Where's the news? A Jew going to synagogue is not news. Something else significant is going on here. His custom was not going to synagogue. (everyone did that) What was it?

I'm not claiming that the Sabbath was changed to Sunday. The Sabbath is still the seventh day. Ask any Jew.

What about these? Is this an example of Sabbath promotion? John 9:16 Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others asked, “How can a sinner perform such signs?” So they were divided. John 5:18 For this reason they tried all the more to...

It wasn't the seventh day for Adam. It was the second day. Six days of work come first. How could humankind ever be on the same day as God rested? That would only work if humankind were made the previous week and then worked the whole week that God did.

I have read it. That's why I disagree with you. Who knew before God told Moses? There is no evidence of any human observing the Sabbath before Exodus chapter sixteen.

There are lots of factors to consider. It is night on one side of the planet and day on the other. What time zone ids the seventh day Sabbath in? Should it be observed on Israel time?

For whom was it blessed? Who knew before Moses? Exodus 31:13 “Say to the Israelites, ‘You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy. Ezekiel 20:12 Also I gave them my Sabbaths as a sign...

How do we know that the seventh day of creation was the same day as the seventh day after manna collection?

That looks like a house of cards to me. Haven't we already passed that deadline? Are you naming dates? Are you a SDA?

Right. The Sabbath points back to that.

The Sabbath points back to that. But it was actually instituted in Exodus chapter sixteen with the manna collection. This is the first appearance of the word Sabbath in the Bible.

Faith isn't like car keys. Check under the couch cushions to see where you left it.

Could you provide references to your scriptures? Hard to respond otherwise. Since when were all the nations invited to go up "to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles"?

Again, you are imposing something on the text that is not there.

Right. However, you are imposing something on the text that is not there.

I don't think that is what it says at all.

Are you calling Catholic believers pagans? Or just their leader?

This is a point on which we agree. Although I see it a little differently than perhaps you do. I see a gradual unraveling of the law beginning with John the Baptist and extending to the Apostle Paul on the Road to Damascus. There were several events along the way that added to this transition...

Are you keeping the new moon?

This may seem like semantics to you, but I don't think the Sabbath is part of "the law of God". (as quoted above) I see a distinct difference between God's law of human conscience and "the law" God gave to the Israelites alone through Moses. In fact, I think the presence of the Sabbath...
