Dear Joseph George,
‘Sabbath-keeping Judaizers’ was the term used by Claudius Buchanan (1811) for Nasranis when in Malabar in his writings. Prof. Menachery has also written on this in his works.
Ref: Claudius Buchanan (1811 AD), ‘Christian Researches in Asia: With Notices of the Translation of the Scriptures into the Oriental Languages’. 2nd ed. Boston: Armstron, Cornhill.
The earliest mention of Sabbath (Saturday) keeping was by Eusebius in 300 AD (in early christian writings) by the sect known as the Ebionites/Nazarenes, who Eusebius says also worshipped on the first day (Sunday).
I guess that statement by Buchanan and those by Menezes are some of the biggest overlooked evidence as to who we are !!!
