Vatican council... heretic councils... what's the difference? It's all just as confusing.

The primitive Christians did keep the Sabbath of the Jews; therefore the Christians, for a long time together, did keep their conventions upon the Sabbath, in which some portions of the law were read: and this continued till the time of the Laodicean council. The Whole Works of Jeremy Taylor, Vol. IX,p. 416 (R. Hebers Edition, Vol XII, p. 416).
Not really...Yes, I'm sure that they did....
...What they didn't do was worship Jesus as God on Saturday.
...Because that's what Christians did on Sunday.
The reason they attenended Sabbath Jewish service was ONLY to reason with the Jews....
...And try to get them to join the Christian Faith.
The seventh-day Sabbath was solemnised by Christ, the Apostles, and primitive Christians, till the Laodicean Council did in manner quite abolish the observations of it. Dissertation on the Lords Day, pp. 33, 34Gonna have to pull out the notes again.
Is this the one?
363 Synod of Laodicea
In the period between the First and Second Ecumenical Councils there was a Local Council in Laodicea (c. 363) that decreed, by its 7th Canon: "Persons converted from heresies, that is, of the Novatians, Photinians, and Quartodecimans: . . . shall be received by way of renouncing the heresy and through chrismation." Thus, we see here as well that the more tolerant view prevailed over the more rigid. However, St. Basil the Greats canons or the Laodicean canons, as authoritative as they may have been, were not as yet laws for the whole universal Church. A decision of an Ecumenical Council[23] was needed. Later, the Sixth Ecumenical Council decreed (in Canon 2) to accept the canons of St. Basil the Great and the canons of Laodicea as laws for the whole Church. This took place more than three centuries later.[24]

That was the Synod declared Ecumenical that postumously declared the apostles and very early church heretics for observiing the date of the Lord's death on the 14th.

Did they reject any of the doctines that came out of it or did they accept all of them? Just curious
In the last half of that century St. Ambrose of Milan stated officially that the Abyssinian bishop, Museus, had traveled almost everywhere in the country of the Seres (China). For more than seventeen centuries the Abyssinian Church continued to sanctify Saturday as the holy day of the fourth commandment. Ambrose, DeMoribus, Brachmanorium Opera Ominia, 1132, found in Migne, Patrologia Latima, Vol.17, pp.1131,1132.You're talking about those after 1054? No need to be confused.
Down even to the fifth century the observance of the Jewish Sabbath was continued in the Christian church. Ancient Christianity Exemplified, Lyman Coleman, ch. 26, sec. 2, p. 527.So the Christians who worship on Saturday aren't really Christians?
Hoping the RCs and EOs will chime in more on thisTough to get a straight answer from RC or EO on this; because of infalliblity questions I suppose.
The evidence is that the decisions of the local synod of Laodicea were accepted as binding on the whole Church of the time.
In Jeromes day (420 A.D.) the devoutest Christians did ordinary work on Sunday. Treatise of the Sabbath Day, by Dr. White, Lord Bishop of Ely, p. 219.But not God's Church.
These were just men makeing it up as they went along, i.e. traditions of men.
And we know what Jesus thought of traditions of men; don't we?
