Those councils were not about keeping things as the apostles did or about keeping them the way God ordained them... They were about how to make Christianity benefit the current government and it leaders current religious traditons. It was a rotten work as has been recognized in some of the great works today such as D. Bernard's 'History of the Christian Church'.
I wish that what you have said here were true Mr Blume, it would uncomplicate my life some... but is simply is not. sorry.

What allegedly changed at the councils was bogus. Nothing changed the fact that the early church broke bread the first day of the week, not because the day was holy. That is a strawman argument against not keeping sabbath though. IOW, not every one who goes to church on sunday does it because of the nutty decision the catholics made to change the sabbath. They never had anything right to begin with.
So, sorry, I stand by my words.
What would make your life easier is realizing that
Gal 4:9-11 teaches the church is not intended to keep holy days, months and years from previous covenants. The truth will make you free! If sabbath keeping is making it hard as though something else would make it easier, that should awaken you to something being offkey with sabbath keeping. And what REALLY should make you free is knowing that the sabbath day was a shadow of resting in Christ forever, and that means we keep the sabbath because we keep the BODY and not there mere shadow.
