That must've been some task, I nodded off less than ½way through as it was, the text hardly being anything I'd not seen 100 times before. And responded to.

Firstly, How do these Adventist heretics know that the Christian's first-day-of-the-week was not the former seventh-day-of-the-week? They would need to count the hours from Jesus' crucifixion to His resurrection AND show from which hour they started counting. Somewhere along the line we've moved from sunset to midnight as the click-over point but it could just as easily have been dawn if the Resurrection is used as a calendric marker. In any case a Church service commenced after sunset on the 7th day would be occurring on the 1st day of course, according to the Jewish calendar back then, but since that calendar is no longer in use the onus is on them to show the correlation since they're the ones making the claim.

Secondly, as I've posted numerous times before, according to the International Standard calendar, Sunday is the 7th day of the week. But do I ask why they meet on the 6th day? No. Because I am not an idiot. Here is an ISO calendar:

The last time I posted one of these, our heretic visitor pronounced an opinion "that I'd just looked up a Monday calendar on the internet" which is true except for the detail that I knew what I was requesting and that this is the international standard. And a "Monday calendar" is actually something else. But counting is not the strong suit here, is it. There is another point too, actually the 4th detail, concerning where you start your meeting. As the sun moves across the sky its light is strongest at different places at different times. Where do you start counting from? The very first sunset would need to be shown with a specific date to start counting from and that occurred on Creation Day 4.

Genesis 1:14-19 God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.….And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth.….And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

Alert readers will notice, however, that evenings and mornings were occurring well before the sun was available. They were there right from Creation Day 1.

Genesis 1:1-13 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.….and God said, Let there be light: and there was light.….and the evening and the morning were the first day.….And God made the firmament.….and the evening and the morning were the second day. And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.….And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind.….and the evening and the morning were the third day.

Creation Day 1 is where God started counting from as is manifestly self-evident from Genesis 2:2-3 so which day is now the 7th day? Pedantic heretics, especially those who claim that God was lying when He handed down Colossians 2:16, need to show their reasoning regarding all these points which are in addition to those I raised HERE but as yet they have not done so. Then there's the sun itself. According to the system proposed by Adventists, as the sun moves across the sky its light brightens the day at different times in different countries. Not wishing to ignore this detail I've also found a calendar from another region. Here it is:

You will notice that both of these follow the international standard. There are other standards, one of which is the Monday calendar that's used for determining week numbers & linked HERE. I look forward to all (or any) of these details being answered because if I'm mistaken I rely on those better informed to correct me. Remember to accommodate the fact that Day 1 commenced with an evening. But just making up a calendar with its 7th day falling on your preferred day doesn't cut the mustard I'm afraid.
