Mark 16:9

[Ariux]

The tradition of Sunday observance goes back to the first century. It's not some middle-ages invention.

 

[ecks_why]

... I then suggested that whenever the discussion of seventh day observance versus first day observance comes up, first day proponents usually use the idea of a first day resurrection to justify the change, and when questioned about the day of resurrection, quote Mark 16:9. The poster came back with: “Quote a published author who has done that.” - I have not yet been able to come up with one. Does anyone here know of one?

i don't but this reminded me of the 7th day adventists & of course some links

Development of Sabbatarianism
As the early Adventist movement consolidated, the question of the biblical day of rest and worship was raised. The foremost proponent of Sabbath-keeping among early Adventists was Joseph Bates. Bates was introduced to the Sabbath doctrine by a tract written by Millerite preacher Thomas M. Preble, who in turn had been influenced by Rachel Oakes Preston, a young Seventh Day Baptist. This message was gradually accepted and formed the topic of the first edition of the church publication The Present Truth (now the Adventist Review), which appeared in July 1849.

i'm guessing some poking around these links from google will yield plenty of authors who reference 7th day stuff...

re: "So can I safely presume that verses 1-8 in Mark 16 are not being disputed by you rstrats?"

I'm not disputing any verse in Mark 16.



Hopefully someone new looking in will know of an author.
