To: Errant

you would do yourself well if you studied the NT and Church History, you would discover the following facts:

1. no baptized Christian ( Jew nor Gentile ) ever kept the 7th day sabbath after the first Pentecost.
2. no Christian was ever commanded to keep the 7th day sabbath in the NT.
3. we know from 1st and 2nd century documents ( the Didache, Justin Martyr, etc. ) the Church worshipped on the Lord’s Day, the first day of the week on which He rose from the dead, and did not keep the 7th day sabbath.
4. Constantine was a Roman Emperor and not the Bishop of Rome. As such, he had NO AUTHORITY over doctrinal matters.
5. Constantine’s 3/21 edict was a civil document and had NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH CHRISTIAN WORSHIP. THE CHURCH WAS ALREADY GATHERING ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK SINCE 33AD TO WORSHIP, HUNDREDS OF YEARS BEFORE CONSTANTINE WAS EVEN BORN.

just because rood is ignorant, there is no reason you need to be also.

.
That is ignorantly and totally false.

For the first two centuries, no Christian failed to keep the sabbath.

The sabbath is commanded at the creation, and never rescinded; it is merely a question of whether one wishes to obey the Lord, or go rogue. Sunday worship is totally pagan and instituted by the pagan emperor Constantine in the 4th century.

Sunday worship is a highway to the broad gate of destruction. Constantine had the full cooperation of the nicolaitans that ruled the “catholic’ disobedience in Rome.

rood is an ignorant man and i congratulate E-S and errant on declaring “no mas”

Your proclivity to bear false witness seems entwined with your devotion to pagan observances in the guise of godly worship. Logic and reason seem unable to penetrate that wall of falsehoods surrounding you.

Let's hope it is simply some kind of religious shock after years of following a man made doctrine instead of God's will, and given time and study and praying for wisdom, the fog will eventually lift.

Regards,
