Ten Commandments Still Apply Especially 7th Day Sabbath 

"Christ did away with the law of Moses"

In Apologetics Christians use the principle of harmony of Scripture (or, Scripture interprets Scripture): “no part of Scripture can be interpreted in such a way as to render it in conflict with what is clearly taught elsewhere in Scripture” (RC Sproul).

I agree with this Christian principle even though Christianity does NOT follow this rule at all. If they did they would not be able to blatantly contradict Yehoshua (pw Jesus) concerning the very status quo today of the Torah, the law of Moses given to him by Yahuah the Father. They are deaf to Yehoshua's teaching and warnings:

Mat 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law [TORAH] or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to FULLY PREACH (Greek: pleroo) them. Mat 5:18  For truly, I say to you, until shamayim (pw heaven) and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law [TORAH]until all is accomplished. Mat 5:19  Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven), but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of shamayim. Mat 5:20  For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven).

They instead make the claim that:

"The law is what shows people they are in sin and leads us to Christ (Galatians 3:19, 24)."

At the same time they will also say:

"He did away with the law, “having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross” (Colossians 2:14)."

If the law/ Torah itself, as they say, is what was nailed to the stake/tree (pw cross), then it surely cannot do anything. How can it lead us anywhere then? But we know that it was not the Torah that was nailed to the persecution stake. It was instead our debt of past Torah transgression that was nailed to the tree.

Nonetheless they contradict themselves and indeed admit that the Torah remains to lead them to the real Anointed One in the scriptures, Yehoshua. But if it leads them to Yehoshua then why do they still refuse to hear what he says concerning the keeping of the Torah? Instead they are deaf to his words. They become the "whoever" in verse 19 that relaxes or abolishes one of the least commandments:

Mat 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law [TORAH] or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to FULLY PREACH (Greek: pleroo) them. Mat 5:18  For truly, I say to you, until shamayim (pw heaven) and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law [TORAH]until all is accomplished. Mat 5:19  Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven), but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of shamayim. Mat 5:20  For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven).

It is obvious that they are deaf to his words since they love the things of this world and they love unrighteousness.

The status quo of the Torah today is that it remains as long as the earth and shamayim (pw heaven) remain. There is no distinction between a moral or ceremonial law as some refer to. Those who make this assertion claim that the so-called, ceremonial law was nailed to the stake and the moral law is what is left. This is false. Rather it is that all of the Torah remains except that which is connected to the requirement of a haykal ( temple). That is no longer valid since Yahuah the Father destroyed the haykal (pw temple) as prophesied and Yehoshua brought an end to the animal offering through his own offering.

Yahuah and Yehoshua have not destroyed or abolished the Torah neither the punishment which is death. If nailing it to the stake (pw cross) meant punishment were abolished then no one would need a savior to lead them into righteousness AFTER justification either.

As believers we are his haykal. Whether the Sabbath is seen as a ceremonial law or not, breaking it becomes a major moral issue. You are disobeying Yahuah, the first moral command to love and obey him fully as taught by Yehoshua. You are also not being moral, for example, to your servant on the Sabbath if you make him work. This happens with e.g Rabbinic Jews of Judaism who employ Gentiles (Shabbas goy) to work for them, serving them on the Shabbat. This is wrong morally and ceremonially. Yahuah hates such transgression.

Exo 20:10  But the seventh day is the sabbath of YAHUAH (pw the LORD) thy Eloheem ( pw God): in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy STRANGER that is within thy gates:

When we used to go on vacations my wife and I would arrive on yom shishi ( Friday) and tell the servant at the hotel not to clean the room on Shabbat, even though we were essentially paying for the service. This is a moral obligation of Torah.

Filthy-Rags, Filthy-Fruit Religion

This is my view of the perverted unrighteous fruit of Christian Dogma and its rotten view of the Righteousness of the Torah and the Fruits of Righteousness we are to produce through it. (for more see : Filthy Rags or Righteous Fruit )

Christianity claims Yehoshua did away with the laws of Moses as if it were rotten fruit that had surpassed its shelf life. Then somehow Yehoshua still managed to cherry pick bits of this rotten fruit for a false religion that would appear 100 years later called Christianity. Apparently, Yehoshua the Master of the Sabbath went through the Torah basket. He then found the Sabbath lying at the bottom, a rotten apple full of worms. "Can't have that", he said, and tossed it out too.

