2 | PROOF OF WORSHIP ON SUNDAY | Acts 20:7 | Searcher56 | 231322 | ||
God's day to you, B. Meadow, and welcome to the SBF, While the church gathered on the first day of the week (Act 20:7), the church in Jerusalem met every day in the temple and in private homes (Act 2:46). BUT, that doesn't mean it was the only day they met. While 1. There is freedom in the matter of special days (Rom 14:5-6). 2. No one is to act as their judge in regard to sabbath days (Col 2:16-17). 3. We are warned going back under the Law including special days (Gal 4:9-10). ... it still doesn't mean it proves Sunday is the exclusive day of gathering together. The First Council of Nicaea changed the day of worship from Saturday to Sunday ... an extrabiblical move. Searcher |

Dear Searcher, If you will actually read the canons of the First Nicene Counsel you will find that the church fathers did not "change the day of worship from Saturday to Sunday." This is a myth promulgated by many Sabbatarian groups and by Muhammadists. In fact, the tradition of Sunday service goes back much farther than 325 AD. Ignacius comments on Sunday worship observance in a letter in 110; Barnabas -- although possibly not the Barnabas of Acts -- asserts Sunday worship in 130; Justin Martyr in 150; and Tertullian stated in around 200 that Sunday worship dated from the time of the Apostles. Christian worship on the first day of the week is not an arbitrary matter. Our Lord Jesus completed His Work of Redemption on the first day of the week. It is in that Work from which arises our entire hope. Outside of this Work of Redemption, there is no pleasing God. It would be an odd thing, indeed, if the Church followed any other tradition. Indeed, the fact that there is no argument on this point by orthodox Christian scholars over the last 1,700 years reveals that the Sabbatarian perspective is fringe at best and heterodox at worst.
