Contrary to the teaching of Seventh Day Adventists the early Church gathered for worship on the Lord’s Day (Sunday), not Saturday, in honor of the day our Lord rose from the dead.


Yep, that is right but they did not call it the sabbath, they called it the lords day.

Jesus rested on the Sabbath and was resurrected on the first day of the week ( sunday ) and for that reason sunday is called the lords day and that is when the believers held service.

Sunday has been given the title the Christian Sabbath and to justify it they have to try to change the meaning of different scriptures.

The sabbath is a day of rest.


gen ch 2
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.


I used to believe all of the crap about the Sabbath being changed to sunday.

Changing the sabbath from the seventh day to the first day would be just like changing the out come of world war 2, it is a done deal it can not be changed.

Sat is the seventh day as it has always been and is the Lords sabbath

The early Christians held services on sunday for two reasons.

1.They honored the sabbath as a day of rest.
2.They honored the first day as the lords day.
