"When God speaks of a "new" covenant, it means he has made the first one obsolete. It is now out of date and will soon disappear." (Hebrews 8:13) (NLT).
Indeed but if you do not know what the OLD COVENANT is how can you understand what the NEW COVENANT is? You mix up the shadow laws from the MOSAIC book of the covenant (Exodus 24:7) with God's eternal law (Psalms 19:9-11) that give us a knowledge of GOOD AND EVIL; SIN AND RIGHTOUESNESS (Romans 3:20; 1 John 3:4; Romans 7:7; James 2:8-11; Psalms 119:172). If God's Law is eternal how can they change (Psalms 19:9-11)?
You have left out the context again for the scripture you quote in Hebrews 8:13.
Lets have a look at what the chapter is referring to..
HEBREWS 8:1-7
[1], Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum:
We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
[2],
A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
Note the context of v13 we are talking about Jesus as our high Priest in the Heavenly Sanctuary ministering for us on our behalf.
[3],
For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: therefore it is of necessity that this man have something also to offer.
In the earthly Sanctuary sacrifices were required for forgiveness of sin
[4],
For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
Jesus is not doing this on earth but in heaven.
[5],
Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, says he, that you make all things according to the pattern showed to you in the mount.
The earthly Sanctuary was a Shadow of the heavenly that Moses made according to the pattern shown him from God.
[6],
But now has he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
Jesus has a more excellent ministry now under a BETTER COVENANT.
[7],
For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
OK NOTE WHAT LAWS ARE WE TALKING about from the OLD COVENANT was it the 10 COMMANDMENTS? OR THE MOSAIC BOOK OF THE LAW for remission of sin?
EXODUS 24 [7], And
he took the BOOK OF THE COVENANT, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD has said will we do, and be obedient.
CONTEXT is talking about the changing of the role of the high priest and the ministration of Jesus as our great high Priest and sacrifice for sin under the NEW COVENANT it's application is to the SHADOW laws of the OLD TESTAMENT from the MOSAIC BOOK OF THE COVENANT. NOT THE 10 COMMANDMENTS. These scriptures show you have taken your interpretation out of CONTEXT which is HEBREWS 8:1-7.
"But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter." (Romans 7:6).
You have lost your conext again brother..
ROMANS 7:5-7
[5], For
when we were in the flesh [SINFUL HUMAN NATURE], the passions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
[6], But now we are
delivered from the law,
being dead to that in which we were held;
that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
NOTE: v5 when we were in the FLESH [sinful human nature] we were condemned to death [the wages of sin is death Romans 6:23] v6 But NOW being delivered from the law; [How are we being deleivered from the law?] Being dead to that which has bound us. [What has bound us?] that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
v5 it is sin that has bound us we need to be dead to it to serve in newness of life under the Spirit of LOVE and not of the oldness of the letter. Being dead to that which has bound us [SIN] we have forgivness and have been delivered from the fruit of sin [DEATH] v5.
[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, you shall not covet.
"Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;" (Colossians 2:14). 20 "Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not; 22 Which all are to perish with the using; ) after the commandments and doctrines of men? 23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh." (Colossians 2:20-23). “By abolishing in His [own crucified] flesh the enmity [caused by] the Law with its decrees and ordinances [which He annulled]; that He from the two might create in Himself one new man [one new quality of humanity out of the two], so making peace.” (Ephesians 2:15) (AMPC).
Leaving out CONTEXT again brother. What is the chapter context is it the 10 Commandments of the MOSAIC BOOK of the COVENANT?
v11 Shadow law of CIRCUMCISION
v12 Shadows of Baptism
v13 Shadows of death to sin and UNCIRCUMCISION
CONTEXT is not the 10 Commandments the CONTEXT is the shadow laws from the MOSAIC BOOK of the COVENANT.
v14 Blotting out the HANDWRITING of
ORDINANCES that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
GREEK WORD MEANINGS AND WORD USE
14, “BLOTTING OUT” < G1813 ἐξαλείφωexaleipho (
ex-a-lei'-fō)
v. means to rub out, i.e. obliterate, erase>the “HANDWRITING” < G5498 χειρόγραφονcheirographon (chei-ro'-gra-fon)
n. means something hand-written (“chirograph”), a manuscript specially, a legal document > of “ORDINANCES” < G1378 δόγμα dogma (
d̮og'-ma)
n. means ordinance;
CIVIL, CEREMONIAL or ECCLIESIASTICAL laws >that was against us, WHICH WERE AGAINST , and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
The GREEK WORD meanings here in this scripture show that it follows the same CONTEXT of v11-13 is in relation to the
CEREMONIAL ORDINANCES found in the
MOSAIC BOOK of the COVENANT.