"He did away with the law, “having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross” (Colossians 2:14)."

Again they contradict Yehoshua and break their own law of Scriptural Harmony. The earth still remains and none of it has passed away. There is no rotten fruit in the Torah basket.

Mat 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law [TORAH] or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to FULLY PREACH (Greek: pleroo) them. Mat 5:18  For truly, I say to you, until shamayim (pw heaven) and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law [TORAH]until all is accomplished. Mat 5:19  Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven), but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of shamayim. Mat 5:20  For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven). 

Apostle Shaul A Relaxer of the Law?

If they claim that their "Christ"  leads them,  then Yehoshua is the one they must obey. They cannot follow anyone who contradicts him, not even Apostle Shaul. But they proudly quote and interpret bits of Apostle Shaul's letters in a way that clearly contradicts Yehoshua. They make Shaul appear as the "whoever" in verse 19 who relaxes the Torah:

Mat 5:19  Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven)

But even worse than that, they make Apostle Shaul appear to teach the doing away with of all Torah, not just relaxing the least of the commandments. This is a serious allegation and a contradiction of Biblical proportions. It breaks their own accepted law of Scriptural Harmony.

Next they claim

"nobody can be justified (or, made right with 'God') by the law (Romans 3:20)."

Regardless of whether the Torah makes us right or not, or justifies us or not, Yehoshua has said that it remains and we are to preach it and keep all of it to enter the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven). Yehoshua leads us, not Apostle Shaul (or rather not Apostle Shaul's misquoted teaching):

Mat 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law [TORAH] or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to FULLY PREACH (Greek: pleroo) them. Mat 5:18  For truly, I say to you, until shamayim (pw heaven) and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law [TORAH]until all is accomplished. Mat 5:19  Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven), but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of shamayim. Mat 5:20  For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven).

Now if they really heard what Yehoshua says and obeyed it without any contradiction in Scriptural Harmony then there would be no further need to argue this point on the Sabbath. But since they pervert Apostle Shaul's writings over and over we will have to defend him since Apostle Shaul is not a Torahless cult leader. He was not a Christian and did not break Scriptural Harmony. We must expose Christianity's contradiction, confusion and ultimately its body of lies.

Christianity breaks the 9th Commandment and bears false witness against Apostle Shaul:

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. (Ex 20:16)

If Apostle Shaul really had taught us against keeping the Sabbath as they claim then he would be their idol and Yahuah would not be their Eloheem. They thus break the 1st Commandment Ex 20:3.

Thou shalt have no other mighty ones (pw gods) before me. (Exo 20:3)

So how do they pervert Apostle Shaul? How do they make him their mighty one, that "whoever" that has the power to even abolish the Torah which not even Yehoshua could do? They apply the canceling of debt that was against us to mean that the Torah has been done away with.

"He did away with the law, “having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross” (Colossians 2:14)."

The handwriting of requirements that was against us is the debt of original Torah transgression and the debt of ignorant Torah transgression. 

Col 2:14  by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands (death). This he set aside, nailing it to the stake/ stauros (pw cross).

Rom 6:23  For the wages of Torah transgression (pw sin) is death; but the gift of Eloheem is eternal life through Yehoshua Ha Mashiach / the Anointed one our Master (pw Jesus Christ our Lord).

The Torah remains as Yehoshua has said. It is very important then to note that one who has been redeemed from past debt while he was "yet a sinner" can still accrue new debt by transgressing Torah willfully and by not repenting / teshuva/ turning to obedience. Apostle Shaul has emphatically taught such a thing, but they conveniently leave this out because they have another idol, Mr Calvin of the Once Saved Always Saved (OSAS) cult.

The law of Torah transgression (pw sin) and death is part of Torah it is what one earns, it is the "wages of sin". If we continue to transgress Torah willfully we face death whether Yehoshua has died for us or not. But because he has died it applies all the more with greater punishment to those who reject the Torah. We must repent and stop willfully transgressing the Torah.

Heb 10:26  For if we go on transgressing Torah (pw sinning) deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a offering ( pw sacrifice) for Torah transgressions, Heb 10:27  but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. (death of body and soul in yam esh).

They do not hear Apostle Shaul. We will come back to this teaching by Shaul later specifically as it relates to the Sabbath.

