Ephesians 2:16; Colossians 2:14-17. The Hand writing of Ordinances are not the Ten Commandments. The ceremonial law was instituted to show the people what to do when they broke the Moral Law. By their sacrifices they could show their faith in the great sacrifice which was to be offered on Calvary. All the Sacrifices and offerings pointed forward to Christ. When Jesus died the veil in the temple was rent signifying that the sacrificial or Ceremonial law had ended. Many people confuse the Ceremonial and Moral laws.
  64. Why would God abolish the Law that has the Sabbath command in it when God Himself ceased from labour and rested on the seventh day, and your Bible says that all who have entered into rest (spiritual rest too) with Him, have ceased from their own works as God did from His? Hebrews 4:4, 10. Read and re-read those two verses.
  65. Why would God do away with the very Law that His people are to keep in order to have works to show their faith? James 2:18. Read carefully James 2:10-12. The “works” here referred to are works of obedience as the verses plainly indicate. Paul says: “Do we make void the Law through faith? God forbid, we establish the Law.” Romans 3:31.

The Sabbath is God’s mark or Sign of His Power and authority as the Creator. Exodus 20:8-11. The Sabbath has always been God’s test of obedience. Exodus 16:4, 23, 26-28. God’s Law is in His Heart. May we never wound His heart of love and insult His Grace. If God has abolished His Law then hundreds of texts in your Bible become meaningless and should be left out, for example:
  1. All the texts that mention or refer to the Law.
  2. All the texts that mention the Commandments of God.
  3. All the texts that speak of SIN. (Sin is the transgression of the Law. 1 John 3:4).
  4. All the texts that speak of obedience.
  5. All the texts that speak of transgression.
  6. All the texts that speak of repentance.
  7. All the texts that speak of Jesus as the Saviour from sin.
  8. Etc., etc., etc.

If our Creator God has abolished any part of His Law then all the Bible texts that speak of the Law as Perfect, Holy, Unchangeable, etc., become very much meaningless. “Not one tittle of the Law shall fall.” If we offend in one point we are guilty of all. See James 2:10-12 and Matthew 5:17-19.
