However, I do not believe my information is mistaken, nor am I making a fool of myself. I do have a copy of your book, From Sabbath to Sunday, and my impression of it is that you have taken your beliefs and forced them into the historical setting of the Bible and the early years of Christianity in order to mke it believable that the early Christians were Adventist. I don't think that is right or honest, but I commend you at having done such a good job. You can fool some people all of the time, you can fool all the people some of the time, but you can't fool all people all the time. The truth will come out in the end. You are in the minority, and I realise there is great pressure on you to defend beliefs that are relatively new in the Christian scene, and you have done a good job. But, as I said a moment ago, I think your arguments are somewhat contrived. Hi Stephen: Remember, Stephen, that my dissertation was examined by two distinguished Jesuit scholars, one of whom, Prof. Vincenzo Monachino, directed the dissertation of Corrado Mosna prior to mine on the very same subject. In fact he wrote a foreword to both his dissertation and mine. Why don't you try to fool some Jesuit scholars and see how far you can go? If you unable to understand or examine important historical documents, why waste your time? Dedicate yourself to gardening or to some other activity more compatible with your mindset. Do not waste my time. I have no desire to dialogue with people incapable to think rationally. This time I wasted my time by reading and responding to your first paragraph. Next time I will ignore your message altogether. Christian regards Samuele Bacchiocchi, Ph.
