You really don’t get what I’m saying. Either that or you’re purposely not getting it. I noticed that you avoided my other question about Christ’s fulfillment of the Law. Did God have to re-do things when Christ fulfilled the Old Law? Or do you not believe that He fulfilled the Old Law?

Yes Jesus fulfilled the law but he did not do away with them, he put them in our hearts and minds, what he done away with is the rituals involving the laws, the ten commandments.
we don’t suggest God has to destroy all of his works and go back and do it over , do we? >>>>>
I did not say you did, I said it is the only way it could be changed.
But the Church is trying to invent approval of Sunday worship even though they do not need it.
And they are falsely using it as if it were the Christian Sabbath.
Why don`t they just tell it like it is, it is the day that Christ rose and so a day to rejoice and a day of worship?
They do not need to invent excuses.
But it is not the Sabbath.
John 14
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
The eighth commandment is one of them and they are all part of the two great commandments.
I have always worked on the seventh day and have not always rested or went to church on the day that Christ rose which is the first day.
But that does not mean that I do not recognize that Christ rose on the first day of the week and that the day of rest is on the seventh day of the week.
I just work when I can work and I go to Church when ever I want which any more is very seldom.
I do not have to go through any ritual to show what my faith is, as James said in
James2
8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone......
The letter of the law will not save us because we can not keep it to the letter, we will offend in some way, besides if we could even a robot could.
But if we keep the law in our hearts we know when we have sinned and can ask forgiveness.
