Re: Why Roman Catholic Papists Are NOT Christians -

I am sick and tired of explaining that Sunday is “the Sabbath” and the last day of the week - the Bible proves it.
Ge:1:31: And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Ge:2:1: Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Ge:2:2: And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Ge:2:3: And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
The Sabbath is first mentioned by Moses in Exodus
Ex:16:23: And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
Ex:16:25: And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.
Ex:16:26: Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
We know from the original work “Annalium pars posterior”, published in 1654 by Archbishop Ussher who, in his own words established the time and date of the final act of creation as
"the entrance of the night preceding the 23rd day of October... the year before Christ 4004";
that is, The Lord finished around 6 pm on Saturday 22 October 4004 BC according to the proleptic Julian calendar.
As 23nd of October 4004BC was a Sunday, then it follows, as sinner will follow the path of unrighteousness, that Sunday is the Sabbath and anything else is an abominable heresy in the Eyes of The Lord. The Jews have gotten it all wrong, but as they are Damned for other reasons, this is a minor matter.
The only point possible for discussion is whether sundown starts a new day or whether the day starts at midnight.
The Bible says in Mark 15:25 crucifixion takes place at the third hour (9 a.m.) and Jesus' death at the ninth hour (3 p.m.). However, in John 19:14 Jesus is still before Pilate at the sixth hour.
The indication here is that the Sabbath starts at sundown - however, please note that John appears to be 9 hours behind Mark. This is simply because the Romans started their day at midnight.
Do we follow the Romans, or do we follow the Jews?
Nobody follows the Jews - the Romans eventually accepted Chirst - you have your answer!
