Notice how you evaded answering my question about why don't you kill Christians for not observing your "Sabbath." Why can't you answer that? OT law demands it.

I don't evade anything. I don't kill Christians for being deceived....would you? Pay special attention to verse 13.

Your interpretation of Colossians is erroneous, IMO.

Well, your opinion is wrong....and here is why. Colossians 2:14 Paul writes, speaking of Christ, "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way....nailing it to the cross." In Ephesians 2:15 Paul says, "Having abolished in his (Christ's) flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make himself of two, one new man, so making peace.

These verses do not do away with God's Laws. The term "ordinances" is translated from the Greek, DOGMA, referring to HUMAN laws and decrees. You find this evident in Mark 7:6-9.....the traditions of men. Again, these verses are not referring to God's Law.

Our Saviour did not do away with any part of God's Law [Matthew 5:17] and this would include the Ten Commandments.

Now, why don't you explain to me why your Magesterium cannot understand the simple language of Matthew 28:1?

I agree that He didn't abolish the Ten Commandments and all the moral laws, but I disagree that we are still under bondage of the Mosaic laws. Christ is the fulfillment of the Law and we are only under His law.

Galatians 3:9-14

Consequently, those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham who had faith.

For all who depend on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed be everyone who does not persevere in doing all the things written in the book of the law."

And that no one is justified before God by the law is clear, for "the one who is righteous by faith will live."

But the law does not depend on faith; rather, "the one who does these things will live by them."

Christ ransomed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written, "Cursed be everyone who hangs on a tree,"

that the blessing of Abraham might be extended to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

I think that is patently obvious there is now a new law and that law is Christ that we are under.

I don't evade anything. I don't kill Christians for being deceived....would you? Pay special attention to verse 13.

But you are going against the law! The Lord commanded the Israelites to put to death a man who collected sticks on the Sabbath. See Numbers 15:32. What good is the law if you're going to make exceptions to the rule? Which one of you Saturday Sabbath keepers is going to come forward and stone us Sunday worshiping Christians?

Well, I can answer your dilemma for you. It's right in the book of Hosea 2:11

And I will cause all her mirth to cease, her solemnities, her new moons, her sabbaths, and all her festival times.

Here we come full circle to what St. Paul was saying that those things were shadows. And... Hosea 2:20

"And I will espouse thee to me in faith: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

Now, why don't you explain to me why your Magesterium cannot understand the simple language of Matthew 28:1?

Oh they understand it my friend. Their magesterial ancestors were living it!
