The fact that majority of your own pro-sunday scholarship affirms the Bible fact that God's Ten Commandments - are the moral law of God binding for the saints from Eden until this very day - may have something to do with the way those Commandments are strongly affirmed by the NT writers --

[FONT="]1 Cor 6 [/FONT][FONT="]
8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
As we all can see from that - Paul does not teach - cheap grace. Those sins above – are in fact “transgression of the Law” as John states 1 John 3:4[/FONT]

[FONT="]When it comes to Paul – and his affirmation of the Law of God.
"what matters is Keeping the Commandments of God" 1Cor 7:19
"do we then make void the Law of God by our faith? God forbid! In fact we ESTABLISH the LAW" Rom 3:31
What law? The Law that condemns all mankind as sinners -
Rom 3
19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
That same law - same chapter
"do we then make void the Law of God by our faith? God forbid! In fact we ESTABLISH the LAW" Rom 3:31
Rom 7
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
Rom 13
8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
9 For this,
Thou shalt not commit adultery,
Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal,
Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Thou shalt not covet;
and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Matt 19 -- before the cross. The Commandments of Christ -
16 And someone came to Him and said, “Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?” 17 And He said to him, “Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.” 18 Then he *said to Him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said,
“You shall not commit murder;
You shall not commit adultery;
You shall not steal;
You shall not bear false witness;
19 Honor your father and mother; and
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT]

[FONT="]8 [/FONT][FONT="]If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law according to the Scripture, [/FONT]
[FONT="]“[/FONT][FONT="]You shall love your neighbor as yourself[/FONT][FONT="],”[/FONT][FONT="] you are doing well.[/FONT]
[FONT="] 9 But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.[/FONT]
[FONT="]10 [/FONT][FONT="]For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.[/FONT][FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]11 [/FONT][FONT="]For He who said, [/FONT]
[FONT="]“[/FONT][FONT="]Do not commit adultery[/FONT][FONT="],”[/FONT][FONT="] also said, “[/FONT][FONT="]Do not commit murder[/FONT][FONT="].” Now if you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.[/FONT][FONT="] [/FONT]
