You said; "I showed that the sabbath was not given for 2,000 years not until Israel came to Sinai."
Well you didn't show any such thing. What you did show, was Exodus 16 which 'proves' by scripture that the 'sabbath commandment' including "God's law" existed BEFORE Israel came to Mt Sinai. Well done. I think that is called 'shooting yourself in the foot'.
You also say; "Therefore I know that the sabbath was NOT holy from the first 7th day on."
HOW DO YOU CONCLUDE THIS IN LIGHT OF A SCRIPTURE THAT SAYS THIS;
Genesis 2:3 "And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made."
DOES 'SANCTIFY' MEAN 'HID' or 'IGNORED' or 'MADE COMMON'?
Then you said; "Israel did not exist for that 2,000 years. Therefore I know that the sabbath was not around BEFORE Israel was around."
Oh!?! What does 'ISRAEL' mean?
<H3>Genesis 32:28 "And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed."
It means to 'rule', 'prevail', 'have strength with' God. (So we see that 'Israel' DID EXIST BEFORE YOU SAID) and can of course be traced right back through Noah to Adam (who also kept the seventh day holy AND knew it was wrong to kill)
SO! this name was given to 'Jacob'.
And who is Jacob? Jacob is Isaac's seed.
And who is Isaac?
<H3>Genesis 17:19 "And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him."
EVERLASTING COVENANT?
Hebrews, chapter 13:20 "Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the EVERLASTING COVENANT,"
ISAAC IS ABRAHAM'S SEED WITH WHOM THE EVERLASTING COVENANT IS ESTABLISHED.
ROMANS 9:6 "Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For THEY ARE NOT ALL ISRAEL, WHICH ARE OF ISRAEL:
"7": Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
"8": That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but THE CHILDREN OF THE PROMISE ARE COUNTED FOR THE SEED."
As for the charge of 'idolatry', you would do well to look to yourself, who fits far better the characters described in Ezekiel 8:16, because, keeping sabbath in spirit and truth IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN A GUARD AGAINST IDOLATRY. (of which 'sun worship' is the most abominable form) Sabbath keeping reminds us that we are 'creatures', 'created beings' and this keeps us focussed on THE CREATOR of heaven and earth, the seas and the fountains of waters and every living thing.
HOW CAN THAT BE IDOLATRY???????
</H3></H3>As for Hebrews 2:8, it is clear that what is unfulfilled is "everything being put under His feet", but in the day described in ISAIAH66:23, "ALL FLESH" shall be under His feet. NO MISTAKING THE 'CONTEXT' THERE AT ALL.
