Good point.

Even the sabbath, if some chose to keep it would not make a person more or less moral, not keeping it would not either. Not studying the issue and trying to make a personal decision based on what is found in scripture would be choosing a less than moral path.

Unless you are a Jew living in the past dispensation you have no need for concern. The Jewish Sabbath was given to them only and was not Sunday.

Oh that's right. They had to get rid of one that the break so they split in half and dropped the one they don't like. If they only knew that they are not under the law perhaps they could come to Christ.

Actually, we are under the 10 Commandments. It is the Law of Moses that was nailed on the Cross. You are wrong about the Sabbath only being for the Jews. Jesus, Himself, said that if we loved Him, we would follow His Father's Commandments. You can't change that and take it out of the New Testament, no matter how much you would like.

But Jesus said that to Jews and not Gentiles since He was not set to any but Israel. You can't change that or take it out of the New Testament, no matter how much you would like to.

You are wrong of course. Jesus said it to the Jews and Gentiles. BTW, the Jews follow the Torah, The Law, which happens to be the first 5 books of the Bible. Even the Jews would call you on your statements. I know this since I attended a Synagogue for over a year.

You don't want to follow Christ? Fine, then don't follow, but don't try to change the facts to suit your false narratives.

It is both. I really don't understand why nso many people have so much trouble with how to understand the total context of what they read. Stop cherry picking your darn scriptures. That is spiritual immaturity.

Well I shall continue to follow Jesus and believe what He said even when you say it's a lie.

Romans 10:4
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

Galatians 2:21
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Romans 6:15
15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
