Pope pushing Sunday as “day of rest”

Good video, it is good to see such well researched information. The presentation is correct on all points, since the pagans were already worshiping the sun “god” on sunday, they just slapped a “christian” label on it and kept doing what they were doing already.  It was also done to further paganize and separate christianity from its hebrew context. It is blasphemous for the Pope or anyone else to try and label sunday as the “day of rest”, clearly contrary to God’s identifying the Sabbath as the day of rest.

It is also true that the reformed (repackaged catholic) churches never discontinued most of the pagan traditions of the catholic church they were supposed to be breaking away from…  

Some of us even remember the “blue laws” that required some businesses to be closed on Sundays, other to have blue ribbon marking off hardware and liquor aisles to prohibit sale of certain items on Sundays.  Currently there are some businesses such as Chick-fil-et that are closed on Sunday.  

If they really wanted to be Biblical instead of “traditional”, they would be closed on Saturday.

That being said, while the video is correct on all points of fact, I do question some of the conclusions drawn.

Still not sure how a believer gathering or not gathering with other believers on one particular day or another is sinful or the “mark of the beast” in the way that Seventh Day Adventists believe.  

In the ceremonial law the instruction was to rest and keep the Sabbath holy (set apart) and it foreshadows Messiah and His Kingdom.  Note that there is not instruction that they were to meet as a group, just rest and keep it holy.  The gathering times prescribed were during the specific feast days and tabernacle/temple offerings.
Jesus fulfilled the Sabbath and is our Sabbath rest.  We are only given instruction to not forsake gathering together and to esteem every day as unto the Lord.
While there is nothing wrong with resting from sundown Friday evening until sundown Saturday evening, it is not to be done as a religious practice or condition for salvation any more than attending or not attending “church” on a particular day.
It is wrong for the Pope to insist that attending mass on Sunday is a condition for salvation, it is also wrong for Seventh Day Adventists to insist that a person must attend church on Saturday as a condition for salvation.
