For instance, Because the Apostles were gathered on a traditional Jewish feast (Sabbath) day on the first day of the week (Sunday), the Feast Day being Pentecost ( meaning 50th) which was the conclusion of Passover; Most Christians conclude that the God established Saturday Sabbath is no longer in effect. Yet God clearly states this Sabbath is forever, and punishes the world for forsaking HIS Sabbath during the judgement period of Earth during the last days. WHO IS MAN TO CHANGE GOD"S SABBATH ???

No one has the power to change God's law. If they did that would mean that they have more power than God does. God says "I am the LORD I change NOT" Mal 3:6

Revelation 14 says that 3 messages go out to the world right before the end comes. The first message says worship the creator and then it quotes the 4th commandment.

God is calling his people to return to the commandments and worship Him as He has described. He wants His people to leave man made traditions and come back to His word

Daniel 7:25 says that the antichrist power will THINK to change times and laws. If you look at the 10 commandments only one talks about a set time. Notice it says he will THINK to change the law but it never says he changes it because no one can change God's law.

I must respectfully disagree with some of the above statements

1) "JESUS CLEARED THIS UP FOR US BY BREAKING THE SABBATH SETTING A PATTERN FOR US TODAY."

Sin is the transgression of the law if Jesus broke the Sabbath then He sinned and how could he be the SINLESS lamb of God?

Every example people use for Jesus supposedly "breaking" the Sabbath takes place when Jesus is either in church or on His way to church. Ironic isn't it? Yet Jesus NEVER says "Forget the Sabbath." In addition everytime Jesus supposedly "breaks" the Sabbath it is to help someone
"Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill?" Mark 3:4
We never see Jesus working in his carpenter shop on Sabbath. We never see the disciples fishing on Sabbath. Instead we see Him going to Church and helping people who come to Him on the way.

So what work is He accused of doing? Healing people and eating corn, neither of these is prohibited by the Sabbath command.
Jesus did not break the Sabbath

Jesus broke the traditions the leaders placed on the Sabbath. They said Jesus broke the Sabbath by healing but where in the command does it say "don't help people”

2)The Scriptures plainly state that Christ’s sacrifice “abolished . . . the Law of commandments consisting in decrees”
Is it ok to murder?
Is it ok to steal?
Is it ok to lie?
Is it ok to worship other gods?
Is it ok to to worship idols?

If we should still keep these commands then why should we forget the only command that starts with "REMEMBER"

The law that was nailed to the cross is the Mosaic law. The Mosaic law is seperate from the 10 commandments.

Not to mention this contradicts what Jesus said in Matt 5
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am NOT come to destroy, but fulfil...one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law” until all is fulfilled,”

Jesus says "If you love me keep my commandments"

“Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, 'I know Him,' and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him” (1 John 1:3,4).

“Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness,”

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome” (1 John 5:2,3).

“Here is the patience of the saints here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.”Revelation 14:12,

“Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work…’ 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” (Revelation 22:12,14).

The Bible shows God's people observing the Sabbath over and over again. From Genesis all the way to Revelation.

The Bible says that God created the Sabbath PERFECT in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:1-3).
It saws that the nation of Israel kept the Sabbath (Exodus 20:8-11).
Jesus kept the Sabbath (Matthew 12:9,10, Mark 1:21, Mark 6:2, Luke 4:16, Luke 4:31, Luke 13:10)
Jesus expected His followers to keep the Sabbath after he went to Heaven (Matthew 24:20)
The Apostles kept the Sabbath. (Acts 13:14, Acts 13:42, Acts 13:44, Acts 16:13, Acts 17:2, Acts 18:4).
God says that we are going to keep the Sabbath in Heaven(Isaiah 66:22).

Yet not once does it ever say anything about keeping Sunday Holy.

He observed the written Torah completely, and we are to stroll purely as he walked. you won't be able to stumble on a single place the place he lived opposite to the written Torah. He admonished us to maintain each and every command of the Torah. while somebody has been wronged, they have the prospect to forgive. that's the lesson i'm getting from the passage in Leviticus. whilst a man or woman might have the the terrific option to right revenge, is this how we would desire to continuously react? The Almighty does not desire that one starve on the Sabbath. those men have been out vacationing around the geographical area, and that they ate sufficient to stave off the starvation. They weren't harvesting the sphere! The Pharisees have ignored the area of the Sabbath altogether. that's those little concerns that get blown up into huge concerns which will damn mens' souls. Yeshua did not something that the Pharisees and Rabbis are actually not much extra responsible of. a minimum of Yeshua's interpretations have been made out of love, and to not administration the masses.

Pentecost isn't the reason for the Sunday sabbath, the Resurrection is.

Jesus gave the bishops and the church the unrestricted power to bind and lose.

Whatever they choose to bind or lose here, is also bound or loosed in heaven.

That handily covers the sabbath change, as if it were needed, plus anything and everything else.

Where does it say the Bible has any of this authority, particularly any type of authority that would subvert that of the church?

Jesus founded a church ... not a Bible.

Beside that, anyone who can read scripture knows that the old laws expired, when Jesus fulfilled them all by his life, death, and ressurection.

And who gave any authority to you personally, in this matter?

WHO ARE YOU TO PLACE YOUR JUDGMENT AND YOUR INTERPRETATION ABOVE THAT OF GOD's CHURCH?

"Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and yeilded up his spirit. And look! the curtain of the sanctuary was rent in two, from top to bottom, and the earth quaked, and the rockmasses were split, ... " -- Mt 27:50,51

"The inspired Christian writings state that “Christ is the end of the Law” (Ro 10:4), which results in Christians’ being “discharged from the Law.” (Ro 7:6)

"The Scriptures plainly state that Christ’s sacrifice “abolished . . . the Law of commandments consisting in decrees” and that God “blotted out the handwritten document against us, which consisted of decrees . . . and He has taken it out of the way by nailing it to the torture stake.” It was the complete Mosaic Law that was “abolished,” “blotted out,” taken “out of the way.” (Eph 2:13-15; Col 2:13, 14) Consequently, the whole system of Sabbaths, be they days or years, was brought to its end with the rest of the Law by the sacrifice of Christ Jesus. This explains why Christians can esteem “one day as all others,” whether it be a sabbath or any other day, with no fear of judgment by another. (Ro 14:4-6; Col 2:16) Paul made the following expression concerning those scrupulously observing “days and months and seasons and years”: “I fear for you, that somehow I have toiled to no purpose respecting you.” -- Ga 4:10, 11.

john 5:16 So on this account the Jews went persecuting Jesus, because he was doing these things during Sabbath. 17 But he answered them: “My Father has kept working until now, and I keep working.” 18 On this account, indeed, the Jews began seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath but he was also calling God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

JESUS CLEARED THIS UP FOR US BY BREAKING THE SABBATH SETTING A PATTERN FOR US TODAY.

Troubling question. We either assume God made laws and therefore God himself empowered Man with the will and the means to make changes, so presumably that was HIS doing - or

God did NOT make laws, He only made initial conditions and we do what we do now, not only without pleasing or displeasing Him, but in fact entirely unsupervised and without His knowledge.

Man changes God's will because Man was given free thought and free will.

According to God's laws, a woman that was raped, has to marry her rapist.

I think Man has every right to change God's so called laws.
