Did Jesus change HIS mind?

In Matthew 15:1-14 Jesus called out the Pharisees as hypocrites and said they were worshiping in vain because they had started traditions that made GOD's 5th Commandments of no effect. The blind leading the blind.

Now fast forward some 25 years and we find a Pharisee by the name of Paul coming into Jerusalem starting a new tradition of worship on GOD's "first work day of the week" making GOD's 4th Command of no effect. Or did he?

Paul said to let GOD be true and every man be a liar. Romans 3:4

Loving GOD is keeping HIS Commandments. 1 John 5:3

Could someone please explain how being tortured to death for the sins of the world would changed our Savior's attitude toward men replacing HIS Fathers Commandments with a new tradition?

Jesus said not a single accent mark of a single letter of GOD's law would change until heaven and earth passed away! Mat 5:18

GOD Bless,

Yashua is Lord, not Paul!

Update:

In GOD's eyes being a hypocrite does not change based on the situation!

If it is vain worship and hypocritical to replace HIS Commands with a tradition it is hypocritical ! PERIOD!

GOD's law does not adjust to the person or the situation!

    You are not understanding Matt 15:1-14. It states how the Pharisees are disobeying GOD an making up what they want. WE, All Others are to keep obeying the 5th Commandment!

    Look at Matthew 5:17-20 where Jesus teaches/requires that Everyone of the 613 Commandments that GOD gave to Moses, we are still required to keep obeying! Plus the new ones from GOD had Jesus teach in the New Testament! The only exception to this is in Acts where Jesus teaches that we do not have to obey the ones for eating Kosher. At the end of the Kosher Commandments the Bible states IF one sticks to this diet they are Not likely to ever get sick. I removed pork and claims .... from my diet when I read this!

    Too many religions these days are very lazy and pretend they can not see these lines Matt 5:17-20. In the Catholic Bibles most words have been removed leaving these lines with zero meanings.

    SDA theology sucks, and is not innerent. so is baptist theology and their fundamental list of articles of faith also. but, to say that one has to worship God ONLY on the seventh day is legalistically in error. yes we need to keep the seventh day holy and the sabbath, but who knows for sure if the seventh day is not friday or saturday. the muslims have a friday sabbath. and when its the seventh day on the easter continent, its still the sixth day on the western continent, and when a man misses a sabbath, the words of the bible say to take two sabbaths the next time around. so not every interpretation is the truth, besides, the baptists believe that the apostles changed the sabbath to the first day because of the resurrection of the lord on the first day. something like that.

    an remember what paul said: let no man judge you in sabbaths. or in eating meat.

    and yes all gentiles who are not circumcised also transgress the laws of a jewish side of christianity. and jesus said one must keep every word of God. and again, it says a man must work 6 days but what is a day? should a man work from sun up to sun down to obey the letter of the law. ? thats also part of the 4 th commandment. but people neglect that part when christians now have two days off while they labor for mammon and minimum wage to pay off a debt owed to the banks when borrowing with interest that makes the payment of the house twice or three times what it was sold at. one cannot serve God and mammon and serve the two masters. or did you forget that teaching as well. most people do.

    as for God being described as one that does not change, He did change his mind when he said he would destroy Ninevah, but they repented in sackcloth and ashes. but whe it says that God doesnt change, it is written that its the resurrected body of the Lord that doesnt change, and if God and jesus are not a trinity, and God the Father does have a resurrected body, its definitly His body that doesnt change in appearance. and thats another story from the bible. did the two disciples see jesus in his resurrected body, or did they see someone else in a different form. because many did rise from the graves, world wide.

    No, it was the Jews who changed their minds.

    Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 31:32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke, although I was a husband to them, says Yahweh.

    They agreed to a covenant with God, and then broke that covenant. So God made a new covenant to supersede it (Heb 8:7,13).

    And even you don't believe what you are saying.

    Ex 31:14 You shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 31:15 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to Yahweh. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death.

    So who have you killed in your effort to obey God in regard to the Sabbath? And if you are not following all of the old covenant, why would you expect others to?

    What Paul understood, being a doctor of the Law, was that Christians, being no longer under the law, had the right; the Christian Liberty, to esteem any day to God, or esteem no day. Before the law, Abraham and the patriarchs were not restricted to the worship of God just one day a week, or restricted to any particular location as was extant under the law.

    Jesus berated the Jews for making stuff up in how they "kept" certain points of law. You appear to be doing the exact same thing, associating the Sabbath command with "worship" and not rest from labor.

    Next is your interpretation of Mt. 5:18, that ignores the context. The reference in verse 17 was to the law and prophets, and there are no laws codified in the prophets. The only thing that exists in both the law and prophets with the potential to be fulfilled or destroyed are prophesies, and all is to be done according to the book, even down to jots and tittles. If the "law" or legalities of the law are what remain, inviolate down to jots and tittles, then how is it you add "worship" to the Sabbath? How is it you do away with 98% of that law?

    Furthermore, once heaven and earth disappear, and the law is "fulfilled" it goes away??? And how can Jesus, later in the same chapter, alter points of law way beyond these "accent marks"?

    Jesus/Jashua is indeed Lord, and His death ended the old covenant even as any marriage covenant ends upon the death of either party, for Jesus was the God of that old covenant incarnate.

    Seeing as Jesus is your Lord, He, as Lord of the Sabbath, declared that it was now lawful to do good works on the Sabbath, as contrasted to evil works. Are your works good, or evil?

    No. Jesus said that the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath. The important thing is to dedicate a day to serving God. The Church Jesus established worshiped on the first day of the week, Sunday--the day of the Resurrection, the most important event in the history of the world.

    No he did not.

    Jehovah has his own timeline.

    2 Peter 3:9 Jehovah is not slow concerning his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire anyone to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance. 10 But Jehovah’s day will come as a thief,

    Paul never started a new way. All the apostles got together in Acts and agreed that what Paul taught was gospel.
