7th Day Sabbath not for New Testament believers

And he disagrees with me on the godhead, too, as well as with you. SO MY intention of posting again, was to show that my thought is not silly.

I understand why you quote commentaries, its the same reason I do. Nothing wrong with that. Although I don't know why you prefaced it with "Historicists agree" as if historicist eschatology has anything to do with seventh day Sabbath keeping?

It was because you came across as your view is clearly seen in that verse, yet those who agree with you about prophecy do not clearly see what you claim you do in other verses, to soften the blow and show you what you claim is clear is not clear to others. Nothing more than that.

Besides which, most historicists maintained the fourth commandment is still obligatory (although many of them transferred the obligation to the first day of the week).

I know your opinion concerning stocheion is shared by many scholars. Not all, though (on the other big Sabbath thread, I believe it was, I posted a link to a scholarly, grammatical analysis of the verse in question showing that MY view is not something I cooked up myself, although I think you said you did not read it).

I read it but I never went to a website to see the lengthy study, if memory serves.

The majority of scholars believe the Bible teaches a god squad, a great many believe it teaches paedobaptism, many believe it teaches the non-essentiality of baptism. And so on. So, the scholars are not above being corrected, nor are they above being united in error.

Agreed.
