ACTS 15 as shown through the scriptures earlier verse by verse is answering the question; IS CIRCUMCISION from the MOSAIC BOOK of the LAW a requirement for salvation . This is the CONTEXT of the ACTS 15 and the reason why PAUL and BARNABAS went to JERUSALEM to answer this question *ACTS 15:1-2.

As shown through the scriptures already; the law of MOSES is not God's ETERNAL LAW (10 commandments) and CIRCUMCISION is not one of God's 10 commandments.

Where in ACTS 15 does it say it is referring to God's 10 commandments as being the topic of controversy when the CONTEXT and topic and issue of discussion was "IS CIRCUMCISION (from the MOSIAC BOOK of the law) A REQUIREMENT FOR SALVATION? This is the CONTEXT of ACTS 15. *ACTS 15:1-2.

The law of MOSES *DEUTERONONY 31:24-26; EXODUS 24:7 is not the LAW of GOD (10 Commandments) *EXODUS 20:1-17 that give us the KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and EVIL; SIN and RIGHTOEUSNESS in the NEW COVENANT *ROMANS 3:20; ROMANS 7:7; 1 JOHN 3:4; PSALMS 119:172 and CIRCUMCISION is not one of God's 10 commandments.

Your interpretation of the scriptures here brother disagrees with the rest of the NEW TESTAMENT scriptures.


As shown through the scriptures already with you brother. Your claims are simply your own words arguing with God's WORD. Your name calling is only evidence you have no scriptures to support your claims here.

ACTS 15 is discussing the question which was; IS CIRCUMCISION A REQUIREMENT FOR SALVATION (ACTS 15:1-2)? Not wheather God's 10 commandment are abolished for new Gentiles BELIEVERS.

What you point out above in relation to the letter to the gentiles including to abstain from Idolatry and fornication only confirms what has been shared with you. ACTS 15 is not discussing if God's 10 commandments are abolished which some seem to teach here. The letter you refer to only supports that God's 10 Commandments are to be obeyed.

The ACTS 15 letter to the new Gentile believers is affirming God's 10 commandments telling them not to commit idolatry and not to commit fornication and letting them know that CIRCUMCISION is not a requirement for salvation.

The reason also for this letter was that they would continue learning God's WORD every SABBATH *ACTS 15:21.

This is also made very clear by PAUL that he is not referring to God's 10 commandments being Abolished in 1 CORINTHIANS 7 following the letter in ACTS 15.

1 CORINTHIANS 7:19 [19] Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

According to the interpretation for many of ACTS 15 PAUL is contradicting himself.

ROMANS 3:31 [31], Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yes, we establish the law.

Sorry brother God's WORD disagrees with you.

Hope this helps

You issued 3 questions, all of which are heavily laced with your unscriptural words, again. Much of the above illustrates the salaciousness of your questions.

Really brother. I asked three questions to you earlier that you choose to ignore. Each of these three questions were also provided with scriptures to answer the questions provided from God's WORD. Your post here is simply your words ignoring God's WORD. Only God's WORD is true brother and we should believe and follow it *ROMANS 3:4. Here is the post and the questions with the scriptures that you ignored earlier. You do not have to answer them if you do not want to here. Pehaps you can pray about them and look up the references at home if you do not know the answer to them. Posted earlier to you;

..............

1. What is the CONTEXT of ACTS 15 and the reason PAUL and BARNABAS when to JERUSALEM was it over CIRCUMCISION from the MOSAIC BOOK of the law *DEUTERONOMY 31:24-26 being a requirement for salvation or was ACTS 15 discussing is God's 10 Commandments still a requirement for new Chrsitians *ACTS 15:1-2.

2. WAS God's ETERNAL LAW (10 Commandments) which was SPOKEN and WRITTEN by GOD alone on two tables of stone *EXODUS 20:1-17; EXODUS 32:16 SEPARATED in the ARK (house) of the OLD COVENANT from the MOSAIC BOOK of the COVENANT *EXODUS 24:7; DEUTERONOMY 31:26?

3. WHY do you think GOD SEPARATED his ETERNAL LAW (10 commandments) from the MOSAIC BOOK the law *DEUTERONOMY 31:24-26; DEUTERONOMY 10:2 ?

Now brother take an honest look at these questions and the scirptures references provided. If you can honestly answer these questions with God's WORD then you will see your claims above a simply false claims and have no basis or scripture support from God's WORD. Only provided in love and has a help brother.

God bless.

I repeat, I tell you that there is no scripture that states the law of Moses does not include the Ten Commandments, so you breach in sin the 9th commandment by bearing false witness against Moses and, more intensely, God.

