Sorry, but I answered your question. I know of no author. It is good to know that the Creation was on the current days of the week. Also good to know that some folk think Jesus sinless.It is also good to know that Monday has always been the first day of the week, and Sunday the last day. I will try to forward that information to all the silly calendar makers that allow people to choose what the first day of the week was.
Anyway. this was my last post in this thread.
I know of no author for you.
I know of no reason anyone would even care.
I see no reason to connect the content of Mark 16:9 to what day should be celebrated.
I really don't care whether someone celebrates on the first or seventh day.
The Sabbath that the Messiah honored was the Sabbath that his fellow countrymen used. They had honored it for centuries. If He had been honoring it on the incorrect day, then He would have been in violation of the Commandment and therefore not sinless.
The question of what day is the Sabbath or that there might be an incorrect day is really pretty silly.
The day that Jesus celebrated the sabbath has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with when someone else celebrates the Sabbath.
The commandment says to keep the Sabbath Holy. It does not say that it is necessary for everybody to call the same day Sabbath.
AbE:
In addition, the whole idea of a fixed calendar was not in effect through most of the period of the old testament. Different towns and villages worked on different calendars with the local Sanhedrin inserting months as he deemed needed to keep the holidays in the proper season.
