When people tell you they keep all nine of the Ten Commandments either their math skills are lacking or their logic center has shut down.

That's nothing. The New Testaments records fity commandments of Jesus, and His disciples are to "observe" them all (Mt. 28:20).

One of them is that each (at least of the men, but I would include women) is to carry a sidearm of a deadly weapon, and if one does not have the cash, to sell your extra coat to get one. Do you know how many of the disciples at the Last Supper were already armed?

Do you carry a sidearm to church? As did the Pilgrims?

I don’t see sidearm carrying in the Ten Commandments. Were the instructions to them personally? for a special occasion? The main Commands He spoke of were to love God with all thine heart and all thy might and your neighbor as yourself. These are the two precepts of the Ten Commandments. The first four are our obligation to God (KJV) and the last six our obligation to our fellow man. This is the Law of God.

Correction to Post#115: . . . fifty commandments . . .

Here is one place that a training course in them can be found:

Commands of Christ,
Series 1-7 Set by Institute In Basic Life Principles
(click here)

(The 49 they list does not include the 50th imperative that I mentioned, for some reason; Luke 22:36)

Well this is kind of a misnomer. Jesus didn't teach anything that WASN'T already in scripture. He taught what his father taught...

Joh 15:8  By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. 
Joh 15:9  "As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. 
Joh 15:10  If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. 

Jesus could only abide in his father's love by following HIS commandments...one of which was the sabbath which Jesus definitely obeyed.

It's abundantly clear that the abandonment of the holy sabbath is a time honored tradition of man and NOT a commandment or wish of Jesus Christ. Church history is clear on this.
