For example - she equates the Pope with the "Beast" of Revelation, stating that the numerical value of his title equals "666".
So you admit that "vicarius filii dei" is an official title. Vicar of the Son of God. Interesting that the value you speak of is in the original Latin... Any English application is just nonsense.
However - she never mentions the fact that the numerical value of her OWN name also adds up to "666".
why would she, is irrelevant.
See above.
OR the fact that she got this "evidence" from a well known FORGERY known as the Donation of Constantine
Lol a forgery which was used for centuries by your infallible church to justify her secular authority. Had your church every officially recognised that she was using a forgery to justify theft and despotism?
The fact that
First Day of the week
(Sunday) was designated as the
Lord's Day because of the
Resurrection is
Scriptural (Mark 16:9, Luke 24:1, John 20:1, 20:19, 1 Cor. 16:2, Rev. 1:10).
Oh, everyone knows
why the church claims Sunday is now sacred. But it isn't scriptural. Jesus Himself told us what day He was Lord of. The Sabbath. Your church has, by designating another day as His, lied.
1Cor16:2 says nothing about a change in the day for corporate worship, or rest, or abandonment of the Sabbath, or the exaltation of the first day. Folk got paid on the Friday... The day of preparation for the Sabbath. Paul wanted to help the Christians in Jerusalem who were in desperate need. So he asked that when they counted their money and budgeted for the week, they lay some aside for this donation. This naturally would take place in the first day of the week because they wouldn't do such a menial task on the Sabbath... Which they were still observing.
As for Revelation 1:10, as I mentioned above, the Lord's day was the Sabbath.
KJV Luke 6:5
5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
KJV Exodus 20:10
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
And your adherence to the literal Sabbath is yet another shadow that was FULFILLED by Christ - along with observance of dietary laws, festivals and new moons (Col. 2:16-2:17).
It is true that Col.2:16-17 speaks is Sabbaths that are shadows.
The seventh day is not a shadow.
The following verse says that those ordinances mentioned in verse 16 are… “a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ” –verse 17. Now a shadow points to something, whether forward or backwards. Which way did the seventh day Sabbath point? Take a look:
Exodus 20:11
(11) For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
The Sabbath points backwards, and not forward. It was set up in creation week as a memorial of creation, showing all living inhabitants of the earth that it was he who made all things and is the true God. It was not a shadow… “of things to come” as verse 17 says, but rather of things past… the creation. That the Seventh day of creation week is the same Sabbath day of the fourth commandment is crystal clear.
