Then by all means please state the weight that you give to the truth of your positions
Which ones? Fill in the blankets:

Let proposition P1 = ___.
P2 = ___.

Between 0 and 10, how much weight do you put on each of the above propositions?

in your opening posts and show your work.
You misunderstand the purpose of the weighting.

The apostles were commissioned to observe everything Jesus commanded of them, and they observed every Sabbath decades after the cross. Acts 13:42 Acts 1344 Acts 18:4. Your argument is not one made in the scriptures. There is no Jew or Gentiles if in Christ. Gal 2:26-28 Which is why the Gentiles asked for more gospel preaching on the next Sabbath instead of asking for day 1 preaching.
The topic of whether or not believers since the cross are required to observe the Sabbath is another subject entirely than these verses about the believers' flight from Jerusalem which they were to pray would not take place on the Sabbath. I currently don't have the time from my work schedule to devote to that separate theme of Sabbath observance, which can consume quite a bit of time to cover it as it deserves.

Not really. There would be no point keeping the Sabbath after the cross if it ended as many erreousnesly teach.

Ok, no problem, thanks for the chat.

God bless.

The positions that you post in your opening posts. The opening post in every thread that you start should include showing your work for how you arrive at the weight that you give to your position if you are also demanding that those who respond give the weight for their position both because you would be holding yourself to the same standard that your are demanding of others and because you would be teaching others how to do the work to give the number that you're asking for.

You misunderstand the purpose of the weighting.
Then what is the purpose of the weighing?

Again, you misunderstood. If you wish to learn, please fill in the blankets:

Let proposition P1 = ___.
P2 = ___.

And challenge me:

Between 0 and 10, how much weight do you put on each of the above propositions?

I'd be happy to answer you.

Let proposition P1 = The evidence to support keeping the Jewish Sabbath is not that strong.
P2 = It is not the case that the evidence to support keeping the Jewish Sabbath is not that strong.

Between 0 and 1,000,000, how much weight do you put on each of the above propositions?

Good.

The trouble now is that your propositions are not technically propositions because of a lack of precision. Do you want me to correct them for you or do you want to do it yourself? To save iterations, I think you should let me do it :)

Let proposition P1 = The evidence to support today's Christians keeping the Jewish Sabbath is strong.

Would you accept the above wording for P1? If not, feel free to modify it :)
I stated P! as a quote from your OP, but if your ok with me modifying it, then that works too.

That works.
Great. Finally, we are getting somewhere :)

Let proposition P1 = The evidence to support today's Christians keeping the Jewish Sabbath is strong.
P2 = ¬P1 = The evidence to support today's Christians keeping the Jewish Sabbath is not strong.

Between 0 and 10, I'd place 2 on P1 and 8 on P2. I am willing to bet based on this weighting scheme. Are you?

How did you arrive at 2 and 8?

Good question :) These are subjective weights based on my reasoning at Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the SABBATH and some other posts, plus my life experience. They represent a summary of my opinion on the propositions. It is not an arbitrary but a scientific method of probabilistic knowing. See the general methodology at Search results for query: subjective. That's what makes it worth betting :)

If you disagree with these weights, you can set up your own or you can bet on these. That's how it works.

Finally, we are communicating somewhat :)

You say that it is not arbitrary, but it sounds more like you're making an arbitrary judgement call based on your reasoning, posts, and experiences. I was asking for 0-1,000,000 because I wanted more precision if it is scientific, but it just seems like you're making a judgement call that 2 and 8 sounds about right without explaining the math behind it. Christ set an example for us to follow of how to keep God's law, including keeping the Sabbath holy and Christians are people to seek to follow Christ's example, so I don't see how you can think that is a 2.

Let proposition P1 = Followers of Christ should follow Christ's example.
P2 = ¬P1 = Followers of Christ should not follow Christ's example.

Between 0 and 1,000,000, how would you weigh this?

Please read Subjective (Bayesian) Probability and follow up there. Bayes said that it is not arbitrary because there are mathematical formulas associated with the opinion.
