Here’s what Paul wrote to Timothy:
I Timothy 1:8-11 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
Paul said that the law (moral Law) was good if used lawfully…Paul didn’t omit anything from the Law. The Noahide tradition is of Jewish origin, the Jews do not define what Gentiles are bound to obey…God does. And God doesn’t change. The Moral Law of the Ten Commandments is eternal Jesus himself said,
Matt 5:17-19 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. 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.
The Law of God (the Ten Commandments) is eternal, majestic, and holy.
Please note…God established the Sabbath BEFORE there was a Jew…therefore the Sabbath isn’t “Jewish”…it’s eternal and grounded in the very pattern of the Creation. The Law only set stipulations by which the Jew was to observe it…the Law didn’t establish the Sabbath.
