That's what is going on here. The author is trying leverage his own credibility into slamming your mind shut on all other notions. After all, if someone is a liar, it'd be morally hazardous to listen to him.

Excellent point. I have begun an exhaustive study of God's Sabbath rest and how Christ is in actuality that rest we look forward to. I will be doing an article on it and when I do, I will need you and others to be on board to help defeat the sabbatarians who are bent upon trashing Christ's fulfillment of the OT ceremonial laws.

You're going to have a tough time. The sabbath isn't a ceremonial law, but is a moral, eternal law because it was created holy in the beginning:

Gen 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Gen 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

If you're going to rely strictly on scripture you can only come away with the conclusion that the sabbath was never made "unholy". Jesus Christ, the Lord, never changed HIS sabbath. However if you want to make your case based on culture, history and human reasoning you'll have a much easier time.
