I can’t say all that I’ve read here clears it up for me. But that’s life. I am praying on this, because the days are just too weird to ignore the subject.

How does one come to think any of the Ten Commandments are "not essential"? Honest question. I've never considered any of God's commands to be "non essential." Can't find any verses that teach "Most of the Bible is non essential."

The Sabbath was established at creation, enshrined in the 10 commandments,
Kept by the Apostles,
Replaced with Sunday worship by the Pope.

Easy. I was raised with the standard outlook on the Law.

As I said, I’m honestly looking at this. I was also raised with ECT. And I’m still not sure. And yet it matters.

I wasn't trying to be "hard" on you! lol I was just saying I really honestly cannot see how a person (not you specifically, just in general) can come to the conclusion that any command of God is "not essential". I know many if not most Christians believe the Bible contains a few "essentials" and the "rest are non essential", which basically amounts to a few key big-tent doctrines that are the basis for some denomination's existence, with everything else being relegated to the "non essential" category. But if Jesus said "man shall live by every word of God" it seems that every word of God is "essential", amen?

What is "ECT"?

Sabbath day was a memorial of OLD CREATION. Not NEW. We are in the New creation, and this sabbath NEVER ENDS AT SUNDOWN!!!

Still remains the best post on this thread!

Ahh, no, I didn't take it badly, but thank you.

"ECT" Eternal Conscious Torment.
