Sabbath has nothing to do with it.

Before 40 AD the Church observed what we know as Sunday as "the Lord's day." When was Constantine born?

You're a fool, and won't learn anything until you humble yourself before the Lord. And you can't possibly do that while being such a jerk to His people.

There are many others who were both more important and better.

You have no idea about any of this. It also sounds like you have absolutely 0 common sense.

Origen (185-254 CE) was the most prominent Christian theologian in his time.

GIGO.

The Roman empire became Christian through forced conversion

Absolutely false. You got that idea from The DaVinci Code, not history.

Here's a thought. The Gentiles were too pagan to understand who and what Jesus was

You have this exactly backwards. You fail at theology, too.

No it doesn't.

Thanks for playing though.

Congratulations on failing at reading comprehension. The Gospel of John indeed contrasts with the others, which are meant to be taken together.

When in doubt, go with John; more learning is required, but in the meantime ...

You get your information from bad science fiction, which is arguably worse than Wikipedia. Even a cursory reading of the Bible is enough to prove your central idea wrong:

Constantine declared Sunday the day of rest

Until you can prove your Church's claims

Not how this works.

Try kindergarten.

it is disappointing to find its scholarship rather weak and misguided

That only means you haven't found their scholarship.

Case in point:

While we can agree that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth (Jn. 16:13), the Orthodox believe that He works only in their lives

This is ignorance, plain and simple. You have learned exactly nothing, and have no business forming an opinion on the topic. Nothing else you might have to say is worth reading.

You don't have an honest bone in your body.

Objection: asked and answered. If you really wanted to know, you would have read through the Bible because it makes this abundantly clear. Therefore it's hard for me to accept the possibility that you might be sincerely asking a question.

Normally the ideal place to start reading if you want to consume the whole thing is with the Gospel of John. For this single issue, you could start with The Epistle to the Ephesians, and get to that both quickly and in context.

Afterwards, discussing it might become productive, not before.

We already know you can't read, no need to perpetually prove that same fact.

Not at all what he said. If, as others accuse, you are both the same account and you're merely trying to utilize a better approach this time, you're going about it the wrong way. If, as you assert, you're actually a different person, you're still going about it the wrong way.

I can't tell if you both share the same disregard for truth, but here you're being despicably dishonest.

Your words are consistently random, have connection to neither reality nor truth. Your habit of doing this colors everything else you say, such that it can safely be concluded to be absolute bullshit.

You're still exemplifying so's law. It's almost as if you're incapable of honesty. We used to have a member here, FishySwishy; I think you're him.

Correction: when an idiot like YOU misuses a term, you do so because you're leftarded.

Never will the left be allowed to control the language.

You're perverse, through and through. You have literally NO IDEA what the word "morality" even means. (Despite your username being one of the more moral actions of WWII)

Awfully thin definition there. Sounds like it's synonymous with anyone who disagrees with you.
