Subject: What day are we COMMANDED to gather? |
Bible Note: Thanks for the welcome, Steve! About your post, I'm not sure what you mean by "counter" to gathering on the first day for Christians.... every single one of the Scriptures you cite here are when Paul went to the synagogue to persuade the Jews (and sometimes the Greeks seeking God) to know Jesus! These were NOT Christians gathering together to praise the Lord, filled with the Holy Spirit! Therefore, "...it must be Friday... Saturday for some." has nothing to do with us, today. There are many things that Paul did to accomodate the Jews, so that he would have a forum to present his Christian apologetics. These were not meant to be examples of how we should act, but what PAUL was called to do. "All are not apostles, are they...?" 1 Corinthians 12:29 NASB The only reason I can think of for discouraging the saints from gathering is some kind of personal notion, and the only reason I can find for discouraging the saints from gathering on the firat day of the week, Sunday, is a corporate notion. Blessings in Jesus' name! charis |
