I keep the 10 Commandment Law of Love which happens to incorporate the Seventh-Day Sabbath as the day God Sanctioned and made Holy- I was no where when God cerated the world.
The "10 Comandment Law of Love" is an abysmal interpretation of both the decalogue and Christ's summary of the Levitican Law.
Jesus showed time and again by his actions and words- that he being, "LORD OF THE SABBATH" was incapable of Sabbath breaking -and that he was NOT doing work on the Sabbath. He was only doing "work" on the Sabbath - according to their (interpretation) their made up standards - "doctrines of men".
Hmm..."Then God spoke all these words:...Six days you shall labor and do all your work. But the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God; you shall not do any work...seems to me like God set the standard -- not men -- according to your interpretation. Healing is work. Picking grain is work. God said it was not to be done, but Jesus did it anyway. These examples are given in the Gospels to show that love for God and fellow is more important than love for the letter of the Law. Your interpretation, once again...abysmal.

Yes, the practice of love is the whole point of all the law -- not that we should love the Law as an end in itself, but as an expression of love. If our keeping the Law causes us to love the Law more than God or fellow, then the Law is being idolized and
should be broken.
Paul says,
For All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God [and] By the law is the knowledge of sin [For] The wages of sin is death.
[Therefore] God sending his own Son ... condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law(10 Commands) might be fulfilled(completed, accomplished) in us.
Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law(10 Commands) Therefore love is the fulfilling(completing) of the law.
[So] What then? Shall we sin (break God's law), because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid Romans 3,6,8, &13
Paul
never mentions the "10 Commands" as the scope of the Law he was talking about. That's your particular interpretation of it, and that interpretation is wrong. Once again, Romans says, "Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary,
we uphold the law." In other words, our righteousness comes to us by faith -- not by law. Faith does not nullify the law, rather, faith fulfills the law. Once again, your interpretation is abysmal.
The key word here is " one " - One people that "keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus"
Your quote "that keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus" is not part of the scriptural reference you quoted. That's your interpolation. This is an
excellent example of how eisegesis can really skew Biblical interpretation.
I don't have an interpretation!
Baloney! Your posts are
full of your interpretations.
Scripture speaks for itself- Christians follow Christ - Protestants protest the teachings of the papacy. Sunday worship is a teaching of the papacy - I've presented many posts giving undeniable proof of the Bible warning of this, (1260 prophecy etc.) and Papal proof by their own admission - Not one word came from me - or my own opinions or interpretations.
And must be interpreted by the reader. Yes. Christians follow Christ. Protestants have nothing really new to add to the mix and are not cogent to the issue at hand. Most Protestants worship...on
Sunday! (Hence, following the"teachings of the Papacy," as you put it.) As I've said before, Sunday worship predates the Papacy. The Papacy claims responsibility for it, only because the Papacy is in the apostolic succession. What the apostles set in place, therefore, the Papacy, by extension, set in place, for the Papacy is
part of the apostolic authority. Your interpretation of prophecy means nothing to anyone but yourself. If you think you're not speaking from your own opinion and interpretation, you're fooling yourself.
We have baptism to celebrate Christs resurrection.
Read your Bible again. Baptism celebrates the remission of sin. The Eucharist celebrates the resurrection. That's what most Protestants believe, anyway...since you seem eager to hold them up as an example...
