“Keep the Lord’s Day in the Lord’s way!!!!”
To all....by the way, that’s a direct quote above from the article. Not my quote. Her quote about Protestants and Sunday. Just fyi. Thank u now.
Well, I’ve got a job that requires 24/7/365 attention. Without what I do, modern society crumbles. Prior to that, at one point, I was a US Army Infantryman.
Both of those things cause me to “not keep the sabbath”. My soul is not in doubt because of this.
Blatantly false. The essential or important truths are those of the NT church of the Bible, which was not Catholic (which slowly was a slow if not total transition), and distinctive Catholic teachings are not manifest in the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed (which is Scripture, in particular Acts through Revelation, which best shows how the NT church understood the gospels).
And it was not Catholicism that began meeting on the first day, but the same NT church which was not Catholic.
Under the New Covenant instituted in Christ's precious sinless shed blood, (Lk. 22:20; cf. Heb. 9:16) the Lord Jesus, having come in the flesh and risen to Heaven, we are to "walk by faith, and not by sight" (1Cor. 5:7), and sight is what the ceremonial elements provided. And thus it is distinctly stated that the prophesied New Covenant was "Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord." (Hebrews 8:9) The prophesied destruction of the previous temple being allowed to take place by the LORD in approx. 70 AD., that event terminated the sacerdotal priesthood, with it's Levitical genealogical records etc., thereby making it literally impossible to keep the whole Law as it was literally intended. This destruction puts an exclamation point as it were after such passages in Hebrews as, “In that he saith, A new covenant, He hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.” “But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us” “For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: " (Heb. 8:13; 9:11, 12; 10:4,5).
As the Temple was destroyed and replaced by the “holy temple in the Lord” of believers, so also the Old Covenant was replaced with the New. Therefore in no place is the N.T. church called to perpetuate the Old Testament shadows among the hundreds of commands given to the church of new creations, but rather we are expressly warned about those who would constrain us to keep such ordinances that Christ fulfilled. (2Cor. 3, Col. 2:14-17; Galatians 3-6; Phil. 3:1-3; etc.) This deletion of such ordinances includes the special observance of the 7th day Sabbath2 as nowhere is the NT church commanded to keep this, though the other 9 of the 10 commandments are reiterated under the New Covenant. (1Cor. 8:5,6; Rv. 22:9: 1Jn. 5:21; 1Cor. 6:9; 10:7,14; Eph. 5:5: 1Tim. 6:1: Eph. 6:2-3: Rom. 13:9; Gal. 5:19-21; James 2:10-12: Rom. 13:9; 1 Cor. 6:9; 10:8; Eph. 5:5; Gal. 5:19-21; James 3:10-12: Rom. 13:9; Eph. 4:28: Rom. 13:9; Col. 3:9; Eph. 4:25: Rom. 7:7; 13:9; Eph. 5:3, 5. More here).
Neither do we see any real example of any established Christian assembly keeping the 7th day Sabbath as they grew in the grace and knowledge of God. Text such as Lk. 4:16; Acts 13:14, 42, 44; 16:13; 17:2; 18:4 do not show 7th day Sabbath–keeping commanded or the church perpetuating, but Paul, as a Jews, going to 7th day meetings to preach to the Jews and their proselytes. And as mentioned before, the only specific day only Christians are recorded as meeting was the first day of the week. (Acts 20:7; 1Cor.16:2)
The Christian who holds such a doctrine as Old Testament 7th day Sabbath–keeping in the absence of any command to do so under the New Covenant (which clear confirmation other major doctrines have) are not “rightly dividing the Word” (2Tim. 2:15) as I see it, as they are not Biblically recognizing the evident Covenantal distinctions of the New Covenant, and are promoting a doctrine without sufficient New Testament warrant from God who is its author.
