Subject: Why do we not keep the 7th day Sabbath |
Bible Note: It may help you to do some research into the literary devices used by Luke when he was writing in Acts. I do not contest your "tithing of your time," however, that, I do not believe, is the purpose for meeting on the "first day." I do not believe that Sunday is the new sabbath. I don't think it has much to do with the sabbath at all. I think if you do some investigation into Luke's style of writing and exactly what he was referring to in his devices, you will come to a better understanding of what Sunday is all about. Worship is to be done 7 days a week, which I am sure you will agree with, and is not just something done on Sunday. Further, "offering your time" or "tithing your time" for different thing is okay, but be careful that you do not fall into the trap of thinking that all of these things you do are for God. God doesn't need your Bible study time, he wrote the book, that time is for you, it is something you need, like water. Prayer services are the same. Sunday worship is the same. These time were not designed for God, he doesn't need them, but we do. Never should we forget just how wretched we are and how much we are in need of his grace. |