Let us hear some more confusion and lies form the Christian camp:

"But, you may say that it’s still a sin to murder, to have idols before God, and to steal. Yes, that is true. We do not do those things, as Christians, because Christ instructed us not to do them. The New Testament repeats all the 10 Commandments (except for the 4th one: remember the Sabbath), for us to follow. Since we are under His will and testament, we do not steal, murder, covet, or do any of the other things that Christ has commanded us not to do."

Yet they have already made the claim at the outset:

"Christ did away with the law of Moses"

So then what are they doing keeping these laws of Moses? Their so-called "Christ" is a very confused character since apparently he did away with the law of Moses" but then taught it to be kept.

"we do not steal, murder, covet, or do any of the other things that Christ has commanded us not to do."

From this it is clear that they will go a long way around the bush to simply get to one excuse, choosing to relax or abolish one of the commands that they find so vile, specifically the Sabbath, since they have deemed it least in their own evil Torahless hearts. Saying Christ has done away with it, but then keeping the other laws of Moses that are supposed to be included as done away with is a great contradiction yet again. So, no matter which way they turn they are tangled in a web of lies and contradiction since they refuse to accept the plain and simple words of Yehoshua:

Mat 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law [TORAH] or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to FULLY PREACH (Greek: pleroo) them. Mat 5:18  For truly, I say to you, until shamayim (pw heaven) and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law [TORAH]until all is accomplished. Mat 5:19  Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven), but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of shamayim. Mat 5:20  For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven).

The Silence of the Sabbath?

Silebt Sabbath?Next lie:

"...all of the commandments that were given to Moses at Mount Sinai are repeated in the New Testament, with the exception of Sabbath-keeping (that’s why that section is blank)."

It is only blank since they have made it so upon their hearts. They cover their ears. They have declared the Sabbath as not only the least but selectively abolished as a law of Moses while others remain. It is rather unclear which they choose as remaining depending on which are convenient to them by their own rebellious decision.

Do they hear the Anointed one??? No they cover their ears. Is he silent when it comes to the sabbath. No, he says it is kept regardless of whether you think it is least or greatest, convenient or inconvenient. Let him speak yet again:

Mat 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law [TORAH] or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to FULLY PREACH (Greek: pleroo) them. Mat 5:18  For truly, I say to you, until shamayim (pw heaven) and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law [TORAH]until all is accomplished. Mat 5:19  Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven), but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of shamayim. Mat 5:20  For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven).

Master Over Something That Does Not Exist?

If the sabbath is done away with then there would be no Master appointed over it by Yahuah. Christians call this "Jesus"(J-Zeus) their "Lord" (Baal) but we call Yehoshua our Anointed and Appointed Master over the Shabbat, being our High Priest.

Mar 2:28  So the Son of Man is Master (pw Lord) even of the Sabbath.

Yehoshua indeed is Master of the Sabbath since he has said he has not abolished it and nobody, no "whoever", no man can relax it:

Mat 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law [TORAH] or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to FULLY PREACH (Greek: pleroo) them. Mat 5:18  For truly, I say to you, until shamayim (pw heaven) and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law [TORAH]until all is accomplished. Mat 5:19  Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven), but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of shamayim. Mat 5:20  For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven).

This is why he plainly states

Mar 2:27  ...The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:

Reality Check

Man does not have authority over the Sabbath. It is there for man to obey and enjoy.

False religion does not have authority over the Sabbath. It is there for man to obey and enjoy.

True religion does not have authority over the Sabbath. It is there for man to obey and enjoy, period!


Apostle Shaul The Sabbath Preacher

So did Apostle Shaul preach against the keeping of the Torah or more specifically against Sabbath keeping? Ironically the teacher whose words they pervert to provide a body of lies against the keeping of the sabbath, they conveniently silence when it comes to their claim that the Brit Chadasha (pw New Testament) is silent on Sabbath keeping. As we said we would come back to this verse as it relates specifically to the Sabbath.

Heb 10:26  For if we go on transgressing Torah (pw sinning) deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a offering ( pw sacrifice) for Torah transgressions, Heb 10:27  but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. (death of body and soul in yam esh).

