You guys never seem to see this little nugget when you interpret Paul into the 21st century:
Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law
You really ought to read the article posted above. It really lays out the coherence of the Bible. For this ridiculous contention that the Law is dead tol be true, a whole lot of Bible has to be false.
Mat 7:23 And then I will say to them I never knew you! Depart from Me, those working lawlessness
2Co 6:14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers; for what fellowship does righteousness have with lawlessness? And what partnership does light have with darkness?
2Th 2:7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already working, only he is now holding back until it comes out of the midst.
1Jo 3:4 Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness, for sin is lawlessness.
Since you seem to want to hijack this thread into a 7th Day Adventists dream of promoting Sabath worship, let me ask you a few questions....
Did Christ acquire a sinful nature?
Is it possible for anyone to have the assurance of salvation?
Why is it that nine of the commandments are reiterated in the New Testament, but the "duty" to keep the seventh day as Sabath is not mentioned ONCE?
When the New Testament lists sins, why is Sabath breaking absent?
Why does Ephesians 1:13 and 4:30 say that the seal of God is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and not the keeping of the Sabath?
Do you keep the Sabath by observing from sunset to sunset? No burden carried? No fire kindled (Would that include fire in the engine of your car)? And no cooking?
Do you then enforce these violations by death? (Numbers 15)
These are just a few of the many conflicts that I can post on the conflict of trying to put Sabath Keeping as a requirement for salvation. Please post your answers with Scriptural references.
Sincerely
