Matt 22:36-38 says: “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.

I thought I had finally found a decent church, (church of God seventh day) Sabbath keeping and understanding of my Jewish ways until last Sabbath when one of the elders again brought up the "law", teaching in Sabbath school that it was "nailed to the cross".
