Subject: Sunday Sabbath or not? |
Bible Note: There are some Christians that believe that Sunday is the Sabbath. However, I do not, because that is found no where in the Bible. There are also no HOLY days that are to be observed as a law. These where just a shadow, and Christ fulfilled them all, including the Sabbath. (cf. Colossians 2:15-17) The point Paul makes is that it does not mater if you go to church on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday! (cf. Romans 14:1-12) If you do observe a day, it is between you and God. You are commanded to go to church, but not on a particular day. (cf. Hebrews 10:25) Most Christians go to church on Sunday, NOT because it is required to go that day, but because they want to go on the same day Jesus rose from the dead, to remember the atonement made for their sins. Is there evidence that the early church meet on Sunday? Sure! (cf. Acts 20:7, 1 Cor. 16:1-2, and Rev. 1:10) Does that mean you have to attend church on Sunday? Absolutely not, as stated above you can attend church on any day you like. Just make sure you are not forsaking the assembling together. (cf. Hebrews 10:25) Secondly you should not judge someone for going to church on any particular day. (cf. Romans 14:1-12) Galatians 4:9-11 9But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again? 10You observe days and months and seasons and years. 11I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored over you in vain. After reading Galatians 4:9-11 are you saying that Paul's statement is wrong, that the Bible is fallible?? Or how can you justify IGNORING Paul's statement and condemnation of the desire to continue observing days including the Sabbath? So once again, I showed you where SABBATH observance was abolished. If that is not enough for you, can you show me where in the New Testament it is stated, that we are COMMANDED to observe the Sabbath? Not inferences! The same way Paul specifically and clearly COMMANDED us to follow the other commandments, the law of Christ? Additionally once again we are not under the law! 2 Corinthians 3:2-11 (The Ten Commandments which was the old Covenant was abolished, and replaced with the new covenant) Romans 7:6 6But now we have been released from the Law, having died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter. Galatians 3:23-25 23But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed. 24Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith. 25But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
