CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

There you go,
“The mathematical breakdown: OSHA's standard for radiation safety allows exposure of up to 300 rads (the unit of measurement for absorbed doses of ionizing radiation) in an hour. NASA determined that a spacecraft could travel through the radiation belts in 52 minutes with exposure of only 13 rads, based upon Van Allen's findings. This was determined to be well below the OSHA threshold and considered to be completely harmless. Until 1969, however, it was untested.”

The History of the “Two Laws” Theory in Romans 3:20

The commandments of Jesus in the new covenant are 2 commandments that summarize and take over the whole law. The 613 Jewish laws including the 10 commandments was fulfilled by Christ sacrifice in the cross. The terms of the old contract have been met and exceeded by Christ. The new covenant has new and different terms. The Christian is not under the law.
The audience here is the Jewish people not the Christians.

Like I stated the Jeremiah’s audience was the Jewish people not the Christians.
“Now the women who had come with Him from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was laid. And then they returned and prepared spices and perfumes. And on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.”
Luke 23:55-56 NASB2020

Jesus was crucified and buried before the sabbath began. The women brought the spices and perfume before the sabbath and then rested on the sabbath. Jesus resurrection was on the first day not in the seventh therefore He had not yet completed ushered in the new covenant.
That does not follow that the new covenant includes the terms of the old covenant. Each contract has their own terms. When Jesus fulfilled the old covenant He issued a new covenant with different terms.
Again, the audience here is the Jewish people. The Jewish people are still under the law including the sabbath so the verse is correct. Think about it for one minute, if you argue that the 4th commandment as stated in the law is still in force then the vast majority if Christians in the new covenant are breaking God’s commandment, even the most pious. In light of this do you think that promoting the law is biblically logical?
Yes, for the purpose of preaching the gospel if Christ.

Food for thought. The Lords day was established by Jesus resurrection on the first day. But did you also know that every single appearance post crucifixion was also on the first day? Christ is just awesome.
Also I want to challenge you to find a single verse in the NT post crucifixion that commands the Christian to keep the Jewish sabbath.
