modern Gentile Protestant Christian understanding, the seventh
day Sabbath was "done away" by Christ himself, as far as an
observance for NT believers is concerned. In fact this has been
the official stance of the major segments of the church for
about 1600 years -- at least since the period of the sun
worshiping Roman emperor, Constantine. There are, however, a
growing number of Christian theologians and academics who are
honest enough to publicly recognise that neither Yeshua nor his
apostles ever abrogated the Sabbath, and that the early "Jewish-
Christian Church" (really, Messianic Community) continued to
observe it as God's holy day and as an integral part of the
Decalogue (the Ten Commandments). Indeed, historical secular
records plainly show that the Sabbath was observed by Gentiles
in both the Irish-Celtic, the Scottish and the Abyssinian
churches, to name only three, centuries aft
