1 | Who says the Sabbath is on Sunday | Bible general Archive 2 | Country Girl | 124187 | ||
I must admit as you have mentioned, there is no such verse that states "Thou shalt worship on the first day of the week and not on the Sabbath." But then we do have several verses that do cite the first day of the week as I have stated and we do have thousands of years of history showing christians worshiping on Sunday as being that first day of the week. So what are to do? What guidance do we follow? As it's been mentioned many times on the Forum, according to my search just now, this topic has been discussed quite a bit. But suffice it to say that the NT is the current guide for christians in this age or dispensation as compared to the OT. God has given all authority to His Son as cited in Matt 28. When a person does that search for that phrase "first day of week," you can't help but notice that the first instance is at the resurrection of our Lord and Savior. It seems pretty clear to me that christians early on were motivated in this new age of Godliness, to give a special amount of glory and recognition to their Lord and Master which was endorsed by all the Apostles and by God Himself. Remember Jesus did delagate some of His authority to the Apostles to make basic and routine decisions to this degree. After taking another objective look at all the evidence, including the words of your posts and the statements you've made, I have to say that the bottom line is very clear. God is giving as much glory and honor as possible to His Son, thus it seems perfectly logical to give prominence to the day of worship being set on the same day as Jesus' resurrection in contrast to the Sabbath as established in the previous dispensation. Sometimes on issues of this magnitude with the few scriptures we're given, one has to make some decisions/determinations based on faith and respond to "What would God think?" I think he's pleased that the vast majority of christians throughout the world worship God the Father and His Son on Sunday. Maybe we should rename it Sonday. What do you think? Would you like to draft up such a proposal and submit a petition? I for one am willing to sign it. Blessings to you. Country Girl |

A small observation and reasoning to myself. If confuse over this or any decision making in your life, ask the question, what is the heart of God? If we say we know him, then would he not over the hundreds of years of church history indicate his displeasure with worshiping on Sunday? Especially to the apostles! If a man is to work by the sweat of his brow and give 10 percent tithes, all of this by God’s provision, why would God provide employment for Christians who work on Saturday or Sunday or both days? Wouldn’t that person choose a weekday to spend time with him? What is the heart of God? There no confuse in this matter, why keep asking and seeking something other than. Beware of the trickery of the enemy? As in the Garden of Eden. Apply doubt to their hearts even though they know the truth. Has anyone been convicted by the Holy Spirit on this? Would we go back and try to pickup the Law again? Thanks for sharing. |

Scripture ... Num 18:21, 26; Deu 14:22-29 ... There were three tithes in the OT Law: 1) the general tithe paid to the Levites (Num 18:21), who even tithed to the preists (vs 26). 2) the sacred meal tithe (Deu 14:22-27) 3) The tri-annual tithe to the poor (Deu 14:28-29) So that was 19 percent per year for two years and 27 percent every three years, average 22 percent. |
