Paul’s Service:\u00a0Delivering a Glorious Message<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe idea that there was a second book has no basis in Scripture. Ask them where you can find this second book in the Bible and which passages are from the second book and which are from the first book. My guess is that you’ll find them intermingled. For example, the laws on the Sabbath are not just in the Ten Commandments, they are also scattered in the other books. The same goes for laws on stealing, murder, etc. If there is not a clear delineation between these supposed two books, then the arbiter is not God but men who desire to say which laws they will keep and which they will discard.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
