Maybe it's time for you to explain why the legalism of having services on Saturday is so critical when there is secular evidence that our brothers and sisters in Christ during Apostolic Era and the centuries immediately following did not do that.

You call it legalism when folks continue to honor God's appointed times [Leviticus 23:44] and Sabbaths....but when folks observe holidays and religious festivals invented by mankind.....that's simply O.K.? ......I got it!

Yeah.....who does He think He is, anyway? Asking us to observe all these legalistic Old Testament Feast Days and Sabbaths. After all.....He did tell us to not do it anymore, didn't He? Oh.....here it is....[I Papacy 1:11]. Read it aloud! "Do not honor God anymore by observing His Holy Days and Sabbaths. Instead honor the Church of Rome and all our Pomp and Tradition."

I knew I could find it.

Who is that? The Scientologists?

Easter Sunday, Sunday as the Lord's Day, Christmas...these are all creations of God, through His Church.

...who does He think He is, anyway?

Leader of the Catholic Church.

[I Papacy 1:11]. Read it aloud! "Do not honor God anymore by observing His Holy Days and Sabbaths. Instead honor the Church of Rome and all our Pomp and Tradition." I knew I could find it.
All this does is serve to mock Christ's Church, and you made it all up.

If we are going to criticize another church's practices, it should be factual. There is historical evidence that the practice in the Apostolic Era and the centuries immediately following was to meet on Sunday morning and then after work on Sunday evening.

The era of the big centralized church didn't begin until later.
