Attempting to defend legalism; Judaism; Sabbath obsessions; Hebrew Roots fanaticism using Saul the Pharisee who became Paul the Apostle,
Saul/Paul was a Jew, a strict Pharisee (Philippians 3)…and he initially came to the Jews, his countrymen, to proselytize them in the Gospel (Romans 10) and yes, Paul met with the Jews on the Sabbath which was their custom (Acts 17:2) but when Paul met with the New Covenant Church, he met on the First-Day, Sunday (Acts 20:7-8; 1 Corinthians 16;1-2) ….to break bread, to share the Scriptures, to collect gifts – tithes for the poor as the First Day – Sunday is the Day the Holy Spirit ordained through His initiation of the New Covenant Church on Pentecost – Sunday (Acts 2).
My God is NOT concerned about days, diets, traditions, temples, heritage (Colossians 2:16; Romans 14), but my God is concerned about intimacy and love with His created beings and all that you find relevant in Torah and Judaism and Tradition was for a time, a dispensation, of necessity as these things pointed to the One who would come to destroy the works of the Devil (1 John 3:8b; John 5:39-44; Galatians 3:24-25)…but you would rather focus on the irrelevant, the dead works of the Law, waste your life in futile arguing over NOTHING of relevance rather than substance; that is, faith in Yeshua and life through the Holy Spirit via covenant with the Father (John 3).