Apostle Shaul has clearly confirmed Yehoshua's words that the Torah has not been done away with and remains to be obeyed. It is now not to be willfully disobeyed. The Torah has led us to  Yehoshua Ha Mashiach ( the Anointed One) and Yehoshua has pointed us to the keeping of his Father's Torah, ALL OF IT.

Would Shaul speak about all of Torah to be obeyed and exclude the Sabbath here in contradiction to Yehoshua? Is he that "whoever" who relaxes the least of the commandments. NO! On the contrary this command to keep all the Torah to avoid a "fearful expectation of judgment" comes flowing out of the very context of the SABBATH and exposes the Christian as a bold shameless liar!

Shaul just prior to this in the preceding verse is referring to the gathering or assembling of the saints

Heb 10:25  not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Heb 10:26  For if we go on transgressing Torah (pw sinning) deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a offering ( pw sacrifice) for Torah transgressions, Heb 10:27  but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. (death of body and soul in yam esh).

And  what day is Apostle Shaul talking of? Go back to chapter four for context:

Heb 4:9  There remaineth therefore a Sabbath keeping (Greek: sabbatismos) to the people of Eloheem.

When we rest on the Shabat we are still doing it as YAHUAH did that first Shabat at Creation. NOTHING HAS CHANGED

 Heb 4:10  For he that is entered into his (ELOHEEM'S) REST , he also hath ceased from his own works, AS ELOHEEM DID FROM HIS.

"As Eloheem did from his" means we weekly memorialise what he did by doing the same.

Heb 4:11  Let us labour therefore to enter into THAT REST (the one that ELOHEEM DID ON THE SEVENTH DAY, RESTING FROM WORK), lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. (aka APOSTASY)  

Heb 10:26  For if we go on transgressing Torah (pw sinning) deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a offering ( pw sacrifice) for Torah transgressions, Heb 10:27  but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. (death of body and soul in yam esh).

So profaning the Shabbat every week - to rest and furthermore meet together as believers on that day is a serious Torah transgression. Those who discourage it are accruing the debt, of willful Torah transgression to themselves, which is death. Yehoshua has no way to stop the punishment coming to those who willfully break the Torah and refuse to repent.

Heb 10:25  not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Heb 10:26  For if we go on transgressing Torah (pw sinning) deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a offering ( pw sacrifice) for Torah transgressions, Heb 10:27  but a fearful expectation of judgment, the leastand a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. (death of body and soul in yam esh).

Mat 5:17-29 says as long as shamayim and the earth remain the Torah remains  that is the ten commandments and all of Torah that still applies ( e.g wearing blue tassels, keeping the feast of unleavened bread, ensuring a guard rail exists on a flat roof etc., etc., etc...). The Torah does not allow cherry-picking those commands which are convenient and ignoring those which are not.








Historical Context

To further cement your understanding - when did the early Gentile converts meet to learn the Torah and teachings of Yehoshua? Answer: The Shabat - they worked 6 days (as commanded) and assembled on the Shabat to HEAR THE WORD PREACHED. They did not have Gideon Bibles on their side tables to read and study or podcasts from Apostle Shaul! This was not 2024 in the USA. The whole reason for the Jerusalem Council was around the matter of Gentiles wanting to assemble on the Sabbath WITH THE YAHUDIM (pw Jews) to hear the Torah (Moses) preached. There was no need to mention Sabbath keeping since it was the FOUNDATION to pause from work (Shabat) and hear the WORD

Council

preached.

Act 15:21  For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the assemblies (pw synagogues) every sabbath day.

Rom 10:17  So moral conviction / emunah (pw faith) comes from hearing, and hearing through the word (TORAH) of the Anointed one.

But do they hear the word on any day, let alone the Sabbath, no they reject his WORD . Thus they have no  moral  conviction (pw faith). They reject his words concerning all of Torah .

Mat 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law [TORAH] or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to FULLY PREACH (Greek: pleroo) them. Mat 5:18  For truly, I say to you, until shamayim (pw heaven) and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law [TORAH]until all is accomplished. Mat 5:19  Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven), but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of shamayim. Mat 5:20  For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven).

They will not hear the law of Moses. They believe neither Moses nor Yehoshua.

Luk 16:31  And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
Joh 7:19  Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?

