These divines say, From the beginning of the world to the resurrection of Christ, God appointed the seventh day of the week to be the weekly Sabbath, and the first day of the week ever since, to continue to the end of the world, which is the Christian Sabbath.
1. Luke (the writer of the Acts of the Apostles,) says, Acts 13:14 Paul and his company went into a synagogue of the Jews on the Sabbath day.
This was, according to our account, 45 AD, and twelve years after the resurrection of Christ. Luke says this was on the Sabbath day, then at this time.
But the divines say, “This was not on the Sabbath day at that time, but on Saturday, and that the seventh day was not then the Sabbath, neither had been for twelve years.”
Thus they contradict Luke as plainly and pointedly as can be.
2. Luke says, that… Acts 13:42,44 ...when the Jews had gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words [of the Gospel] might be preached to them the next Sabbath.
And the next Sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
This, Luke says, was on the Sabbath day at that time, twelve years after the resurrection.
But the Divines say that… “It was not on the Sabbath at that time, for Sunday had been the Sabbath for twelve years!"
