We are not under obligation to keep the Ten Commandments to be in right standing with God any more. That’s the old covenant.

And show me where in Scripture that keeping the Lord’s Day holy means attending church.

And what about all those Catholics who go to mass on Saturday evening?

That’s not the Lord’s Day. Are they not keeping it holy then?

“We are not under obligation to keep the Ten Commandments to be in right standing with God any more. That’s the old covenant.”

I am sincerely grateful that you wrote the above. I do not understand such. I was in a group discussion just week or so ago and that issue was brought up and still has me perplexed. One individual stated we are free to do anything and used 1 Corinthians 8 as the basis of such. The context is regarding food sacrificed to idols and in verse 9 we are warned to not be a stumbling block to those who are weak. So if we are no longer obligated to keep the 10 commandments, can an individual be an adulterous murderer so long as such is done in secrecy so as not to wound a weaker individuals conscience? I had thought Christ came to fulfill the law rather than abolish it.

Again, I ask in all sincerity, and apologize for further going off topic, but this concept baffles me, and perhaps you can shed some light on this for me. Thanks.
