The law of God and the laws of Moses where both (separate) laws of the old covenant. And *the LORD spake unto you out of the midst of the fire* ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice. And *he declared unto you his covenant* which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; *and he wrote them upon two tables of stone* And *the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments* that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it. {Deuteronomy 4:12-14} Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more out of the land which I gave their fathers; only *if they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them* and *according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them* {2 Kings 21:8} Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, *that they might not obey thy voice* therefore the curse is poured upon us, and *the oath that is written in the law of Moses* the servant of God, because we have sinned against him. {Daniel 9:11}

How about adding 10 reasons God's Holy Feast Days are not nailed to the cross to the list. The Sabbath keepers who will not keep God's appointed times use all the same arguments as the Sunday keepers who try to do away with the Sabbath. Hmm, think that group is gonna have problems when push comes to shove, so to speak?

If you look at the 10 reasons, they are actually showing that the Feast days were the things that were nailed to the cross. That is Paul's whole point in this text: The Ceremonial Sabbath days and the Feast days ended with the death of Jesus because they pointed forward to Jesus the Messiah. I hope that was made clear if you watch the whole video. The Feasts still have some spiritual significance helping us understand Christ's mission in the heavenly sanctuary.

@@LarrenCole Daniel 9:27 is clear that the only thing that ended at the cross was animal sacrifice and grain offering, the Hebrew is very clear in it's meaning. Daniel 7:25 is clear in it's meaning. The Little Horn power thinks it can alter or change " times and Law" . The Aramaic is clear also. Times (plural) God's appointed times and Law, an word used for unchangeable Law. When you say God's appointed times are done away with, you take the Catholic position on God's Torah Law. The Bishop Enright letter dated 1905 claims this, as does The Catholic Christian Instructed on page 204. A look at history and Thomas Aquinas work Summa Theological would instruct you that the phrase "the old Law" and divisions not found in scripture and especially in the Torah like "Moral, Ceremonial, and Civil or Judicial" are found in Catholic writing also. If you use Galatians 4:8-10, you are interpretation is wrong, the Galatians were going back to heathenism, not Judaism, because Paul says they had a time when they didn't know God. Be warned, the Galatians issue is central to the 1888 Milwaukee conference and the horrible infighting that took place. Jones, Waggoner and EG White were the only ones who stood on the right ground, all the rest of leadership made their opinions a god unto themselves. This is just a start, I have several articles that should be read before you try to argue from the weak points I am sure you will present.

Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. {Galatians 5:4} Now of the things which we have spoken this is *the sum* We have such an high priest, (of the order of Melchizedek; chapter 7) who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty *in the heavens* A minister of *the sanctuary* and of the true tabernacle, *which the Lord pitched and not man* For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. (His life; "no greater love"...) For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests [Levitical] that offer gifts according to the law: Who serve unto the example and *shadow* of *heavenly things* as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make *the tabernacle* for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to *the pattern* shewed to thee in the mount. *But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry* by how much also *he* is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. *For if that first covenant had been faultless then should no place have been sought for the second* For *finding fault with them* he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make *a new covenant* with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; *I will put my laws into their mind and write them in their hearts* and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: {Hebrews 8:1-10} (Jer 31:31-33)

@@larrybedouin2921 How an a Covenant comment here. The word mistranslated "new" in this text is the Greek word "kainos" and not the word "neos". What's the difference? Neos is the word for new, brand new, but it's NOT used here. The word used here is "kainos" for RENEWED. It is the same Covenant as the one made in the Garden with our parents Adam and Eve. It involves the SEED, the coming Messiah. When they fell, continuation was given in the provision made. Same covenant made with Noah, same covenant made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Same covenant promised in your quote from Jeremiah 31. Provisions are made for successive generations and the Covenant Law never changes. God's purpose in covenanting is to bring mankind to a place where they can obey Him. That "enmity" given to man at the fall is the strong cause-based opposition towards our enemy, Satan, the only wedge against Satan's efforts to cause us to want to keep God's Laws. Therefore, to create ways through words as reasons to discard and violate any of God's Torah Law is to take Satan's position towards God Himself via the way he made our parents in the garden fall, doubting His Word, His Law.

I have a few questions about this video, but I'll have to add them on different days due to time constraints. I am at no point bringing any anti-Sabbath idealisms. 1.) Time 9:58 Handwriting: 2 Chronicles 35:6 is cited in support that Paul is actually referring to a yearly Sabbath in Col.2:16. In 2 Chron. 35:1-6, Josiah is speaking to the Levites, telling them to follow the written instruction of David king of Israel and the written instruction of Solomon his son, in preparation of the Passover. It ends with, ''...that they may do according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.'' The host of this video seems to be associating Moses with writing something. Is ''the hand of Moses'' being associated with Moses writing the second set of stone Tablets? If so, wouldn't this connect Col. 2 with the ''Weekly'' Sabbath as well. In Exodus 16:28-30. The weekly Sabbath is given by God, through Moses, with Aaron, to the Jewish People. Exodus 20:8-10 repeats the set of instructions given in Exodus 16. What other handwriting could be associated with Moses? Unfortunately, Paul doesn't use a distinction between the Sabbaths.

[@LarrenCole]

If i understand your question about associating Moses writing the second set of stone tablets, the answer is NO. Moses didn't write the stone tablets. God wrote the stone tablets with His own finger. Moses wrote the ceremonial law that was placed in the side pocket of the ark. Moses wrote it with his hand. So the phrase, "Moses hand" refers to the ceremonial law, not the ten commandments law. God wrote the ten commandment law with his finger. See Ex 31:18 "And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God."

@@Craig-o2y4x Two tables of stone, written on BOTH sides. Due to the layout of Exodus 20 where God starts speaking again, the contents of the Two Table would be everything from Ch. 20 the beginning to the end of Ch. 23. Using Hebrew, it will all fit on 2 tables written on both sides. This is a controversial view, but substantiated by many Jewish sources. Note in Chapter 24 that Moses writes a copy of all this to be put on the outside of the Ark, in an accessable place. God instructed the kings to make a copy for themselves to rule by, something that never seemed to occur. It was misplaced by Josiah's time and found by workmen. That's another lesson!
