What is real is Truth. And nothing you've said above is truth. What is true is that only one day, the seventh day Sabbath, was established over 1000 years before there was ever a Jew. At creation the seventh day was blessed, sanctified, and made holy by Jesus Himself... Thus making the Sabbath the Lord's day. He reiterated that when He said, I am the Lord of the Sabbath day. It is the church, by it's own sense of importance, and by it's own authority that she has sought to replace that very same Sabbath day with another day which has no sanction whatsoever of Jesus, His Father, or the Apostles, or any New Testament writing. Even your own church's teachers admit as much as had been quoted previously in this very thread. Yet you ignore, obfuscate, and refuse adamantly to "keep anything real". And Bible study Mary? Your "study" in this matter, and in most anything else you promote on this site, is shallow, selective, often incoherent, biased, and agenda driven.Keeping it real..
I suggest you do a lot more studying. Start with Colossians 2:16,17.
Oh, and your sweeping assertion that 30 years after Christ rose from the dead that there were no Christians observing the Sabbath? From a provincial council in the late 3rd century held in Laodicea we read the following from canon 29...
"Christians should not Judaize and should not be idle on the Sabbath, but should work on that day; they should, however, particularly reverence the Lord’s day and, if possible, not work on it, because they were Christians”. Now ask debate aside regarding whether observing the Sabbath is in fact judaizing as suggested here, what this does reveal is that a long time past the time of the Apostles, there were Christians who were honoring the Sabbath by not working on that day, being classified as heretics by the church for doing so. A variety of historians over the centuries have also testified through many sources that in different parts of the world Christian churches observed the Sabbath. Among them the Celtic church in Britain that Patrick helped establish, the Christian Church in the east, the Thomas Christians in India, and the Ethiopian church, as well as the Waldensian church... All of which apart from the Ethiopian and Assyrian churches which were out if the reach of Rome, suffered centuries of persecution at the hands of the Papacy.
