Show me ONE command in the NT that states that is reuired for us now, and the early church worship and gathered on Sunday, right?
We believe in jesus, who was the Sin bearer, and believing unto Him, we have been justified before God, which no amount of law keeping could ever do!Luk_4:4 But Yeshua answered him, saying, “It has been written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of Elohim.’Its amazing how the paganized church can take one verse of a meeting and attempt to totally change and eternal command of the Father that was from Creation and written in stone. Its even more amazing gullible people fall into this easy to see trap and justify disobedience on a simple gathering one. Why are your hearts so hard? Why don't you believe?
What is sin?We believe in jesus, who was the Sin bearer, and believing unto Him, we have been justified before God, which no amount of law keeping could ever do!
What is sin?
Anything that misses the mark, any thought or deed thatdisobeys God.What is sin?
1Jn 3:4 Everyone doing sin also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.Anything that misses the mark, any thought or deed thatdisobeys God.
Jesus was using that againstt those who were Gnostics though, who claimed could know about jesus, get saved, and live as they still wanted to, sowing to their flesh!1Jn 3:4 Everyone doing sin also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.
Can you show mr just ONE command to us in the NT to keepthe Sabbath, as the early church kept Sunday as day of worship!
The Church meant for worship on the first day of the week, on the Lords day, when jesus was raised! And jesus would have kept the Sabbath, as he was still under the law, and the early christians did gather in the temble, so they would have observed for awhile, but once a clean break with Judaism was done...Can you show just ONE instance in the NT that Jesus did NOT <<keep the Sabbath>>, or as the early church did NOT keep the Sabbath as day of worship?
Can you show just ONE occasion in the NT where Jesus kept Sunday, as day of worship? Or as the early church kept Sunday as day of worship?
Now for every time, instance or occasion that you cannot--which is ad infinitum--, the New Testament <shows>, that is, <commands>, that Jesus kept the Sabbath and the early Church just as He, kept the Sabbath as day of worship, and that He, just as the early Church, kept the Sabbath as day of worship.
And for every time, instance or occasion that you cannot show anything, the New Testament does <show>, that is, <command>, that the NT Church shall keep no other day as day of worship than the Sabbath.
Asking what you're asking or rather, do arrogate, implies that Jesus' life was useless as an example, and his teaching is useless as commands, and above all his Resurrection from the dead "ON THE SABBATH", is useless as inspiring power unto the obedience of The Faith.

Every age is one of Law. We are to always obey the King of the Universe from the Garden clear into the new heavens and earth.

His Voice = found in torah
His Word = torah
It is so simple. Obey the Father
Joh_14:15 “If you love Me, you shall guard My commands.
Every age is law:No, Jason, every Age is not one of Law.
You do realize that prior to the Covenant of Law...there was no Covenant of Law, right?
You realize before the creation of Israel, there was no Israel, right?
Consider:
Romans 5:12-14
King James Version (KJV)
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
From the time of Adam to Moses...there was no Covenant of Law.
That does not mean there was no command of God for the lives of men, there were, but, the (Covenant of) Law has to be distinguished and kept in it's proper context.
This...
...is what you want to believe.
This...
Romans 5:12-14
King James Version (KJV)
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
...is what God wants you to believe.
You do that and you will be "guarding His commandments."
The "Torah" did not create the World, my friend. It wasn't to be found until God gave it unto Moses.
There is a difference between the Word and the WORD.
One is God, and one is of God.
Agreed:
Isaiah 9:6
King James Version (KJV)
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
So tell me...did the disciples, when they scattered and abandoned the Lord...guard His commands?
When they went back to fishing, did they "abide in the True Vine?"
The answer is no, they did not. For different reasons, but still, the answer is no.
God bless.
Poor rephrasing is incorrect. Let me rephrase your rephraisal. [emoji41]
God's law is perfect. It shows me that I am a sinner and that my punishment is death.
God's grace is greater than the law and by Jesus substitutionary atonement my debt has been paid in full for my past sins, my present sins and my future sins.
Does this mean I continue in sin so that grace may abound? God forbid! Read the rest of Romans 6 for more...
Galatians is written to condemn those who, being saved by grace, are teaching that you must obey all the law to remain saved. You are teaching like a condemned Galatian.
Romans 6:1-14
[1]Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace?
[2]Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it?
[3]Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death?
[4]For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives.
[5]Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised to life as he was.
[6]We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin.
[7]For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin.
[8]And since we died with Christ, we know we will also live with him.
[9]We are sure of this because Christ was raised from the dead, and he will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him.
[10]When he died, he died once to break the power of sin. But now that he lives, he lives for the glory of God.
[11]So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus.
[12]Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to sinful desires.
[13]Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God.
[14]Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.
LOL, you didn't even address the issue. Will you admit your argument is weak?A whore only has their eye on reward and penalty.
Here is a new concept for you, try loving God for free.
You do realize that prior to the Covenant of Law...there was no Covenant of Law, right?
A whore only has their eye on reward and penalty.

