    Was Ignatius' claim that Christians didn't keep the Sabbath correctly translated?

    Hello! According to this Sabbatarian source, Ignatius' statement, normally translated thus, is incorrect (emphasis mine): If then those who had walked in ancient prac- tices attained unto newness of hope, no longer observing sabbaths but fashioning their lives after the Lord's day, on which our...

    Did the early church teach that Christians should keep the Sabbath (i.e., Saturday)?

    Hello! This could be a "church fathers" thread, but since a similar one I did before was moved, I'll just post here. The following article claims that Theophilus (Patriarch of Antioch from 169 to 182) taught that Christians must keep the Sabbath: Theophilus of Antioch – 160-180s AD The main...

    The Sabbath: Universal law or Mosaic shadow?

    Must Christians cease from work on Saturdays?

    Hello! I hear some argue that the Sabbath is an eternal law, not part of the law of Moses. Also, from what I can tell, the Bible always refers to the Sabbath as the seventh day (i.e., Saturday). If the Sabbath is the seventh day and if we must keep the Sabbath even today, then we'd be required...

    Does Nehemiah 9:14 teach that the Sabbath was made known through Moses, not from the beginning?

    Hello! Some say that the Sabbath is an eternal law that was practiced by Adam and Eve and should still be practiced now under the New Testament. Others say that it was a temporal law that started with the time of Moses and ended under the New Testament with Christ. With this in mind, I'd like to...

    The easiest part of the Sabbath topic where scholarship on BOTH sides agree

    yes. And here is the "other" relevant text Ex 20 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. Clearly they are both pointing to the same reason that the...