Yehoshua the Master of the Sabbath went to great lengths to show how to keep the Sabbath. There was no silence at all concerning it. He spoke at lengths and demonstrated practically what can and cannot be done on the Sabbath which the Pharisees had burdened with their own laws / restrictions (takanot) not commanded in the scriptures. If Sabbath were not to be kept then Yehoshua would not have gone to such great lengths to magnify it by teaching how to keep it properly. He would have simply said the Sabbath is done away with, but he did not. He said all of Torah remains (Again : Mat 5:17-20).

This article is not exhaustive proof for keeping Shabbat. If Christians claim reasons for not keeping the Sabbath then it is not what early believers believed. It is another religion altogether since historically those early believers (prior to 100AD), Yahudim and Gentiles, were keeping Shabbat, even a whole city that came on the Shabbat. We have many videos and articles which cover these facts.   Also see: Jerusalem Council In Acts 15 Did What?


Defending Apostle Shaul

So let us continue to defend and preach Apostle Shaul's truth.

"Nobody can be justified (or, made right with God) by the law (Romans 3:20)."

What Law? This is referring to the Law of Circumcision.

We have just concluded that there is no clear distinction between moral and ceremonial law in the scriptures but now they would have us believe that there is a distinction between the whole Torah versus the Sabbath somewhere in this text as it applies to the Sabbath but not to the rest of the ten commandments which they claim to "keep". This in itself is another contradiction since they will often protest that no one can "keep the law" when we speak of "keeping the Sabbath". So then how are they making a claim that they are "keeping" it by "keeping" some of it?

What has been given to us as justification has nothing to do with the Torah being removed but rather to do with us being justified to begin obeying it, keeping it, all of it, as it applies today without a haykal,  since there is no distinction, moral or ceremonial, by their own submission.

If justification were a means for removing the Torah then Shaul would state which laws. He would state that all of the Torah remains but the Sabbath does not remain. However we see the glaring truth, we see the exact opposite when looking at the sabbath.

Heb 4:9  There remaineth therefore a Sabbath (Greek :Sabbatismos) to the people of Eloheem.

Are we surprised? No, Apostle Shaul preached all of Torah ( Mat 5:17-20) as commanded and it would seem that under the inspiration of Yahuah's Spirit he preached this knowing what lies and apostasy would come with regards to keeping the Sabbath, a command incidentally we are also told to REMEMBER to keep.

Exo 20:8  Remember the sabbath day, to keep it set apart ( pw holy).

The law Apostle Shaul is referring to in Romans 3:20 is the law of circumcision (works or deeds of the law/ or works of the flesh) in any case, not the Torah as a whole which indeed purifies us along with justification. It is an ongoing process toward salvation. (For more see Salvation When Does it Take Place?)

Joh 17:17  Purify (pw sanctify) them through thy truth: thy word [Torah] is truth.

Shaul was saying that Circumcision does not justify one as righteous unless one actually does or keeps the Torah. It is not simply a statement sealed by a sign. He said Yahudim (pw Jews) cannot reject Gentile believers based on their uncircumcision when they themselves being circumcised might be breaking Torah and yet the Gentiles might be keeping Torah while being uncircumcised. Yahuah then looks at us all equally justified now that his Son has come to redeem us of our ignorant and wilfull Torah transgression as a whole and we are all accepted or justified to BEGIN TO WALK AND OBEY ALL OF TORAH (Mat5:17-20), whether circumcised or uncircumcised of the flesh. Of course not all do accept the walk of obedience, they hate the Torah even after justification.

Rom 4:10-11 How was it then reckoned? when he (Abram) was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. And he (Abrahan) received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the moral conviction (pw faith) which he had yet being uncircumcised...

Here it is made plain that the law of circumcision came after as a sign of what Abraham(a Gentile) already had which was a seal of righteousness of the moral conviction. This was his willingness to obey Torah, all of it as a GENTILE!

Gen 26:4-5 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of shamayim (pw heaven), and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be baruch'd (pw blessed); Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

Rom 4:10-13 that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also: And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that moral conviction (pw faith) of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.
Rom 4:13  For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law [works of the flesh / law of circumcision], but through the righteousness of moral conviction  ( pw faith) [obeying Torah]] .

Rom 3:20 Speaks about original Torah transgression that we are born with under Adam and Eve and that we have been justified by his chesed/ kindness (pw grace) as a gift, through the redemption that is in Yehoshua Ha Mashiach. 

