Subject: When did the day of worship change? |
Bible Note: Please re-read my post. I stated in my post that I would let "other people determine weather it was right or wrong" I was just answering the portion of her question concerning the early history in the church. I guess I will throw a few observations your way on this issue. Of course Jesus worshipped on Saturday--He was a Jew! Moot Point. The question is, are we as belivers under the New Covenant Mandated to worship on one particular day? I would say no. Col 2:16-18 16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or A SABBATH DAY (emphasis mine). 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. 18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you for the prize. Such a person goes into great detail about what he has seen, and his unspiritual mind puffs him up with idle notions. - This passage tackles a number of Jewish related issues. Paul was addressing a group of Jews who was attempting to Judiaze the church--make them submit to Jewish customs. I would read this whole book and take a look at the book of Galatians and the Jerusalem council in Acts 15. The Apostles made it abundatly clear that certain things--Like circumcision--was optional for the beliver. To believe otherwise is to deny the plain reading of these passages. I am not sure how much clearer Paul could get on this particular issue but it seems like there are those in Christendom that want to drag us back under the ritual observances of the Law. |
