Your post proves they're not reliable witnesses for your case.You quote Catholic sources - as if you never read them. Yet they make "the 7 point list" you are so at war against.

You dodged the question. In the NT is the term "Sabbath" a reference to "week day 1" or not?? This thread on the BCF claims it was bent to point to Week day 1 - by NT sources. (Staying on topic for a change )
Recall - the 7 point list of post 2 (in this case - the 7th point).
in Christ,
Bob
I pretty much agree with you except a Christian can hold and follow wrong theology.I have read Martin on Adventism from KotC, I disagree with his position in the book that one can be an Adventist and a Christian, because I believe as soon as you start to theologically, and properly downsize EGWs influence on Adventist theology you cease to be Adventist, unfortunately for Bob, he's smokescreening his reliance on EGW which is evident.
You call it a "rant," but you know good and well that your entire deceitful...<obligatory rant deleted here>
BobRyan said:Even in your own rant-style of posting you can't bring yourself to deny the point raised.
You yourself will admit that the term Sabbath used in the NT (and seen in Acts 13, 15, 17, 18...) refers to the seventh day of the week.
A point that does not fit with "The Change" language used in the BCF and WCF for the term "Sabbath" bent to apply to week-day-1 at the cross.
That is why you war against it -- in almost every post (and yet inexplicably) "as if" that helps ProgMonk's defense of the 4th commandment.
In the NT the Sabbath is a day and not a commandment.

I don't think I dodged anything. The word Sabbath isn't a commandment.

Catechism of the Catholic Church - The third commandment
[FONT="]BobRyan said:You quote Catholic sources? They sure do love those SEVEN points from post #2
Wonderful! Me too!
===========================================
2056 The word "Decalogue" means literally "ten words."11 God revealed these "ten words" to his people on the holy mountain. They were written "with the finger of God,"12 unlike the other commandments written by Moses.13 They are pre-eminently the words of God. They are handed on to us in the books of Exodus 14 and Deuteronomy.15 Beginning with the Old Testament, the sacred books refer to the "ten words,"16 but it is in the New Covenant in Jesus Christ that their full meaning will be revealed.
2072 Since they express man's fundamental duties towards God and towards his neighbor, the Ten Commandments reveal, in their primordial content, grave obligations.They are fundamentally immutable, and they oblige always and everywhere. No one can dispense from them. the Ten Commandments are engraved by God in the human heart.
2063.... the words of the Decalogue remain likewise for us Christians. Far from being abolished, they have received amplification and development from the fact of the coming of the Lord in the flesh.26
2068 The Council of Trent teaches that the Ten Commandments are obligatory for Christiansand that the justified man is still bound to keep them;28 The Second Vatican Council confirms: "The bishops, successors of the apostles, receive from the Lord . . . the mission of teaching all peoples, and of preaching the Gospel to every creature, so that all men may attain salvation through faith, Baptism and the observance of the Commandments."29
(Application in James 2)
2069 The Decalogue forms a coherent whole. Each "word" refers to each of the others and to all of them; they reciprocally condition one another. the two tables shed light on one another; they form an organic unity. To transgress one commandment is to infringe all the others.30 One cannot honor another person without blessing God his Creator. One cannot adore God without loving all men, his creatures. the Decalogue brings man's religious and social life into unity.
Dies Domini pt 13 -
"the Sabbath ...is therefore rooted in the depths of God's plan. This is why unlike many other laws - it is not within the context of strictly cultic (Jewish) stipulations but within the Decalogue the "ten words" which represent the very pillars of moral life inscribed on the human heart!! In setting this commandment within the context of the basic structure of ethics, Israel and then the church declare that they consider it not just a matter of community religious discipline but a defining and indelible expression of our relationship to God, announced and expounded by biblical revelations.
The two views state their positions as “The Catholic church fully endorses the Sabbath commandment as edited by the Catholic Church" vs "the Catholic church fully endorsed the Sabbath commandment as worded by God at Sinai"
.
The Faith Explained (an RC commentary on the Baltimore catechism post Vatican ii) states on Page 242 that
====================begin short summary
changing the Lord's day to Sunday was in the power of the church since "in the gospels ..Jesus confers upon his church the power to make laws in his name".
page 243
"Nothing is said in the bible about the change of the Lord's day From Saturday to Sunday. We know of the change only from the tradition of the Church - a fact handed down to us...that is why we find so illogical the attitude of many Non-Catholics, who say that they will believe nothing unless they can find it in the bible and Yet will continue to keep Sunday as the Lord's day on the say-so of the Catholic church"
====================================== begin expanded quote
. (from "The Faith Explained" page 243.))
"we know that in the O.T it was the seventh day of the week - the Sabbath day - which was observed as the Lord's day. that was the law as God gave it...'remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.. the early Christian church determined as the Lord's day the first day of the week. That the church had the right to make such a law is evident...
The reason for changing the Lord's day from Saturday to Sunday lies in the fact that to the Christian church the first day of the week had been made double holy...

