Sunday: There is support for the Sunday Sabbath in the NT.

A simple understanding or Jewish reckoning of day (evening to evening) will reveal that in Acts the OPPOSITE is true. The Sabbath is the Seventh day - God does not change as you so correctly said.

Respectfully, there is a very clear command to Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.

Amen!

Why did God directly write some of His laws at Sinai on stone tablets - the ones destroyed by Moses in his righteous anger?

And then write them again 40 days later? Those tablets were in the Ark of the Covenant. Those are summary, and the divisions of "ceremonial," "civil," and "moral" are man-made and arbitrary. Is Sabbath civil or moral? Or maybe it is ceremonial. No, quite clearly the Word says there is "One Law" (Exodus 12:49 - BEFORE Mt. Sinai).

Also, you will note that the ENTIRE Law was written on the stones on Mt. Ebal.

Guilt by association; I think you're better than that... Easter and Christmas have their roots in ancient pagan religigions like Zoroastrianism.

From your words alone, I would never lump you with such - but since you brought up Easter and Christmas, I would reject them PRECISELY because of their pagan origins and present practice.

God does not change and therefore neither does the standard for sin

Amen! In line with the Acts 15 command against eating blood, you can see this as well... which brings us back to the question - what about pig, shellfish, etc.? God had those standards for sin before - what changed?

Thank you for responding to my rhetoric. I am a firm believer that the Word is living and active - that all of it from Genesis to Revelation has applicability to us today and should be practiced to the degree possible - not to earn salvation (laughable), but having TRUSTED in the eternal and enduring sacrifice of the Lamb without stain (Jesus) - we are called to live like He did - obedient to God's Laws - all of them - because He has written them on our hearts.

Shalom Friend.
