Is Jesus Christ the same yesterday today and forever Heb 13:8?
In Matthew 15:1-14 Jesus called out the Pharisees because they were keeping a tradition that made HIS Fathers Command of no effect. Jesus said they were hypocrites and worshiped in vain. The blind leading the blind!
Now fast forward some 25 years and a Pharisee by the name of Paul came to Jerusalem calming to be a follower of Christ. The Church is teaching that Paul started a new tradition that made GOD's Sabbath day Command of no effect.
If you believe Paul started a new tradition please explain how being tortured to death for the sins of the world changed our Saviors attitude about traditions replacing HIS Fathers Commands!
GOD Bless,
JESUS is Lord, not Paul!

Certainly, Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever, as Hebrews 13:8 states. The book of Hebrews goes on to say that belief in Jesus being the One who shed His blood for sinners enables people to enter into God's rest. Chapter 4 explains that, verse 10 saying that "anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his." It is belief - faith - that enables a person to enter into God's rest.
Now, many Christians believe that the Apostle Paul wrote that letter to Hebrew Christians in the first century. Are you saying that he did not? I am dismayed that you want to make a Big Thing about one day in the week being (supposedly) the only day for worship that God approves of. Do not Christians worship and serve God seven days a week? Do not Christians resist trying to earn God's approval by observing days and seasons and habits of religion? Do not Christians rest in the finished work of Christ on the cross, and make no plea to God other than that Christ's shed blood 'covers' them?
No Christian in the world has ever claimed that Paul is Lord. The apostle Peter defended Paul's writings. Check that out in 2 Peter 3:15-16 if you don't believe me. But Peter never acclaimed Paul as Lord! Paul himself stated categorically that only Jesus is Lord. So there seems to be a disconnect between your initial question and then your attack on the apostle Paul.
