You are attempting to reason with those who appear to embrace the heretical doctrines of Herbert W. Armstrong. (Check out The Armstrong Cult and it's many divisions on google).:D "Reason" will NOT work. :D

Thanks for the tip. I'll leave him to his law. I'll follow Christ.

The "law" is Christs law:

Christ said:

Mar 2:27 And He said to them, The sabbath came into being for man's sake, and not man for the sabbath's sake.
Mar 2:28 Therefore the Son of Man is also Lord of the sabbath.

Did Christ say the sabbath was CREATED for Jews, or Israelites? He said it was created for man, mankind. And of course it was, since it was established at the creation of the world...and that he is LORD of the sabbath. To me, following Christ means doing what he did and believed.

But I understand that you wish to follow your tradition in somethings... :-)

from www.watchman.org/cat95.htm#Armstrongism---- Armstrong, Garner Ted: Son of Herbert W. Armstrong who formed his own rival Armstrongism splinter group, the Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association. See Church of God, International. Armstrong, Herbert W.: See Armstrongism, Worldwide Church of God. Armstrongism: The doctrines and religious movement originating with Herbert W. Armstrong (1892-1986), who founded the Worldwide Church of God (WCG). Armstrong rejected such essential doctrines of evangelical Christianity as the Trinity, the full deity of Jesus Christ, and the personality of the Holy Spirit. Armstrong taught British Israelism and believed that worthy humans could eventually “become God as God is God.” Teaches salvation by works predicated on Sabbatarianism, tithing (20-30%), and keeping the Old Testament feast days and dietary laws. Under the leadership of Armstrong’s successors, Joseph W. Tkach and his son Joe Tkach, the WCG has undergone a radical doctrinal transformation. Scores of splinter groups, such as the *****Global Church of God and the *****United Church of God, continue to teach various forms of Armstrongism.
