Hello Humility. 1Corinthians 16:1,2: 1 Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do. 2 On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come. Acts 20:7 On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight. Revelation 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet "He has particularly appointed one day in seven, for a Sabbath, to be kept holy unto him: which, from the beginning of the world to the resurrection of Christ, was the last day of the week: and, from the resurrection of Christ, was changed into the first day of the week, which, in Scripture, is called the Lord's Day, and is to be continued to the end of the world, as the Christian Sabbath." - Westminster Confession of Faith Stand in His grace, WOS |

1Corinthians 16:1,2: 1 Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do. 2 On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come. -In the first century they did not handle any money on the Sabbath and waited until nightfall to take any collections. (The next day started at sunset.) Acts 20:7 On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight. - to break bread was the traditional way for a community to end the Sabbath. The breaking of bread always occured after sunset Saturday evening, which was therefore the first day of the week. This also means that Paul spoke for a few hours, not all day and night. I don't mention this to disagree with your assumptions nor the Westminster Confessions, only to add some historical understanding, something I fear can get me into some trouble. :-( MJH |

Hi MJH. I don't mind that you have added historical information pertaining to collecting money and breaking bread. What I think you should do however is support those claims with biblical evidence since that is why we are here, to study the bible. Stand in His grace, WOS |
