It's just a great big straw man! What's wrong with gathering on Sunday?Likewise if you’re going to say Christians must not gather on Sundays to celebrate the Lord’s resurrection, And you didn’t write that rule, you better be able to point me to the rule you are admonishing me to follow.
The problem is you have no such rule that you can reference in scripture or otherwise.
Maybe it is your own rule that you made up all by yourself?
Force-demand same thing.Is it fair to demand answers to questions when you give none yourself? What about the force issue? When did I say Christ was not our Passover and Firstfruits? I was clear that only the last item (the Sabbath) was eisegesis. Why would I observe ceremonial laws? They are shadows that have their fulfillment in Christ. He is not the fulfillment of the other nine commandments, so why would He be the fulfillment of the 4th?
What's wrong with gathering on Sunday?
If you don't read my posts how can we communicate meaningfully? You're asking questions I've already answered.Force-demand same thing.
What do you mean "I give none myself?" I quoted scripture in support of what I said.
When Jesus said "come unto me and I will give you rest." He more than likely was speaking Hebrew. The Hebrew word for "rest" is "Shabbat." What greater Shabbat can we have other than Jesus?
I wonder how all former pagan gentile Christians in Rome, Corinth, Thessalonica, Galatia, Ephesus, Philippi, Colossae, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, Laodicea etc. would have known to observe the seventh day Sabbath?
There is no mention of it in the letters to them or instruction to observe the seventh day Sabbath. They didn't have a NT it was being written as they lived it and they did not have the OT.
And OBTW do you observe all the feasts and festivals listed in the OT?
Who said Seventh-day Adventists gather on Sundays on a regular basis? When we do, it's usually a work bee.Nothing. What time on Sundays are SDA worship gatherings usually?
No, not at all, really. We've covered that, haven't we?I think it would be beneficial, and Biblical, if the SDA's would simply do likewise.
They clearly don't. As I said they appear to reject such a complete, apostolic religious calendar.Who said Seventh-day Adventists gather on Sundays on a regular basis? .
No, not at all, really. We've covered that, haven't we?
What does Hebrews 10:26-31 mean to you?
Why all the hostility and smearing? I bear you no ill will.They clearly don't. As I said they appear to reject such a complete, apostolic religious calendar.
Well, we've certainly covered the fact that SDA's prefer a watered down religious calendar to that of the apostles.
This is taken from another thread where it would be off topic.
The Sabbath is a commandment of God.
Exodus 34:28 So he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread nor drank water. And He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.
Exodus 20
God did not leave it up to anyone else to write His holy laws. God personally spoke them and wrote them with His own finger and God's laws are universal, the only commandment people seem to take issue with is the one God told us to REMEMBER which is the one commandment people want to forget because they value tradition over God's spoken and written Word.
The Sabbath commandment is not off topic because Jesus told us to keep the commandments, teaching others the least of the commandments come with some consequences Matthew 5:19 and breaking a commandment is sin even in the New Testament 1 John 3:4, Romans 3:20, Romans 7:7. The Sabbath is meant to be a blessing and not sure why so many people take issue with God's holy day that He wants to spend time with us. Yes you can spend time with Him on other days but is your birthday more special to you on your birthday or a day that is more convenient for your loved one. It's a simple request that God asked not sure why more people don't embrace. God was specific about one tree and not obeying had a consequence for all of us. God is giving us a second chance- we should take it and obey.
We will have to agree to disagree.
God bless

Look at your own choice of words. Somehow the the knowledge that the Sinai covenant doesn't apply to gentiles, both of which Eisha and the Jerusalem council understood, translated into: "Gods' Word bear false witness against Gods' Word".And what would that be? You have only been provided God's Word. How then can Gods' Word bear false witness against Gods' Word? That does not make any sense now does it?
No, it's the Bible that's saying it.rather its the SDA's who say to the rest of us, "You're wrong for Worshiping on Sunday".
It's not fun. This is why we do it:its the SDA's who say to the rest of us, "You're wrong for Worshiping on Sunday".
Not for long, I'm afraid.We Catholics, Baptists, Presbyterians, Methodists, Orthodox, etc all Will CHAMPION your Choice for Saturday Worship.
No, it's the Bible that's saying it.
