Re: Sunday service instead of Saturday?
Some relevant information and bibliography are provided in my article:

Re: Enough of "Textual Criticism"! What Do People Imagine Marcionism Looked Like If You Visited Their Synagogues?
CW asked, above, where Marcionite synagogues were located. One Marcionite synagogue inscription, mentioning Jesus Christ, dated to 318-319 CE, was reportedly located in the village of Lebaba, seven kilometers south-east of Damascus, noted e.g. in this review by WHC Frend: https://www.jstor.org/stabl...

Re: The Problem With The Theory That the Pentateuch Was Written in Alexandria
A reply to neilgodfrey, post just above. I merely copied the time stamp in order to identify the post. The question mark was for the "Contra" phrase, not for the time. Russell Gmirkin wrote, in part, on BC&HF, in the "Two Failures of the 270s creation proposal?" thread, post ...
