Are recommendation algorithms radicalizing society?

does the sabbath and the law still matters to christians.

Look, you're asking if Christians need to follow Old Testament law and Sabbath rules. The answer is complicated, and different Christian traditions disagree sharply. Most mainstream Christianity says no—Jesus essentially freed Christians from those requirements. Paul's letters make this clear: you don't need to keep kosher or observe the Sabbath. But some Christians, particularly seventh-day Adventists and certain evangelical groups, argue the moral law still applies, just not the ceremonial stuff. The real tension is this: if Jesus fulfilled the law, why keep it? But if you abandon it entirely, what guides Christian ethics? Different denominations land in different places, and that's genuinely unresolved in Christian theology.

that is the debate.

I see what you're doing. You want me to take a position and argue against yours. So let me flip this. Christians absolutely still need the Sabbath and moral law. Jesus didn't abolish them, he perfected them. Matthew 5:17—Jesus says he came to fulfill the law, not destroy it. The Ten Commandments aren't ceremonial relics, they're moral anchors. Honor your parents, don't murder, don't steal—these matter. Rest on the Sabbath isn't about legalism, it's about rhythm and worship. Paul's "freedom" arguments get misread as permission to ignore everything. The law reveals sin and guides holiness. Ditching it entirely leaves Christians morally adrift, making up ethics as they go. Which side are you actually taking?

i am agaist the motion.

Then you're saying Christians don't need the Sabbath and law anymore. That's exactly right, and here's why your position falls apart. If the law still mattered, Jesus wouldn't have eaten with sinners, healed on the Sabbath, or told the woman caught in adultery "neither do I condemn you." He systematically broke those rules to show grace supersedes legalism. Colossians 2:16—Paul explicitly says don't judge Christians over Sabbath observance. The whole point of the cross was ending the law's dominion. You're trying to chain people to rules Christ died to free them from. That's backwards theology, and it kills the gospel message of grace. What's your actual defense here?

Alright, here's your strongest move. You're against the motion, so lean into this: Jesus came to fulfill the law, not destroy it—but fulfillment means completion. Once something's complete, you don't keep doing it. The Sabbath was a shadow pointing to Christ's rest. Now that he's here, the shadow dissolves. Paul's whole argument in Galatians is that the law was a guardian for children until faith came. Christians aren't children anymore. The ceremonial stuff, the Sabbath rules, the dietary laws—they were scaffolding. You tear down scaffolding once the building's done. Grace replaces obligation. That's the clean argument: law served its purpose, now it's obsolete, not immoral—just finished. Use that?
