Who is ellen white? And one source whatever it is will not get you a good mark in a university paper. Because I have three university degrees for which I have written numerous papers for, I tend to adopt the same methodology with anything I am studying. If I don't I can get lazy and offer one source and say that is good enough when I know it isn't.

Recently I finished studying the life of the New Testament Church for a Ph.D. but despite this fact, I have been told by some that I don't know what I am talking about.

I tend to let silly and infantile remarks like that go through to the keeper.
i could give you a dozen sources , it would not matter, you are a Sabbath pusher with an agenda.

the Bible supports sun. meeting for 1st century Christians.

and, if you truly do nit know who ellen white is, look her up. you will like here, she pushed the same lie you do.

Congratulations. A nice bit of cut and paste. However, I wil get back to you when I have worked out why 10 authors said they met on the sabbath, not sunday. I will try and find out why they needed to lie.
why would pliny the younger lie about when Christians met, since he could have been executed for lying to the emperor?

So what is my agenda other than searching the scriptures to find out what the truth is? And I have reported you for calling me a liar.

Why don't you ask him? Unlike you, I don't jump to conclusions which is what you did when you said the letter that says they met early in the morning proves they met on Sunday.

If I say that I meet early in the morning with other men for fellowship does not prove that we meet on Sunday.

I have just read 10 books about the life and times of the New Testament church and they all said that the church met on the sabbath and not one said they met on Sunday. So if you don't mind I will go with the body of evidence our of the mouth of many witnesses.
Were those 10 books written by SDA's? So you will go with the body of evidence out of the mouth of many witnesses, huh? ;)

What a judgment you are making of me personally for speaking of what scripture says. In my defense of myself, I am 96, in a wheelchair, and housebound. There is no way for me to get to any church. I went to Sunday church because that is when my church met. This is besides the point of what God is saying. You are sinning by judging me, it is only the Lord to judge. You are bringing up my personal walk with the Lord, and that has nothing to do with the subject of what God is saying to us.

We are concerned with one author.

The word rest (sabbath) is not a time sensitive word in any way shape or form . Why try to establish one?

I've known Blik for many years on CC. I guess since she was 90, making it 6 years. In those days, the age was part of your avatar. So everyone knew she was old, and a woman. We used to talk, till she became angry because she couldn't convince me to become a Hebrew Roots person, like her. There we're other things going on, not related to CC, and no fault of Blik's.

I will vouch for her age and integrity. What I will not stand for, is this cycle she has of coming back every 6 months or so, and pushing this erroneous theology on everyone here.

I'm not going to post verses. I've done it many times, and she doesn't listen. I've seen a really good case made for worshipping on Sunday, the first day of the week. No need for me to go through the whole tedious and irrelevant defence again.

So, Blik is 96, she is a woman, she believes strongly what she is saying, but sadly is caught up in this Hebrew Roots cult. She does a lot of other Jewish things, trying to keep Old Testament laws and commands that were not meant for the church!

It's called context, Blik! Context is where you show something to demonstrate your point, using the verses in the passage and how they support the people it was written to. While there are universal principles in the OT, the Levitical laws are not among them. Even in Genesis, where God rested, it was never meant to be a day God commands us to legalistically keep. The real universal principle is that God expects us to rest weekly, to restore our hearts, minds and souls. That is what honours God, not legalistically keeping certain days or the Jewish feasts, for that matter.

well I am not really caring that she is a women and 96. Many on the CC have a false narrative about who they say they are, and being women and 96 is not going to stop an opinion or control at narrative that is unbiblical. If her condition is as she says I hope and pray she is receiving the help she needs. most elderly don't use their age or gender to stifle a person who disagrees with them. :)

This is false this statement by blink. in Addition the name only says member not age or gender. You have to go and look at their status to get that information. How can I be making a judgement about them when I have not the information or knowledge of who they are?

Your understanding is wrong :)

We can’t just read the NT without understanding the old. If we do it we will miss what is really happening in the NT.

Example, the woman that was brought to Jesus for committing adultery. He didn’t pick up a stone to kill her. According to the law of Moses she should have been killed! So why did Jesus do something that was perceived as opposing the law?

The previous day before the Pharisees brought the woman to him, Jesus told everyone he is the one they have been waiting for. They rejected him.

The very next day the Pharisees tried to corner him and ask him about Torah, but He teaches them out of Torah. He never opposed Torah.

They asked him what to do to this lady and he quoted Torah to them:

Lev 20:10 And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

So first of all they only brought him the woman and not the man, and then very importantly He quoted Torah again by saying you without sin cast the first stone, quoting Deuteronomy 19 verses 16-19.

Deu 19:16 If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong;

Deu 19:17 Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;

Deu 19:18 And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother;

Deu 19:19 Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.

