You stated that no one could put forth anything biblical but that's not true and then turn to AI for the answers instead of letting the scriptures speak for themselves.
You still have never responded to my own Bible study
Asking AI to explain Sunday observance when NT has no such command or answered any of the contextual questions.
I only asked Chat on Greek idoms as I am not an expert and I am going to assume you are not either considering the figurative definitions you prefer over the literal ones. I added the other question to see what it would say.
We can easily see that "sabbath days" are translated exactly the same in all verses. They are all about the weekly sabbath days. We can seek these truths out for ourselves. And context does matter. Since holydays/feasts are already included that means "sabbath days" are exactly that -the plural of the weekly sabbath, not the annual sabbaths. And Paul never stated they were, you did.
Its the same word used for both annual sabbaths as it is for the weekly Sabbath(s), why we need to look at the context, which is what I am have been asking people to look at, which explains what Paul is speaking of clearly.
We can't insert out own beliefs. We have to let the scriptures speak for themselves.
Exactly
I know you believe that everyone continued to "keep" the sabbath but there's not one verse stating that.
Yet here it is in the literal Greek in the NT Heb4:9NIV
Original Word: σαββατισμός
Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine
Transliteration: sabbatismos
Pronunciation: sab-bat-is-mos'
Phonetic Spelling: (sab-bat-is-mos')
sabbatismos: Sabbath rest
Definition:
Sabbath rest
Meaning: a keeping of the Sabbath, a Sabbath rest.
And it was noted that they were keeping every Sabbath in a holy manner decades after the Cross it literally says
every Sabbath Acts 13:42 Acts 13:44 Acts 15:21 Acts 16:13 Acts 18:4 In the same manner as Jesus Luke4:16 as we are called to be followers of Christ, what a Christian means. That’s a lot of Sabbath-keeping that supposedly “ended at the Cross” Sorry if you do not believe coming together to hear the word of God and praying is examples of keeping the Sabbath day holy, but God does Lev23:3 Isa 58:13 Jesus predicted this would happen -all nations- not just Jews Acts 13:42, Acts 13:44 Acts 18:4 coming together in His house of prayer on the Sabbath Isa 56:6-7 so obviously its His will as that's why He personally wrote the Sabbath commandment in His Testimony and why its under His mercy seat and in the Most Holy of His Temple Rev 11:19 Rev 15:5 and will continue on for His saints Isa66:23
The disciples and apostles after Christ died and rose taught and preached on the sabbath days but that does not mean they were observing or "keeping it' If it was as important you and others believe I'm sure it would have been noted.
It was noted many times, why it was still called the Sabbath, because God of the Universe named it and told us how to keep it which we see the apostles faithfully doing just as Jesus indicated His faithful would still be keeping Mat 24:20-30 no point in praying about the Sabbath up to His Second Coming if the Sabbath was nailed to His cross, God Himself said it was not, my faith is in Him over the warning we have what people would do with the writings of Paul.
Instead we are told not to be judged about them.
Our Heavenly Father asking us to Remember, something that He sanctified- set apart for holy use, something He said was made for us, not important? That a personal choice, not one I choose to make.
I could turn to AI as well to put my own spin on what it will say about holydays/feast, etc but I would rather stick to scripture.
I have been studying this passage for many years before AI came out you could easily find this with a search on this site. It’s really not hard to see which sabbath(s) Paul was speaking about- the handwritten ordinances- contrary and against, I showed in Scripture where Moses handwrote these 2Chro33:8, which included the annual sabbaths ordinances and annual feast days Num9:12. God wrote with His finger which is the Holy Spirit, the Ten Commandments, called it His Testimony Exo31:18 and it included the weekly Sabbath God claimed as My holy day . Jesus said the Sabbath was made for mankind so how can what God made for mankind be against mankind? When is something that is holy and blessed by God be against man? Instead, why not look at the law Paul was quoting which we are told was set besides the ark as a witness
against you Deut31:24-26 or what the Bible says are the shadow laws, animal sacrifices Heb 10:1-10 which were tied to the annual sabbath(s), no animal sacrifices in 4th commandment Exo20:8-11, just the day to honor God on His holy day Isa58:13. God said the Sabbath is one of His commandments Exo20:6 Deut4:13 , not a temporary, ordinance, these are all things Paul gave in context I addressed every one of them in my Bible study I provided not once addressed by anyone. Or how Paul is going to make something end at the Cross that Jesus in His own words said would not Mat24:20-30 Isa66:22-23 AI didn’t come up with anything that I have not already been prayerfully studying for years. Sometimes hearing it from another source helps, but obviously not in the case, I tried.
And it seems at times you continue to move the goal posts. Such as stating that a little s was used in Colossians to denote annual sabbaths, etc. When presented with facts that prove that's not true you move onto to something else.
I am waiting for facts. The only fact presented was the yearly sabbaths uses the same word as the weekly Sabbath, but they obviously mean different things, one started at Creation that came before sin, the others connected with food and drink offerings and annual holy festivals that came after sin, the context tells us which one, as Paul did that no one ever seems to include for some reason.
Believe what you will, I guess we'll see...
Sure, wish you well.
