Point 4 applies only to Israel as a whole. Commandments 5 through 10 are moral commandments. They can be and are used to teach morals. As law and requirements they aren't binding on Christians. Loving God and others fully cover ever aspect of the 10 Cs except the one purely ceremonial commandment (4). Any celebration or observance of any kind about anything is ceremonial in nature.
Not according to the majority of even pro-sunday scholarship. And in Ex 20:8-11 nothing predictive - it is purely a memorial of the Gen 2 completion.
And also - in Gen 2 - no ceremonial sacrifice -- Even Moody admits that the Sabbath was kept in Eden by Adam.
The NC excuses the Christian from observance because it is not cited in the NC.
The Sabbath commandment is reference several times in the NT - but the 3rd commandment is never quoted at all - where you thinking that taking
God's name in vain must be ok - since it is never quoted not even in part in the NT???
No such Bible rule about deleting what is not constantly repeated-- thankfully.
There is no sin in not observing the 7th day Sabbath. Numerous passages have been quoted and requoted often backing this up. The OP regularly and simply dismisses them.
1 John 3:4 "
Sin IS transgression of the LAW"
1Cor 7:19 "
what matters is KEEPING the Commandments of God"
James 2 - break one - you break them all.
So then some place .. somewhere someone was successful in refuting the OP -- just can't find it??
One of my favorites is Jer 31:31-33. There are many other great ones.
Jer 31:31-33 is quoted in Heb 8 - and remains. Exegesis demands that the Law as known to Jeremiah and his contemporary readers include the TEN Commandments.
Obviously. Irrefutable.
Point 5 is incorrect because the OP means the 10 Cs are written on the heart which Jer 31:31-33 shows otherwise.
Jer 31:31-33 does not "Show otherwise" --- as we all know.
Besides the NC is based on better promises and not law.
The NC specifically mentions law "I will write my Law on their heart and on their mind" this is in both NT and OT quotes of the NC.
We all knew that.
Point 6 is incorrect because law voids grace and grace voids law.
Not according to the New Covenant.
Not according to James 2.
Not according to Rom 3:31.
Not according to Romans 6.
Not according to 1John 5:1-4
Not according to Rom 2:13.
No criminal ever begs for the law to apply. They always ask for exception from it. Our pro law friends aren't an exception. The requirement of the law is death for violation. The law always gets death for violation.
And "yet" that LAW is "written on the heart and mind" Heb 8 the SAME Law that Jeremiah knew about in Jer 31:31-33.
The SAME Law that Paul declares in Eph 6:2 to have as the "FIRST commandment with a promise" -- the 5th Commandment.
A statement ONLY true in what scripture calls "The TEN Commandments".
Point 7 is also incorrect because of my favorite passage on this promising a new covenant based on promises unlike the old covenant based on law. There are plenty more.
If this brief post isn't sufficient I will be most happy to discuss any point in nauseating detail again.

You oppose not only the Bible but even the majority of pro-Sunday scholarship on 6 of their 7 points.
Interesting.
