>>>Sabbath remains the last day of the week. As Christians we celebrate the risen Lord on the Lord’s Day - the first day of the week. Jesus brought in a new era and we keep that day Holy for the Lord>>>
Yes, it’s a great tradition. Problem is there’s no text for Sunday being holy, a day of worship, or a change in the Sabbath that God himself declared to be a holy day. In Genesis, we read God himself hallowed and sanctified the 7th day. Jesus said the Sabbath was “Made.” Sorry but with all due respect, you can unmake what Jesus made.
Sunday keeping was brought into the church by Rome. In fact, she is the great apostate and Daniel’s prophecy describes her. Daniel even prophecied she would seek to change “times and law”....that’s the Sabbath to Sunday.....Daniel 7:25.
I don’t follow Rome. I follow the Bible. Thank you
Firstly - my post #727 refuted the statement that “sabbath was changed to Sunday” — that is false.
Do you agree that it was not changed by the Church?
Actually there is text for Domenica/The Lord's day being holy
Jesus rose from the dead "on the first day of the week."
Mt 28:1; After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning,[b] Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. 2 [c]And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, approached, rolled back the stone, and sat upon it.Mk 16:2; Very early when the sun had risen, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb.
Lk 24:1;The Resurrection of Jesus. 1 But at daybreak on the first day of the week they took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.
Jn 20:1 ] 1 On the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning, while it was still dark,[c] and saw the stone removed from the tomb.
the day of Christ's Resurrection recalls the first creation. Because it is the "eighth day" following the sabbath,
it symbolizes the new creation ushered in by Christ's Resurrection. For Christians it has become the first of all days, the first of all feasts, the Lord's Day (he kuriake hemera, dies dominica)
================
Note that the Ecclesiastical review of 1914, etc are wrong to state that there is no Biblical reason
Let's repeat - Sabbath remains on Saturday, but Christians observe the Lord's Day which is the day we worship the risen Lord
John 20:19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
Before any church was formed or birthed, Jesus established worship on the first day for the new covenant made by His blood, and upon His obedience, not ours.
First day of the week confirmed by Jesus, not man, nor church.
1 Corinthians 16:2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
The concept of worship on the first day of the week originated with Jesus arising from the dead on the first day of the week and therefore this day was chosen by God, and men followed.
Acts 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
Here we see the great apostle Paul did not deviate but continued worship and meeting on the first day of the week.
Finally - you say “i don’t follow Rome, I follow the Bible”
Where do you think the compilation of the books of the Bible came from?
Why do you not have the Shepherd of Hermas in your Bible, when it was rejected by the Catholic church for being in the collection of books called the Bible?
Catholics, who form the bulk of Christianity even until today, follow the Word of God - Jesus. Jesus’ words are in the Bible, but the Bible does not contain all of it - refer John 21:25 “There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written.”
And you vespa say “As for Michael the archangel, a deep study will show he is Jesus. “one who is like God” and only God is like God. He is not an Angel....he is the leader of the angels. He is not created, he has existed forever. Michael is simply Jesus incarnate in the OT.”
So, do you think Jesus is God?
