Your argument is not with the wall, but the Word. Christianity is about faith. True faith leads to love. Love leads to obedience. Was Abraham saved because he thought about sacrificing his son, or was he saved when he demonstrated his faith by actually preparing to sacrifice his only son because God told him to.
If your son says he loves you, but then immediately and blatantly disobeys you, does he really love you?

I have no argument with the above statements, but we obviously have a different view of the object of faith...Christ. As I stated faith establishes the law, but that is not the law of Moses, but the law of Christ, AKA law of love. Do I believe in obedience? Certainly! One cannot have a faithful wife who is unfaithful. That said, you are running together the old and new covenants, and in effect denying the sufficiency of Christ's shed blood.

I think there is danger when the New Covenant is interpreted so broadly as to erase one of the 10 Commandments, espcially in light of all the warnings against lawlessness.

But the point of my post is that Protestantism is supposed to be Biblical. If an educated un-religious man, say an old Soviet or a Cuban, read a Bible cover to cover, what day would he keep holy?