Now brother are you being honest here? Where have I ever posted that God's ETERNAL LAW (10 Commandments) is not referred to in the BOOK of the law of MOSES? If I have never said that God did not give his law to Moses why do you pretend here that I have? It is the BOOK of the law that states that GOD'S ETERNAL LAW (10 commandments) is not the law of MOSES but the work of GOD alone, spoken and written by God unlike the BOOK of the law which is the work of MOSES and written and spoken by Moses.

You, Judaizers, have an idol - being your words that you try to impose on El Shaddai! Think differently from now on for the Kingdom of God is near!

The name calling is sad for you brother. God's WORD does not teach lawlessness. All those who CONTINUE in KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN will not enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN *HEBREWS 10:26-27 because they reject the gift of God's dear son *ROMANS 6:23.
According to God's WORD in the NEW COVENANT SIN is breaking any one of God's 10 Commandments *JAMES 2:10-11; 1 JOHN 3:4. God's 4th commandment is one of God's 10 commandments that give us the KNOWLEDGE of what SIN is when broken *ROMANS 3:20; ROMANS 7:7; 1 JOHN 3:4; JAMES 2:10-11.

OBEDIENCE to God's LAW is not how we are saved it is the FRUIT of God's work in us as we BELIEVE and FOLLOW his WORD. If our faith has no fruit it is dead *JAMES 2:18-20; 26 and our tree will be cast down and thrown into the fire *MATTHEW 3:10; 7:19-20; 13:49-50.

JESUS says; all those who KOWINGLY follow the teachings and traditions of men that break the commandments of God are not following God *MATTHEW 15:3-9. This is the reason for this OP. You either have God's WORD for your position or you do not. Who should we believe; those who follow the teachings and traditions of men that break the commandments of God or the WORD of GOD? I know who I believe *ROMANS 3:4.

May God help you as you seek him through his WORD.

Yet here you still are speaking your own words and arguing with God's.

You choose not to answer the OP brother because you cannot as there is no scripture in all of God's WORD that says God's 4th Commandment has been Abolished and we are now commanded to keep Sunday as a Holy day.

It is JESUS that says; All those who follow the teachings and traditions of men that break the commandments of God are not following God *MATTHEW 15:3-9. This is God's WORD not mine.

No one receive's a NEW HEART to continue in KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN. God's WORD does not teach lawlessness. According to God's WORD All those who continue in KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN have not seen him and do not know him and need to be BORN AGAIN to LOVE.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU KNOW GOD?

1 John 2:3-4
3, And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4, He that said, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

1 John 3:3-10
3, And every man that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
4, Whoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5, And you know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6, Whoever stays in him sins not: whoever sins has not seen him, neither known him.
7, Little children, let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8, He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9, Whoever is born of God does not commit sin; for his seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10, In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loves not his brother.

.................

WHO ARE GOD'S PEOPLE?

REVELATION 12:17, And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ

REVELATION 14:12, Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

.................

WHO ARE THOSE THAT RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE?

REVELATION 22:14, Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

..................

WHO HAS GOD'S SPIRIT?

ACTS 5:32, And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Spirit, WHOM GOD HAS GIVEN TO THEM WHO OBEY HIM.

................

SIN is the breaking of God's Commandments (James 2:9-11; Romans 7:7; 1 John 3:4)
Those who CONTINUE in UNREPENTANT SIN will NOT enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN.

God's 4th commandment is one of the ten (Exodus 20:8-11) If we knowingly break it when God asks us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (James 2:8-12). If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness we are in danger of the Judgement (Hebrews 10:26-27)

Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has led many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (Matthew 15:3-9)

There is not one scripture in all of God's Word that says that God's 4th Commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to KEEP Sunday as a Holy day.

Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of men or the Word of God? Who should we believe the Words of men or the Word of God?

In times of ignorance God winks at but now ,<when a KNOWLEDGE of the truth has come> calls all men everywhere to REPENT (FOLLOW) (Acts 17:30-31).

**Sorry brother as shown through the scriptures, and looking in detail at your post section by section and scripture by scripture, God's WORD disagrees with you.**

Hope this helps.

Hello brother NeedyFollower, thanks for sharing your thoughts here. I agree with much of what you have posted here. Although, God's WORD is very clear JESUS is LORD and creator of the SABBATH which God's WORD defines as the SEVENTH DAY of the WEEK *EXODUS 20:10. The reason we are to REMEMBER God's SEVENTH DAY SABBATH is because in 6 days GOD created the heavens and the earth and RESTED on the SEVENTH DAY of the creation week *GENESIS 2:1-3. On the SEVENTH DAY that God's WORD defines as the "SABBATH" *EXODUS 20:10. There is no scripture that says JESUS is a SABBATH only that he is the LORD of the SABBATH that he created for all mankind and has commanded his people to KEEP THE SABBATH DAY as a HOLY DAY *MARK 2:27-28; EXODUS 20:8-11. The problem brother has never been what day should we worship God. We should worship God EVERYDAY. The problem is that God has commanded us in his 4th commandment to REST on the SEVENTH DAY of the WEEK and not to do any of our own work on this day which starts SUNSET Friday to SUNSET Saturday.

