Should we keep Gods laws today?
To find out we must get our answer from the bible. Read: 1Pet 4:11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God: if any man minister, let him doe it as of the ability which God giveth, that God in all things may bee glorified through Iesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Read: Rev 22:18-20 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophesy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues, that are written in this book. 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophesy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. 20 He which testifieth these things, saith, Surely, I come quickly. Amen. Even so, Come Lord Iesus.