To be consistent, those who teach we must keep the 7th day Sabbath also must literally require keeping another pre-Mosaic everlasting covenant, that of circumcision, (Gn. 17:13) of which Scripture expressly states, “neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.” (Gal. 6:15) And if they will invoke the law of Moses as their authority to keep ceremonial law, then they have a practical dilemma as well, as God has taken away the means by which they can observe them all the other for ever type statues2 (without the Temple there can be no Levitical priesthood, or “patented” incense, etc.). Rather, the Lord has commanded us to be obey Him under the New covenant, which we are to able minsters of, “not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.” (Col. 3:6)
In contrast to the absence of the any mention of an established N.T church specifically meeting on the 7th day , the Holy Spirit clearly records that the disciples came together specifically on the first day, (Acts 20:7; 1Cor.16:2) a practice that has historical support3 beginning as early as approx. 100 AD. (before the establishment of Roman Catholicism - which is charged by the Sabbathtarians with instituting Sunday worship - came to formally be).

This nonsense again?
It is obviously that the Christian World looks to the Blood of Christ for their salvation while the 7th Daysers look to the Sabbath.
I remember my mom, in a legalistic non 7th day church on her death bed crying because she was afraid of death because..”I’m Afraid I haven’t Done Enough!”
I wanted to scream..”It is not what YOU have done for Christ that saves you! It is what HE did for you n the Cross that saves you!”
WE look to Christ on the Cross for salvation. Others look back to the 7th day to save them.
The Orthodox church also worships on Sunday and has no use for a pope either.
Oh, God no, you keep the Pope.
You are an embarrassment to Catholicism.
What I admire most about her is she don’t play the “law nailed to the cross game.” No, homey don’t play that game. She lifts up the Ten Commandments as did the Protestants of old.
Sure it’s her ten commandments, she changed the Sabbath and moved it to number 3 from number 4...(see her catechism) but homey don’t play that ridiculous new covenant dispensationalism game of today......the law was nailed to the cross.
That’s a game today’s evangelical plays to get out from the Sabbath or 4th commandment. Because they got their own laws..against abortion, homosexuality, stealing, lying, etc. But in the same breath when it comes to the Sabbath....Oh, there’s no law, you are legalistic, the law was nailed to the cross.
At Rome don’t play that game. Homey don’t play around. Evangelicals are kind of a joke today. They are all boxed in on the Sabbath , they squirm, so they managed to talk themselved out from the Ten Commandments. The law John saw in Revelation.....the “Tabernacle of the Testimony”
Funny...
The reason the Protestant movement is sometimes called the "Protestant Reformation" is because it was originally intended to reform the Catholic church. Nobody contends that Martin Luther or other early protestants woke up one morning and said, "Hey, let's start a brand new church from scratch. No wait, we'll plagiarize from someone else like the Chinese." LOL
Just like many American legal standards have roots from British law (because that is who the Americans tried to reform and when they couldn't they made a new country), so too do Protestants have things in common with our common religious ancestors: the early church. Especially with beliefs in common before Damasus I first asserted in AD 382 that the Roman see had supremacy and was somehow specially seceded from Peter. For example, much of the Council of Nicea (AD 325) is believed by Catholics and Protestants alike in part because it precedes Damasus I creating papal authority from thin air.
Something like “take my wife,...Please”
I can live with that...”take my pope...Please, PLEASE.
The Christians in Bithynia were observing church in 110 AD on Sunday and it had nothing to do with any teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. See Pliny’s letter to Trajan.
Like
French - Samedi From Old French samedi, from Vulgar Latin *sambati diēs, from Latin Sabbati diēs < diēs Sabbati (“day of the Sabbath”).
Polish - Sobota - inherited from Proto-Slavic *sǫbota, *sobota, from Medieval Latin sabbatum (or from Vulgar Latin *sambatum), from Ancient Greek σάββᾱτον (sábbāton), from Hebrew שַׁבָּת (šabbāṯ).
Italian - Sabato
Greek - Σάββατο (Sávato)
English is a poor substitute for many languages and leads to errors as we see among many western groups.
Similarly the word “Sunday” - in
Greek - Κυριακή (Kiriakí) - the Lord’s Day
Latin - Dominica - the Lord’s Day
Italian - Domenica
French - Dimanche
etc.
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
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.
Paraphrasing Henry Youngman, Take my Pope, please
Lighten up Francis.