According to Torah they were bearing false witness and it was on them. Jesus was teaching Torah and we should be careful to judge as we are bringing curses on ourselves if we bear false witness.

After everybody left he said to her to sin no more. He didn’t tell her to not keep Torah my friend.

Guess you assume we have not read the Old Testament? And your example of Jesus and the rock isn unbiblical and out of context

Did Jesus do what you suggested?

Example, the woman that was brought to Jesus for committing adultery. He didn’t pick up a stone to kill her. According to the law of Moses she should have been killed! So why did Jesus do something that was perceived as opposing the law?

As you go on to explain your point. Yet you failed to explain those very pharisees were not keeping the law they taught to other AS Jesus made very clear inMatthew 23 read it. Secondly Those who are in Christ are free from the law which Jesus said and Paul those who keep the law must KEEP all of it. Are you are to do that in yourself? If you can why does one need Christ>? Oh for givenness so you can keep at law that you broke before to only break another and ask forgiveness? Are you Justified by the law? Was it the Law who saved you? Read Gal 5. and Rom 6-8
And go back and read How Abraham did not have the law and how his obedience was counted to him as righteousness with God. Now we are to be Obedient to Christ. Abraham was justified before he was Circumcised and before the law and Paul addressed to which he was more obedient to the law than you or I.

Sunday pushers do not go by scripture, there is no scripture declaring Sunday as Sabbath, there is scripture declaring Saturday as Sabbath. I would rather go by scripture.

Man calls Saturday the day of worshipping Saturn, and Sunday as the day of worshipping the sun. The Lord looks at our hearts. What do you call these days in your heart? Do you believe God when he declared the seventh day a Sabbath, or do you believe the seventh day is the day of Saturn?

i believe that Jesus rose on sun, not the jewish Sabbath, and early Christians began to meet early on sun. morning , as the N.T. says.

you are wrong in the fact that rome instituted sun. worship in the 300's.

as i have said above, roman governor pliny the younger attested to this in 112 a.d.

you and i had a polite " agree to disagree" in place, let's please honor that.

Look up all the verses that say the first day of the week I the original greek.
You do NOT have the "original greek"; You have never handled, touched, or seen the "original greek", and neither have your 'scholars'. It does NOT Exist!!
And history and evidence shows that there is no evidence that they met on Sunday. If you have some I would like to see it.

I have just read 10 books about the life and times of the New Testament church and they all said that the church met on the sabbath and not one said they met on Sunday. So if you don't mind I will go with the body of evidence our of the mouth of many witnesses.

And the 10 books I have read that describe how the New Testament Church lived and conducted itself, all said they met on the Sabbath and not one said they met on Sunday. With such overwhelming evidence, I am compelled to go with that.
Show the PROOF! Show the EVIDENCE! Where is it? Is it on that swamp land that you have for sale in Arizona, Egypt?
As a university graduate, I know that I stand a better chance of getting a good mark with 10 books to reference that if I use one letter to reference.
Yet you can't provide one shred of evidence in a single post.
Recently I finished studying the life of the New Testament Church for a Ph.D.
but despite this fact, I have been told by some that I don't know what I am talking about.
Should we be surprised? There are a lot of Quacks out there with a 'Ph.D.', such as Dr. Who Thunk It & Dr. Who Flunked It. A Ph.D is not a replacement for The Holy Ghost.
Congratulations. A nice bit of cut and paste. However, I wil get back to you when I have worked out why 10 authors said they met on the sabbath, not sunday. I will try and find out why they needed to lie.
You're all talk and no action. You can't provide a single Bible verse to support your error.

So what is my agenda other than searching the scriptures to find out what the truth is? And I have reported you for calling me a liar.
This isn't the first that you have tattletaled to bear false witness against someone that has disagreed with you, and have called you out for your heresy. The truth is that you are a Charasmatic False Prophet, of which is easily proven:

Sabbath pushers have not received the New Covenant. Gentiles never were under obligation to keep the law.

Christians and most of them were Jews at the time met on the first day of the week not on the Sabbath. In fact they were not welcome to worship on the Sabbath.

We worship every day of the week not one day alone. We gather for corporate worship one day of the week perhaps two depending on the assembly.

For the cause of Christ

In the teaching of the first born. The purpose for the ceremonial law of circumcision.
Chapter and verse, please. "The teaching of the firstborn" is not a book of the Bible.

one thing about blik

she pushes this Sabbath keeping over and over as has been said

she becomes old and alone when too many responses indicate she is trying to keep the law and the Bible does not agree with her viewpoint

so I don't know how old she is but I do know that comes up when a 'sympathy' post is warranted

done it to me a few times

so, you are either too young to be taken seriously, or too old to be called out on your errors

at any rate, this pony doesn't ride

Well, Jesus was raised on the first day of the week which the word of God says. Sunday service is done not in context to the Sabbath but in honoring, remembering, and commemorating The Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
