Did the early church worship on Sabbath?

From one month to another and from one week to another on the Sabbath. Exo 20:10 Isa 66:23 Just like I try to go to church from one Sabbath to another (unless sick) but I do not go to church every day.
In Judaism, months are counted from Rosh Chodesh and weeks are counted from Shabbat...thus the context...

I prefer what God said- He said the seventh day is the Sabbath Exo 20:10 and no traditions or religion overrules His Authority.

If one takes issue with Sabbath worship now, they probably won't be so happy in heaven because Jesus said it continues. He loves us each so much He would never force us to worship Him, it always has to come by faith and love. Which is why the saints keep His commandments now- His version Rev 14:12 through faith and love which reconciles Rev 22:14

Then why would it change in Isa 66:23, it doesn't. :) Once God personally defines something, its best to leave it that way.
I didn't...I provided you the context and meaning of the passage. You went off into another tangent...

How is that adding to what is written...it IS tradition. How is that transgressing the commandment? Are synagogues commanded or are they customs and traditions? Yeshua went into a synagogue as was his custom/tradition.
If one's habit adds to or conflicts with the Word of God there is a problem. You said in respect to communion "actually, there IS a connection with Shabbat in Judaism" due to the tradition of bread and wine during the beginning of Sabbath.
When it is plainly understood through scripture that the connection is to Passover.
With that being understood your comment that there is actually a connection when it is not found or implied in the word of God is you saying and teaching as a thus saith the Lord in view of your tradition or that of another.

But you implied the Sabbath to Sabbath in Isaiah is not in reference to the Seventh Day and worshipping from one to another, month to month.

Bread and wine is a LONG held tradition of which you seem to want to ignore...during the marriage ceremony, Pesakh, etc...but I guess you didn't know that...I guess I am just wasting my time on you...why won't you answer my questions to you? Hmmm?

Says you. The writers of the LXX thought different.
Drive-by comment...οὕτως λέγει κύριος ὁ οὐρανός It is in the same context as what I said

Why don't you answer my questions to you? Hmmm? How do YOU keep Shabbat? Do you cook? Shabbat is a remembrance as most Moedim are in Judaism. You do know that the Lechem HaPanim were made for every Shabbat in the Temple?

Yet it does not justify what you said, that "actually, there IS a connection with Shabbat in Judaism" due to the tradition of bread and wine during the beginning of Sabbath.
Questions about what you and I do or don't has no bearing. I am not here for that. Never have been. We are not God. Our actions and thoughts don't dictate unless moved by and through Him.

No. you said month to month, week to week. That is not the same as month to month Sabbath to Sabbath.

By saying week to week, you took the Sabbath out of it.

To be fair, it looks to me like Isaiah 66:23 can be translated either way

Month / new moon
Week/sabbath

It also looks to me like to be consistent, if one goes with "month", then one should also go with "week" and vice versa

____

As a side note, since this often comes up
Many people assume a 28 day lunar cycle
But the number of days actually varies
The average is 29.5

In the Greek LXX it is translated month from month Sabbath from Sabbath.

That is the context of the conversation.

The Hebrew word for New moon was translated to the Greek word for month. The Sabbath translated the same. There are Greek words for week. They were not used.

You either don't read what I write or you don't understand it. I already explained it to you. Of course it has bearing...you get to question and judge others but you say what YOU do has no bearing. That is hypocritical.
