Sabath, you cannot be under both Law and Grace. It's one or the other.
Which is more important to you, that Jesus Christ died on the cross and paid in full the sin debt/penalty you owed God for your sins?,
or that the Old Testament Religious Leaders had turned God's day of rest into a day of keeping hundreds of man-made rules God never commanded or intended to impose on anyone??
That is why Jesus told the Pharisees, "You made my Father's words of no effect because of all your man-made traditions!"
The Old Testament law was given to the nation of Israel, not to Christians.
Some of the laws were to reveal to the Israelites how to obey and please God (the Ten Commandments).
Some of the laws were to show the Israelites how to worship God and atone for sin (the sacrificial system).
Some of the laws (the food and clothing rules) were intended to separate the Israelites from the surrounding nations because those nations worshiped idols/false gods.
None of the Old Testament law is binding on Christians today.
When Jesus died on the cross, He put an end to the Old Testament law (Romans 10:4; Galatians 3:23–25; Ephesians 2:15).
Figuratively, it was nailed to His cross.
Christians are under God's grace for their salvation; Jesus Christ's laws, including (Galatians 6:2), are to “love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind…and to love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:37-39).
If we obey those two commands, we will be fulfilling all that Christ requires of us: “All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments” (Matthew 22:40).
This does not mean the Old Testament law is irrelevant today. The Old Testament law can be a good guidepost for knowing how to love God and knowing what goes into loving your neighbor.
The Old Testament law is indivisible (James 2:10). Either all of it applies, or none of it applies. Christ fulfilled all of it when He fulfilled the sacrificial system.
The Greatest Word on the Greatest Day in all eternity!
Jesus said "TETELESTAI" on the cross, meaning "Paid in full"! What Jesus said in Aramaic means "Paid in full." Jesus paid our sin debt in full. This is translated in English as "It Is Finished." (John 19:30)
Trinity is an English word. The Bible is written in the Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic languages. The English language didn't even exist when the Bible was written.
2nd Maccabees dies not belong in the Bible because it is not inspired by the Holy Spirit, but it is a good source of History. It is actual history. The family it is written about did live, and it gives us information about the years when God was silent, the 400 year period between the end of the Old Testament and the beginning of the New Testament.
I have never seen a book by John Nelson Darby.
I know that what he wrote is based on the New Testament. I know this because stubborn, cultish, often brainwashed people who actually believe they're good enough to work their own way to heaven, bring up Darby's name, using it as an excuse to reject God's written Word in the New Testament, so I researched him.
Sabath. I'm eighty years old, almost eighty one. I first read the Bible, Old Testament and New Testament, all the way through when I was nine years old. That's seventy one, almost seventy two years of reading the Old Testament and the New Testament. I know what it says and just as importantly, I understand what it means.
What in the world have you been reading?

Satan said set aside one day of the week as a day of rest. every day is a day of worship,with no one day being more important than another.
There is one God, one son, and the Holy Spirit OF God and Jesus,there is no 3rd. person.The word trinity is not in the bible, have you been reading the books of John Nelson Darby? I hope you are not a "Dispensation" believer.
Jesus told the Gentiles a more leaner set of rules,that they should follow.
Jesus did not come to change the law, I think you don't read the old test. much.
You should know why 2Maccabees was taken out of the KJV 100yrs.ago.
God said all the graves will be oprned, some at the 2nd. coming, some after 1000 yrs.
