Also, where was a requirement for a belief in a supreme being mentioned?

Are you suggesting that if someone doesn't keep them that the commandments have been abolished?

Yes, scripture does say that.

I have no conviction one way or the other. However, I see no scripture which unequivocally says that the Sabbath is not to be kept.

To what false gospels are you referring?

I'm not doing that. Where have I said anything about a false gospel?

Maybe someone new looking in may know of examples.

I don't see the connection between that and "how a Christian who is in the New Covenant, 'keeps the Sabbath' today."

What do you mean by "in the New Covenant"?

I have no idea what you are trying to say with regard to starting a new topic with regard to your off topic comment and link.

And the keeping of the seventh day of the week Sabbath is one of them.

Then in this particular case, a new topic should be started with the title - "Was Jesus in the tomb for three days and three nights?"

No one that I know. But I'm trying to figure out what that has to do with my comment that you quoted.

And if they do, they will find that it has nothing to do with this topic.

Correct, on a first day of the week. So, to be consistent you would have to say, " which is also an eighth day of the week", which of course is impossible when dealing with seven-day weeks.

Good to see that you agree that the 7 must be referring to the third day after the burial in order to conform with the other 5. BTW, I'd still like to know what point I'm missing with regards to the issue.

re: "You entirely miss the point..." And what might that point be? re: "Your fixation on insistence (as always) that all other (around 15) scriptures be interpreted by a literal rendering of this one..." There are 5 verses which say or imply that 3 nights would be involved, i.e., Matthew...

I didn't say it did.

OK, it's been discussed how a lack of the third night of the Messiah's prophesy can be explained. Perhaps now, someone might explain how an actual third night could have occurred.

Was He in the "heart of the earth" during those three hours?
