Subject: How do you feel about the Ten Commandmen

Bible Note: G'day Fmp

A proposition; What was first, the Jew or the Law?

3 quick points.
Your passage in Exodus 34:27 refers only to the writing of the law, of which included the seventh day Sabbath of God commandment. In fact the first times the word Sabbath is recorded in the bible is in Exodus 16:23, 25, 26, 29 (before the 10 commandments were written) in relation to the Israelites not collecting manna on the seventh day which is a Sabbath unto the Lord. Many also believe that Moses re-introduced the Sabbath to the Israelites in Egypt. See Exodus 5:5 “And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.” (Also before the Ten Commandments).

Before Moses, God made a promise to Abraham giving the reason, Gen 26:5 “Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. (See my previous reply to BradK) (Also before the Ten Commandments).

1Jn_3:4 “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.”
Rom_6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Rom_5:14 “Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.”
Here it is clear God’s Law was (and still is) binding, even to Adam, Before sin entered this world. Before the Ten Commandments.

And

Mat_5:19 "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." Is the 4th commandment the least?

One more thought. Why would Lucifer Not want us to keep the Sabbath of the Lord?
