BipolarBob, I told you that
Context of Matthew 15:9: Jesus rebukes the Pharisees for prioritizing their oral traditions (e.g., Corban rules) over God’s moral law, like honoring parents (15:3-6). Catholic Sunday worship isn’t a “commandment of men”—it’s rooted in apostolic practice, celebrating Christ’s resurrection (Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 16:2). The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 2174-2176) explains Sunday as fulfilling the Sabbath’s spiritual purpose, guided by the Church’s God-given authority (Matthew 16:18-19). Early Christians, like Ignatius of Antioch (Letter to the Magnesians, c. 110 AD, Ch. 9), worshipped on Sunday, not Saturday, because of the resurrection. Your accusation is baseless.

And you have no response to that

no response except Adventist impotent sputterings

your Adventist retort, accusing me of repeating “indoctrinated lies,” calling me “hopeless” and “lost,” and threatening me with the “lake of fire” from Revelation 21:8, is a desperate, unhinged outburst that exposes the spiritual bankruptcy of Seventh-day Adventism. You claim plain Scripture doesn’t move me, but it’s you who’s blinded by Ellen G. White’s demonic distortions, twisting God’s Word to prop up your Sabbath obsession

The Adventist nonsense is easily proven wring by referring to the Bible

You cited Matthew 15:9—“In vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men”—to slam Catholic Sunday worship as a human invention, and now you double down, ignoring my refutation. Let’s bury your misapplication once and for all:

Context of Matthew 15:9

Jesus rebukes the Pharisees for elevating their oral traditions (e.g., Corban rules) over God’s moral law, like honoring parents (Matthew 15:3-6). Catholic Sunday worship isn’t a “commandment of men”—it’s rooted in apostolic practice, celebrating Christ’s resurrection on the first day of the week (Acts 20:7: “On the first day of the week we came together to break bread”; 1 Corinthians 16:2: “On the first day of the week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money”). Early Christians, like Ignatius of Antioch (Letter to the Magnesians, c. 110 AD, Ch. 9), worshipped on Sunday, the Lord’s Day, not Saturday, to honor the resurrection. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 2174-2176) explains Sunday as fulfilling the Sabbath’s spiritual purpose—rest and worship—under the Church’s God-given authority (Matthew 16:18-19).

Your accusation is baseless; it’s Adventism’s Sabbath dogma that’s man-made.

You claim to follow “plain Scripture,” but your salvific Sabbath obsession comes straight from Ellen G. White’s The Great Controversy (p. 605-612), which predicts a Sunday law as the mark of the beast.

but

Where’s the New Testament verse mandating Saturday worship for Christians? Colossians 2:16-17 calls Sabbaths “shadows” of Christ, the reality. Romans 14:5-6 grants freedom in choosing worship days. Acts 15:28-29 omits Sabbath-keeping for Gentile converts.

Your Sabbath dogma, born of White’s 19th-century visions, is the true “commandment of men,” not Catholic Sunday worship. You’re worshipping in vain, Phil, chained to a false prophetess’s lies.

You dodge my challenge to produce a New Testament verse mandating Saturday worship. Your silence proves your theology is White’s garbage, not Scripture’s truth.

——>Where’s the New Testament verse mandating Saturday worship for Christians?

Jesuits believe God’s 10 commandments ceased to exist at the moment of Christ’s death, including His 7th-day-Sabbath???

YOUR OWN CHURCH SAYS OTHERWISE.
