Actually, I'm asking for your explanation of why the Sabbath was changed
from the 7th day of the week to the first and the fifth.

(That is your
claim after all.

from the 7th day of the week to the first and the fifth. (That is your
claim after all. One assumes you've got something a little more
formidable than "because I say so" to back it up.) Naturally, if you can
cite Bible verse, you'll get extra points. I've heard that God is
supposed to be a tripartite deity, but never realized He also fostered
the tripartite "day-ity." Surely there is some historic explanation. The
faithful didn't just suddenly get hedonistic and decide to change things
"just for the Hell of it," did they?

No, it didn't, since your claim makes no sense at all. The Earth is a
spinning sphere. There is no "left" or "right".

Hmm... Given your track record, you'll naturally pardon my asking you
to cite which verse you had in mind.

The first doesn't exist hence ------

Ah, weaseling, eh? Let's see... Exodus 16:22-23 & 29, 8:10, 31:15, 35:2;
Leviticus 23:3; Deuteronomy 5:13-14. Those should do as citations of the
day's existence. And it always falls at the end of the week, how odd.

Can you state which moon and the relation to the Nile flooding after
which adjustment for constellation position was the first "Sabbath"
celebrated after Moses came down from the mountain?

So far as is known, there is only one moon orbiting planet earth.

Can't identify day one huh?

You wanted to know which moon. I answered. Deal.

(What the Nile and the constellations have to do with things is
anybody's guess. Days are defined by neither.)

As for which day... Well, if you must know, it was on the seventh day of
that week. (Unless you refer to one of the Holy Days, which are also
referred to as being "sabbaths" -- or "days of rest." They are
considered their own entities, and do not impinge upon the sabbath in
question.)

What physical thing happened that made the sun stand still? There
is an explanation geographically or "astronomically" recorded.

Hmm. "Physical," eh? Well now, *that* should make for an interesting
explanation. By all means: Tell.

The above means that you don't believe the sun stood still.

Ah, you claim a physical cause, and then weasel on it. Surprise, surprise.

By the by, your cosmological knowledge is a bit weak. If the sun were to
appear to stand still, it would be the earth that stopped.

The sun is
ever in motion. It travels from other galaxies, as it resides within
this one. It travels with this galaxy as said galaxy spins. It moves
through the spiral arm in which it resides in accordance with the
gravitational forces thereof. It wobbles in its course as it is affected
by the planets. It spins on its own axis. And even if it were not to do
all that -- simultaneously no less -- it would still be in motion via
prominences, sun spots, and the ever-changing expansion and contraction
of its various layers. If the sun were to stop, things would get rather
dark. (Well, after 8 minutes or so.)

To the observer, it did.

I've observed that time seems to move slower during meetings. It also
seems to move faster while I ride the roller coasters at Cedar Point.
(And technically -- at least on the roller coasters -- it does if you
count out far enough to the right of the decimal point.) To "observe"
that the sun stands still, typically involves a blow to the head, not a
"miraculous" intervention by a deity concerned that His followers might
end up poking one another if night were to fall. (Not that such a being
should be overly concerned about such things; He could just make them
more effective fighters, or simply smite the enemy.)

And where's the "observer"? Why, on a battlefield! But no, he'd never
get his clock cleaned by the enemy. Oh, my no! That would reduce the
"miracle" to a mere terrestrial thing.

There are probably many other things that you deny.

Unicorns, leprechauns, Santa, Nessie, cold fusion, zero-point energy...
Hmm, it seems that even you can be right once in a while. Fascinating.

What happened the day the earth tipped from 23 degrees left to 23
degrees right? It happened at least once.

If an asteroid explodes over Tunguska and no one sees it, do the falling
trees still kill a squirrel?

(Do you really expect one to take you seriously if you ask questions
which answer themselves?)

How long was a day before the sun and moon were placed in the heavens?

Which is the sound of one hand clapping? <Plays "Sound Clip A" and
"Sound Clip B.">

What transpired?

No, Who transpired. What was a little less active. (If I remember my
Abbot and Costello correctly.)

Say, are we getting to the part where the word "blasphemer" is used? I'd
like to make some popcorn, but would prefer it to be warm and buttery as
you explain how we're not supposed to use our brains.

(Or is that a sin?)

Don't drool.

So a secular and common present usage replaces the bible. O.K.

You really are an idiot. You screech about gays "because the Bible
says so" but completely ignore all the rules in the Bible that might
affect you.

I have never said the bible even mentions gays.
When did I say a word "against" gays. I usually criticize those who
separate them out. I also criticize the "gays" who separate themselves
as something special.

You are ignorant of what you repeat , ignorant of the bible, ignorant of
Greek contextual language.
