Rome's Challenge: Why do Protestants Keep Sunday? (Its not in the Bible, she changed it and wants her credit)
https://www.romeschallenge.com/ ^ | 1893 | Catholic Mirror

Posted on 06/14/2023 10:48:04 AM PDT by vespa300

Most Christians assume that Sunday is the biblically approved day of worship. The Roman catholic church protests that it transferred Christian worship from the biblical Sabbath (Saturday) to Sunday, and that to try to argue that the change was made in the Bible is both dishonest and a denial of Catholic authority. If Protestantism wants to base its teachings only on the Bible, it should worship on Saturday.

>>>Like I said, I don’t think Abel raised sheep for a hobby or just wool.>>>>

That’s right.....you “don’t think Abel raised sheep for a hobby or just wool.”

That’s Rome’s point....Protestants like you depend on “thinking” instead of the Bible while you claim the Bible as your source. She’s exposed you.

Duh, if we use common sense, God wouldn’t have had to tell Noah what animals were clean and which ones weren’t. Noah would have already known from generations before.

Rome is right.....try finding the text as you claim instead of thinking. You won’t find sunday and you won’t find the beef until Noah.

Was the Sabbath made for Man?

All one would have to do is go back to the days that Christ was on this earth. It’s His day and I’m sure he knew exactly when it was. Or, go back to Mount Sinai. That’s when the Jews have been keeping track of it. The day has not been lost.

——>Probably the best defense I have ever read on the Bible Sabbath, the 7th day and it’s written by Roman Catholics.

I agree. I’ve linked to it many times on this forum.

The Sabbath ends at sundown. Saturday evening is Sunday. And, the commandment tells us to keep the day holy, not just go to a meeting.

The Sabbath was made for man. It was a day set aside for man to contemplate and worship God the Creator. We are to take time to think of His awesomeness. And to respect and worship Him in the way HE chooses. That is our purpose in this life.
Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

——>This is going to be a huge issue in the end too. Sunday is the “Mark” of her authority. And Sunday is being exalted more and more for climate change day off and the Pope is huge on making Sunday a legal “holi day”.....

The Beast power: Papacy
It’s mark of authority: Sunday

“It was the Catholic church which...has transferred this rest to Sunday in remembrance of the resurrection of our Lord. Therefore the observance of Sunday by the Protestants is an homage they pay, in spite of themselves, to the authority of the (Catholic) church.” Monsignor Louis Segur, Plain Talk About the Protestantism of Today, p. 213.

“Sunday is our mark or authority...the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact.” Catholic Record of London, Ontario, September 1, 1923.

“Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change (Saturday Sabbath to Sunday) was her act...And the act is a mark of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things.” H.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons.

“From this we may understand how great is the authority of the church in interpreting or explaining to us the commandments of God - an authority which is acknowledged by the universal practice of the whole Christian world, even of those sects which profess to take the holy Scriptures as their sole rule of faith, since they observe as the day of rest not the seventh day of the week demanded by the Bible, but the first day. Which we know is to be kept holy, only from the tradition and teaching of the Catholic church.” Henry Gibson, Catechism Made Easy, #2, 9th edition, vol. 1, p. 341-342.

13 By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.”

The Ten Commandments were for everyone, not just the Jews, and though they often failed to adhere to it, that did not change with Jesus. He too observed the Sabbath, on the 7th day - not the 8th or the 1st. The New Covenant did not end the Commandments of the Ten Commandments - all of them. And it makes to sense that only the 4th would no longer be one of the Ten Commandments God asks all to uphold.

——>But, I don’t think God is concerned with a Saturday or a Sunday, as long as we’re keeping one day of the week holy and set aside for Him and our rest and recovery.

Well, seeing as how the Sabbath is His seal of Authority, He commands it, and said to REMEMBER it, I can’t see how you could be correct.

——>Those who worship on Sunday gather in remembrance of The Resurrection of Christ overcoming Death, absolving us of sin by his sacrifice and rose from the dead.

Please show all of us the command from Christ, from the bible, making that true. The command would have to come from Christ and only Him. The New Covenant went into effect at His death and His blood sealed it. The bible is absolutely void of any such command/change.

...The Last Will and Testament of Jesus Christ
https://www.biblelightinfo.com/covenant-seal.htm

When did the New Covenant go into effect and who is the mediator?

Heb 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Heb 9:15 And for this cause he [Jesus] is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of [His] death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
Heb 9:16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
Heb 9:17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

The New Covenant came into effect with the sacrifice, shedding of blood, and death of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ. As this Testament of Jesus Christ was put into effect by His death, the terms of the Testament cannot be changed by anyone after that.

Gal 3:15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man’s covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.

A covenant, testament or will cannot be changed by anyone once the testator has died. Paul in Hebrews 9 is saying that the New Covenant is the last will and testament of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and as such it is not subject to alteration or annulment of its terms Gal 3:15. The terms of the New Covenant, in effect from the moment of the death of Jesus, and not subject to change by anyone, are the Ten Commandments of God. The Ark of the Covenant / Ark of the Testimony contained the substance or terms of both covenants, the Ten Commandments. It is impossible that the Sabbath commandment could be changed, that Sunday could replace the Sabbath in the New Covenant, after the death of Jesus on the cross! To attempt to change the terms of a last will or testament after the death of the testator is illegal and fraudulent in any court of law.

