Well ... that's not what I said ... I said Laws (1-10) meaning the 10 commandments, evidentially you didn't pick up on that.
The sacrificial/ceremonial laws were nailed to the cross, done away with.
And yes, Jesus became and is our High Priest in heaven, so that aspect was part of the ceremonial system and was no longer needed and THAT change occurred when the system was done away with at the cross.
The moral law the TEN COMMANDMENTS stand.
Also, no Sabbatarian Christian today actually can keep the Saturday Sabbath as it is given to us in the Torah (which was intended for Israel). It literally is not possible to obey the Sabbath as Israel had once obeyed the Sabbath. Here are the rules and regulations for you to follow if you were to obey the Sabbath the correct way:
1 "Then Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said to them, “These are the words which the Lord has commanded you to do:
2 Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh day shall be a holy day for you, a Sabbath of rest to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it shall be put to death.
3 You shall kindle no fire throughout your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”"
(Exodus 35:1-3).
2 Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh day shall be a holy day for you, a Sabbath of rest to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it shall be put to death.
3 You shall kindle no fire throughout your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”"
(Exodus 35:1-3).
Do you put to death anyone who does work on the Sabbath day?
Do you kindle no fire through out your fire dwellings on the Sabbath day?
Here is another rule that they followed on the Sabbath day.
9 "And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and the drink offering thereof:
10 This is the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering." (Numbers 28:9-10).
10 This is the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering." (Numbers 28:9-10).
Do you offer two lambs of the first year without spot, and two tenth deals of flour as a meat offering mingled with oil, and a drink offering?
If not, you are not keeping the true Sabbath as Israel once did. Only they truly kept the Sabbath day and kept it's regulations at one time. Clearly if there was a change of the Sabbath day in the New Covenant (or New Testament), then we need new regulations in the NT saying that we need to keep the Sabbath day, but we do not need to prescribe to the other regulations that were normally attached with the weekly Sabbath.
Also, it was not just the weekly Sabbath, too. If you keep the Saturday Sabbath, you have to also keep all the other Sabbaths, too. If you obey the Old Law, you have to follow all of it. This was definitely the case for those who thought they had to be circumcised in the NT.
"For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law." (Galatians 5:3).
