Incorrect. The Julian (Hebrew) calendar, the Sabbath would be a different day each year or so, not "Saturday" for instance. While it makes no difference to Jews in B.C. it makes a huge difference for a 7th Day Adventist today: He/she is simply incorrect: the day isn't 'Saturday.' They'd have to change it every year (impractical), or simply, randomly, assign a day, but not be legalistic about it. They literally cannot follow the O.T. directive.
It completely affects the week cycle. Read the link. Every few years, they 'reset' the calendar to keep up with the seasons. It means 'spirit' of the law vs. anything woodenly possible, even back then.
Hi Lon nice to see you again but no dear friend and nothing you have provided here supports your claims God's seventh day weekly Sabbath of God's 4th commandment being lost, but here is why. Even these changes in the calander does not effect the seven day weekly cycle. Take another look. When the Julian calender changed to the Gregorian calander in 1582 the days lost from the yearly calander did not effect the seven day weekly cycle. For example Thursday October 4 on the Julian calander was followed by Friday October 15 on the new Gregorian calander which keeps the continous weekly cycle in tact. Can you see your error here? It is the continous weekly cycle that identifies the Sabbath not a change in the yearly calander that does not disrupt the continous weekly cycle that identifies the "seventh day" of the week.
The U.S. Naval Observatory has also reported that there has never been any change in the continuity of the weekly cycle.
Hope this is helpful.