V14 Blotting out or erasing the legal
MANUSCRIPT or document of
ORDINANCES referred to here are those of the
CEREMONIAL ORDINANCES from the
MOSAIC BOOK of the COVENANT. The
GREEK word for ORDIANACE is DOGMA mean ing
THE CIVIL, CEREMONIAL and ECCLESIASTICAL ORDINANCES once again only found in the
MOSAIC BOOK of the Covenant
Can you see your errors here brother in every case so far you have taken scripture out of Context.
"The old [former] rule [commandment; regulation] is now set aside [nullified; abolished], because it was weak and useless [ineffective]." (Hebrews 7:18) (EXB).
9 “Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.” (Hebrews 9:9-10).
8 “Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.” (Hebrews 10:8-9).
Now once again are the scriptures you have provided here in HEBREWS 10 talking about God's 10 Commandments or are they talking about the MOSAIC BOOK of the COVENANT for remission of sins? Once again there is no mention of the 10 Commandments here. We are talking about the Shadow laws for remission of sins from the MOSIAC BOOK of the COVENANT.

“And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.” (Acts of the Apostles 15:1).
“But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.” (Acts of the Apostles 15:5).
“Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment” (Acts of the Apostles 15:24).
28 "For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well." (Acts of the Apostles 15:28-29).
Already addressed ACTS 15 in detail here CLICK ME. ACTS 15 topic of CONTEXT is adressing the questions "IS CIRCUMCISION A REQUIREMENT FOR SALVATION" ACTS 15:1. It is not talking about the 10 commandments but CIRCUMCISION from the MOSAIC BOOK of the law which is fulfilled in the NEW COVANANT. New gentile believers were to learn more about God in the Synagogues every Sabbath v21
The Old Covenant says this about the Sabbath: 32 "And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
34 And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him.
35 And the Lord said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.
36 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the Lord commanded Moses." (Numbers 15:32-36).
CONTEXT brother you have left it out of every scripture you have provided in your posts as has been proven to you so far by adding in the scriptures you have left out.
Your scripture is correct under the OLD COVENANT and CIVIL LAWS of ISRAEL not only were people killed for breaking God's 4th Commandment Sabbath, what you left out here is that people were killed for OPENLY breaking nearly ALL of God's 10 Commandments. For example serving other god's death penalty (Deuteronomy 13:16-18; 1 Samuel 26:19), Idolartry death pemalty (Deuteronomy 13:1-10; 17:2-5; 27:15; 7:25-26), using God's name in vain death penalty (Leviticus 24:10-17), Breaking the Sabbath, death penalty (Exodus 31:14-15; 35:2), Dishonor parents death penalty (Leviticus 20:9; Deuteronomy 21:18-21; Exodus 21:17, Murder death penalty (Exodus 21:12-14), Adultery death penalty (Leviticus 20; John 8:5), Stealing (kidnapping) death penalty Exodus 21:16, Lying death penalty (Deuteronomy 19:15-21).
Under the NEW COVENANT the wages of SIN is still the DEATH penalty although judgment is executed at the 2nd coming and final judgment (Romans 6:23; James 2:8-12; Romans 2:12-13)
So no brother those scripture do not help you.
Yet, the New Covenant says this about the Sabbath: "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:" (Colossians 2:16).
Already addressed above Colossians 2 chapter CONTEXT and topic of discussion is the laws from the MOSAIC BOOK of the COVENANT in ORDINANCES, NOT the 10 Commandments.
DETAILED SCRIPTURE REVIEW IS HERE. CLICK ME.
Read it if you disagree prove it from scripture as shown you in the liked post were your interpretation is shown to be false because you took out context from your interpretation.
So it appears things have changed. This makes sense because Hebrews 7:12 says the Law has changed.
Already show above you have taken scripture out of context in every use of scripture in this post. As shown earlier in Hebrews 10; Hebrews 7 is talking about the change in the Levitical priest hood and sanctuary laws from the MOSAIC book of the Covenant not the 10 commandments. Read the scriptures.
................
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?
...........
Now Jason the laws 2-3 posts made to you prove with scripture that your references have been taken out of Context? Hope you can see this now.
If you disagree then please adress the full content of my posts to you as I hace done for you so we can discuss it. If you cannot then we should believe the Word of God over the teachings and traditions of men that break the commandments of God. (Matthew 15:3-9)
Sorry Jason, God's WORD disagrees with you
