First let me say that ALL interpretation of Scripture is someone’s understanding. That is true whether you choose to follow the understanding of a person, an organized church or just your own. So I am never impressed when that arguement is used as there are as many “understandings” of Scripture as there are churches etc… I asked someone to explain where in the OT is says that the Sabbath must be a Saturday. Your reasoning by the SDA is almost laughable. They point to long standing practice and pattern to justify their “understanding” of when Sabbath must be observed. That sounds a lot like “tradition” and as my 13 yr old would say “That’s rich!” One of the fiercest complaints against the Church is the practices of tradition. The Lord’s Day being the same as the Saturday Sabbath is too easily disproved. Acts quite clearly states that on the first day, The Lord’s Day, the Apostles met, broke bread and gathered donations for the community. That sounds an awful like Mass to me. Also, that Paul preached on Saturday/Sabbath is not a consequential arguement since we know that the Apostles went to synagogue on Sabbath and there spoke of Jesus and the new covenant. Where else would they go to evangelize Jews but their temple? Can anyone answer my original question with a Biblical verse stating that the Sabbath is not just the day put aside for rest and worship but must be Saturday?
