I have found many (bible alone mentally minded people) claiming to follow biblical doctrines but cannot provide satisfactory answers as to why they cling to such doctrines even from the bible itself.
For example, debating with someone about rapture; when the quoted texts have been shown to mean something else, or could have a different meaning scholarstically, they cling to the Holy Spirit and such like excuses. Personally if it is scriptures alone, I stick to that and explain my stand rationally and consistently by valid inferences as I did on the seal of God post.
On this concluded argument, I would also say that it was the traditions of the apostles to meet on the Sabbath day according to the commandment, and because no one can prove that they profaned the Sabbath, through scriptures, history, or otherwise, I can also say that the Sabbath was important to them.
PS. I believe in the new earth's Sabbath from Isaiah, not Revelation.
