[Philsworld]

Does the APOSTLE Luke advocate for Sunday-keeping here, some 30 years after Christ’s death?

Luke 23:55The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed. 56Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.

Does Luke say “according to the OLD commandment, which no longer applies, because we all now keep Sunday in remembrance of the resurrection” ???

Nope.

[Cronos]

Phil, Prince of Dim Light, your Adventist jab at Luke 23:55-56, sneering that it proves Sunday-keeping lacks apostolic support, is a weak twist of Scripture to prop up Ellen G. White’s Sabbath obsession..

Regarding Like 23

• Luke 23:55-56 Context: You cite Luke 23:55-56, where women rested on the Sabbath after preparing spices, to argue Luke advocates seventh-day observance 30 years post-Crucifixion (c. 63 AD). This reflects Jewish custom under the Mosaic Law (Exodus 20:8-10), still binding on Jews like the women, who were followers but not yet fully part of the Christian community. It’s a historical note, not a mandate for Christians.
• No Sunday Command Needed: You demand Luke say the Sabbath “no longer applies” or endorse Sunday. Absurd. The New Testament shows early Christians worshipping on Sunday, the Lord’s Day, to honor Christ’s resurrection (Acts 20:7: “On the first day… we came together to break bread”; 1 Corinthians 16:2). Luke 24:1 notes the women visited the tomb “on the first day,” implying a shift. No explicit “old commandment gone” statement is required—apostolic practice, guided by the Church’s authority (Matthew 16:18-19), suffices (CCC 2174-2176).
• Sabbath Fulfillment: Christ fulfilled the Law (Matthew 5:17), making the Sabbath a “shadow” of Him (Colossians 2:16-17). Hebrews 4:9-11 names Christ our rest, fulfilled in Sunday worship. Your demand for a negative command ignores this positive fulfillment, rooted in the resurrection (Mark 16:9).
• Adventist Bias: Your argument echoes White’s *The Great Controversy* (p. 605-612), claiming Sunday is a papal invention. No New Testament verse mandates Saturday for Christians (Romans 14:5-6, Acts 15:28-29)—your Sabbath dogma is White’s 19th-century fiction.

Adventism’s Satanic Evils

Error	Details	Refutation
False Prophecies	White’s 1856, 1844, 1845 flops.	Deuteronomy 18:22
Investigative Judgment	Denies atonement (*The Great Controversy*, p. 421-422).	Hebrews 9:12
Sabbath Idolatry	Salvific Sabbath unsupported.	Colossians 2:16-17

Phil, your Luke 23:56 ploy is shredded—it’s a Jewish custom, not a Christian mandate. Sunday worship is apostolic (Acts 20:7), fulfilling the Sabbath (Hebrews 4:9-11), not a papal change. Adventism’s evils—White’s false prophecies, heretical judgment, and Sabbath idolatry—mark it as satanic. Produce one New Testament verse mandating Saturday worship. You can’t. Repent, ditch White’s trash, and flee to Christ’s Church (Ephesians 2:8-9). Have a day of truth.