What’s amazing is the response to this thread. Prophecy before our very eyes. They united across all denominations and beliefs on Sunday. Rome can sense this too. She bides her time.

If you think you hate the Sabbath and those who keep it now? Just wait till the entire world is collapsing and it turns back to a big church. You know, to appease God. United on 2 false doctrines. The false and spurious Sabbath and the belief that the dead are alive in heaven as a spirit.

Uncle Charlie will be telling them to keep Sunday. And they will fall for it hook, line and sinker.

The Sabbath is God’s seal of authority in the Ten Commandments. It is the 4th commandment because it is for all mankind throughout the 4 corners of the earth. And in it, we see his seal of authority to give the moral law.....Name, Title, and Territory. Lord, God, creator of heaven and earth.

All of this nonsense and superficial made up theology doesn’t change a single jot or tittle in the 4th commandment. Daniel 7:25 prophecied the attempted change of the Sabbath. And prophecy is right on schedule.

From Biden to Pelosi, to the US Supreme court, to Government and even industry leaders and nations and celebrities and you name it...small and large......they are all once again....marveling after her..meeting with her, and getting their marching orders from her.

The wound she suffered in 1798 has healed. And she despises the Sabbath. It exposes her. The great pretender.

——>Those who gather on Sunday honor THE RESURRECTION, not the day.

THOSE WHO GATHER ON SUNDAY don’t keep the 7th-day-Sabbath holy according to the 4th Commandment, which is Christ’s seal of Authority. The Beast’s mark of authority is Sunday worship, AS THEY CLEARLY ADMIT TO.

And God help those us who keep God’s law instead man’s law. We won’t even be able to buy nor sell. And yes, we will be blamed and persecuted and even die. Jesus saw the church and state together in Matthew 24 and Mark 13:9.

Families will be divided over the Sabbath, neighbors, friends, turning on each other and only the small remnant are identified in Revelation, 12:17, those who “keep the commandment of God”.....do not get the mark of the beast. We get the seal of God. The masses, as you saw here...get the mark of the beast and are very intolerant people. They play right into Rome’s hands and they are angry because the world is imploding , they are losing everything and somebody has to be blamed.

Church and state put Jesus on the cross....and it will once again persecute those who are faithful to God’s commandments. The 2 beasts in Revelation 13. The first a super religious power in Rome.....the 2nd a very powerful Government leading the world into apostasy and enforcing the will of the first beast. Church state union. It’s a nobrainer.

They have all fallen for the lies:

OSAS/OJAJ
Secret Rapture
God’s commandments were nailed to the cross
Christians can’t sin (flesh vs the spirit)
God isn’t done with the Jews
It doesn’t matter what day you worship on
The Sabbath day has been lost
Keeping the Sabbath is legalism. Of course the other 9 are fine
etc...

Satan’s plan will be like taking candy from a baby.

Spot on. Rome is laughing at the sunday keeping Protestants who claim the Bible alone for doctrine. She changed it, and the protestants have no answer. That’s why the Bible talks about the whore and her daughters. Boom.....

But it’s not to late to “come out of her my people”....many in the world are accepting the Sabbath because they are reading the Bible for themselves and are being led by the Holy Spirit. The idea the Sabbath has changes in scripture is laughable. Jesus said NOT ONE JOT OR TITTLE till heaven and earth pass away. He fulfilled the law.....he didn’t destroy it.

what poor Bible scholarship are today’s evangelicals. It’s desperate actually. They follow Rome.

yep..all lies. Even the forward to the original King James Vesion of the Bible identified Rome as the “man of sin”..Now, they either have no idea or follow him. It’s amazing how far evangelicals have fallen when it comes to sound doctrine.

In fact, back in the day, they actually kept Sunday as a Sabbath and I believe God honored that. It was in ignorance but they kept it , the whole day. In the first episode of All in the family, Edith mentions the “Sabbath” and how they shouldn’ argue on the Sabbath. It was Sunday but at least they knew it was a whole day.

And in an episode of Andy Griffith, there’s a scene of them coming out of church and they are saying...”good Sabbath”......wrong day.......but right way...and I think God honored that. But he restoring the Sabbath to expose the beast and make her angry. Her and her daughters.....as you see here...they got angry! wow.....

——>It’s a no brainer.

I have often been accused of being part of a cult for keeping the law of God, out of love for what He did for me on the cross, exactly as He has asked me/Christians to do. The animosity towards the Sabbath is especially palpable. It will literally be humanity’s last chance on this earth at the end, to show whose authority they follow. Those who choose anything other than Christ’s 7th-day-Sabbath will receive the mark of the beast. God’s remnant church keeps His commandments.

Revelation 12:17And the dragon was enraged at the woman, and went to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.

You are absolutely correct....a no brainer.

https://bibleask.org/what-do-different-denominations-say-about-the-7th-day-sabbath/

They all know it. Yet, for their own reasons, they ignore the truth. That is a sin and they are cowards.

Revelation 21:6He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. 8But the COWARDLY, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
