The Sabbath is a commandment for all of God's people

You are very well read in the bible Daley, and I admire that of you. You need to keep an open mind though.You are a rarity in the fact that you believe that Yeshua broke the Sabbath and acted contrary to God's Torah. The majority of Protestants I have talked to have this ideology: "Yeshua kept the Law, so we don't have to."Now you said, and I quote: "Because all of it wasn't abolished at the same time, and the majority was still in effect while he walked the earth as a man. It was only at the cross that the majority, the bulk of the law of Moses came to an end."If the Law was abolished at the cross, as most Protestants believe (I'm assuming you're a Protestant), then Yeshua would have absolutely NO RIGHT to break the Sabbath. Doing so would be a sin deserving of death; capital punishment. And you and I both believe that the Messiah was perfect and sinless.Perhaps you think that some commandments were abolished BEFORE the cross, the Sabbath being one of them. This is an absurdity too. If some commandments could be abolished before the cross, when why couldn't all of the ones you believe are?As Yeshua said "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath." Did Yeshua break the rabbinical legalism that the Pharisees had? Yes. Did he actually break God's commandments? No. John 5:8-11 is about a sick man being healed.I don't think you really caught Matthew 5:18"For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled."Have heaven and earth passed away? No. Has all been fulfilled? Is every prophecy written in the books of the prophets fulfilled? How about Revelation? Has the prophecies in Revelation been fulfilled?No.Heaven and earth have NOT passed away, and all has NOT been fulfilled. THEREFORE, whosoever breaks the least of these commandments shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but he who practices and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.You said "As for "lawlessness," Matthew 7:21-23 is talking about breaking the new law we live by now, not the law of Moses."Now look at John 1:17"For the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ."(I took out the 'but' between Moses and grace, because it is an italic word, added by translators to try to make things simpler. In reality it often distorts scripture.)You assume that Ephesians 2:15 and Hebrews 7:12 speak of Mosaic Law. You assume John speaks of Mosaic Law. Yet when Yeshua speaks of the law, you assume it's a 'different law' even though the same word is given. You're fooling yourself. It's the same law. The Greek word for it is the same.Paul speaks highly of the law, and yes this is the same law that came through Moses:Romans 2:12"For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified".Romans 2:17-23"Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on the law, and make your boast in God, and know His will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law, and are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and truth in the law. You, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal? You who say, do not commit adultery," do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? You who make your boast in the law, do you dishonor God through breaking the law?Romans 2:25-27"For circumcision is indeed profitable if you keep the law; but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision. Therefore, if an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision? And will not the physically uncircumcised, if he fulfills the law, judge you who, even with your written code and circumcision, are a transgressor of the law? Romans 3:1-2" What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision? Much in every way! Chiefly because to them were committed the oracles of God."Romans 3:31 " Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law."Romans 7:12"Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good."Romans 7:22"For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man."Romans 7:25"I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin."2 Corinthians 6:14"Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?"2 Corinthians 12:20-21"For I fear lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I wish, and that I shall be found by you such as you do not wish; lest there be contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, backbitings, whisperings, conceits, tumults; lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and I shall mourn for many who have sinned before and have not repented of the uncleanness, fornication, and lewdness which they have practiced.2 Thessalonians 2:7-10"For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved." 1 Timothy 1:8-11"But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine, according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust."And many more.If Yeshua declared pork and shellfish to now be food for us, then why does Peter, years later, say the following in Acts 10:14?"Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.”If Yeshua really meant that we could now eat whatever we wanted, then why was Peter so against it? We also know that the meaning of Peter's vision in Acts 10 has nothing to do with animals. The animals symbolize gentiles. The interpretation of the vision is given twice in the bible, from Peter himself. So it's silly to try to say it meant something else.The meaning of the vision:Acts 10:28"Then he said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.Acts 11:1-18"Now the apostles and brethren who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God. And when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision contended with him, saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!” But Peter explained it to them in order from the beginning, saying: “I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw a vision, an object descending like a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came to me. When I observed it intently and considered, I saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. And I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter; kill and eat.’ But I said, ‘Not so, Lord! For nothing common or unclean has at any time entered my mouth.’ But the voice answered me again from heaven, ‘What God has cleansed you must not call common.’ Now this was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven. At that very moment, three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea. Then the Spirit told me to go with them, doubting nothing. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered the man’s house. And he told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house, who said to him, ‘Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon whose surname is Peter, who will tell you words by which you and all your household will be saved.’ And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as upon us at the beginning. Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, ‘John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ If therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could withstand God?” When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life.” Compare with Acts 10:14:"But Peter said, “Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.”The interpretation is indeed given for you. No reason to make up your own wild ideas that nullify the law of God.Let's top it off with Revelation 12:14"Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city."The commandments that Christ supposedly abolished.If you're going to take Mark 7:18-19 literally, then you must assume that eating blood is okay, something that Paul specifically forbids in Acts 15. You must also take Luke 14:26 literally, and hate your family.You better cut off your body parts too, because they cause you to sin. (Matthew 18:8-9)It is understood that Yeshua spoke in parables and analogies, and that he should not be taken literal for everything he says.
