WOW!, well at least you are honest. We certainly cannot use the writings of Paul to persuade you to be part of the New Covenant. One problem, Jesus listeners were Jews under the present law that Jesus was abiding. Jesus fulfilled the laws of the old covenant and ushered in the new covenant at His death on the Cross. It happens to be a better covenant with better laws that the old one. So, when Paul wrote that the 10 commandments were temporary laws he certainly was not contradicting Jesus. He was confirming the fact that indeed we are not under the direction of the 10 commandments, we are under the gift Jesus left us before He left for Heaven. That gift is the Holy Spirit and it has taken the place of the 10 commandments as the guide of all mankind. Please read 2Cor3:7-11. John confirms Paul's writings in 1Jn3:19-24 if you are interested in knowing the real truth.

Are you back to accepting the New Covenant made with "the house of Israel and the house of Judah" where the "LAW of God is written on the heart and mind" -- Jer 31:31-33, Hebrews 8:6-10. I welcome the change of heart.

Col 2:14 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;
Col 2:15And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of sabbath days:
Col 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.


An example of NOT condemning eating OR drinking or remembering God's Ten-Commandment creation-Sabbath day to keep it holy. Rather Col 2 condemns the "commandments of men" - (as is so carefully avoided in the quotes we often see from Col 2)


Col 2 is about making up a rule and judging others of being guilty of sin because they differ with you, even if that invented rule is related to a Bible command.

Who but the pro law people are doing this very thing? Has anyone condemned you for trying to keep or as you will claim keeping the Sabbath?

You can't be serious.

Perhaps a short "summary" to refresh short term memory.

You don't obey the Sabbath, .

Do you say that as the "Accuser of the brethren" in Rev 12 - or do you have some "other source"??

Perhaps most, at least some, of us give lip service to that idea. However, is there a particular reason you don't keep all of God's commandments?

And then of course we have "you".

You don't fool us for a split NYC second. You're not in compliance with the law. If you keep any part of it you're obligated to all of it per Gal 5:3.

The rebellious child will say to its parents "first you must be perfect then you may tell me to Honor my Father and Mother as God instructed in the Bible" -- but of course -- that is "old news"

More serious than a heart attack.

hint: you were just proven wrong. Spare yourself that heart attack.
