1 | When did the day of worship change? | Acts | srbaegon | 18598 | ||
Actually, the day of worship never changed--it is always today. I assume you are asking: When did the regular assembling of God's people for worship change from Sabbath to Sunday? Imeediately after Pentecost the believers met daily (Acts 2:46-47). It wasn't until sometime later we see a pattern of a specific day being used (Acts 20:7; 1 Cor 16:2). Steve |

So the people change a direct commandment from God...very human. but ¿what does God think about that? ¿Does He accept disobedience? Yoshua |

3 | When did the day of worship change? | Acts | srbaegon | 18815 | ||
So you are saying the early church was wrong in what they did. I find it odd, then, that God would correct Ananias and Sapphira so stringently, and yet let this matter go unchecked even from the day of Pentecost. Steve |

Dear brother if some people in the early church change sunday for sabbath, they were wrong. Many members of early christians kept Sabbath as the Lord has spoken. All of you believe the apostles kept sunday and thats not true. They kept Sabbath, because they undersatnd perfectly that Jesus did'nt came to abolish the Law. With Jesus death, they understood obedience is a demonstration of salvation. They began to obey because they were already saved and not in order to obtain salvation. The majority of you think taht between the Law and the Grace exist contraposition. And that's not true. They complement each other. Let me explain: ¿for what do you need the grace? to be saved. Saved from what? From your sin. And what is sin? Transgression of the Law (disobedience). So if the Law doesn't exist how do you know waht is sin? (Paul explians that in Rom 7:7). Do you see? the grace is the gift to be saved from sin. when you're saved you demonstrate your gratitude by the obedience to your Saviour. that's why God take His people from Egypt and THEN He gaves them His Law. First, He gaves freedom and then, when you're free from sin (Egypt), He explains his will for you in order to be happy(expressed in the 10 Commandments, basically). I do not obey the Law in order to find salvation. I'm saved by the blood of Christ and that's a free gift. But, now that I'm saved I will obey because I love my Saviour. That's why He always said if you love me then obey me. (John 14:15) and (1 Jhon 2:4). You'll find none verse about the divine validation of sunday as a day of the Lord, but you can find at least 10 verses about Sabbath as the day of the Lord. Think about it... I pray the Holy Ghost talks to you and explains this theme. Sorry if I have been rude or vague. I'm just human. your brother in Christ, Yoshua |

5 | Col. 2:16 and Sabbath Keeping | Acts | Morant61 | 18876 | ||
Greetings Yoshua! You said in your post that there was no verse in the Bible that validates Sunday as the Day of the Lord, but there is a verse in the Bible that invalidates Sabbath keeping - Col. 2:16. Col. 2:13-17 says, "When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, 14 having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross. 15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. 16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ." The clear teaching of this passage is that the Law is fulfilled in Christ (Rom. 8:2) and no longer has authority over Christians (Gal. 3:25 and Heb. 7:12). As such, we can no longer be judged about Sabbath keeping. From past experience, I know that you will probably reply that the Sabbath in Col. 2:16 is plural and therefore does not apply to the weekly Sabbath. However, there are two reasons why this argument will not work: 1) The Greek word for Sabbath ('Sabbaton') is used interchangebly in both the singular and the plural. The word is used 68 times in the New Testament, and only once does it refer to more than one Sabbath (Acts 17:2). There we know it refers to more than one Sabbath because there is a numeral in the text telling us that it does. There are even several verses where the plural Sabbath is used with the singular day (Luke 4:16, Acts 13:14, and 16:13) This is conclusive proof that the Sabbath referred to in Col. 2:16 is the weekly Sabbath. 2) The second proof that the weekly Sabbath is referred to in Col. 2:16 is the fact that this list is taken from Num. 28 and 29. In these two chapters, we find the exact same issues dealt with as Paul deals with in Col. 2 - Yearly festivals, monthly feasts, and weekly Sabbaths. So, here we have one clear Bible passage that specifically says that we can no longer be judged based upon Sabbath keeping. It doesn't say that someone can't worship on the Sabbath if they choose to do so. It just says that no one can be judged for not doing it. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Why was this under questions? Anyway, excellent answer. We've been debating that question on another group too and that is a major point! :) | ||||||
