a great way to keep the sabbath as was their custom...
Every day - 7 days a week? So how is that keeping the Sabbath?
You are really not to be trusted in these conversations.
This is what you said:
"Because they would not be equipped to flee. And apparently, you can be assured they were praying when the Romans surrounded the city and set it on fire, and then they all died anyway."
In reference to Jesus instructing followers to pray that the Sabbath would not be broken by fleeing the future tribulations...that were to come after He returned to heaven.
The temple still existed and the Sabbath was being kept after His return to heaven even...that answers whether or not Jesus expected Sabbath keeping to continue...
and the Sabbath was held beyond one city the Romans lay siege to...they all didn't live in one city
The Romans took over the entire land. Jerusalem was the last seige. Don't you read history?
Story: Constantine to make official worship on Sunday, ridiculed the joos for their attempts to keep the festivals, often times having to do them twice a year because they without the temple would loose count of their festival appointments. Various members would travel around the regions and would update and correct themselves their timing...well Constantine had enough of waiting for them to figure it out each year. He wanted to celebrate his pagan Easter so he just simply fixed it to the solstice and was done with it...
That is a complete myth. How sad that you resort to such dribble at this point of the discussion. PLEASE STOP SAYING "JOOS". It is disrespectful and quite honestly, with you pushing to keep a Jewish Sabbath, it makes you look ridiculous.
Would you believe that Sabbath keeping continued even by the early church up to the time of Constantine's desire to make Sunday official? And beyond...
NO, it did not. There is ZERO evidence of that. Christianity, including Jewish believers gathered on Sunday long before Constantine.
“We bless the Maker of all through His Son Jesus Christ, and through the Holy Ghost. And on the day called Sunday, all who live in cities or in the country gather together to one place, and the memoirs of the apostles or the writings of the prophets are read, as long as time permit” (Justin Martyr, Apol. 67, A.D. 110–165)
"Wherefore, also, we keep the eighth day with joyfulness, the day also on which Jesus rose again from the dead” (Epistle of Barnabas 15, A.D. 100)
"for to the heathens each festive day occurs but once annually: you have a festive day every eighth day" (Tertullian, On Idolatry, A.D. 145–220)
He is Lord of the Sabbath He can't be both.
Is He your Lord and Savior? Does He live in you? Are you in Him? Do you live and breathe because of Him? Is He the Bishop and Savior of your soul? Is the peace of Christ in you? Do you believe Jesus when He said rest was in Him?
One can't be Lord of London and the city of London...or Lord of the Rings and the Rings...or lord of the flies and be the flies...you really have a hard time with metaphors don't you...
None of that has anything to do with the Lord Jesus Christ being our Sabbath rest. Your arguments are getting weaker and weaker and now are making no sense at all.
It was exemplified by the believers and Paul said don't let any man judge you in keeping it...for keeping it...but only the church
Paul said not to judge because we are all part of the body of Christ now, and it's not about keeping a day or a feast any longer. If you want to keep the Sabbath or even go to church on whatever day you choose, they that day is made unto the Lord for you. If you choose not to call a certain day as to the Lord but live each day in Him as Lord of every day - that is up to you. But to mock and deride the Jewish people so you can have your Sabbath rest like it's the only way which is correct, you are sadly mistaken.
Besides just as with good kids...once is enough for those desiring to be obedient...
Once is enough? Where do you get that from?
