The reason why we ignore some of these quotations, is because, I must confess that we are a bit shocked why you would still be reverting to these old arguments that have been buried centuries ago.
1. Justin Martyr came from a pagan gentile background and was raised going to a heathen school, and studied Pothagoris.
2. Numerous quotations from Justin Martyr have proven to be forgeries.
3. If you had even casually read the most basic Adventist apologetics, you would have found your arguments hopelessly astray a long time ago.
Try reading "History of the Sabbath" by JN Andrews. Or "From Sabbath to Sunday" by Samuele Bacchiocchi.
Or "The Lost Meaning of the Seventh Day" by Sigve Tonstad
Or a whole study on the writings of Justin Martyr on the Sabbath by Dr. William H. Shea.
Become informed by OUR research before you attempt to refute us and pretend as though we have not done our homework.
It would be much appreciated.
You emphasize the pagan background of Justin Martyr. Luke and a number of other person confirmed as Christians and as saints in the New Testament were born and raised as pagans. The posthumous surname of Martyr was conferred on Justin because he was a martyr to the Christian faith when Marcus Aurelius was Emperor.
On the possibility that statements attributed to Justin Martyr could be forgeries, or mis-attributed, try this.
Encarta under Justin Maryr:
The books that are ascribed to Justin with certainty are the two Apologies for the Christians, which comprise an erudite defense of Christians against charges of atheism and sedition in the Roman state...

The section that I quoted is from the First Apology of Justin Martyr, ascribed ...with certainty.
