I was raised Catholic, but left because I don't believe any church has the authority to change the commandments. Why not just take my question at face value and assume I'm not out for a fight?

Why not just read post 28 and keep busy, FRiend?

Why not just take my question at face value and assume I'm not out for a fight?

(1)Because posting something in supersize font plus bold letters is the online equivalent of shouting at the top of your lungs.

(2) Because you provided a fraudulent quote as your leadoff argument.

At face value your "question" was a provocation.

Had your question been sincere it would probably have been written in words like:

"The Catholic Church holds it worship services on Sundays and calls that day the Lord's Day. What Scriptural reasoning is behind this practice?" And it would probably ahve been written in regular font and unaccompanied by faked quotes.

The tone of your fist post to this thread was very hostile.

Also your Thomas Enright quote comes from a book called History of the Sabbath. Your quote is part of an argument being made that the Pope is the Antichrist and 666 is attributed to his name.

Who decided that Gentiles don't have to keep kosher?

**I was raised Catholic, **

Then you probably still are Catholic.

Have you taken steps to go through all the paperwork to formally disavow yourself from the Catholic Church? I bet not........so you are probably still a Catholic.

(And you can come back anytime as long as you repent of your disbelief against the Catholic Church.)
