I did not mention Jesus allowing for divorce. I spoke of a change in law from moses than that which was from the beginning.I'm sorry, but where did Jesus allow for divorce for "any reason" as was in the Old Covenant. He only allowed it for sexual infidelity. But no where are the divorced given license to remarry after divorce. We just assume that, but it is not written. What is written is that if a divorced person remarries, they are committing adultery if the spouse is still living.

The end of the Sabbath and the 1st day of the week begins at what we would refer to as Saturday at sundown, so it is possible that Jesus resurrected between then and when she arrived at the tomb on the next morning.
We should always remember that without Christ we are awful sinners.
Psalm 77:13
Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
Yes the Sabbath was a sign for the Sinai covenant made with the nation of Israel. I think we all overlook how the Sinai covenant accounted sin. Israel as a fleshly entity is judged by the law in a collective sense of their carnal generations. We see the collective nature of sin here....Jesus' death and resurrection is the Gospel that has the power to save us.
Not the law, the 10 Commandments were given for the purpose of showing us what awful sinners we are.
The law was added because of transgression,, it was a tutor that taught us what awful sinners we are. Then we could acknowledge our need for Christ.
Now that we are in Christ, we are no longer under the tutor. Should we forget what the law taught us, no.
We should always remember that without Christ we are awful sinners.
The law is not made for the righteous, but for the lawless and disobedient.
Those who are in Christ are obedient to faith. Romans 1:5
The law is not of faith, so if you are preaching that we need to keep the law, you are being disobedient to faith.
The Sabbath was a sign of the Old Covenant, Exodus 31:13, we are not under the Old Covenant.
Here is what God says to be proud of:We need a few who are proud that they keep God's Laws (maybe that will help a little); not everyone proud that they break God’s Laws.

Paul refused to be proud of his lawkeeping.
You said earlier in post 217 that we need more people to be proud of keeping God's law.That Paul refused to be proud of his lawkeeping implies he kept the law; not that he broke the law. Or would you prefer to differ, that Paul refused to be proud of his lawbreaking? In which case we perfectly agree, I think.
Here ya go.No; it was not! Where do you get your miss-information from? Read me that! Until you do you are not worth paying further attention to.
Here ya go.
Ex 31:16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
Yes I do believe the Sabbath given the nation of Israel was a shadow. The reality is in Christ.Don't you think the old Sabbath pointed toward our rest in Jesus. Scripture says He is the substance of the Sabbath. So if you have the real thing that was being looked forward to, why still observe what He fulfilled? The only other substance will be the Millennium when Christ has come back to earth and will reign for 1000 years. It was prophesied that each of the 7 days of creation represented 1000 years. 6000 years for man, and then the 7th is the Millennium. In the same prophecy, the 8th day had no evening and morning and represents eternity. It also represents Sunday, and why we gather together on Sunday, the day Christ resurrected from the dead, and sealed the deal for our salvation.
You said earlier in post 217 that we need more people to be proud of keeping God's law.
Whether or not Paul kept the law is not at issue here, he would not bring it up, let alone be proud of it.
I was raised in a Presbyterian Sunday School. About the only thing i remember from Sunday School they had taught us was, "Obey the 10 Commandments". Once I got Born Again at age 22 I discovered trying to, "Obey" the 10 Commandments was the VERY thing that was killing me! I was just like the Apostle Paul before his conversion! I was raised to believe that you were supposed to spend your entire life trying to, "please God". It wasn't until I got a sound understanding of the Gospel that I found out God loved me not based on what I do or don't do, but upon what Jesus did on the Cross. Once I grasped that concept it was then and only then I received my deliverances from Alcohol, Drugs, cigarettes, etc. I found out God loved me not based upon my, "performance" but upon what he himself did on the Cross through Jesus Christ.
Why is it I don't see any of this in this other quote?Praise God for his great love, amen. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the Power of God to save and all its gifts the sure mercies of David.
Therefore I will say it again, God save the country of a people who pride themselves in keeping God's Commandments; and God condemn the country as well as its people who pride themselves in breaking God's Commandments! May the LORD consume them with the fire of his vengeance!
Here ya go.
