The scriptures are the only way to be sure of any point of doctrine. I am absolutely sure that Sunday is an error because I searched the scriptures for its justification myself. That is all a believer can do. When I did not find it, I decided to find out where it came from, and I used Catholic sources to prove it.

All Scripture is God-breathed, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, (II Timothy 3:16)

Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, cultivate your own salvation with fear and trembling. (Philippians 2:12)

"You may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify." Cardinal Gibbons (for many years head of the Catholic Church in America), The Faith of Our Fathers (92d ed., rev.; Baltimore: John Murphy Company), p.89.

No Church has the authority to change God's Law. By their fruits, ye shall know them.

Jesus Christ the same yesterday and today and forever. (Hebrews 13:8)

**No Church has the authority to change God's Law.**

You and I have discussed this before. And I acknowledge reading your reference posted in blue. (I only wonder what the rest of his quote might have been!!!LOL!)

The apostles changed this. We both know they were of Jewish origin. So they attended the Sabbath rituals on Saturday.

Then to celebrate the Last Supper as Christ had instructed them: "Do this in remembrance of me." they would gather on Sunday -- the day of the Lord's Resurrection!

So the original church that Jesus sent out -- the apostles were the ones who changed this. It may not be in scripture quite that way. But please do consider the scriptural references at the beginning of this thread.

The Church is Christ's. Christ is the Lord of the Sabbath. He said so himself. Do you deny it?

Heb 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

But there's no question of changing the law here. The Sabbath Law was part of the old covenant. It never applied to Gentiles, and still doesn't.

You guys are completely illogical. Why do you think you're bound by the Sabbath ("God's law") and not think you're bound by circumcision, kashrut, or the laws against mixing fibers in clothing or cutting your hair? Those are also "God's laws," so why don't you keep them?

Jas 2:10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

Gal 5:3-4 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace
