1 | what is the true worship day sun. or sat | Col 2:16 | kalos | 25102 | ||
Who says the 7th-day Sabbath -- Saturday -- ever was the true day of WORSHIP? You didn't get it from the Bible. The Sabbath was observed by complete rest (Ex 35:2-3). Apart from maintaining the continued burnt offering (Numbers 28:9), and its connection with the annual feasts (Exodus 12:16; Lev. 23:3,8; Num. 28:25), the seventh-day SABBATH WAS NEVER MADE A DAY OF sacrifice, WORSHIP, OR ANY MANNER OF RELIGIOUS SERVICE. It was simply and only a day of complete rest for man and beast, a humane provision for man's needs. |

In Leviticus 23:4 it tells us a little more about the Sabbath. "Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation (gathering together). You shall do no work on it, it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings." Seems to me he didn't tell them to go to the "tent" or the synagogue did He? The holy convocation of rest was to be held in "their dwellings". The Hebrew word for "dwellings" is "mowshab" meaning either an assembly or a dwelling (place). God expected the family and servants to have a day of rest one day a week. Isn't that why the rabbis made "rules" about just what could and couldn't be done on the day of rest? Did they make a rule that said everyone had to go to synogogue if it meant walking more than a mile?? Seems like they could only walk a mile on the day of rest. Is that right? Reminds me the Letter to the Hebrews (Jewish believers) 10:24-25 "And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, NOT FORSAKING THE ASSEMBLING OF OURSELVES TOGETHER, AS IS THE MANNER (custom) OF SOME, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching." Even then, apparently everybody wasn't gathering together in a "service" of sorts! And the writer of Hebrews didn't say it was wrong to NOT assemble, but simply told those who were gathering together to keep gathering together. And it seems that the "gathering" that was spoken of had a purpose such as stirring up love and good works, and exhorting one another at/during the gathering. It doesn't sound a whole lot like most services today I don't think. |

3 | what is the true worship day sun. or sat | Col 2:16 | djconklin | 25124 | ||
I especially appreciated the fact that you went back to the Hebrew to draw out it's meaning. BTW, it was vs 3 not vs. 4. A "holy convocation" by "definition" would mean that the childern of Israel gathered together on the Sabbath to worship God. It is said (I'm not all that sure of its validity) that the rabbinical rule ab't the sabbath day's journey came from the size of the encampment and the distance from the farthest away to the tabernacle (i.e., the distance allowed didn't then allow frivolous travel to merely chit-chat with each other). |

4 | what is the true worship day sun. or sat | Col 2:16 | There | 25217 | ||
I noticed that I had written the wrong verse number right after I "sent". :) I'm glad you corrected it. Now I'm curious. Do you know when that rabbinical "rule" was added? Any idea?? |

5 | what is the true worship day sun. or sat | Col 2:16 | djconklin | 25247 | ||
If I had to guess I suspect that the rabbinical rule was made during the intertestamental period, probably after the time of the Maccabees. | ||||||
