The little fictions people invent end up being short-lived rabbit trails.

So then what would be an example of such pro-Sunday scholarship that pertains to the 7 point summary list just posted?

Here we have section 19 of the Westminster - and of course you already have a few posts of mine quoting the "Baptist Confession of Faith"

Westminster Confession of Faith Section 19
"Westminster Confession of Faith"
Chapter XIX
Of the Law of God
I. God gave to Adam a law, as a covenant of works, by which He bound him and all his posterity, to personal, entire, exact, and perpetual obedience, promised life upon the fulfilling, and threatened death upon the breach of it, and endued him with power and ability to keep it.

II. This law, after his fall, continued to be a perfect rule of righteousness; and, as such, was delivered by God upon Mount Sinai, in ten commandments, and written in two tables: the first four commandments containing our duty towards God; and the other six, our duty to man.
III. Besides this law, commonly called moral,

It is quite ironic that you use a "manmade confession" to prove your doctrine, when it clearly does not agree with the text of scripture.

Speaking of fiction...

Compare the text of the manmade confession to God's Word.

Exo 34:28  So he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread nor drank water. And He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments. 
(The ten commandments are the covenant written on stone tablets.)


Deu 5:1  And Moses called all Israel, and said to them: "Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your hearing today, that you may learn them and be careful to observe them. 
Deu 5:2  The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. 
Deu 5:3  The LORD did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, those who are here today, all of us who are alive. 
(The Sinai covenant was not made at an earlier time.)


Others here can clearly see the truth based on the text of scripture.

The Ten Commandments:
Exodus 20:2-17
.

The Fourth Commandment


Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the LORD made heaven and Earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath Day, and hallowed it.

[FONT=&quot]THERE HAS BEEN an awful letting-down in this country regarding the Sabbath during the last twenty-five years, and many a man has been shorn of spiritual power, like Samson, because he is not straight on this question. Can you say that you observe the Sabbath properly? You may be a professed Christian: are you obeying this commandment? Or do you neglect the house of God on the Sabbath day, and spend your time drinking and carousing in places of vice and crime, showing contempt for God and His law? Are you ready to step into the scales? Where were you last Sabbath? How did you spend it?

I honestly believe that this commandment is just as binding today as it ever was. I have talked with men who have said that it has been abrogated, but they have never been able to point to any place in the Bible where God repealed it. When Christ was on earth, He did nothing to set it aside; He freed it from the traces under which the scribes and Pharisees had put it, and gave it its true place.
"The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath." (Mark 2:27)
It is just as practicable and as necessary for men today as it ever was
- in fact, more than ever, because we live in such an intense age.

The Sabbath was binding in Eden, and it has been in force ever since. The fourth commandment begins with the word remember, showing that the Sabbath already existed when God wrote this law on the tables of stone at Sinai.
How can men claim that this one commandment has been done away with when they will admit that the other nine are still binding?

I believe that the Sabbath question today is a vital one for the whole country. It is the burning question of the present time. If you give up the Sabbath the church goes;

Moody was no doubt a good Christian man, but still a man.

He was also deceived by the doctrine that John Nelson Darby brought to America, about the time of the Civil War.

Moody is not our standard.

The 1689 Westminster Confession and later Reformed Baptist confessions built upon it claim that the 10 commandments, which they have labeled as "the Moral Law", were given to Adam before the fall. These confessions ignore Deuteronomy 5:1-3, which says otherwise.

Deuteronomy does not say that mankind could take God's name in vain and worship false Gods -- except for Jews. All such wild fictions rejected not only by the Bible, not only by Bible-Sabbath believing christians - but by your own pro-sunday scholarship.

It just does not get any easier than this.

This is irrefutable.
If someone seeks to keep and to defend man's traditions instead of YHWH'S KINGDOM, they must do what they do
regardless of YHWH'S WORD and WILL.
Every one of us used to be subject to the prince of the power of the air, and thus we all once were slaves of sin and of darkness even though we may have thought we had free choices of our own to make.
UNTIL Y'SHUA breathes on us, we remain blind, every one.

even though they were with JESUS every day).

Their claim that the ten commandants were given to Adam in the garden is not only refutable, it is pure nonsense based on what is plainly written in the text below.

You have been shown the text which proves them wrong, but you just continue to ignore it.

Exo 34:28  So he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread nor drank water. And He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.

Until you read the actual Bible. Adam and Eve do not take God's name in vain. Think about it.

God said - Abraham "Kept my Laws, My Statutes and My Commandments"


I will go with the Bible on this one.

God said - Abraham "Kept my Laws, My Statutes and My Commandments"

I will go with the Bible on this one.


Adolf Hitler's minister of propaganda said that if you tell a lie long enough, people will believe it.

Abraham did keep the commandments he was given.
Circumcision is a commandment God gave to Abraham.


Gen_17:14  And the uncircumcised male child, who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that person shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant."

Gen_17:24  Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

Gen_17:25  And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.


Paul tells us the law was "added" 430 years "later" than the promise made to Abraham "until" the seed could come to whom the promise was made.

