
Paul:
Jesus:
Okay, lets just say I am convinced! How do you keep the Sabbath?
