Bible Question: NEED A SCRIPTURE TO PROVE THE PRACTICE OF WORSHIP ON THE 1ST DAY OF THE WEEK |
Bible Answer: 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 |
