Greetings again TheThirdAngel144,

Rather it is the Gospel and all the teaching of Christ and the hope and love revealed in Christ that is written on the heart. Romans 7:7 shows the normal reaction to one of the negative commands of the 10 Commandments.
This is speaking of ceasing from sin now and the rest that we find in Christ Matthew 11:28-30 and the hope of the 1000 year rest when Jesus returns, a rest that Joshua did not achieve with Israel.
Yes, during the 1000 year reign on earth, (a teaching denied by SDAs as they teach the earth will be empty during the 1000 years,} there will be a restoration of the Sabbath.
Kind regards,
Trevor
Some people refer to Sunday as the Lord's Day.
A verse in Revelation is used as support for the argument.
Some people use one of the Psalms.
It may be Psalm 92.
Again, you are correct.

Obeying God's law, generally, was not a doubtful disputation. Unfortunately, since every wind of doctrine is blowing about in today's day and age, one might thing that the Sabbath is a "doubtful disputation." Obedience to God's law is not doubtful. It is a requirement, like keeping the Sabbath.
Besides, Romans 14 is talking about the ceremonial law anyways, not the 10 Holy Commandments, of which literally every single precept is still valid today.

This conversation is akin to someone trying to present facts in a court room, and you covering your ears and saying, "La-la-la, I can't hear you." If you refuse to watch the video, this conversation is pointless.
I don't make a habit of watching half hour videos for no reason. If you can give one or two of the main points in a short post, then maybe I'll watch it.
In any case- Sunday is not a rest day in Israel. That is a fact, and you are covering your ears on that one.
Most Christians don't know that nowhere in the Bible is there set any Sunday sacredness or the first day of the week made a day of worship. Here are the statements which show who the Protestant churches are following and its not the Bible:
"Protestants ... accept Sunday rather than Saturday as the day for public worship after the Catholic Church made the change... But the Protestant mind does not seem to realize that ... in observing Sunday, they are accepting the authority of the spokesman for the Church, the pope." Our Sunday Visitor, February 5th, 1950. This Rock
"All of us believe many things in regard to religion that we do not find in the Bible. For example, nowhere in the Bible do we find that Christ or the Apostles ordered that the Sabbath be changed from Saturday to Sunday. We have the commandment of God given to Moses to keep holy the Sabbath Day, that is the 7th day of the week, Saturday. Today most Christians keep Sunday because it has been revealed to us by the Church outside the Bible." The Catholic Virginian, "To Tell You The Truth,” Vol. 22, No. 49 (Oct. 3, 1947).
"... you may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify." The Faith of Our Fathers, by James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, 88th edition, page 89. Originally published in 1876, republished and Copyright 1980 by TAN Books and Publishers, Inc., pages 72-73.
'Deny the authority of the Church and you have no adequate or reasonable explanation or justification for the substitution of Sunday for Saturday in the Third - Protestant Fourth - Commandment of God... The Church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact.'' Catholic Record, September 1, 1923.
"But since Saturday, not Sunday, is specified in the Bible, isn't it curious that non-Catholics who profess to take their religion directly from the Bible and not the Church, observe Sunday instead of Saturday? Yes, of course, it is inconsistent; but this change was made about fifteen centuries before Protestantism was born, and by that time the custom was universally observed. They have continued the custom, even though it rests upon the authority of the Catholic Church and not upon an explicit text in the Bible. That observance remains as a reminder of the Mother Church from which the non-Catholic sects broke away - like a boy running away from home but still carrying in his pocket a picture of his mother or a lock of her hair." The Faith of Millions
"Perhaps the boldest thing, the most revolutionary change the Church ever did, happened in the first century. The holy day, the Sabbath, was changed from Saturday to Sunday. "The Day of the Lord" (dies Dominica) was chosen, not from any directions noted in the Scriptures, but from the Church's sense of its own power. The day of resurrection, the day of Pentecost, fifty days later, came on the first day of the week. So this would be the new Sabbath. People who think that the Scriptures should be the sole authority, should logically become 7th Day Adventists, and keep Saturday holy." Sentinel, Pastor's page, Saint Catherine Catholic Church, Algonac, Michigan, May 21, 1995
'If Protestants would follow the Bible, they would worship God on the Sabbath Day. In keeping the Sunday they are following a law of the Catholic Church.' Albert Smith, Chancellor of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, replying for the Cardinal, in a letter dated February 10, 1920.
'It is well to remind the Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists, and all other Christians, that the Bible does not support them anywhere in their observance of Sunday. Sunday is an institution of the Roman Catholic Church, and those who observe the day observe a commandment of the Catholic Church.'Priest Brady, in an address, reported in the Elizabeth, NJ News on March 18, 1903.

'Of course these .. quotations are exactly correct. The Catholic Church designated Sunday as the day for corporate worship and gets full credit or blame for the change.' This Rock,The Magazine of Catholic Apologetics and Evangelization, p.8, June 1997
'The observance of Sunday by the Protestants is homage they pay, in spite of themselves, to the authority of the [Catholic] Church.' Monsignor Louis Segur, (Plain Talk about the Protestantism of Today p. 213.)
