Agreed but according to the scriptures the new covenant includes all of God's 10 commandments but does not includes the "shadow laws" of the Mosaic book of the covenant's

"Shadow Laws" (not an established Christian concept) are not excluded. They have been replaced by the golden rule. But "Shadow Laws" are not a thing anyway.

Matthew 7:12

“So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

Carefully read these scriptures if you are not aware of them...

2 Peter 3:3-4 [3], Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, [4], And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

He was referring to living people when he wrote that. People were expecting the last days within their lifetime.

However, the scripture also speaks of sin being "anything not of faith" (Romans 14) and not transgressing the commandments is summed up by "not harming your neighbor" and "loving your neighbor as yourself" (Romans 13)

Sin is also disassociated as an entity in the same letter (Romans 7) in that Paul states "it is no longer I who sin but the sin within me that sins"

So the idea that it is transgressing a list of offenses is dimensionally lacking in definition.

Not providing all of the information in favor of a bias, is what skewing is.

Thanks Micheal but I already posted that sin is breaking anyone of God's 10 commandments and not believing and following what Gods' Word says (see James 2:10-11; 1 John 3:4; Romans 14:23; Romans 3:20; Romans 7:7), so I do not really know what your argument is here.

Take Care.

again here..

Then we have Gods' Word that say...
  • 2 Peter 3:3-4 [3], Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, [4], And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
  • 2 Peter 3:8-11 [8], But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.[9], The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. [10], But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. [11], Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
  • 1 Thessalonians 5:[2], For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.[3], For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes on them, as travail on a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

Here is the rest of the post and the scriptures that define what sin is.

SIN IS THE BREAKING OF ANYONE OF GOD'S 10 COMMANDMENTS AND NOT BELIEVING AND FOLLOWING WHAT GOD'S WORD SAYS.

"Sin is defined in the bible as breaking anyone of God's 10 commandments *James 2:10-11; 1 John 3:4; Romans 7:7 and not believing and following what God's Word says *Romans 14:23."

Sin is breaking anyone of Gods' 10 commandments and not believing what Gods' Word says.
  • James 2:10-11 [10], For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. [11], For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if you commit no adultery, yet if you kill, you are become a transgressor of the law.
  • 1 John 3:4 [4], Whoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
  • Romans 14:23 ..... whatsoever is not of faith is sin
...............

God's Word does not teach lawlessness (without law or no law) as it is through the law we have a knowledge of what sin is *Romans 3:20; Romans 7:7 in the new covenant.

Take Care.

It was already defined.

The Shadow Law is obsolete.

Romans 7:6
But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and

not in the old way of the written code.

Hebrews 8:13
In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

THE CHANGING OF GOD'S 4TH COMMANDMENT TO SUNDAY WORSHIP.

Here are some interesting historical references you might find interesting that clear up a few misconception people may have about Sunday worship entering the Roman empire and the early Church....

Historically, Constantine did not change the day of worship as many claim. According to the historical records, Constantine made a civil Sunday law that the Roman Catholic Church adopted in order to practice and promote Sunday worship over the Sabbath of God's 4th commandment...

First Sunday Law enacted by Emperor Constantine - March, 321 A.D.

On the venerable Day of the Sun let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed. In the country, however, persons engaged in agriculture may freely and lawfully continue their pursuits; because it often happens that another day is not so suitable for grain-sowing or for vine-planting; lest by neglecting the proper moment for such operations the bounty of heaven should be lost. (Given the 7th day of March, Crispus and Constantine being consuls each of them for the second time [A.D. 321].)” Source: Codex Justinianus, lib. 3, tit. 12, 3; trans. in Philip Schaff, History of the Christian Church, Vol.3 (5th ed.; New York: Scribner, 1902), p.380, note 1.

Now a professed Christian, Constantine nevertheless remained a devout sun worshipper. “The sun was universally celebrated as the invincible guide and protector of Constantine,” notes Edward Gibbon in his classic Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, ch. xx, par. 3.

Constantine even printed coins which “bore on the one side the letters of the name of Christ, on the other the figure of the sun god.” Arthur P. Stanley, History of the Eastern Church, lect. vi, par. 14.

