Kim misreads Acts 18:4 as a command for all believers to gather in synagogue every Sabbath; Mike shows it is merely a description of Paul's evangelistic method

The False Teachings and Lies of Joo-Cheol Kim (Pastor of the Church of God) 00:19:35 – 00:21:38

Kim uses Acts 18:4 — 'he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath' — as a New Testament proof-text for mandatory Saturday church attendance.

The verse describes Paul's practice of going to synagogues to evangelize Jews and Greeks — it contains no command, no universal principle, and no instruction to believers to attend synagogue. Kim also confuses the Sabbath concept (rest) with the tradition of synagogue attendance, which did not even exist when Leviticus was written. Synagogues are an intertestamental development.