Your post proves they're not reliable witnesses for your case.
I read the quotes to say the 1st day of the week is the Christian Sabbath.
You keep a distance from the BCF document trying to avoid the fact that it speaks of the TEN Commandments in section 19 -- ALL TEN - with the Sabbath starting in Gen 2:3 according to section 19.
And in Section 22 it is the Sabbath that is "changed" to point to "week day 1".
But in the NT there is NOT ONE case of the "Sabbath" meaning "week day 1" - as can be seen in Acts 13 Acts 17, Acts 18 and numerous other examples.
in Christ,
Bob
Of course your propensity for creating Strawmen is truly astounding, the question is whether the Lord's Day is "week day 1" and whether it functions for the Christian as the Sabbath.
The OP said Christian Sabbath. I addressed this with my comment showing your disagreement and why. As such I'm on topic. The Christian Sabbath has been shown to Sunday via your sources.Hint - Section 19 of the BCF - and this thread is about the BCF -- see the OP.
The "Change language" that is used in the BCF is specifically targeting the 4th Commandments.
You are trying to spin this every way you can by keeping a certain distance from the facts of the discussion.
It is an odd sorta game - but it does little to contribute to the discussion.
in Christ,
Bob
You can make your religious sources say anything you wish. I contend you don't understand what they're saying. You simple lift words from them leaving no context. This is bearing false witness.You keep a distance from the BCF document trying to avoid the fact that it speaks of the TEN Commandments in section 19 -- ALL TEN - with the Sabbath starting in Gen 2:3 according to section 19.
And in Section 22 it is the Sabbath that is "changed" to point to "week day 1".
But in the NT there is NOT ONE case of the "Sabbath" meaning "week day 1" - as can be seen in Acts 13 Acts 17, Acts 18 and numerous other examples.

The OP said Christian Sabbath..
So as to not derail my Confessional thread, this will be a thread to talk about the nature of the Christian Sabbath as it is derived from Scripture and espoused in the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith.From the beginning of the world to the resurrection of Christ this was the last day of the week, and from the resurrection of Christ it was changed to the first day of the week and called the Lords Day. This is to be continued until the end of the world as the Christian Sabbath, the observation of the last day of the week having been abolished. (2LBCF 22.7)
You are almost there. You need to look at every single statement an Adventist makes, and just close your eyes and try to imagine the maximum number of lies that could be contained therein. Once you have attained what you think is an outrageous number of potential lies, double for triple that for a realistic grand total.
Sanctuary is pretty abominable, how can anyone stand before the judgment seat of Christ without Christ's intercession? Surely it is none, none is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.
Yet Ellen in all her wisdom says that her flock will be able to stand without Christ, oh the holding up for contempt and trampling underfoot the sacrifice of the Son of God.
Of course you know the boundaries defined for the Investigative Judgment directly from the Great Controversy:Sanctuary is pretty abominable, how can anyone stand before the judgment seat of Christ without Christ's intercession? Surely it is none, none is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.
Yet Ellen in all her wisdom says that her flock will be able to stand without Christ, oh the holding up for contempt and trampling underfoot the sacrifice of the Son of God.
Dr. Raymond Cottrell said:Some of the concepts associated with the investigative judgment are, indeed, biblical, but the Bible itself nowhere associates them with an investigative judgment, for which there is no sola Scriptura basis whatever.
The [sanctuary] doctrine is, to me, the most colossal, psychological, face-saving phenomenon in religious history. ... We personally do not believe that there is even a suspicion of a verse in Scripture to sustain such a peculiar position, and we further believe that any effort to establish it is stale, flat, and unprofitable. ... [It is] unimportant and almost naïve.
You can make your religious sources say anything you wish. I contend you don't understand what they're saying.
No, that's not what the argument is, the argument is The Lord's Day is the first day of the week .
BobRyan said:In section 22 of the BCF the argument is that the STill binding FOURTH commandment is "Changed" to point to week-day 1 (presumably by NT authors if the doctrine is to survive sola scriptura testing).
As we already saw with [FONT="]post #152
[/FONT]He has particularly appointed one day in seven for a Sabbath to be kept holy for Him. From the beginning of the world to the resurrection of Christ this was the last day of the week ("the seventh day is the Sabbath" Ex 20:11), and from the resurrection of Christ it (the 4th commandment - weekly Sabbath) was changed to the first day of the week
The Sabbath is kept holy to the Lord by those who, after the necessary preparation of their hearts and prior arranging of their common affairs, observe all day a holy rest from their own works
(Or did you also want to claim that the "Lord's Day was CHANGED" to week-day-1 ?? not just the 4th Commandment)
Yet Ellen in all her wisdom says that her flock will be able to stand ...
Of course you know the boundaries defined for the Investigative Judgment directly from the Great Controversy:
They don't expect to stand before God. They want to be judged by the old covenant that concludes everyone "guilty before God", with no exceptions. Their mythology isn't even survivable.
- Convened only after 1844, 'it is...in 1844...to perform the work of investigative judgment'
- Addresses only the 'professed people of God', and is not a general judgment
- Convened in absentia of the accused, 'they will not be present in person'
- The accused are judged according to the old covenant, 'The law of God is the standard'
- Adventist soteriology is dependent on this alleged judgment, 'their names will be blotted out of the book of life'
For Adventists..... More accurately, it is just astonishingly toxic and vile... < obligatory unchristian rant deleted here to spare the readers>
You've seen the testimony of the Law itself, and have shown you rely on uninspired extra-Biblical sources to form an argument that is essentially a straw man. That's waging war on God's Law.BCF - Sabbath in Eden -