Again, Constantine’s promotion of Sunday observance was part of his definite strategy to combine paganism with Christianity: “The retention of the old pagan name of dies Solis, or 'Sunday,' for the weekly Christian festival, is in great measure owing to the union of pagan and Christian sentiment with which the first day of the week was recommended by Constantine to his subjects, pagan and Christian alike, as the ‘venerable day of the Sun.’” – Stanley’s History of the Eastern Church, p. 184.

In spite of the rising popularity of Sunday sacredness, Church historian Socrates Scholasticus (5th century) wrote: “For although almost all churches throughout the world celebrate the sacred mysteries [of the Lord's Supper] on the Sabbath of every week, yet the Christians of Alexandria and at Rome, on account of some ancient tradition, have ceased to do this.” – Socrates Scholasticus, Ecclesiastical History, Book 5, ch. 22.

Another historian also confirmed this by stating, “The people of Constantinople, and almost everywhere, assemble together on the Sabbath, as well as on the first day of the week, which custom is never observed at Rome or at Alexandria.” – Sozomen, Ecclesiastical History, Book 7, ch. 19. Thus even in the 5th century, Sabbath keeping was universally prevalent (except in Rome and Alexandria) along with Sunday keeping. Many Christians kept both days, but as the centuries wore on, Sunday keeping grew in prominence and especially within Roman Catholic territories.

In 330 A.D., Constantine moved his capital from Rome to Constantinople (modern Istanbul), thus preparing the way for the Roman Catholic Popes to reign in Rome as the successors of Constantine. As the Papal Church grew in power, it opposed Sabbath observance in favour of Sunday sacredness and made the day change official in the Council of Laodicea (A.D. 363-364). Constantine's law had now been fully integrated into the Papal Church and the final step of the Sabbath to Sunday change was complete.

So around the year A.D. 364, the Catholic Church outlawed Sabbath keeping in the Council of Laodicea when they decreed 59 Canon laws. The following is the relevant Canon law: Canon XXIX:Christians must not judaize by resting on the Sabbath, but must work on that day, rather honouring the Lord's Day; and, if they can, resting then as Christians. But if any shall be found to be judaizers, let them be anathema from Christ.” (Percival Translation).

Four hundred years after the death of Christ and one hundred years after Constantine's linking of Church and State by his Sunday law edict, Rome and Alexandria were the only places in the world where many of the Christians kept only Sunday and not the true Sabbath. Why was it that Rome and Alexandria were also the first locations that Sunday worship began? Because this is where the pagan practices of Babylon eventually landed after it was conquered. And what was the dominant pagan practice that the Babylonian priests brought with them? Sun worship which was done on Sun-day! See the history of Sunday worship for more detail.

So one can understand why Rome and Alexandria did not bother to keep the true Sabbath as they had not done so for 200 years. Throughout the entire history of the changeover from Sabbath to Sunday, Rome and Alexandria had worked together. Alexandria provided the philosophical reasons for the changes and Rome provided the decrees and anathemas. Constantine's help was given only to the worldly Church leaders at Rome and those Christians that resisted the errors that were being introduced into the Church met with his opposition. “Unite with the bishop of Rome or be destroyed,” was Constantine's position.

Great as were the favors which Constantine showed to the church, they were only for that strong, close-knit, hierarchically organized portion that called itself Catholic. The various [so-called] heretical sects could look for no bounty from his hands.” – Williston Walker, A History of the Christian Church, page 105.

The change of the Sabbath to Sunday was totally completed by the seventh century as the Popes consolidating their enormous power persecuted all who resisted their innovations. Did Satan use Constantine to play a key part in his plan to change the Sabbath to his day being Sunday? The answer is clear! From sun worship 2000 B.C., to Sunday worship in the Church. Satan infiltrated the Christian Church and most are oblivious to the fact that this has happened or understand the relevance. Sunday or “dies solis”, the day of the sun came from Satan worship and is his day. (more from here).

God bless

The day of rest has been changed to Jesus. You may rest in Him any day, any time now.

If you choose a special day, that is tolerated, but special days are intended to go away.


Besides. It's not the same day, not the same year, not the same anything. It's just a day that you deem "holy" that follows an original day. The day is not significant other than what bow you place on it.

