1 | Sabbath. | Matt 12:1 | Searcher56 | 7684 | ||
First - the question was is there a command it the Bible stating to gather on the Sabbath or the first day of the week (this term is not in the Greek)? Second - Just because Augustine taught it does make it right. He and others have linked the Sabbath with gathering together. They also have misdefined worship. Third - I still believe we should follow all the Ten Commandments. The fourth was to keep the Sabbath holy - that is cease from work, which we should not do everyday (2Th. 3:6-15). The Hebrews passge does not fit. |

Steve Butler writes: "Second - Just because Augustine taught it does make it right. " JVH0212 writes: Are you saying that "Just because Augustine taught it does [not] make it right"? If you are, then Congratulations! You completely missed the point of the paragraph which begins: "The early church fathers, from Ignatius to Augustine..." Had one read the paragraph, he would have seen that no one is quoting Augustine to prove that the fourth commandment is no longer in effect. Here is the what the paragraph SAYS: "The EARLY church fathers, from Ignatius to Augustine, taught that the Old Testament Sabbath had been abolished and that the first day of the week (Sunday) was the day when Christians should meet for worship (contrary to the claim of many seventh-day sabbatarians who claim that Sunday worship was *not instituted until the fourth century*)." What it MEANS is what it SAYS: The early church fathers, including Augustine, bear witness to the FACT that Sunday worship WAS instituted long before the fourth century. This runs "contrary to the claim of many seventh-day sabbatarians who claim that Sunday worship WAS NOT instituted until the fourth century." The emphasis of the quote is not on WHAT Augustine taught, but WHEN he taught it. The fact that he taught it when he did goes to show that Sunday worship, right or wrong, was instituted EARLIER than the seventh-day sabbatarians claim that it was. |
