So then you admit you know nothing of the historical Christian arguments from Scripture given over the last 2 millennia?

No, I do not admit that. I would like to see the scriptures.....or Papal Bull that the Magisterium has used to pull the wool over the eyes of the people. The exact scripture they used must have been twisted so far out of shape to be barely recognizable. The Papal Bull.....well.....I suppose it was a Papal Bull.

The Sabbath is spoken of 126 times in the Old Testament, 62 times in the New. The first day of the week is mentioned eight times in scripture....not once in a sacred manner. The first day of the week is now the Catholic Sabbath. Go figure!

The Papacy had indeed fulfilled Daniel 7:25.

First of all, your error is in trying to equate the universal practice of the church from the 1st century onward whereby we rightly worship the triune God on the first day of the week rather than the last day (which was the custom of the Jews) as a "Catholic" doctrine. It is not.

Some of the most vocal anti-Romanists from the protestant magisterial reformers to modern day fundamentalists are all united in first day worship based on apostolic authority.

When you can get 99.9% of all Christians to agree on something, that is probably more than a accident.

The notion that "the Papacy had indeed fulfilled Daniel 7:25" is based mainly on a poor interpretation of Daniel 7 and of whom is it speaking, to whom it is applied, and when it is applied.

And it's a poor excuse for reading the NT practices as if there we merely rabbinic Judaism Part II.
