Sunday is blessed because the Lord rose on a Sunday. That by itself is sufficient to make it blessed and holy. After all, the Lord of Glory chose to come to our world, he lived, and died, and then to the amazement of all and for our salvation he rose from the dead.

The idea that the OT dietary laws were health laws is a load of hooey. They are and always were ceremonial. And since SDAs think that the ceremonial law came to an end it seems that this whole 'counsels on diet and health' thing is unreliable even from a SDA stance - except of course if you accept E G White's writings as having some special religious authority.
Do you defy God himself?! God spoke to Noah and Moses directly and told them what is clean and what is not, thousands of years ago, and those same animal are still not healthy beasts to eat. Of course all animals can get sick and be diseases including humans. But, look at a pig for example, it eats almost everything even feces, it has a short intestine, while a beef cattle has several stomachs and eat only grasses. God had a purpose for the various animals that He created, and some were not put there for mankind to eat. In fact, in the beginning Adam and Eve didn't eat beasts, they were given a vegetarian diet before they sinned. That is very telling of what God's original diet was to be. SDAs are only trying to do what is the most healthy and biblical things in our time in history. While Roman Catholics want us to stay in the dark ages when it comes to human health.
It is a "grave" subject to discussGod didn't tell Noah "Hey, these animals are healthy eating!" and he didn't tell Moses "These ones are good for your health but the others are disease ridden so avoid them". You are reading your theology into the bible instead of the other way round.
If you want to avoid pork for health reasons - spurious though those reasons may be - by all means do so, but do not be telling Christians that unless they avoid pork they are disobeying God because they are not.
I have read in the Bible that eating pork and shellfish is prohibited by God Himself. From God's own mouth he commands this. So why do so many Christians that I have known throughout my life so blatantly ignore God's command? I was not even aware of this before I became a Christian, but now that I know, I have gievn up pork and shellfish and have asked God to forgive me for my ignorance.
I ask this question to my fellow Christians: are you aware of this law and if so then why to you ignore it? I'd really like to know, because it upset me greatly to know that so many of brothers and sister defy God's law.
We've probably all heard the Wednesday crucifixion theory before because it was so widely popularised by Herbert W Armstrong and a few others but it is a theory unsupported by any good evidence. Besides, Jesus rose on the first day [of the week] and the first day is Sunday.When the women came to the tomb on the 1st day, before the sun had risen, he was already gone. I don't know that it is most correct to say that Yeshua (called Jesus) rose on "Sunday". I understand where the confusion lies though, with folks thinking that Yeshua was crucified on "Friday". The whole reckoning of time is off though. If a person is hanging their hat on "Sunday" being some how blessed because they think that that is the day that Yeshua was risen, what happens to that whole thought process and "Sunday" worship services, if it is easily shown that Yeshua rose on the Sabbath?
Just some thoughts and questions....

I often wonder how people would think Jesus rose on the Sabbath when wasn't it part of Sabbath keeping rules you were not allowed to work or even travel very far... a day of rest and people were wandering around graves it doesn't sound like something you would be doing on a Sabbath hanging around a graveyard.
None of those people saw Him rise from the dead . He rose on the Sabbath or Saturday evening . They didn't find out until Sunday morning .I often wonder how people would think Jesus rose on the Sabbath when wasn't it part of Sabbath keeping rules you were not allowed to work or even travel very far... a day of rest and people were wandering around graves it doesn't sound like something you would be doing on a Sabbath hanging around a graveyard.
