Believe in scripture about what with regard to Acts 15:20?

I still don't see how the Acts passage can be used as a defense against the Sabbath.

So why did you reference Acts 15:20 if it only included a few of the things required of Gentiles?

Well, the context has nothing to do with the Sabbath. The specific reason Paul wrote the chapter is summed up in verse 20: "Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food". The subject of the chapter from start to finish has to do with eating and not eating. Nothing is said about the Sabbath.

Good point. Just for the same reason that the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th, and 10th commandments weren't included.

What's your point with regard to that verse?

Hebrews 4:9 “The Holy Bible from the Ancient Eastern Text.” “It is therefore the duty of the people of God to keep the Sabbath.”

How do non Christians define sin?

But why that specific period of time?

According to Matthew 26:39, that might not be entirely true.

What translation are you using?

OK, no problem. Just wondering why you included the other question if you were only responding to the former one.

Of the responses given, that may very well be the reason, as WordWhisper'r also touched on. BTW, any particular reason for quoting my "I'm not sure what you're asking" question to Hidden In Him?

Accepted.

I never said that. I don't know where you're getting that. I never said that.

What are you saying no to? I never mentioned anything about the Sabbath. Where did I say anything about there being a special day?

Gordon's post and your link seem to be referring to calendar days when talking about the significance of the number 3. I think that a number of folks believe that any part of a calendar day could be counted as a day. Is that your position?

But why did it have to be three days and three nights? Was there something meaningful about that period of time?

No problem. Perhaps someone new looking in might have some idea.

But again, why 3 days and 3 nights? Why not 2 days and 2 nights? Was there something special/meaningful about the former?
