Nuff Sed,
He also instituted the feasts before he was a Jew so your point is super moot. He was born UNDER the Law, bound by it to the end. He is the one who ordered circumcision. He nailed the Law to the cross so before that, it was very much in place. Else why did he bother keeping the Passover yet he was/is the Passover?
Bound by the law to which end? Christ's great condescension in being born as a Jew is not license to break the Ten Commandments which He himself obeyed. The Ten Commandments were nailed to the cross. Sunday worshiping Protestants make that claim when you point them to the Sabbath. They have no problem when you tell them it is sin to commit adultery or to steal. Hebrews 10:10, 12 show why there is no more sacrifice after the cross. Christ is High Priest having offered His own blood for sin, not the blood of lambs.
I have noticed you are least bothered about how Sabbath is a shadow, and how Christ fulfilled sabbath. I will gladly teach you on this when you are ready.
Misinterpretation again. When and how did the Sabbath become a shadow of what? Chapter and verse?
About the Passover, let me help you; the feast has DUAL significance;
1. Commemorates deliverance from Egypt
2. Points to Christ sacrificial death
I can also argue that Paul demonstrates the relevance of the Jewish feasts by keeping them severally together with taking Nazirite Vow long after the cross,and a record to this effect being preserved by the Holy Spirit who inspired the authors.
Paul kept the Nazirite vow to prevent the Jews from making it a stumbling block to his ministry, and circumcised Timothy despite speaking openly against it, just like the apostles were gathered for fear of the Jews.
John 20:19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
Paul also touches on the sabbath with regards to Gentiles in Romans and Colossians. 'Esteem or don't esteem, it's up to you', 'let no man judge you over sabbath days'
Paul touches on very specific things and tells believers about them. Copy and paste one verse where he tells them not to keep the Sabbath any more, or to keep Sunday.
I have no idea what you are smoking when you flap gums about MODIFICATION. Did Paul MODIFY God's divine instructions on circumcision? What about Feasts, and other dietary regimes?
Look at what seemed good to the Holy Spirit;
Acts 15:28-29 New King James Version (NKJV)
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: 29 that you abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality.[a] If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well.
Farewell.
Was Holy Spirit MODIFYING circumcision commandment?
When Paul expounds on circumcision in the scriptures, what he says under inspiration is scriptural. What Sunday keepers do under te excuse of tradition, convenience, freedom and "apostolic practice" is not scriptural.
When you misquote Romans 14, you always do so partially. Here is the full context, which is in eating and keeping of feast days totally different from the Sabbath. Like Col 2:16, you misquote out of context to see the Sabbath where it isn't.
Romans 14 King James Version (KJV)
1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
And finally, Sunday worship needs no defense seeing it is within my freedom/discretion/conviction to esteem any day(s) above others or not to. When you get kids and you take them shopping and aks them to choose whatever color of shoes excite them, you don't take them to explain why they picked whatever color. As a child of God, am free to esteem Monday, Wednesday, any day or no day at all. Am thinking of esteeming Tuesday because they sell two pizzas for the price of one and I can be preaching to kids as they await for their orders
On the contrary, all sabbath defenses are hopelessly weak and grossly dishonest. You must thaw your brains before subscribing to Sabbatarianism.
When you go against the Ten Commandments and claim freedom, conviction, discretion and so on, you have become a law unto yourself and are no different from the corrupt who use their discretion to carry home what is not theirs.
Sabbath keeping is based on the Ten Commandments; Sunday keeping is based on speculation, tradition, allusion, confusion and misinterpretation. Protestant defense of Sunday worship is a Johnny-come-lately phenomenon. The originator or Sunday worship appropriates to it all the benefits of the Sabbath, including full rest like the Jews did with the Sabbath. So when you make the argument, please make it fully, and declare fatwa on "Judaizing" like Rome does in its council of Laodecia art 29.
