Subject: Where is the 4th Commandmant found

Bible Note: Thanks Doc For the tip on the searching the archives I wasn't aware of that. I did find what I was looking for. As for the word proselytizing,you might as well have been speaking in tongues, I have know idea what that means.

This is what I found:

Subject: Sunday Sabbath or not?
Note: PART 2 OF 2

Here are the 9 other commandments reiterated by both Jesus and another NT writer.
Commandment 1 (Matthew 22:36-40 and 1 John 5:21)
Commandment 2 (Revelation 2:14 and 1 John 5:21)
Commandment 3 (Matthew 12:31 and 1 Timothy 6:1)
Commandment 5 (Matthew 19:19 and Ephesians 6:2-3)
Commandment 6 (Matthew 5:21-22 and Romans 13:9)
Commandment 7 (Matthew 5:27-28 and Romans 13:9)
Commandment 8 (Matthew 15:19-20 and Romans 13:9)
Commandment 9 (Mark 7:22-23 and Romans 13:9)
Commandment 10 (Mark 7:22-23 and Romans 13:9)

This is not the case with the 4th commandment. After Jesus death on the cross, no where do we see Paul or any other writer in the New Testament commanding Sabbath observance like they did on these nine other commandments. When we come to the Sabbath we see the contrary.

The fact is the 10 commandments is the old covenant which was abolished. But Nine of the commandments where reinstated into the new covenant, which is the law of Christ.

Deuteronomy 9:9
"When I went up to the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant which the LORD had made with you, then I remained on the mountain forty days and nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water.

Deuteronomy 4:13
"So He declared to you His covenant which He commanded you to perform, that is, the Ten Commandments ; and He wrote them on two tablets of stone.

Then Paul makes clear that this covenant of the Ten Commandments were abolished, culminated with verse eleven “For if that which fades away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.”

2 Corinthians 3:2-11
2You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men; 3being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. 4Such confidence we have through Christ toward God. 5Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God, 6who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 7But if the ministry of death, in letters engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading as it was, 8how will the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory? 9For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness abound in glory. 10For indeed what had glory, in this case has no glory because of the glory that surpasses it. 11For if that which fades away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.

It is obvious that Jesus was not trying to keep the law of the Sabbath intact in the New Covenant.

John 5:18
18For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

In Christ,
