Nothing. There is no 8th.
“[T]he day of his [Christ’s] light . . . was the day of His resurrection from the dead, which they say, as being the one and only truly holy day and the Lord’s day, is better than any number of days as we ordinarily understand them, and better than the days set apart by the Mosaic law for feasts, new moons, and Sabbaths, which the apostle [Paul] teaches are the shadow of days and not days in reality”
Eusebius of Caesaria - Proof of the Gospel 4:16:186. [A.D. 319].

Not Scripture. Did not know you were Catholic. I see Eusebius did not understand Colossians either.

They began the consecration on the first day of the first month, and by the eighth day of the month they reached the portico of the LORD. For eight more days they consecrated the temple of the LORD itself, finishing on the sixteenth day of the first month.
(2 Chronicles 29:17)

we should speak from knowledge not from ignorance, as becometh saints.
the record of the history of the church establishes that from the very beginning the believers kept 'the Lord's day' -- not sabbath -- and calling it 'the eighth' had a very rich and detailed theological understanding and motivation for doing so.

they're just facts, dude, and they remain facts despite your animosity towards them.

how nice of you to remove all the red x's you put on the scriptures i quoted for you, and the writings of the early church fathers explaining what the first generations of Christians who guarded the faith of the apostles thought about this subject.

:D

No facts. Eusibius writings are commentary not scripture.
So you are Catholic. Go figure

Are you done quoting heretics that heretics preserved. Are you Catholic? If not why follow what they preserved

Nothing. There is no 8th.

“Now, sirs,” I said, “it is possible for us to show how the eighth day possessed a certain mysterious import, which the seventh day did not possess, and which was promulgated [intimated] by God through these rites.” … “The command of circumcision, again, bidding the Jews always circumcise the children on the eighth day, was a type of the true circumcision, by which we are circumcised from deceit and iniquity through Him who rose from the dead on the first day after the Sabbath, [namely through] our Lord Jesus Christ. For the first day after the Sabbath, remaining the first of all the days, is called, however, the eighth, according to the number of all the days of the cycle, and remain the first.” … “You know, then, sirs, ” I said, “that God has said in Isaiah to Jerusalem: ‘I saved thee in the deluge of Noah.’ By this which God said was meant that the mystery of saved men appeared in the deluge. For righteous Noah, along with the other mortals at the deluge, i.e., with his own wife, his three sons, and their wives, being eight in number, were a symbol of the eighth day, wherein Christ appeared when He rose from the dead, for ever the first in power. For Christ, being the first-born of every creature, became again the chief of another race regenerated by Himself through water, and faith, and wood, containing the mystery of the cross; even as Noah was saved by wood when he rode over the waters with his household.”
Justin Martyr - Dialogue with Trypho 24:41:138. [A.D. 160].

There you go, got it all figured out. I thought better of ya. You marked one of my posts with a red x. I think it is childish grade school nonsense. So to prove my point I went through and marked your posts without reading them.

And Now you are God and you are going to tell me I am lying and that intended to leave them. LOL'

I know why not go back to quoting heretics that the Catholic Church deemed worthy of preservation.

Much easier than rightly dividing the word of truth I will give you that.

So is this exchange that we are doing. lol

how about you address the substance of the things being presented instead of attacking the character of others?

as you asked, are we done with childish nonsense?

yeah. you said there is no such thing as an eighth day.
that's pretty obviously a false statement, and i disagree with it, and i've been posting evidence establishing that what you wrote is a lie.

there's my explanation. thanks for inquiring.
