Baloney. History has it that Constanine put a stop to the killing of Christians. What is your source? History also shows that it was Diocletian who killed the most Christians by Roman emperors.

Let me ask you a question as to Hebrews 4. What does "entering into God's rest" mean to you?

You'll have to quote "Constantine's law" not just refer to it. Constantine stopped the killing of Christians, so you are not making sense. Christians weren't keeping Saturday. Sunday was already being observed, so Constantine is not responsible for changing Saturday to Sunday. Where are you...

I'm flabbergasted you again started your post from your worn out cut and paste arsenal. ROFL

This is the reason the CC should have included the Epistle of Barnabas in the canon. It was fought for and on six different lists of candidates. It was read in all the early churches and believed by them to have been written by the apostle Barnabas. Is this clear enough for you? It is for me...

What? Are you saying we should be enthralled by the RCC? What, to revere it? Oh, please... They added so much paganism the early 1st century church is unrecognizable.

Don't you realize it has a prophecy that would be another 2000 years before its fulfillment? God preserved it for us today. But it had already been read in all the churches before the compiling of the scriptures, and why Justin Martyr said they worshiped on Sunday, and why - right out of the...

So then you say you can't remember Jesus testing anyone's faith? Okay, now I understand your question.

Your questions leave more questions. Worshiping whom/him?

The Epistle of Barnabas didn't rewrite scripture. It IS scripture. When you read Hebrews 4 you are left wondering what exactly "entering into God's rest" means. It also compares it to the Sabbath. But Paul also said it wasn't their entering into the Promised Land, so seeing as the children of...

By whom?

By test, do you mean by tempting someone to do wrong? It's not clear. James 1:13-15 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed...

I agree with you. But in reading the missing canonical book from our present canon, The Epistle of Barnabas, my understanding widened. Entering into God's rest is entering into eternity, not just rest from dead works, which as you say, is by believing in Jesus. It is salvation. Barnabas 15:8...

Using Catholicism, and the false doctrines of the Reformationists to prove me wrong, after all the times I've said I'm not one of them nor hold them in regard, is a waste of time. That would be like holding up Hitler as a role model for separation of Christianity from the world. But you keep...

Yes, I know that much of what I say seems to go over your head...:(

Hebrews 4 shows that the 7th day of Creation was a foreshadow of entering into God's rest. SDA says this is speaking of keeping the Sabbath, but it is not. It is entering into salvation - eternal life, which is only by believing on the name of His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus is the focal point of...

Right, we are not saved one day a week. We've entered into God's rest which is everyday into eternity.

No, not at all. They can't claim something that was already instituted at Pentecost. That would be like me falling out of bed and claiming I discovered gravity!

I agree with everything you wrote, I would just like to add to this point, specifically about the Sabbath. The Sabbath was created at the beginning, and was a foreshadow of entering into God's rest. Hebrews 4. That rest is not a day of the week, but while under a tutor was kept as one until it...

Do you have a scripture text for that "sunset clause"
