1 | When did the day of worship change? | Acts | userdoe220 | 18894 | ||
In Acts 20:7 the Greek phrase that is used is Mio Ton Sabbaton Mio equals First Ton equals Day and Sabbaton(pluaral) equals Weeks I don't see a problem with the way the NASB/KJV/NKJV/RSV Greek linguists translated this passage. Just because you see the word Sabbaton, does not automatically mean the Sabbath day. Lets look how the author you ar qouting Greek translation skills pan out in other passages in the N.T. Mark 16:1-2 16:1 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus' body. “Sabbath”, in this passage, is the Greek word SABBATOU Which is in the singular and the expression that is used to designate the Sabbath in Scripture. 2 Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb “First Day of the week” uses the same Greek sentence Construction found in Acts 20:7: Mia Ton Sabbaton which is again correctly translate first day of the week as it is in Acts 20:7. If I used your argument, verse 1 and 2 would have occurred on the same day which the context of the text would not allow. Why? Verse one states “when the Sabbath day was OVER” (emphasis added is mine). So Mia Ton Sabbaton was used, as it is used elsewhere in scripture, to designate the first day of the week. I choose to let scripture interpret scripture. Acts 20:7 is not a difficult passage to understand at all as the author of the article you pasted states in the beginning. In light of Mark 16 it becomes clear that Mio Ton Sabbaton is the phrase used to designate the first day of the week, Sunday. The question I must ask is why did the author of your post go through such linguistic Gymnastics to have Paul not preaching on Sunday? Because it would violate his understanding of the Sabbath. It would mean that it is now OK for believers to worship on the Lord’s day. I really did enjoy your post and it caused me to dig back into the Greek Text and do some research; however, I would like to hear your thoughts penned in your own words. Could you please respond to the scripture in Collossians. I am anxious to hear how you understand those passages in the light of your view on the Sabbath. Thanks for your time and effort you have placed in this dialogue. I have really enjoyed it. Schwartzkm |

2 | When did the day of worship change? | Acts | Yoshua | 18902 | ||
Your're right. My last post was taken from a site that I discover recently. By digging a little bit more deeper, I've found some "gymnastic" doctrinal phrases too. So, I think some aspects are valid, some not. But if you don't mind I recomed you a favorite site: http://www.sdanet.org/atissue/sabbath/bacchiocchi-2.htm. This article is from Samuele Bacchiocchi. He's a very respected biblical scholar. Sorry brother, I've lost the sequence...What passage of Colossians do your refer? I do agree. The Law must be seen as a whole. And indeed it is moral basically. My point -perhaps I wasn't clear- is that the 10 Comm have a differente treatment by God that the other rest of the Law. The most valid argument to sustain my point is the Bible itself. The Holy ghost, through Paul, stablishes the 10 Comm as the basis to determine what is sin (Rom 3:20). You can say that ANY rebellion against the will of God is sin. And it is (remember Adam). But I would like you to tell me ¿why does the Holy Spirit inspires Paul to use the "Not covet" commandment and not a ceremonial rite? "Being a revelation of God's will for mankind, the law reveals the nature of sin as disobedience to God. Paul explains that "through the Law comes the knowledge of sin" (Rom 3:20) because the Law causes people to recognize their sins and themselves as sinners. It is evident that this important function of the Law could not have been terminated by Christ, since the need to acknowledge sin in one's life is as fundamental to the life of Christians today as it was for the Israelites of old." Samuele Bacchiocchi Thanks for your time and interest. God bless you, Yehoshua |
