Points well taken but clearly, from Romans, Christians have always kept the parts of the OT they like and claim "fulfillment" to toss aside the rest. They beat us over the head with the 10 Cs but then when I pointed out Christianity is in violation of commandment #4 (they moved the sabbath to Sunday), Christians I've addressed seem find dismissing it as part of the OT. Their comfort with their own inconsistency sometimes amazes me.
Are you saying God started creation on a Sunday, how do you know this, it very well may have been Wednesday. The original commandment says, six days you shall labor and on the seventh (sabbath) you shall rest. Did not see any days of the week mentioned.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
