Just 6 Commandments? Christians feel 4 no longer important
Joe Kovacs

In a famous scene from “History of the World: Part I,” Mel Brooks portrays Moses descending Mount Sinai carrying three stone tablets after receiving God’s laws.

Moses then proclaims to the people: “The Lord Jehovah has given unto you these fifteen …”

He then accidentally drops and shatters one of the tablets, and declares: “Oy … ten! TEN Commandments! For all to obey!”

All but one of the commandments in the Decalogue are reiterated in the New Testament.  The only one not specifically reiterated in the New Testament is the Fourth Commandment.  That commandment, the Sabbath Commandment, was typological/symbolic and was fulfilled in the gospel of justification by faith apart from works. Christians are supposed to rest in Christ--the Person Who is our Sabbath, as it were.

You'd best study on that...Yeshua and all of the disciples kept Sabbath and all of the Holy Days, as did the Early Church.

Torah cannot be changed not a jot or tittle

Whatever you say, but the New Testament Scriptures do not reiterate the Fourth Commandment.  The significance of this has often been confusing to many folks who profess faith in Christ--especially in the early Church before the majority of Christians were converted Gentiles.  That's not something that I would fight over with another genuine believer.

I do not fight you, @the_doc , rather the doctrines and dogmas that cause confusion. Confusion is lawlessness. Confusion IS Babylon.

The more a church is permissive, the more it is lawless (iniquity, antinomian), and if that is the right path, then the liberal church is finally right.

The fight moves inexorably to a final end, with but two sides. A time for choosing.

But, this is becoming a religious debate, and in accordance with the rule, I'll invite you to continue by PM or let's leave it be.

I somehow doubt that God intended us to subject the truth of His laws to the tides of popularity.

Interestingly, six of the seven that do not pertain directly to God, most people still recognize, despite Europe's long-documented slide toward secularism and rejecting God (which explains why most Britons reject the three directly pertaining to Him). The only exception is the sabbath (to paraphrase it, the notion of if you work six days, take one off), which gets even worse ratings than the ones pertaining to God. If you want a shining example of Western society's slide toward a 24/7/365 workaholic society, that's the perfect example.

And we wonder why we're wearing ourselves out.

Funny that, because one of the ancient aspects of Sabbath is that only a free people have a day off.
You can read into that whatever you wish :)

If they feel Gods Law is optional, they are not Christians

I'll also note, though, that they framed these a little too specifically. The Bible does not specify Sunday be the only sabbath; that was a day the early Christians chose to segregate from the Jews that did sabbath Friday night to Saturday afternoon. Also, "using the Lord's name in vain" is interpreted oddly (I was more under the position that it should not be used for frivolous—or worse, sinful—purposes, particularly to compare oneself to God) and they associate the Second Commandment with "the Christian God" even though it pre-existed Christianity.