2. Where does it say in the scriptures that Sunday is "the Lords day"?
We see here a common strategy in debates on this and other sites - the effort to illicitly restrict what counts as Biblical evidence to "a verse".

This does great injustice to the Scriptures - it effectively muzzles Scripture from speaking to us through the mechanism of narrative.

And scripture is nothing if not narrative.

Yes, there is no "text" that says Sunday is the Lord's day. But let him with ears, hear and him with eyes, see.

Jesus rises on a Sunday! Paul clearly interprets this as evidence of a new creation that leaves the old creation behind! Why honour the old work of God when a new work has begun?

Now, we are not, hopefully, children - there is no "verse" that tells us that Sunday effectively replaces Saturday, but it is there for all to see in the flow of the overall redemption narrative.

The Sabbath was signpost, looking forward to the true Sabbath - Jesus:

Come to me all who are heavy-laden and I will give you rest.

There is no scripture stating that Jesus is our Sabbath and that we no longer have to keep the Sabbath commandment. I see you didn't provide that scripture either.

According God's written and spoken Word, the Sabbath is the day to keep holy. And that day is the seventh day, not everyday.

Exodus 20:8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

....sin is breaking anyone of God's 10 commandments and not believing and following what Gods' Word says (see James 2:10-11; 1 John 3:4; Romans 14:23; Romans 3:20; Romans 7:7), so I do not really know what your argument is here.
Let's talk about Romans 3:20.

Early in the chapter, Paul writes this:

Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the benefit of circumcision? 2 Great in every respect. First, that they were entrusted with the actual words of God.

I think we will all agree that this is a reference to the giving of the Law (including the 10). More importantly, it is a hint of what is to come - the entire chapter is, among other things, retelling the history of Israel up to and including Jesus.

Now for the key stuff:

because by the works of the Law none of mankind will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes knowledge of sin. 21 But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 but it is the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ

No writer with his head screwed on would use "but now" wording if they are not telling us something has changed - Paul knows what the word "but" means and he knows what the word "now" means.

Those who believe the 10 continue to serve in this role of informing us of sin, of course, will not talk about the "but now" wording - the evidence is here in these threads (they refuse to directly address this issue and instead dance creatively).

Instead, I suggest, they plop down a reference to 3:20 and hope you will not investigate......

There is no scripture stating that Jesus is our Sabbath
Is there any scripture directly asserting the theology of the Trinity?

Again we see the same strategy - try to protect a particular view from criticism by illegitimately restricting what "counts" as Biblical to simple proof texts.

"Shadow Laws" (not an known Christian concept) are not excluded. They have been replaced by the golden rule. But "Shadow Laws" are not a thing anyway.

Matthew 7:12

“So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
Good point, that Shadow laws are not a thing.

There are three passages that are usually brought up when talking about shadows. One in Colossians and two in Hebrews.
BibleGateway - Keyword Search: Shadow

Those passages say that things like feast days and the ark are shadows, and that the law has a shadow.

None of them say that the law is a shadow or that some laws are shadows imo.

Thanks Micheal but your only repeating what I already posted that sin is breaking anyone of God's 10 commandments and not believing and following what Gods' Word says (see James 2:10-11; 1 John 3:4; Romans 14:23; Romans 3:20; Romans 7:7), so I do not really know what your argument is here.

Take Care.
Anything that is not of faith is sin, actually encompasses a wider scope than the 10 commandments.

Sin as an entity that can take on blame for corruption in the creation, and malfunctions, goes beyond the scope of the 10 commandments.

Love not harming others as a summary of any commandment (of the 10 commandments or not) is beyond the scope of the 10 commandments.

We are not talking about the same thing. Making the 10 commandments the central focus limits severely the true Christian understanding of sin.
This focus is a lie that needs to be unlearned in regards to understanding the bible correctly.

