Subject: Whats the major reson for sunday worship |
Bible Note: Doc, If Acts 20:7 is proof that Sunday should be kept as a day of rest then Acts 2:46 is proof that every single day of the week should be kept as a holy Sabbath day of rest. Also remember in Bible times a day was a 24 hr. period beginning at sunset and ending 24 hrs. later at sunset. This meeting in Acts 20:7 was at night and continued until midnight (Saturday night) and Paul began his journey "on the morrow" (Sunday morning). I Cor. 16:1 and 2 was simply a request to have their offerings ready for him for when he arrived and is not a command to keep Sunday as a Sabbath day. Where does the Bible say the "Lord's Day" in Rev. 1:10 is Sunday? Would it not be the day Jesus says He is Lord of? Matt. 12:8 Thanks for adding this "You also left out this quote from the Augsburg Confession (1530), 'Of this kind is the observance of the Lord's Day, Easter, Pentecost, and like holy-days and rites. For those who judge that by the authority of the Church the observance of the Lord's Day instead of the Sabbath-day was ordained as a thing necessary, do greatly err. Scripture has abrogated the Sabbath-day; for it teaches that, since the Gospel has been revealed, all the ceremonies of Moses can be omitted. And yet, because it was necessary to appoint a certain day, that the people might know when they ought to come together, it appears that the Church designated the Lord's Day for this purpose; and this day seems to have been chosen all the more for this additional reason, that men might have an example of Christian liberty, and might know that the keeping neither of the Sabbath nor of any other day is necessary.' You have just confirmed what I was saying that the Church, itself claims they have changed the Sabbath day from Saturday to Sunday. Also remember the seventh day Sabbath as not part of the laws of Moses. It was first instituted in Gen. 2:1-3 many, many years before Moses was even born. The 10 commandment law is not part of the "laws of ordinances" that were nailed to Jesus' cross. |
