Agreed. Why can people not see that? Whereas the Antichrist (The Papacy) can most assuredly, and does, sit in the church, taking the place of Christ (the meaning of Antichrist) as the head of the church, the dispenser of salvation, and the king preparing to take His throne.

You do the reformers a grave disservice. You seriously underestimate why they believed the Papacy was the Antichrist. Not just one pope at one time, but the entire succession of popes from the 6th century to this day. It is the system that is Antichrist. You could do some serious research into...

And a great deal after that, until the weight of papal persecution and pressure reduced the Sabbath to the dung heap of Christian faith and practice, and at the same time exalting a day to which no sacredness had been attached and no mention thereof other than an ordinary day, along with...

You are questioning the continuation of something that God had ordained for 4000 years without clear evidence that continuity had changed. What reasons do you have for questioning, when the apostles obviously didn't?

You have show how early, (In John's day) the mystery of iniquity was sprouting.

Do you have any evidence suggesting the law written upon the heart comprised only 9 commandments instead of 10?

@David in NJ Acts 13:44 And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God. (Including Gentiles) 45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. 46...

We can boil it down to a simple idea...was the day still holy, sacred, blessed and sanctified after the cross?

Couldn't agree with you more. The time is coming soon when you will be put to the test on that. Whose authority are you submitted to? To whom does your heart belong? Do our lives really meet with God's approval, or are we mis-using God's own words to justify our reluctance to fully surrender?

I can't make anything mandatory for anyone, not even my wife, let alone you. Nor can the church. But God can and did. As others have stated before me, the sabbath was made for humanity as a gift. To reject the gift is to reject the Giver and Maker thereof. You make convaluted theological...

The new covenant was ratified at Calvary, by the blood of Christ. The writer of Hebrews declared that once ratified, as in a final testament, nothing can be changed. “15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions...

Interesting. You are giving us all an example of the future arguments presented in court by the Government's prosecution attorneys on behalf of Sunday churches when Sabbath observance is outlawed. You keep talking about a death sentence. “And he had power to give life unto the image of...

Kia Ora Angelina. Have you considered Acts 13? Have you considered that the reason no-one specifically "commanded" Gentiles to observe the Sabbath was because they were already doing so? See verses 14-44. If Gentile Christians weren't observing the Sabbath, or it wasn't the custom to do so...

That isn't one question. Not all of those are the same. Therefore not one answer. First, justified, because that is first chronologically as life happens. Justification entirely based on the death of Christ. The blood of Christ atones. By it all condemnation is removed, I am declared...

Sorry bro, but the onus is not upon us to prove the NT has a specific commandment concerning the sabbath. The commandment was already there, and there is no "Thus sayeth the Lord" which abrogated it. . The onus therefore is on you to prove Jesus or the apostles intended to change the sabbath...

How about reading a little further in the scriptures and include Romans 6. Who we seek to obey, his servants we are who we obey. Whose servant are you when you decide that obedience to God's commandments is an optional extra? And yes, absolutely I said that. But the "performance" part you...

But which clearly needs to continue for some.

You didn't answer the question. I'll ask again. Where and what was God's temple at the time of Paul's writing?

Like Paul counselled, keep that which is true, reject that which isn't.

Presumption and Gross misapprehension of the character of God's purposes. Now be honest. Where and what was God's temple at the time of Paul's writing?
