Well, we have come to an impasse on this one, to be sure. We're just going to go around in circles from here on.

I must say, though, that I would have to categorize the whole thrust of your take here as a "novel interpretation" not shared by any historical group of Christians before the 19th Century. Certainly not by the early Church.

To convince me otherwise, you would need to explain the very early (directly and unambiguously stated before the end of the first Century) understanding of the entire Church - already delineated by me earlier in this thread, so I won't repeat it here - that the Lord's Day was Sunday, and it was understood definitively as the day of the week in which Jesus rose from the dead. Further, your take on the timeline as stated in the various Gospel accounts is far from air-tight. I have already stated my case on that, too, in part from the original Greek. That we talk past each other on this point demonstrates that the matter is certainly open to interpretation, at least in the sense that the mind of the Church is not considered. Were I you, I would do more to seriously consider the witness of the Church on this issue through the ages, rather than that of Ellen White, or any other Sabbatarian that you may be influenced by.

Ellen White, I believe, began the Seventh Day Adventist Church???? Never read anything about her...or by her...or care to.

I have enjoyed the sparring and look forward to another bout.