God bless.

Indeed, but the Priests are held guiltless the scripture says because they are doing God's WORK and not doing their own work. God's WORK is not doing our own work brother. Of course it is ok to do Good on the Sabbath. This is the teachings of JESUS *MATTHEW 12:1-12. No one has rest while KNOWINGLY breaking any one of Gods Commandments.

God bless.

Let's follow the teaching of Jesus.

In Mark 7:6-13 Jesus begins with "in vain do they worship Me" -- what was his complaint about them?

I fully understand your quotes.

The 7th day our Saturday isn't the sabbath.

The sabbath isn't our Saturday.

The word Sabbath (shabbat) doesn't appear in Genesis.

You can't successfully claim Moses was ignorant in Genesis and full of knowledge in Exodus. If Moses knew the word "shabat" in Genesis, he knnew the word "shabbat." The first is a verb meaning to cease and is used about the sabbath (shabbat) in Hosea.

The shabbat is a periodic rest/pause which God didn't participate in on the 7th day of creation. God fully stopped and this is His rest He swore Israel would never enter.

The word rest in Hebrew 4:9 is sabbatismos is a type of rest and has nothing to do with the sabbath. The subject of Heb 4 is rest, more specifically God's rest. The subject isn't the sabbath nor a physical periodic rest.

Jesus offered this rest to sabbath keeping Jews in Mat 11:28-30. This rest is only obtained thru Jesus. Yes you can say sabbatismos doesn't appear in Mat 11:28-30, but neither does katapausis. So if you want we can argue about the word that does appear - anapauō.

You say that if a person sins willfully as in not obeying the Sabbath, given of course that person is aware of the fourth commandment.

So it does not matter if a person believes in Jesus Christ because they disobey the fourth commandment. So anyone who knows the fourth commandment and disobeys cannot be saved.

In effect, Jesus came to ultimately save the Sabbath observers. Which is what you are really saying. You add the fourth commandment caveat to the gospel of Jesus Christ. This means that legal obedience is necessary for salvation.

yes it is.

The sabbath isn't our Saturday.

yes it is.

"The seventh day is the SABBATH of the LORD" Ex 20:10

Bible details matter.

Jesus never said "ignore the Sabbath from now on I am the Sabbath" and we all know it.

in fact Jesus "made ALL things" Colossians 1 reminds us that mankind was made by Christ and for Christ.

By contrast Jesus reminds us that the "Sabbath was made FOR mankind" Mark 2:27

Obviously not only does the Bible not say "Christ is your Sabbath" but such a teaching is against Christ's own statement in Mark 2:27.

Bible details matter.

Even the majority of pro-sunday scholarship freely admits that while the moral law of God - that includes all TEN of the ten commandments remains - the ceremonial and civil laws ended when the theocracy ended and ceremonies ended at the cross. (See Hebrews 10)

That is not "unique" to those who keep the Bible Sabbath - it is also held by the Sunday groups.

===============

I am glad these Sunday sources all affirm the Ten Commandments for Christians.

The Baptist Confession of Faith,
the Westminster Confession of Faith ,
D.L. Moody,
R.C Sproul,
Matthew Henry,
Thomas Watson
Eastern Orthodox Catechism
The Catholic Catechism.

Sorry but they don't as your formal debate on the sabbath clearly show.

on the contrary they do -- as my formal debate on the Sabbath clearly shows

details matter as it turns out.

May the Lord Jesus open your eyes to the fact that "the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came to be realized through Jesus Christ" (John 1:17).

There is no scripture that states the law of Moses does not include the Ten Commandments.

True.

And it also includes

"Love God with all your heart" Deu 6:5
"Love your neighbor as yourself" Lev 19:18
"Honor your father and mother" Ex 20:12

And Paul reminds us that "what matters is keeping the Commandments of God" 1 Cor 7:19 where the "first commandment with a promise" Eph 6:2 is the 5th commandment.

No wonder then "the saints KEEP the Commandments of God and their faith in Jesus" Rev 14:12

After all the NEW Covenant includes "I will write My Law on your heart and mind" Jer 31:31-33

Even in the NT "sin IS transgression of the LAW" 1 John 3:4

Any one can do what you just did with the Scripture. .

Agreed. Read the Bible and accept it .

obvious.

easy.

Here are 4 passages to prove jots and tittles of the law have passed -

LK 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures

Gal 3:19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

Eph 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

Heb 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

And there are more. The ones I quoted are post cross.
