Cause Sat is golf day?
Hank answered this in his “Answers” book.
Sabado.................
The murderous Muslim pedophile Mohammed of Mecca must have asked the same question, since he put his plans for conquest in the Koran thus:
“First we come for the Saturday people, then we come for the Sunday people”.
That was fourteen centuries ago.
Hanegraaff?
Hank was very instrumental in my coming to faith in Christ in '93.
God Bless him.
It really doesn’t matter. At the Cross all the legalisms of the old Testament were fulfilled . The old testament laws were put to an end Romans 10:4.
Yep - let’s just say I don’t agree with ALL that Hank has to say, but on many biblical concepts, he has some good explanations.
Everyday
Especially when it comes to the “word of faith” movement, exposing charlatans like Benny Hinn and Joel Osteen, etal.
...for those who have repented and trusted in Christ's substitutionary atonement for their sins.
Just thought I better add that, cornman. :o)
Amen, brother.
Those who do not have a traditional Jewish background could be confused by this. There are two possibilities, none of which relate to Sunday as a day of worship.
The phrase “first day of the week” is not found in the Greek. It actually says, “the first of Sabbaths.” This could refer to the seven week “counting of weeks” or the “counting of the Omer.” This is the forty-nine day count between the first night of Unleavened Bread until Pentacost.
Secondly, the Jewish practice after the seventh day Sabbath is to assemble for havdalah (separation) and break bread. Traditionally, after the lighting of the havdalah candle, the drinking of wine, and the smelling of spices, those assembled wish each other a good week (shavuah tov). This is then officially the first day of the Sabbath (week).
Although there is a lot to be said for the “first of Sabbaths” to be referring to the counting of the Omer (in which case, this event could have happened on any day of the week), the second explanation fits the context best. They met after conclusion of the seventh day Sabbath, Saturday evening, in a traditional havdalah service, and Paul spoke until after midnight, to leave Sunday morning for travel.
Regardless of any of the views, the fact that this meeting occurred is in no way proof that they met each Sunday.
Well they must believe He is the Son of God. John 3:16-:18. That is the key. If you define repentance as “Never sin again” then that is not required. That would be a contradiction to the substitution atonement you correctly point to.
God bless and have a great day.
Because they prefer College to Pro football?
I’m a Pro football fan and have discussed this issue with the Almighty for decades. Still can’t get him to change it up. *sigh*
Iowacornman said “The old testament laws were put to an end Romans 10:4.” Which says “4For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.”
The law has not ended. Only the requirement to follow the laws to be righteous. Jesus fulfilled our duty to follow the law to be saved. As our Lord himself stated in Matthew 5:17-18: “Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. “For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.”
This is also apparent in the NT in many places such as: 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; “Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.” etc.
So we have Righteousness given to us by Christ, its not a requirement to follow the law. However, a Christian will want to follow the law out of Love for God.
the “church” has nullified the commandment of God by their “traditions”, just like the Jews did.
Constantine combined worship days to consolidate his control over all religions in the Roman Empire.
Celebrating on the day Jesus rose.
