Bible Question:
What day are we COMMANDED to gather? I cannot find anywhere in the Bible where we are commanded to gather together. - The fourth commandment only says to keep the Sabbath day holy. It does not say to gather. - The in the NT sometimes they gathered on the Sabbath and other times on the first day of the week. I want Biblical support (I do not care what any man thinks) for your answer that it is a COMMAND. I believe it is just a tradition. Steve |
Bible Answer: Hi Searcher56 There isn't anywhere where it specifically says "I command that you gather together." But there is another word that means the same thing. ( ASSEMBLING) In the first church they assembled on the Sabbath most likely because they were Jews and it was their tradition to assemble on that day. But then the ranks were filled with Gentile believers some say that Constantine changed the day to Sunday while others say it was the Pope. Be that as it may they did gather / assemble. There is even a religion who's foundation is gathering on the Sabbath (Saturday) based on the (COMMAND) The fourth Commandment - - to keep the Sabbath day holy. Heb 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. ON THE OTHER HAND Rom 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. No gathering or assembling mentioned here so we can either be legalistic about keeping the Sabbath day holy and assemble or we can be legalistic and not gather calling it a tradition. "But let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind." I see that this question you asked is 9 yrs. old but it was reopened and I had two cents:-) Grace be unto you lightedsteps |
