Psalm 19.
Is. 40:8
The grass withers and the flowers fade, but the word of our God stands forever.
Is Fortner distinguishing between the ceremonial laws (which we're shadows and types pointing to Christ) and the moral law (Those which are written on the hearts of men, as found in the Decalogue)?
If not, then YES, it's Antinomian.  | He says the law of God has nothing to do with the believer and that keeping the sabbath is forbidden.
"6. The New Testament expressly forbids sabbath observance by believers. Not only is there no instruction on how believers should keep the sabbath in this gospel age, the practice is specifically forbidden (Col. 2:16-17)." |
Those who believe this put themselves in quite a quandry. They are forbidden to set aside one day in seven for corporate worship. They are forced (by their own logic) to meet on a sporadic schedule because if they ever accidentally meet 8 days after the last meeting they broke their own commandment.
Good luck!