Note how the Christians pervert Apostle Shaul's words again. They quote

Eph 2:14  For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility
Eph 2:15  by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace,
Eph 2:16  and might reconcile us both to Eloheem in one body through the stake (pw cross), thereby killing the hostility.

They leave out the context explaining the specific and separate "law of commandments expressed in ordinances" to create confusuion and lies. They want this to mean all of Torah which we know it is not since Yehoshua has plainly said so :

Mat 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law [TORAH] or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to FULLY PREACH (Greek: pleroo) them. Mat 5:18  For truly, I say to you, until shamayim (pw heaven) and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law [TORAH]until all is accomplished. Mat 5:19  Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven), but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of shamayim. Mat 5:20  For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven).

So let us quote what they choose to leave out:

Eph 2:11  Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands
Eph 2:12  remember that you were at that time separated from Mashiach (pw Christ), alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without Eloheem in the world.
Eph 2:13  But now in Yeoshua Ha Mashiach you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Mashiach.
Eph 2:14  For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility
Eph 2:15  by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace,
Eph 2:16  and might reconcile us both to Eloheem in one body through the stake (pw cross), thereby killing the hostility.


Once again Apostle Shaul is speaking about the ordinance of circumcision, the work of the flesh not Torah, as a whole.This distinction  had in the past been abused by the Circumcision sect to unlawfully keep the Gentiles out of the Covenant altogether. This caused hostility.

Apostle Shaul emphasises throughout what is important it is Torah keeping not the law of circumcision that matters

1Co 7:19  For neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but keeping the commandments of Eloheem. [is what is important Mat 5:17-20]
Gal 5:6  For in Yehoshua Mashiach neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only morla conviction (pw faith) working through love [to obey Torah 1 Jn 5:3]
Gal 6:15  For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation [which is subject to the Torah - Rom 8:7-10 ]

Sabbath profaning is, in no way, justified by justification through Yehoshua.

On the contrary ALL THE TORAH REMAINS AND IS ESTABLISHED AND UPHELD BY MORAL CONVICTION LIKE ABRAHAM.

So yes, neither Sabbath breaking nor Sabbath Keeping is  justified by the law, the law of circumcision which was/ is only a sign.

Apostle Shaul Smashes the Charis Idol:

Rom 6:15  What then? shall we transgress Torah (pw sin) , because we are not under the law [of sin and death - the debt which was against us which was nailed to the stake] , but under kindness/ chesed (pw Grace/ Charis)? ELOHIM FORBID.

Rom 6:16  Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of TORAH TRANSGRESSION unto death [in the lake of fire], or of OBEDIENCE unto righteousness?

Apostle Shaul clearly shows that after justification we must make sure we are servants of Yahuah and obey the Torah which leads us 'unto righteousness"

 The phrase by Paul  "whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey" -  clearly describes true worship versus idolatry.

So after we are justified we draw near to Yahuah, not idolatry. Not wanting to keep the Sabbath is a sure sign of idolatry. We do not want to give up those things we idolize e.g watching a ball game, or earning more mammon on that day, celebrating a pagan birthday, shopping... We are to begin to walk in obedience to his Torah now that we have the truth preached. What is that truth? That all of Torah is to be obeyed. Hear Yehoshua again:

Mat 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law [TORAH] or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to FULLY PREACH (Greek: pleroo) them. Mat 5:18  For truly, I say to you, until shamayim (pw heaven) and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law [TORAH]until all is accomplished. Mat 5:19  Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven), but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of shamayim. Mat 5:20  For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven).

More Perversion

"The law is what shows people they are in sin and leads us to Christ (Galatians 3:19, 24)."

So, the sabbath-breaking Christian must be perverting this scripture to mean the sinner sees their sin under the law and then finds this so-called "Christ", who says let's walk together and break the Sabbath every week because I did not really mean what I said here:

Mat 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law [TORAH] or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to FULLY PREACH (Greek: pleroo) them. Mat 5:18  For truly, I say to you, until shamayim (pw heaven) and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law [TORAH]until all is accomplished. Mat 5:19  Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven), but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of shamayim. Mat 5:20  For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven).

Is Yehoshua now including himself among the "whoever", those who relax the Torah or abolish it? No! Of course not.

Does Galatians teach such a lie? Perhaps they are afraid to actually quote these verses so people can actually read them.


