5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
Not really Billy it is because we love God that we keep His commandments *JOHN 14:15. Your not reading what is being shared with you. We do not keep God's LAW to be saved we keep it because JESUS has given us a new heart to love and forgiven us for our sins and given us His salvation as a free gift *EPHESIANS 2:8-9 and now we are free from sin to walk in newness of life through his Spirit *ROMANS 8:1-4; GALATIANS 5:16; ROMANS 3:31; 1 JOHN 3:6-10; ROMANS 13:8-10; JAMES 2:8-10; MATTHEW 22:36-40; ROMANS 6:1-23; EPHESIANS 2:8-9. By His stripes we are healed and the blood of JESUS Christ cleanses us from all unrighteousness (sin). *ISAIAH 53:5; 1 JOHN 1:7-9; 1 JOHN 5:17-18Choosing to attain your righteousness by living by the sabbath observance

I know the doctrines of the Ellen G White. Do you also teach against eating Pork ? Do you believe that its ok Scripturally to eat Pork ?
Sorry Billy this topic has nothing to do with the OP here. Your welcome to start another thread if you like and send me a link and I will be happy to share my thoughts there if you?
Not really Billy the bondage being referred to is sin *JOHN 8:31-36 not the law and God's 10 commandments are not in carnal ordinances. Your mixing up the Mosaic ceremonial laws with God's eternal LAW (the 10 commandments). According to God's Word in the new covenant God's LAW (10 commandments) have the same role they always have and that is to give us the knowledge of GOOD and EVIL; SIN and RIGHTEOUSNESS *ROMANS 3:20; ROMANS 7:7; 1 JOHN 3:4; PSALMS 119:172 and according to the scriptures if we break any one of them we stand guilty before God "under the law" *ROMANS 3:19 of breaking them JAMES 2:10-11. God's 4th commandment is one of God's 10 commandments that give us the knowledge of what sin is when we break it *EXODUS 20:8-11; ROMANS 3:20.That what the law does it pulls you further under bondage making you observe carnal ordinance until you end up believing its sin to eat pork even when the word of God says the opposite for Christians.
Romans 14 King James Version (KJV)
14 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
Romans 14:23 (KJV)
23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
Do you believe its sin to eat Pork ?
I am really not sure what your trying to say here Bob.
Do you believe it is a sin to obey the Word of God?Do you believe its sin to eat Pork ?
Romans 14 King James Version (KJV)
14 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
In the context of the whole Chapter, he talks about JUDGING your brother in regards to what you eat or what day you observe. The very thing your doing which your not meant to do saying its sinful to not observe a day.
Love establishes God's law and God's Law is about Love and we love God by Faith in Jesus loving our neighbor as ourselves.
I believe many are not mindful of what our Lord says when he states that he is Lord of the sabbath and if we are found to be within him and him within US have we not I’m entered into his rest? As SAINTS that worship the Lord in Spirit and Truth is the Sabbath the only day that WE should be mindful of? The Law is a pointer but cannot spur us on to Holiness...Only a relationship with Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit that indwells each believer can do this...Some people try to quote the scripture COLOSSIANS 2:16-17 and claim that this refers to God's seventh day Sabbath of the 4th commandment not realising that there are many Sabbaths included in the bible that are not God's 4th commandment and can fall on any day of the week depending on the yearly cycle.
These include;
1. The Sabbaths of the Feast of unleavened bread (first and last day) that can fall on any day of the week *LEVITICUS 23:6-8
2. The Sabbath on the annual day of Atonement that can fall on any day of the week *LEVITICUS 23:27-32
3. The Sabbath on the annual Feast of Trumpets that can fall on any day of the week *LEVITICUS 23:24-25?
4. The Sabbath on the Feast of Booths that can fall on any day of the week *LEVITICUS 23:34-36
5. Feast of first fruits (first and last day) that can fall on any day of the week *LEVITICUS 23:39
6. The sabbaths (sabbaton plural) of holy convocations from the annual feast days *LEVITICUS 23:7-8; 21;24; 27; 35-36 that can fall on any days of the week
7. The Sabbath of the land (7 year single cycle) *LEVITICUS 25:2
8. The Sabbath of Jubilee - culminating of the 7x7 yearly cycles sabbaths *LEVITICUS 25:9-54
9. Or God's 4th commandment seventh day weekly Sabbath which is one of the 10 commandments that define sin when broken? *EXODUS 20:8-11 from GENESIS 2:1-3
Many of these annual festival sabbaths were prophetic in nature (types and Shadow sabbaths) pointing to JESUS and God's plan of salvation in the new covenant and could fall on any day of the week depending on the yearly cycle. They are not the same as Gods' 4th commandment which is a weekly memorial of creation in God's 10 commandments.
The context of sabbaths (Greek word meaning sabbaton plural GNP meaning simply ceasing from work) in COLOSSIANS 2:16 is to the annual sabbaths in feast days.
A detailed scripture response starting here for those interested.
The reason why Gods' 4th Commandment *EXODUS 20:8-11 cannot be a shadow (type) Sabbath is because it is a part of the FINISHED WORK of creation. Another words according to the scripture it points backwards to creation not forward to something to come.
Indeed, the weekly Sabbath points back to creation which we as God's people are to remember, as it is written...
EXODUS 20:8-11 [8], REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY [Made Holy at creation GENESIS 2:3]. [9], Six days shall you labor, and do all your work: [10], But THE SEVENTH DAY [ Genesis 2:1-3] IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD YOUR GOD : in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates: [WHY?] [11], FOR IN SIX DAYS THE LORD MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH, THE SEA, AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM IS, AND RESTED THE SEVENTH DAY; WHEREFORE THE LORD BLESSED THE SABBATH DAY AND MADE IT HOLY. [Refering to GENESIS 2:1-3]
The Sabbath is a part of the FINISHED WORK of creation as it is written...
GENESIS 2:1-3 [1], THIS THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WERE FINISHED, AND ALL THE HOST OF THEM. [2], And ON THE SEVENTH DAY God ended his work which he had made; and he RESTED [שׁבת; shâbath H7673; Keep Sabbath] on the SEVENTH DAY from all his work which he had made. [3], And GOD BLESSED THE SEVENTH DAY AND MADE IT HOLY: because that in it he had RESTED [שׁבת; shâbath H7673; Keep Sabbath] from all his work which God created and made.
Being a part of a FINISHED WORK it is impossible for the SABBATH to be a SHADOW law from the MOSAIC book of the law because when the SABBATH was made for all mankind there was NO SIN and mankind was in perfect harmony with God and needed NO SALVATION and there was no plan of salvation given to mankind because mankind did not need saving.
God bless

and His commandments are:
..
19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
