Define "prove," (I guess :confused:) because, in the legal (beyond reasonable doubt) sense, I'm not sure it's possible. However, there is overwhelming evidence to substantiate it. Why are we playing games? History testifies that the day of the week called "Saturday" is the Sabbath, which is the...

I'm sayin'.

"Can't we please find a loophole to get away with disobeying God?"

If it doesn't matter then why bother making a technical argument? BTW, the 12-hour day theory is just antinomianist nonsense. :)

Good stuff, Sister! :)

Sorry, GE, but I'd rather not go off on a tangent. We were talking about Jesus, Himself (not) being the Sabbath, not textual criticism. I'm sure I don't need to tell you that I do value your input, though. :)

Are you honestly denying that Saturday is the 7th day of the week?

GE, you're just a treasure, you are. I hope you don't disappear as a lot of beacons have here. :)

I think it's very interesting (at the risk of getting off-topic) the way Christ understated things that Paul usually stated more strongly. I get the impression that without the restraint of the Holy Spirit Paul would have gone down some serious rabbit holes with all of his book larnin'. For...

@Ziggy I may be a bit over-cautious about drawing parallels from word studies (I've been burnt). But I admire those who aren't over-cautious. I think I miss out on a lot.

That's very interesting. Very.

Amen, Brother! I'm just so thankful that I am not as other men are who are thankful that... lol

It's a very nice song. The only problem is that Christ is not the Sabbath. He is Lord of the Sabbath. He gives rest. The rest referred to in Hebrews 4:9 is not Sabbath rest. It is heavenly or everyday rest in Christ. Even Adventist scholars believe that (it's in the Bible Commentary). The 7th...

Well, according to the more widely held evangelical position, Sabbath-keeping is no different than keeping feast days, mandatory circumcision, or offering animal sacrifices. The problem with the school of thought that the Sabbath is in no way compulsory to the Christian, is that no consensus...