Gal 3:19  Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by malakim/ messengers (pw angels) in the hand of a mediator.
Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto the Anointed One (pw Christ), that we might be JUSTIFIED by emunah / moral conviction (pw faith).

The law was a teacher to bring us to the Anointed One. It then continues explaining what the purpose of Mashiach is. Is Yehoshua ignoring our Torah transgression in this process of justification by moral conviction or does he Minister to us to keep it? Clue:

Mat 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law [TORAH] or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to FULLY PREACH (Greek: pleroo) them. Mat 5:18  For truly, I say to you, until shamayim (pw heaven) and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law [TORAH]until all is accomplished. Mat 5:19  Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven), but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of shamayim. Mat 5:20  For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven).

Yes, he is still ministering to us concerning the Torah since the earth remains and the Torah remains. He does it by way of the Spirit which he sent us which reminds us of what he has preached to us.

Apostle Shaul further tells what type of Minister Yehoshua is concerning the Torah. We will provide his answer in a moment. These liars never quote Apostle Shaul, the follower of Yehoshua, the Torah preacher ( Mat 5:17-20).

Apostle Shaul DENOUNCES perversion of moral conviction (pw faith).

Apostle Shaul Smashes The Fides Idol:

Rom 3:31  Do we then make void the law [TORAH] through  moral conviction / emunah (pw Faith / Fides)?  ELOHIM FORBID : yea, WE ESTABLISH THE LAW [TORAH].

"establish" here does not mean "abolish" IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER

It means to STAND BY and  ABIDE IN THE COVENANT of the law.:


G2476

ἵστημι

histēmi

his'-tay-mee

A prolonged form of a primary word στάω staō (of the same meaning, and used for it in certain tenses); to stand (transitively or intransitively), used in various applications (literally or figuratively): - abide, appoint, bring, continue, covenant, establish, hold up, lay, present, set (up), stanch, stand (by, forth, still, up).


Apostle Shaul's Sabbath-Preaching Minister

Apostle Shaul denounces those who claim Yehoshua is a Torahless Minister (a Master of Sabbath breaking):

Gal 2:17  But if, while we seek to be justified by Mashiach (pw Christ), we ourselves also are found Torah transgressors, is therefore Mashiach the minister of Torah transgression? Eloheem forbid.   KJV

Gal 2:17  But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Mashiach (pw Christ), we too were found to be TORAH TRANSGRESSORS (pw sinners), is Mashiach (pw Christ) then a servant of Torah Transgression (pw sin)? Certainly not!  ESV

Yehoshua is a Minister of  Torah keeping not Torah breaking, he is the Master and Minister of Sabbath Keeping

Conclusion

Yehoshua is indeed the Minister of Torah keeping and thus the Master of the Sabbath when we are truly ministered to. On Shabbat we are free form the concerns and distractions of the world and work. Yehoshua preached the keeping of all of Torah not just nine or even ten commandments but all of Torah as it applies without a haykal (pw temple) today.

Apostle Shaul's Minster is indeed the Sabbath-Preaching Yehoshua who preaches all of Torah ( Mat 5:17-20). He is not a Sabbath-Breaking impostor called Jesus/J-Zeus.

We exhort you to keep the Sabbath so that you may learn of his Torah, to keep and to preach all of it. Christians do not have time for Yahuah, to learn of his ways. The Sabbath for them is not worth it. It is the least of their concerns because they love themselves and the things of this world more than Yahuah and eternal life.

You are indeed  "servants to whom ye obey". Not wanting to keep the Sabbath is a sure sign of idolatry. You do not want to give up those things you idolize on that day.
You cannot separate yourself from the things of this temporal world once a week for 24 hours, to focus on the spiritual things of Yahuah which leads to eternal life.

Often Christians will say, it is the heart that matters, God see my heart. He indeed does see through his Torah, as Apostle Shaul demonstrates, and what he sees is an evil heart that hates his Torah and comes up with evil thoughts on how to avoid it.

Torah Reveals The Heart Of The Sabbath-Breaking Christian Cult

Heb 4:9  There remaineth therefore a Sabbath ( sabbatismos) to the people of Eloheem.
Heb 4:10  For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as Eloheem did from his.
Heb 4:11  Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
Heb 4:12  For the Word [TORAH] of Eloheem is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
