Sw40calus, No Lydia was not a Jewess. She was with Jews and Gentiles on the Sabbath. Acts 13:42ff also shows that the Gentiles were in the synagogue the Sabbath. There are other passages that they gathered on the first day of the week. Observing the Sabbath is more than gathering together. It is a holy day and not a holiday. It was a day of rest from all work and focusing the day on God. Whne we gather, we talk about children, careers, crime, Christmas presents ... and not Christ and the Father. Do I have to go to church on the Sabbath (Fri 6pm - Sat 6pm)? It may be opitional. There are some Arab countries that allow Christians to gather on Friday, else it is illegal. I think we should follow all the Ten Commandments and not set aside the fourth -- for any reason. These are my own thoughts. I have found "experts" to support my view ... and those who oppose it.

Good point, Steve! "The place of prayer was a typical feature of towns throughout the Roman empire, where Jews resident in each area gathered for social, commercial and religious purposes. Lydia, a common name in the Greco-Roman world, was from Thyatira, a major commercial city in Asia Minor. Her purple cloth was a luxury item, the dye for which was obtained from a type of sea snail along the coast of Syria and Palestine. Persuaded by Paul, she and her entire household are converted and baptized." Cambridge Annotated Study Bible "Sabbath Sabbath: v. 13; Acts 17:2. (Gen 2:3; Mat 12:1, note)" New Scofield Bible "where prayer was customarily made: According to Jewish custom, a congregation consisted of ten households. If ten male household heads could be found in a city, a synagogue was formed. If not, a place of prayer was established, usually near a river under the open sky. Paul’s habit was to go first to the synagogue of a new city. However in Philippi, he searched for a Jewish prayer meeting." Nelson Study Bible |
