I could probably do it, but I'd have to use chapters and verses to steer you to it.
You know; those things that were ADDED by a Catholic - way back when.
Just like the Sabbath.
Hold on a minute guys; the popcorn needs a bit more butter.
The Sabbath was made for MAN, not the JEW. Yes, given to the JEW as God’s chosen people, His REPRESENTATIVES, as were the rest of the commandments. They are His moral law, the basis of His JUDGMENT on all mankind. Israel spent some time in Babylon, for their sins/abominations, and the greatest was worshiping the sun, which you guys do every Sunday, and of course breaking the Sabbath every Saturday. God gave Israel EXACTLY 490 YEARS, 70 weeks, to get it right. It all ended for them, as a chosen people, God’s representatives, at the stoning of Stephen. Finished.
1 Corinthians 7:19Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commandments is what counts.
You Nicolaitans just don’t get it. Sabbath haters gonna hate the Sabbath, hate God’s law and His authority, which is, in effect, what you are doing.
Already answered. No more butter for you (no soup either).
The LAW was given to the JEWS.
Houston: we have a problem.
Ephesians 1:3
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.
No mention of Mary here.
—> No mention of Mary here.
Strange how Romanians insist you provide verses for your beliefs,
but have none for half of what they teach…
And the half they have don’t say what they claim…
And then they tell you it’s OK because the church wrote the scriptures anyway….
And Paul said there were traditions we should follow, but they can’t find that darn list!
And Jesus did many things not recorded, so it must’ve been one of those things!
And the final refuge of a Romanian, “God could’ve done it that way if he wanted to!!”
And just in case, Mary would never lead anyone astray, so wear a scapular.
And have you noticed Mary only has one dress?
“The LAW was given to the JEWS.”
(Actually, Israel)
Although, it does seem that it was given by them, (The Jews)
“Judah is my Law giver”
No more literal Jew, no more literal Jewish sign.
If the Jewish nation had obeyed, and accepted Christ, would they still be God’s chosen people, and circumcision an everlasting covenant sign?
Circumcision was Old Covenant ceremonial law, done away with at the cross.
Oh, and the Jews said no salvation without circumcision. Paul said that was salvation by works, not faith.
Romans 3:
27Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith. 28For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. 29Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, 30since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith. 31Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.
FAITH unto salvation.......THEN keeping the commandments of God.
1 Corinthians 7:19Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commands is what counts.
Sounds like you and yours are no fans of God’s law.
——>The LAW was given to the JEWS.
Of course, they REPRESENTED God, as his chosen people, and had to act accordingly. Same goes for those IN CHRIST, as the CONTINUATION of, and the seed of, “Israel”.
The choice is between this and a foolish Galatian?
Salvation by grace (faith unto salvation), THEN obedience to God, in showing love for what He did on the cross for us.
John 14:15If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.
1 John 2:3By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments. 4If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a LIAR, and the truth is not in him.
Foolish Galatians don’t keep God’s commandments, out of love for what he did for them on the cross. Foolish Galatians hate God’s laws. They have accepted the ideology of their buddies, the Nicolaitans.
Sorry, dude. Christ says you are gravely mistaken.
The Christian Church is a CONTINUATION of the seed of Israel, and are expected to obey God’s eternal, moral law. It’s not optional. The Nicolaitans thought it was. They chose poorly. The OSAS/OJAJ believers of today are modern day Nicolaitans. God’s law is the standard in the judgment, and we are all going to be judged.
Matthew 5:
17Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Why do modern day Nicolaitans hate God’s law?
Hebrews 8:
7For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
Know the Lord...where have I seen that before? Oh, yeah.
1 John 2:3By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments. 4If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a LIAR, and the truth is not in him.
Elsie, do you KNOW Him?
Daniel 9:27: “And he [Jesus] shall confirm the covenant with many for one week....”
During this 70th week, the Gospel was preached ONLY to the Jews.
So the final week of the 70 week period left to the Jews continues unbroken from the baptism of Jesus in 27 A.D. thru to 34 A.D., to confirm and fulfill (seal up) the prophecy of Daniel.

Matt 10:5-6 (KJV)
5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
TO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL
Matt 15:21-24 (KJV)
21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
TO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL.
3 1/2 years of Christ’s ministry ONLY to the Jews, and a FINAL 3 1/2 years ONLY to the Jews, finally ending in the Jew’s rejection of Christ at the stoning of Stephen.
