I guess we will have to see about that. God has people in every denomination, but He is calling His people out of the false teachings and back to worshipping Him in Truth and Spirit John 4:23-24. God's people keep the commandments of God Revelation 14:12, the way God gave them, no one can improve on what God wrote or what God spoke and according to scripture we are not to change anything.Of course, the parent apostasizers. And I really don't care if forum rules disallow identifying the Catholic Church as such, but I'd bet that they do.
How could former pagan Christians in the 12 countries and 63 cities mentioned in the N.T. know what to do/not do if they did not have anything to tell them the laws of God?This is quite easy because God's Word tells us not to go away from God's Word and not to change one Word in scripture or to His commandments....
The Ten Commandments were repeated in the New Covenant, and it was a teaching of Jesus and the apostles. Paul said what matters is keeping the commandments of God 1 Cor 7:19 and pointed right to the Ten Commandments to define sin. Romans 7:7How could former pagan Christians in the 12 countries and 63 cities mentioned in the N.T. know what to do/not do if they did not have anything to tell them the laws of God?
There is no record in the N.T. that believers in those 12 countries and 63 cities were ever provided any Old Testament commandments. How could they follow the O.T. when they did not have it.
That is correct, but all ten commandments were never given to one single church. Different churches were given different commandments. There is no record that a single church had all 10 commandments. Also, there is no record that any NT church was taught how and when to observe the Sabbath. Missing is the part of the commandment which states that the Sabbath is from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday. Also missing is the prohibition against lighting a fire and doing any work.The Ten Commandments were repeated in the New Covenant, and it was a teaching of Jesus and the apostles.

All they had to do was follow the example of Jesus and the apostles who kept every Sabbath according to the scriptures. We are told to follow their example.That is correct, but all ten commandments were never given to one single church. Different churches were given different commandments.

That seems like a good answer but those former pagans in Babylon, Ephesus, Corinth, Rome etc. could not follow Jesus around observing Him. So, my previous arguments stand unrefuted.All they had to do was follow the example of Jesus and the apostles who kept every Sabbath according to the scriptures. We are told to follow their example.
The saints are the saved ones i.e. God's church. God's people keeps God's commandments. Revelation 14:12
Your argument would apply to everything, not just the Sabbath, but Jesus commissioned the Apostles to teach the world and observe everything He commanded of them, which we see the apostles obeying by preaching God's Word every Sabbath and to Jews Gentiles and whole cities.That seems like a good answer but those former pagans in Babylon, Ephesus, Corinth, Rome etc. could not follow Jesus around observing Him.

I chose the cities that seemed to be the farthest apart.
It never said anything to Gentiles at all, and there's no indication at all that the Gentile Church ever kept the Law except those parts of it that forbade things they they considered malum in se or that were taught in the New Testament. They were not taught not to eat lobsters, to forbear from trimming their beards, or to keep Shabbos.
