You're in the wrong section. I trust the Orthodox opinion on this subject about as much as I trust the Seventh Day Adventist's. Your loyalty to your denomination supersedes any chance at a rational discourse on the subject.
All calendars were lunar before the Romans made the first solar calendar. Sorry to break it to you, man, but that's the truth. The "week" was a function of lunar cycles. Otherwise, the sabbath is an arbitrary designation, and you can call it whatever day you want.
It's the only way that the Day of Atonement can always be on the same day of the year, yet always be a sabbath. It's an impossibility for a solar calendar, and an inevitability for a lunar calendar.
As far as I know, Baptist's do not teach the lunar Sabbath theory and Judaism itself fully disagrees with you. There is no scriptural, historical or any factual basis of it...in Judaism, the new moon was used each month for Rosh Chodesh but not for the weekly Shabbat which was on a 7 day cycle.