And "Shadow Law" still does not exist.
Well I prefer what the scriptures actually say here...
  • Hebrews 10:1-5
    [1], For THE LAW HAVING A SHADOW OF GOOD THINGS TO COME, and not the very image of the things, can never WITH THOSE SACRIFICES WHICH THEY OFFERED YEAR BY YEAR continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
    [2], For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshipers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
    [3], But IN THOSE SACRIFICES there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
    [4], For IT IS NOT POSSIBLE THAT THE BLOOD OF BULLS AND OF GOATS should take away sins.
    [5], Why when he comes into the world, he said, SACRIFICE AND OFFERING you would not, but a body have you prepared me.
    [6], IN BURNT OFFERINGS AND SACRIFICES FOR SIN you have had no pleasure.
    [7], Then said I, SEE, I COME IN THE VOLUME OF THE BOOK IT IS WRITTEN OF ME, TO DO YOUR WILL, O GOD.
    [8], Above when he said, SACRIFICE AND OFFERING AND BURNT OFFERINGS AND OFFERING FOR SIN YOU WOULD NOT, neither had pleasure therein; WHICH ARE OFFERED BY THE LAW;
    [9], Then said he, See, I come to do your will, O God. HE TAKES AWAY THE FIRST, THAT HE MAY ESTABLISH THE SECOND.

What you believe is between you and God. I prefer the scriptures because only God's Word us true and we should believe and follow them *Romans 3:4; Acts of the Apostles 5:29.

Take Care now.

Of course we are including Gods' 4th commandment which is one of God's 10 commandments that give us a knowledge of what sin is when broken (Exodus 20:8-11) and I have already provided the scriptures from the beginning of this thread that not believing and following what Gods 'Word says is sin.

"Sin is defined in the bible as breaking anyone of God's 10 commandments *James 2:10-11; 1 John 3:4; Romans 7:7 and not believing and following what God's Word says *Romans 14:23."

Sin is breaking anyone of Gods' 10 commandments and not believing what Gods' Word says.
  • James 2:10-11 [10], For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. [11], For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if you commit no adultery, yet if you kill, you are become a transgressor of the law.
  • 1 John 3:4 [4], Whoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
...............

God's Word does not teach lawlessness (without law or no law) as it is through the law we have a knowledge of what sin is *Romans 3:20; Romans 7:7 in the new covenant.

Take Care.
Your response here..
It was already defined.
Agreed I posted the scripture definitions of what sin is from the beginning.

The Shadow Law is obsolete.
Agreed. No more animal sacrifices and sin offerings as already shown in Hebrews 10:1-12
Romans 7:6 But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit
The context provided around Romans 7:6 has been provided here linked, showing from scripture that Romans 7:6 does not teach God's 10 commandments have been abolished. That teaching of lawlessness (without law or no law) that would contradict pretty much the whole bible. This is a good example of why we should not try to pull a single scripture from it's context to justify a false teaching of lawlessness (without law). This is a teaching that is not biblical or supported in the entire bible. Romans 7:6 is talking about being released from the laws sin in out members *Romans 7:5 and condemnation for breaking God's law to serve God's law in newness of the Spirit. - Context matters see the linked post.
Hebrews 8:11 In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
Agreed we are in the new covenant now not the old. No more laws of circumcision, and earthly Sanctuary laws for remission of sins from the Mosaic book of the old covenant *Exodus 24:7. Gods' 10 commandments however are all repeated and are a part of Gods' New covenant (scriptures here) that give us the knowledge of good (moral right doing when obeyed) and evil (moral wrong doing when disobeyed); sin (moral wrong doing when disobeyed) and righteousness (moral right doing when obeyed) *see Romans 3:20; Romans 7:7; 1 John 3:4; Psalms 119:172. God's Word does not teach lawlessness (without law or no law).

Take care now.

The day of rest has been changed to Jesus.
There is no scripture anywhere in the bible that says that God's 4th commandment has not been changed into Jesus. If that were true you should be able to provide scripture for your claims. There is not a single scripture in the entire bible that says Gods' seventh day Sabbath of the 10 commandments that gives us a knowledge of what sin is when broken, has been changed to Jesus. Just the same as there is not a single scripture in all of Gods' Word that says Gods' 4th commandment has now been abolished and we are now commanded to keep Sunday as a holy day of rest. These both being man-made teachings and traditions and lies that are not supported by by Gods' Word but in the teachings and traditions of men that lead us away from Gods' Word to break the commandments of God. According to the scriptures if we knowingly break anyone of Gods' 10 commandments we stand guilty before God of sin *James 2:10-11 and we know what Hebrews 10:26-27 says about those who continue in known unrepentant sin don't we.

Take Care.
