You were unable to prove to me by scripture a forceful argument to prove by whom or by what authority (certainly not Christs) this change was made.

Just a minute, Bob, I have a question for you in this regard. The Gospels report that Jesus observed the Sabbath, there are even several incidents where he is accused of violating Sabbath law (Jn. 9:16, Jn 7:23, Mk. 3:4). In various passages of Scripture, the Lord restates all of the decalogue except for one commandment. Which commandment did he not restate?

Sorry to cut in on this...I happen to have a little free time.

He was accused of violating JEWISH law. Jewish tradition. He never violated scriptural sabbath commandments.

He certainly restated the sabbath law and went further...he let the Jews of the day know that they had polluted it:

Mat 12:11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
Mat 12:12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

It's lawful to do well on the "sabbath days". In this statement Christ not only affirms the validity of the weekly sabbath, but also of the annual sabbaths, the Lord's holy days.

Jesus was accused of many things - wrongly. Mark 2:28 not only reinforces the Sabbath commandment but shows that Jesus understood more fully what it meant and its purpose. To bring up false accusations to prove a point only weakens your position.

In accordance with your "Now that you have a clearer understanding of papal infallibility, please cite as many examples as you choose of errors in teachings on a matter of faith or morals." I am ready to move on to these other teachings.