Gal 3:17  And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect. 
Gal 3:18  For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise. 
Gal 3:19  What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator.
 

Moses tells us the Sinai covenant is the words written on stone and that it was not given earlier.

Exo 34:28  So he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread nor drank water. And He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.

 
Deu 5:1
  And Moses called all Israel, and said to them: "Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your hearing today, that you may learn them and be careful to observe them. 
Deu 5:2  The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. 
Deu 5:3  The LORD did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, those who are here today, all of us who are alive. 


You have been shown all of this text many, many, times but continue to tell the same old story, anyway.

Do you think others here will still believe the story you are attempting to spin in implying that the ten commandments were given to Abraham, when the text plainly says otherwise?

Isaiah 66 is still good for that, not to mention other passages from Isaiah, such as Isaiah 56:6, and passages from other old testament scriptures as well. There still is Jesus speaking to commandments shown in Matthew 5:18-19.
Saying gentiles won't be required to be Jews has the basis for saying it from passages such as Acts 15:19.
There is though no great basis to say Jesus was eating meat, other than interpretation that isn't certain. The perfection of Yahweh from the beginning in the creation did not have animal meat given to mankind as food. Meat for food is not part of perfection. It was permitted for food thousands of years afterward, after the global flood, and Noah's sacrifice to Yahweh, when there wasn't the abundant growth of vegetation for food, and meat mentioned since then is identified with sacrifice, which is in typifying Christ dying on our behalf, and such is fulfilled, animals don't have to die for us now. In that permission that had been given, which never was a requirement, any blood was never to be had with it, but this gets disregarded. Human desire and obsession has killing of animals continue, but this is not a virtue. It is not healthy to keep having meat, or even animal products, which I can show abundantly, with there being health problems that come from that which can be reversed with avoiding the animal products, and processed foods. It has great abuse to animals by many billions every year, it also takes up a great great deal more resources, and people are starving, and some dying, from that. There is a huge impact with harm to environments from it, and there is more emissions of greenhouse gases contributing to global warming from it. It won't always continue, scriptures show that, and it won't continue while Jesus is here when he returns.
Even while Sabbath would be a shadow, it has nothing said anywhere that Sabbaths won't continue, and when Yahweh made it holy, why wouldn't it continue? But indeed Jesus is the reality, and the rest of Sabbath, with coming to God, doesn't have reality, as always, without Jesus Christ. What is said is that none of us should judge others of us regarding these things.

bugkiller said:
NOPE!!!!! That alone is your idea. The passage would mean exactly the same if the word "Saturday or Monday" were used. The new moon in the passage evidences this.

That could only be true if the Sabbath had been meaningless, but it had been meaningful and still is, and we understand meaning from it. And meaning will be understood from new moons.
You don't understand that sacrifice was essential with Passover but it was not requiring each to eat meat, so that was a faulty conclusion.
Some translations of certain versions say that, but this understanding is not universal. It is the only verse you could have for it, after his death to show he was alive, and some manuscripts just show he took the honey to have. There is very early tradition that early followers he had became vegetarian, so in this that isn't conclusive.
The understanding there is limited with believing is only heaven, and not this world after Christ returns and reigns.
I answered how meat didn't need to be had at Passover, but personal remarks aren't called for, just say it is hard for you to understand. In heaven meat isn't had.
Yahweh did not say the Sabbath was made holy for Israel, it was just said the Sabbath is holy.

bugkiller said:
We have very different Bibles.

Maybe so or maybe not, very likely you don't look at all passages in the Bible seeing all things in context and how each is to be seen in consistency with the rest in the Bible. Interpretation can lead away from what is meant.

Open Heart said:
When there was a tabernacle or temple, it was required to actually eat the corban sacrifice. That's what a sacrifice is--a communal meal with God.

Even though sacrificing of animals was in place in old testament Israel, just having meat otherwise was not, as shown in Numbers, and sacrifice was used for showing the only way for humanity, which was fallen with lives having sin to come to Yahweh God, and have the essential faith, Christ alone providing the effective atonement, and since no animal really has to die for us, it only happens with our choices. It isn't needed, and I show reasons not to use animals with having them die.

Bob S said:
All I see in your post is a bunch of rationalization. God gave animal flesh to man after the flood. If it is so terrible then why did He do such a thing. As far as Jesus eating meat I would be very careful trying to explain that away. Your rational is irrational. Your answer about Passover didn't include any proof that some may not have partaken of the Lamb. Jesus is the Lamb and we all can either accept Him or reject Him.

12 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt, 2 “This month is to be for you the first month, the first month of your year. 3 Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamba]">[a] for his family, one for each household. 4 If any household is too small for a whole lamb, they must share one with their nearest neighbor, having taken into account the number of people there are. You are to determine the amount of lamb needed in accordance with what each person will eat. 5 The animals you choose must be year-old males without defect, and you may take them from the sheep or the goats. 6 Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the members of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight. 7 Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs. 8 That same night they are to eat the meat roasted over the fire, along with bitter herbs, and bread made without yeast. 9 Do not eat the meat raw or boiled in water, but roast it over a fire—with the head, legs and internal organs. 10 Do not leave any of it till morning; if some is left till morning, you must burn it. 11 This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste; it is the Lord’s Passover.

