Of course it wasn't. What man can change God's laws? Which is why the prophecy concerning the Antichrist papal system said in Daniel 7, that he would think to change times and laws. He can, and did legislate all he wants for Sunday sacredness. But in reality it is a futile empty attempt at...

I'm flabbergasted. I'm sitting here shaking my head at such biblical illiteracy. Twisting the entire nuance of James's text in order to defend tradition. So committing the actual deed is no longer an offence against God? Only thinking about it is offensive?

The Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath.

So? Yet it was practised everywhere. For centuries. By Gentile Christians in Gentile nations from Britain by the Celtic church to India by the St.Thomas Christians, from Ethiopia to China and all the churches of Asia along the great silk road, later wiped out by encroaching sand and Tammerlane...

The "Little Horn" of Daniel 7 didn't come to power until the restrainer was removed in the 6th century. He grew from among the ten horns and subdued 3 of them. He then grew to such power that a powerful and tyrannical institution formed around him, subverting truth and replacing Christ with...

Whose authority are you under? The ECFs, or Christ Himself Who declared the Sabbath as His own? Those who later exalted Sunday stole the expression from John, but altered its meaning. John was observing the Sabbath, just as the church had been doing for 3,500 years and continued to do until...

That so-called "one singular man" grew out of the church in the 6th century and is to be destroyed at the second coming. That's a heck of a life.

To come to that conclusion, one must set aside 500 years at least of serious Biblical scholarship. The Reformers did not come to their conclusions based on hearsay, experience, or personal angst.

I thought you said these were going to be Biblical. As SI said above, no stone temple in the future unsanctioned by the holy Spirit could ever be the temple of God. We are God's temple...Christ in us, the hope of glory. The abomination of desolation that surrounded Jerusalem in 70 AD were the...

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...
