It is evident you don't know anything beyond the basic. No wonder you argue blindly and I don't have time for it.
It's a big shame a supposed christian who has a brain would call 10 commandments the law of Moses. There are 10 commandments (Exo. 20. The 2 Tablets of law was placed inside the ark 'Exo. 40:20') and there are ceremoial law/law of ordinance (law of Moses placed beside the ark 'Deut. 31:26).
One was written on tablets of stone by God's fingers and the other was written by Moses. Please know the difference before you reply or don't reply at all.
If it was the custom of Jesus to keep the sabbath just as a verse you quoted here mentioned and even Acts 17:2 said the same thing Paul, whose example are you following?
Don't be afraid to research. I've been there. Long quote won't make your point right.

Bro, since u decided not to read dont knw how i can help you, because if you read what i posted to u, then u will read where i quoted Matthew 5:17-18 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."

The passage says that Jesus came to fulfill the whole law (moral and ceremonial) and that none of the law would be abolished until it was fulfilled.

" not one jot or tittle shall pass from the law"
If "jot or tittle" is still in force today, the we must have both the Sabbath and animal sacrifices!. Please tell me you still offer animal sacrifices.

If u tell me the 10 commandment cannot also be referred to as the law of moses, then u are the one who really need to go back to basic. But let me help you, google Mosaic dispensation, and you will still come back to what am telling you that the Christain dispensation abolished the 10 commandments and was fulfiled by Christ.

Read Mark 12:28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 12:31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

if u read furher u will read that Jesus and the scribe agreed that those two commands are the core of the entire old testament law. All of the Old testament law can be placed in the categories of “loving God” and “loving your neighbor.”

1 Corinthians 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
So if i follow Paul i follow Christ.
please read my previous post and understand y i said Paul had to reasoned with them on a Sabbath day.

So if u are a follower of Christ and u tell me the Sabbath day is still binding on Christians then u shuld also b offering animal sacrifices, and the sorts. There are hundreds of law in the old testament which u still need to follow.

If the truth is too long for u to read, u can continue doing whatever u blive is right.. we are under the era of grace so nobody can force you to worship God the right way.
*Cheers*

If u belive i cant convince u like dis, then u can locate the Church of Christ closer to u for better knowledge. i can also give u address of the church depending on your locality.

RedArrow:
Why do you want to know the exact day Christ was given birth to?

If we adopt a day generally acceptable to majority of Christians on Earth to celebrate him, how does that translate to paganism?

If you chose any other to celebrate him, many/few would still have reservations about it.

Christ was given birth to more than 2000 years ago and you are so particular about the exact day and month, do you even know the exact date your ground father was given birth to not to talk of your great ground father and beyond.

Christ is the Reason for the Season, if he hasn't asked us to celebrate it it has he told us not to?

Thank you...

It is wisdom for Christmas to have replaced the pagan festival. So, if not for Christmas, the pagan festival would have continued to gain dominance.

Whatever we do that brings glory to God is okay - 1st Corinthians 10:31.