Do you see any dispensation for vegetarians? What does ''each person" and "They are" mean to you?

Rationalization can be the accusation of either of us. I have shown how Yahweh permitted meat, and then doing so it is disregarded. Those passages are about the sacrifice and the blood, not about each person needing to eat meat.

I do quote volumes of scripture and when you see scripture quoted in favor of God's Ten Commandments - you call it Spam.

Paul called it a ministry of death, because you are like the rich young man in Matthew chapter 19. You cannot keep it, even though you claim you have.

2Co 3:6  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. 
2Co 3:7  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, 
2Co 3:8  how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? 

Paul also calls it a covenant of bondage, because you cannot keep it.

Gal 4:24  which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar— 
Gal 4:25  for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children—



Peter called it a "yoke" because they could not keep it.

Act 15:10  Now therefore, why do you test God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? 


Joh 15:10  If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.

Paul never calls the Bible the ministry of death.

The accuser of the brethren in Revelation 12 has come down to the earth - he accuses them both night and day - according to Revelation 12.

Paul never calls the Bible the ministry of death.

The accuser of the brethren in Revelation 12 has come down to the earth - he accuses them both night and day - according to Revelation 12.

You are the master of "bait-and-switch."

I will give you that.

You knew I was referring to the Sinai covenant, but then you switched it to... "the Bible".

.


Hint - you knew the Commandments of God were in the Bible.

Paul never calls the Bible the ministry of death.

2Co 3:7  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, 
2Co 3:8  how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?


No, but he did call what was written and engraved on stones a ministry of death.

For all eternity after the cross -- "from Sabbath to Sabbath shall ALL MANKIND come before Me to worship" Is 66:23

Such that long after the cross we have this -

"what matters is KEEPING the Commandments of God" 1 Cor 7:19 for which the Bible gives no other definition other than one that as James 2 points out - includes the TEN Commandments just as Paul says in Eph 6:2 -- just as Christ says in Mark 7:6-13

I ask again --

What commandments do these NT authors quote - specifically which ones?

do they really limit themselves to just Lev 19:18 and Deut 6:5????


=========================

Matt 19
And someone came to Him and said;Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life 17 And He said to him, Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments; 18 Then he *said to Him, Which ones? And Jesus said,
You shall not commit murder;
You shall not commit adultery;
You shall not steal;
You shall not bear false witness;
19 Honor your father and mother;

and
You shall love your neighbor as yourself


"what matters is Keeping the Commandments of God" 1Cor 7:19


Matt 5
17 Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.


"do we then make void the Law of God by our faith? God forbid! In fact we ESTABLISH the LAW" Rom 3:31

What law? The Law that condemns all mankind as sinners -

Rom 3

19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

That same law - same chapter

"do we then make void the Law of God by our faith? God forbid! In fact we ESTABLISH the LAW" Rom 3:31

Note Paul says in Romans 3 that this is the Law that defines sin and condemns the entire world as sinners... that would not be "the Law about Passover". That does not condemn gentiles at all.
.

Matt 22 "On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.

Luke 16:16 "The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it."

Any part of scripture read could fall under that title.

Acts 13:15 And after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Men and brethren, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

=================================

Rom 7
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.


Rom 13
8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
9 For this,
Thou shalt not commit adultery,
Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal,
Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Thou shalt not covet;

and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.


James 2
8 If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law according to the Scripture, ou shall love your neighbor as yourself, (Lev 19:18) you are doing well.
9 But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.
11 For He who said, [/FONT]
Do not commit adultery
also said,
Do not commit murder.
Now if you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
12 So speak and so act as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty

And someone came to Him and said;Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life 17 And He said to him, Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments; 18 Then he *said to Him, Which ones? And Jesus said,

You shall not steal;
You shall not bear false witness;
19 Honor your father and mother;

and

And as Paul Harvey used to say... "the rest of the story."

The Rich Young Man

Mat 19:16  Now behold, one came and said to Him, "Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?" 

Mat 19:17  So He said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments." 

Mat 19:18  He said to Him, "Which ones?" Jesus said, " 'YOU SHALL NOT MURDER,' 'YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY,' 'YOU SHALL NOT STEAL,' 'YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS,' 

Mat 19:19  'HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER,' and, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' " 

Mat 19:20  The young man said to Him, "All these things I have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?" (The young man lied and said he had kept the commandments.)

Mat 19:21  Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me." 

Mat 19:22  But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions. 

Mat 19:23  Then Jesus said to His disciples, "Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 

Mat 19:24  And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
 

Jesus said that even though the young man claimed he had kept the commandments, it was impossible for him to enter the kingdom of God in this way.
Unless you think a camel can go through the eye of a needle.


You tell part of the story to prove your SDA doctrine, but leave out the real message of the text.

Just like the rich young man, it is impossible for any of us to enter the kingdom by keeping the commandments.
