You picked him as your authority for your assertion that the ECF were Sabbatarians. Now you gotta stick with him.

I picked the guy because he is the guy who started the switch. This document can mean nothing except "Quit keeping the Sabbath and move to Sunday". Why else would he write such a paper? Good grief, dude. He makes up Sabbath worship right here. It is plain. There is no scripture that says "Thou shalt keep the 8th day in honor of the new post mil. Heaven". It does not exist. The 62 quotes I pasted above say the same thing. Sunday is not Biblical - it is an invention of man.

Those 62 quotes are of no probative value. They are pull-quotes without citations. It is uncertain what their context is, or if the persons making those quotes have any comptetence in the field under discussion. It is an improper appeal to authority, and therefore a logical fallacy.

(Logic should be a mandatory class in high school.)

Says you..

There is no scripture that says "Thou shalt keep the 8th day in honor of the new post mil. Heaven"

You assume that the Scriptures are a how-to manual. They are not. They were epistles written to specific churches to deal with specific problems. They are not intended to constitute a systematic treatment of Christian doctrine and practice.

Sunday is not Biblical - it is an invention of man.

Yeah. That's why in 1Corinthians, Paul assumes that the Corinthians were already gathering on the first day of the week.
