Bible Question: Why do we no longer keep the seventh day Sabbath,as commanded in the ten commandments. Saturday is the Sabbath and this day was never changed, not by a command of God and Jesus never made reference to it. Even the apostles kept it long after Jesus resurrection. with no mention of a change in the day.Who changed the day to Sunday? |
Bible Answer: I am curious as to where you find that the apostles kept the sabbath long after Jesus' resurrection? I do not find anywhere where it states that the apostles continued to observe the sabbath. We do see throughout acts that they went to the synagogue to teach and reason with the scriptures, but not that they observed the sabbath. Further, the sabbath was never changed to Sunday. The meaning of the sabbath is completely different to that of the first day gathering of the first century christians. You may want to study exactly what each day means and what it represented, then ask the question, why don't Christians observe the sabbath also? I personally think you will find the answer to why Christians do not observe the sabbath is found in Colossians 2:16. In terms of why the first century Christians met on the first day of the week, you may also want to be aware of literary devices used by Luke when he refers to their coming together. |
