You neither understand the gospel or the work of salvation in our lives.
The old agreement consisted of sin and death of which has been made obsolete through the death of Jesus. The new agreement is God's grace but that does not mean the Law is obsolete. The terms of an agreement can be made obsolete while the contents of an agreement can stay the same.
I can rent you an appartment for a certain price under one agreement and then rent you that same apartment under a different agreement for the same price.
God takes the Law on stone under the old agreement and writes in our hearts under the new agreement, same Law under both agreements
Hebrews 8:10 "For this is the new covenant that I will make with the house of Israel: After those days,'' says the Lord, "I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
The word, adoption is a legal term with legal guidlines and ramifications.
To claim that I don't understand the Gospel doesn't add any credibility to your previous testimony that your salvation demands a return to the dead works Christianity affirms a repentance from. You have also posted your opinion that you wouldn't last long in a traditional Adventist church in the recent past. Now look at your own signature line, and see that you contradict both your contention that you aren't a Christian nor an Adventist with a line stating that you
are a Christian and an Adventist. Nothing you have posted has aligned with your conversation.
This includes your claim that God was to take the law written on tablets of stone and write into our hearts, when Jeremiah prophesied that God was going to give us His "
My law" unlike the law ordained at Mount Sinai, which causes an effect in the recipients the former law was unable to accomplish. Hebrews 8 continues to note from Jeremiah's prophecy that the former law is
obsolete, and yet you have the gall to contradict Scripture and claim that the new covenant is the old covenant. According to you, there is no such thing as a new covenant.
These are the red herrings you continue to post, in order to avoid responding to the post that has already been presented to you. All you can do is opine contradictions, and never answer why you don't keep any of the sabbaths contained in the law. Here is the latest post you still haven't responded to:
Jesus' didn't come to die on a cross to take away the Ten Commandment, but rather, He died to to take the penalty for breaking them while under the old covenant and He came to establish with His words the terms of a new covneant.
It only takes a cursory view of Hebrews 10:9 where it states "
He takes away the first that He may establish the second", and then compare Scripture against what you posted to conclude your contention in complete error.
The fact that His followers rested on the Sabbath (According to the 4th commandment) tells us that Jesus made no changes because if He did they would have known about and since He didn't make a change, while He was living, no changes can be made after His death.
You haven't found a "fourth commandment", which has been a request made to you by more than one member. The narrative Luke wrote shows he apparently had to explain "according to the commandment" to a Gentile recipient of his Gospel account regarding Mary's rest on the sabbath. Once Jesus resurrected and opened the understanding of His disciples, "according to the commandment" of feigned compliance to the first covenant is never found again in Scripture. Assembling on the sabbath days is not compliance to the first covenant law to keep the sabbath
holy, which in the law mandates the burnt offerings under a priesthood that has no part in the new covenant.
The Gospel describes our adoption as God's purchased possession (Galatians 4:4-7), in which we have the same sovereignty over the created law the King enjoys, that has no jurisdiction over the King's children (Matthew 17:24-26): "
Jesus said to him, Then the sons are free". We are not bound to the old covenant anymore, which does not convey a promise of eternal life to those remaining in it (Galatians 4:30).

I don't believe you k4c, you manage to scrimp every little thing you can in a desperate attempt to put people back into the bondage of the law. Just give it up man. No one here is convinced. Seriously dude, the more you twist, distort and take scripture out of context, the more you show everyone how wrong you are. But keep posting. You are a great proponent for NOT keeping the OT Sabbath.
I pointed out that Mary complied with both of the sabbaths the historical account reveals in the week Jesus was crucified. You do not. The hypocrisy of your conversation is consistent with your contradiction with Scripture. Others are able to see the inconsistency in your own witness, and want no part of it. In summary, you don't know the law, it shows, and your posts are a joke.
