Four positions on the day of Christian worship ... In reality, what the Catholic church believes is that apostle Peter was the first pope (the first pope was in 606 AD not Peter) and that the very earliest Christians, in apostolic times "transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday", by the will of God. Officially Catholics have always taught that the universal practice of the earliest Christians was to meet every Sunday. Seventh-day Adventists actually misrepresent the official teaching of the Catholic church. Yes the Catholic church does ... Such churches will be hard pressed to justify their practice of worshipping on Sunday, while quoting the 4th commandment. "Six days you shall labour, but the seventh is the Sabbath." A simple kitchen calendar showing that Saturday is the "seventh" day of the week (just count them off) is the only evangelistic tool Sabbatarians need to convert these Christians to their Saturday keeping churches.

Cosmic Consciousness, Richard Maurice Bucke, 1901 AD ... No comparable innovations affected psychiatry. The therapeutic ethos at Bucke's asylum revolved around three types of activity: work, play and religion. The great majority of the patients contributed to the maintenance of the institution: the men worked on the farm, in the laundry or kitchen, and the women were engaged in sewing or helped in the kitchen and dining room.' Industrious, productive activity was seen as the cornerstone of treatment and reflected the Victorian concept of work as a ... But there came to me at that moment, upon that mere mention of the poet's name, how conveyed or whence I have not the least notion, a conviction, which never afterwards left me, that the man so named was a quite exceptional person, and that a knowledge of him and of his writings was of peculiar importance to me.8 In documenting the early stages of Bucke's discipleship, the letters between him and the Forman brothers are extremely useful. The first letter in which he mentions Whitman is written ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/psychiatry/cosmic-consciousness-richard-maurice-bucke-1901ad.htm

Part1: Pagan Section: Trinity Watchtower BOOKLET: Should You ... ... Yet notice what Henry Chadwick said in the same book as the Watchtower quotes next: "He was not baptized until he lay dying in 337, but this implies no doubt about his Christian belief. It was common at this time (and continued so until about A.D. 400) to postpone baptism to the end of one's life, especially if one's duty as an official included torture and execution of criminals. Part of the reason for postponement lay in the seriousness with which the responsibilities of baptism were taken." ... This is much too late after the first century for paganism to have had any influence on Christian doctrine. #3 Palmyra, there is no connection at all with Christianity. The only two that could possibly have had any influence are #1 and #2: Egypt and Babylon. Problem is that the both cultures had many more than just three Gods.

But here, too, you dare to distort the translation of this passage made by your elders at the court of Ptolemy, the Egyptian king, asserting that the real meaning of the Scriptures is not as they translated it, but ... According to Justin, this can only be true if an extraordinary, wondrous event is associated with this birth since giving birth represents nothing extraordinary for young women. Justin justifies the second portion of his charge of falsification (71:2) at his dialogue partner's insistence by giving the following four examples: First, he mentions 'Ezra's exegesis of the Passover law' which is found neither in the manuscripts of the books of Ezra nor in the apocrypha and which refers to Christ as ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/synagogues/Ancient-Synagogue-Archeological-Literary-Sources-Bible-Jesus-Israel-Judea-diaspora-first-century-oldest-pre70A-Justin-Martyr-patristic-apostolic-church-father-150ad.htm
