Dear Bob,
Some comments for your consideration
You rejected the scriptures sent to you that contradict your interpretation of God's Law being temporary. So in this you reject God's Word to you. 2 Cor 3 does not say God's 10 commandments were temporary it never has and you have not been able to say anything in relation to the OP on Col 2:16 with all the Scriptures because you cannot. More scripture for you to consider in relation to your claims above.
Ps 119:160
All your words are true; all your
righteous laws are
eternal.
righteous Law from H4941; משׁפּט; mishpâṭ; mish-pawt'; =
God's Divine Law or Judgement
Psa 119:172,
My tongue shall speak of thy word: for
all thy commandments are righteousness.
righteousness from H6664; צדק; tsedeq; tseh'-dek =
Moral or Legal right
Psa 119:142,
Thy righteousness is an
everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.
everlasting from H5769; עולם עלם; ‛ôlâm ‛ôlâm; o-lawm', o-lawm' = time out of mind (past or future), that is, (practically) eternity always : - always (-s), ancient (time), continuance, eternal, (for, [n-]) ever (-lasting, -more, of old), lasting, long (time), (of) old (time), perpetual, at any time, (beginning of the) world (+ without end).
James 2:8-12,
8, If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well:
9, But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. 10 For whosoever 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 thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
12, So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
These are just a few of the many scriptures that say the opposite to your interpretation that God's Law is temporary. Must be hard for you when you see these.
So I share God's Word with you quoting 200+ scriptures saying the opposite of your interpretation above of Col 2:14-17 and you ignore it?
Linked here;
PART 1; PART 2; PART 3 and I am suppose to believe you over the Word of God why? You clearly do not know God's Word. If you do please by all means answer Part 1-3 in this OP that disagree with your statement above.
Who should we obey?
Act 5:29,
We ought to obey God rather than men.
Rom 3:4
God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou might be justified in thy sayings, and might overcome when thou art judged.
No friend, I do not say it is wrong to keep Sunday as a Holy day over the commandments of God this is not true. Jesus says it not me;
Mar 7:5-13,
5, Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?
6, He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written,
This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 7, Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 8, For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
9, And he said unto them,
Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 10, For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curses father or mother, let him die the death: 11, But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou might be profited by me; he shall be free. 12, And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; 13, Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
Here you can read about it in other places as well.
Mat 15:6-9,
6,Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
7, Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9, But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Sunday Worship is a man made teaching and tradition over the Word of God breaking God's 4th commandment. If there is no commandment or scripture in God's Word that tells us to keep Sunday Worship as a Holy day in place of God's 7th Day Sabbath why should we do it? Should we obey the Word of God or man? (see
Acts 5:29 for the answer)
It is not biblical to separate the Old Testament from the New Testament and say the Old Testament is no longer relevant. Why? Because everything in the New Testament comes from the Old Testament Scriptures. The 7th Day Sabbath as well as all the other commandments are all through the Old and New Testament writing and there is no commandment in ALL of God's Word that says that the 7th Day Sabbath is abolished and we are now required to keep Sunday Worship as a Holy day!
2 Tim3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Mat 4:4,
But he answered and said, It is written,
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
James 2:8-12,
8, If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well:
9, But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. 10 For whosoever 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 thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
12, So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
You Reject God's Word in order you keep your traditions. This is between you and God. I do not judge you.
Sin is the same as it has always been disobedience to God's Word breaking His 10 commandments. 1 John 3:4 is referring to breaking God's Law (10 commandments) which is the definition of Sin the opposite of righteousness and referred to in the same chapter in
verse 12 talking about the Murder Able by Cain (Ex 20:13)
How does God's Word define sin?
1 John 3:4
Sin = transgression of God's Law (
10 commandments) context
murder v 12.
1. Exo 20:3, Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
EXAMPLE OF SIN;
Judges 10:10, And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, saying,
We have sinned against thee, both
because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim.
2. Exo 20:4-5, Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
EXAMPLE OF SIN;
Jer 16:18, I will first doubly repay t
heir iniquity and their sin, because they have polluted My land; they have filled My inheritance with the carcasses of their
detestable idols and with their abominations.
3. Exo 20:7,Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
EXAMPLE OF SIN; (Professing God's name and not following him)
Mat 15:3-9, But he answered and said unto them,
Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? For God commanded, saying, Honor thy father and mother: and, He that curses father or mother, let him die the death. But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou might be profited by me; And honor not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
This people draws nigh unto me with their mouth, and honors me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
4. Exo 20:8-11, 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.
EXAMPLE OF SIN;
Ex 35:2, Six days work shall be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it shall be put to death. The wages of sin is death (
Rom 6:23)
5. Exo 20:12, Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God gives thee.
EXAMPLE COMMANDMENT;
Eph 6:1-3, "Honor your father and mother." This is the first
commandment with a promise:
6. Exo 20:13, Thou shalt not kill.
EXAMPLE OF SIN;
2Sam 12:9;13,
Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou
hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon; David said unto Nathan,
I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David,
The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die
7. Exo 20:14, Thou shalt not commit adultery.
EXAMPLE OF SIN;
Lev 20:10, If there is a man who commits adultery with another man's wife, one who commits adultery with his friend's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. The wages of sin is death (
Rom 6:23)
8 Exo 20:15, Thou shalt not steal.
9. Exo 20:16, Thou shalt not bear false witness (lie) against thy neighbour.
EXAMPLE OF SIN;
Lev 6:2-4, If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie unto his neighbor in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbor;
Or have found that which was lost, and lies concerning it, and swears falsely; in any of all these that a man does, sinning therein: Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found
10. Exo 20:17, Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's.
EXAMPLE OF SIN;
Isa 57:17, For the iniquity (SIN) of his
covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.
Eph 5:5, For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
1 John 3:4 "
SIN is the transgression of God's Law"
Ezekiel 18:4 "the soul that sins, it shall die."
Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin
is death;"
Romans 8:13 "For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die:"
James 2:8-12,
8, If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well:
9, But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. 10 For whosoever 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 thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
12, So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
Friend receiving God's Word is not salvation by Works because we receive it by Faith.
Seems like you forgot the context of 1 John 3:19 lets look at it;
1 John 3:3-10,
3, And every man that hath this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure. 4, Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5, And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6, Whosoever abides in him sins not: whosoever sins hath not seen him, neither known him. 7, Little children, let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8, He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9, Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10, In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loves not his brother.
That one is not working to well for you.
Here let me show you again;
James 2:8-12,
8, If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well:
9, But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. 10 For whosoever 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 thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
12, So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
Sunday Worship is a man made teaching and tradition of man over the Word of God. There is no scripture in God's Word that tells us to keep it over God's 7th Day Sabbath. If you want to keep it over God's Word, this is between you and God. I do not judge you. The Word will Judge us in the last days.
In Christ Always!