Every age is law:
Garden was lost by breaking His command
Abraham was chosen because He kept His command
Israel was chosen to give His commands
Israel lost the land because they broke His commands
Jesus came to fill up the commands and walk them perfectly
The new covenant is one of His commands written on our hearts and minds
Always about obedience
What do you mean by <<the Covenant of Law>>?
If God is the Law,
when and what was <<the Covenant of Law>>?
If God is The Law, The Law, is God,
and God, <prior to the Covenant of Law> in the Scriptures, "was"!
"THE WORD..." --The Word-Law-- "... that was with God in the beginning, in the beginning WAS God!" ... already.
Therefore, <<You do realize that prior to the Covenant of Law...there was no Covenant of Law, right?>>
NO! Wrong!!
I mean the Covenant of Law. Also known as the Mosaic Covenant, Moses' Law, the First Covenant, the Old Covenant, and...the Law.
God is God, and the Law is...
1. The Word of God, the Pentateuch;
2. The Word of God, the entirety of God's Revelation;
3. The Covenant established by God with Israel.
These are the Biblical uses of the "Law" as it pertains to Israel (within the context of this discussion).
It is the Covenant established by God with Israel, which was established until Christ should come.
Galatians 4:21-24
King James Version (KJV)
21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
Where did you get such an idea?
That is correct, the Eternal God has always existed.
The WORD of John 1 is not the "Word of Law," it is a term used to designate The Son of God.
It is just a Basic Bible Doctrine, Gerhard: Prior to the Covenant of Law was the Abrahamic Covenant, which Paul's tells us...
Galatians 3:15-19
King James Version (KJV)
15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
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.
...that the Covenant of Law was established because of transgressions, and that the establishing of that Covenant did not disannul the Promises of the Abrahamic Covenant, and in fact...
...all promises of God are fulfilled in the New Covenant.
This Covenant was in effect from the time it was established...
Exodus 24:7-8
King James Version (KJV)
7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the Lord hath said will we do, and be obedient.
8 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these words.
...until the time the New Covenant was established...
Hebrews 10:14-18
King James Version (KJV)
14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
In v.18 it is made clear that Remission of sin is complete, for those who are sanctified, not by the blood of bulls, goats, and calves, but by the Blood of Christ.
In Hebrews 10:26 those who reject the New Covenant are said to receive a greater punishment than those who rejected the Covenant of Law, and that there is no more offering of sin:
Hebrews 10:26-29
King James Version (KJV)
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
Same statement, just directed at two different groups.
If we are sanctified by the Blood of Christ, there is no more offering for sin.
If we reject the Sacrifice of Christ...there is no more offering for sin.
Those who seek to be under Law again, despite the much warning given in Scripture, do precisely what the Writer warns not to do, they (v.29)...
1. Trod under foot Christ the Son of God;
2. They count the Blood (Death) by which the New Covenant was established unholy, which by implication means...
3. They count Christ unholy;
4. They reject the New Covenant;
5. They reject the Ministry of the Spirit of Grace, the Comforter, which is...
...the blasphemy of the Holy Ghost, because if one rejects God ministering to their hearts that they might be saved through Christ, they reject the only Sacrifice which can result in Eternal Redemption, hence...
there is no more offering/sacrifice for sin, which, in the context of the Book of Hebrews, refers to the Hebrew People seeking to remain under the Covenant of Law (which is apparent throughout the Book, and referred to often).
God bless.
1Jn_4:8 The one who does not love does not know Elohim, for Elohim is love.
1Jn_4:19 We love Him because He first loved us.
How do we love Him?
1Jn_5:2 By this we know that we love the children of Elohim, when we love Elohim and guard His commands.
1Jn_5:3 For this is the love for Elohim, that we guard His commands, and His commands are not heavy,
Joh_14:15 “If you love Me, you shall guard My commands.
Deu_6:5 “And you shall love יהוה your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your might.
Deu 6:6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
Lev 19:18 ‘Do not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the children of your people. And you shall love your neighbour as yourself. I am יYHVH
Deu_5:10 but showing kindness to thousands, to those who love Me and guard My commands.
Deu_7:9 “And you shall know that יהוה your Elohim, He is Elohim, the trustworthy Ěl guarding covenant and kindness for a thousand generations with those who love Him, and those who guard His commands,
Deu_10:19 “And you shall love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Mitsrayim.
Deu_11:22 ‘For if you diligently guard all these commands which I command you, to do it, to love יהוה your Elohim, to walk in all His ways, and to cling to Him,
So we see that by obeying the commands of YHVH we love him. Jesus came preaching the same commands (His Father's Words). Love is no new concept and is from the beginning.
How do we not love Him?
Joh_14:24 “He who does not love Me does not guard My Words. And the Word which you hear is not Mine but of the Father Who sent Me.
Conclusion: Obey torah - every command you can to show your love and dedication to the Father and His Sent One
Luk_4:4 But Yeshua answered him, saying, “It has been written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of Elohim.’ ”
And please, don't forget this very important commandment so you LIVE:
Exo_31:15 ‘Six days work is done, and on the seventh is a Sabbath of rest, set-apart to יYHVH Everyone doing work on the Sabbath day shall certainly be put to death.
