The moral law is throughout the book of the law. It is not just the ten. Unless you are going to argue in favor of incest, eating unclean animals, beastiality to name a few.
If one was only worshipping God, the very first commandment, would not be doing any of those things. Jesus demonstrated how far and wide the Ten Commandments are God's perfect law converting the soul Psa 19:7
In Matthew 22:37-40 Jesus sums up the foundation of the whole law. Much of the Old Testament law is based on fear and condemnation. I John 4:18 – “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” If we act out of love of God and neighbor in the grace of God, we are no longer controlled by the fear of punishment of the law. Godly love cannot increase sin.
Brother, I don't think you understand the significance of this evidence. The International Date Line's existence and the Sabbath in Jerusalem are evidence of the creation account in Genesis where God taught Adam and Eve to count the days of the week when He made His rest holy on the seventh day of the first week, establishing the International Date Line as evidence linked to the Sabbath in Jerusalem. The Sabbath in Jerusalem gives us the distance to the International Date Line of God's prime meridian. This evidence shows that God has been with us from the beginning and that the inspiration of His word through prophets has not been affected by human traditions. The Sabbath in Jerusalem shows that God's intelligence in writing His word is above the humans He has used to give us His word.
Arguably, all translations have some degree of paraphrasing. It's just a question of how much. This is especially true when exact word to word correspondence isn't available.
Again, true of all translations. There are varying degrees, though, yes
Is that inherently bad?
Romans 14:1 says this
Thank you for caring. I'm not getting notifications. I checked my profile and all notifications are on. Sometimes I get emails a day later.Say, Jerryyou getting notifications / alerts?
I read all that years ago. .
why would you do that when you don’t know what it says?Arguably, all translations have some degree of paraphrasing. It's just a question of how much. This is especially true when exact word to word correspondence isn't available.

Brother, have all humans throughout history known about the international date line and Jerusalem?
Why would I do what? Post Romans 14:1 in Greek? I can read it
It's a discussion forum
I did answer the question. You asked me what Romans 14:1 says. I posted it.
You too, my brother
As you read it, does Psalm 89:34 apply only to the Ten Commandments?
I doubt that.Why would I do what? Post Romans 14:1 in Greek? I can read it
This too is true as we should yield ourselves to God's instruction, not the doctrines and traditions of this world's religious system. I couldn't agree more. There are high days created by this world's religions and have been since the beginning. And there are men who consider some of these days as special, even holy. And there are men who refuse to esteem any day above another. But as Paul also teaches in the verse you referenced, "Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind". Who does Paul say to "Yield ourselves" to? This man, or another man? Or should we Yield ourselves to God and as Jesus teaches, "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and HIS Righteousness?" So then, when a man seeks the righteousness of God, does God esteem one day above another? And if I am fully persuaded that God is my Father, shall I not then adopt His "Way" over the way of this world's religions? In other words, shall we not "Turn to God" as Paul teaches?
I wrote, “I would not condemn anybody who takes this to include the Sabbath, and it doesn’t follow that the other 9 commandments are in the same category.” In my opinion, it is better to make posts short and concise, but the danger is obvious in what I just quoted. Giving good reasons to keep the Sabbath to somebody that doesn’t is not the same as telling them that they are committing a sin, even if you think they are committing a sin. In this case, the traditions of mankind are important. I live in a very Roman Catholic community. Many have put their faith in Jesus, and many have put their faith in the Roman Church, but most put their faith in both. Our neighbors are very strict on how they keep Sunday holy. I respect that, and that is why I say the Sabbath commandment is a different category. All of the other 9 commandments are intentional rejections of God’s will, but these people are trying to do God’s will. In the Torah, it is one category, but in the minds of many of our Christian brothers and sisters, it is two categories. When we get to heaven, I think we will be surprised about how many misconceptions we had in life. However, believing that Christ died for our sins and rose from the dead is central. I disagree with most denominations of Christianity, but they all contain brothers and sisters in Christ.
