That certainly would have been news to Luke, who wrote about keeping the Sabbath commandment even 30 years after the death of Christ, EVEN DURING NEW TESTAMENT TIMES.

Here Luke is relating events as they took place at the time of the Resurrection of Jesus. He is not endorsing Christians keeping the Hebrew Sabbath in the future.

Yes, he sure is. But, he’s also making the point that the 7th-day-Sabbath is in full effect, even 30 years after the cross. If the Sabbath had been abolished or in any way changed, at the moment the New Covenant was RATIFIED, he wouldn’t have mentioned it. Everything Ceremonial, Shadows, Types, Rituals, etc... ended the second Christ died. Luke is CLEARLY making the point that the Sabbath, and rest of the 10 commandment law, wasn’t part of that. In fact, the original 10 commandment law IS THE FOUNDATION of the New Covenant.

It seems that no matter how many times the sophistry of 7th day cultist is exposed, they keep on parroting their polemics as this. Based upon the reasoning that believers acting as Jews under the Old Covenant, even before the resurrection of Christ meant that what they literally observed was for all subsequent believers, then circumcision (an everlasting command of covenant) as well as all purity laws are also to be kept. All 9 of the 10 commandments are reiterated for Christian, except for one.

Bible:

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)\ SDA:

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither sabbath-breakers, fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (1 EGW 6:9-10)
