The above statement is for what purpose ? Anyway ! There are many laws in the Bible 7 to be exact. God wrote one law with his own finger read it for yourself Deuteronomy 4:13; 10:3,4. There are many laws that God gave to moses to write but God wrote his law in stone to show us something. WHY ? I want to make it clear that the law saves nobody ! God gaves his law that we might live in peace and harmony. Deuteronomy 4:40. The law is perfect. Psalms 19:7. Does it say perfect for the Jews only ? IF someone want to know about the law I say read Psalms 119. I can show you text after text where the 10 Commandments written by God are binding and should be kept, but they don't save, they show that you really LOVE God. John 14:21. God wrote one law in the Bible and man continues to try to do away with it.

The day was given at creation to remind us of what God has done.
