On the Celebration of the Sabbath in Liturgical Churches

[SabbathBlessings]

All the ancient Churches worship on Sunday including the Armenians, the Mar Thoma Christians in India and the Ethiopians, none of whom were under Roman influence. Wherever the Apostles established Churches, they also established Sunday worship.

Where is this in the Scriptures, every church the apostles set up had to do with keeping the Sabbath. Acts 13:14, Acts 13:27, Acts 13:42 Acts 13:44 Acts 15:21 Acts 16:13, Acts 17:2 Acts 18:4

There is no every day 1 worship anywhere in the Scriptures, but there is for Sabbath-keeping. Sunday worship came long after the Scriptures in what we were warned would happen Dan 7:25

The Catholic Church Council of Laodicea (circa 364 AD) decreed: (the opposite of what God commanded Exo 20:8-11)

Christians shall not Judaize and be idle on Saturday (Sabbath), but shall work on that Day: but the Lord’s Day, they shall especially honour; and as being Christians, shall, if possible, do no work on that day. If however, they are found Judaizing, they shall be shut out from Christ.

Because Christians were keeping the Sabbath otherwise would be no point for the decree. Much like Daniel and his friends had to deal with, disobey God’s commandments or die. They were faithful to God‘s commandments and God took care of them, just as we should be faithful to what God says, over man, even if it’s not popular. Jesus never taught to follow the crowd. Mat 15:3-14 Mat 7:13-14 It’s decisions we will all have to make and live with them one day soon Rev 22:11

Where is this in the Scriptures

None of the Gospels had been written nor any of the Epistles when the Apostles began evangelising. Everything was word of mouth

 

[SabbathBlessings]

None of the Gospels had been written nor any of the Epistles when the Apostles began evangelising. Everything was word of mouth

So should we ignore the book of Acts but instead rely on what man says over time that has been proven over and over again the message it starts with is never the ended-up message because man each wants to rely on their own will and own interpretation, something the Scriptures warns us about Pro 3:5-6 why God's Word is unchanging Psalm 119:89 and is to be the path to our feet Psa 119:105 going away from this we are warned Isa 8:20

The everlasting gospel message includes the Sabbath because it points us to God the Creator - there are lots of gods but only One God Who has the power to create the heavens and earth and only One creator that has the power to sanctify us and both of these are tied to keeping the Sabbath.

Rev 14:6 Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— 7 saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”

This is the everlasting gospel

1. Fear God
2. Give glory to Him
3. His Judgement has come
4.. Worship the Creator


What does someone who fear God do? And fear means to revere

Ecc 12:13 Now all has been heard;
here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments, (His version, His personal Testimony Exo 31:18)
for this is the duty of all mankind.

What does it mean to give glory to God
In the context to the everlasting gospel it means to depend on Him for salvation Eph 2:8-9 1 Cor 1:29 and the word boast in these verses means glory, so its not about self-glory its about what God does.

Judgement
While we are saved by grace, we need to stand before Jesus Christ come Judgement Day

2 Cor 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

Rom 14:12 So then each of us shall give account of himself to God.

Its the last part of Ecc because we are judged based on His commandments, not the commandments of man. There is no Sunday commandment in the Scriptures, but there is for Sabbath-keeping written and spoken on the Authority of God

Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:

Fear God and keep His commandments,
For this is man’s all.
14 For God will bring every work into judgment,
Including every secret thing,
Whether good or evil.

Mat 7:21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

It is God's will we keep His law in our hearts, not rebel against them and replace with our own law.

Psa 40:8 I delight to do Your will, O my God,
And Your law is within my heart.”

God didn't leave it up to man to write His holy and eternal law man will be Judged by James 2:10-12 God wrote it and its in God's heavenly Temple why we see it as the last trumpet Rev 11:19

We are judged based on God's standard of righteousness Psa 119:172 Isa 56:1-6, not ours, God's Truth Psa 119:151, not ours


Why we have time to repent now, Mat 4:4 Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. But soon our decisions will be sealed, and everything will be final Rev 22:11

Worship Him brings us right back to the Sabbath commandment

Rev 14:7 and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”

which is quoted right from the Sabbath commandment as it has God's seal, that no man can break.

Exo 20:8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

Isa 66:23
And it shall come to pass
That from one New Moon to another,
And from one Sabbath to another,
All flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says the Lord.

Why the Sabbath is a sign or seal, we are God's people Eze 20:20 that only He can sanctify us Eze 20:12 as we can't sanctify ourselves Isa 66:17

We can follow the crowd what was handed down by word of mouth or we can obey God and His commandments His version. Jesus tells us what happens when we choose to take the wrong path and where it leads Mat 15:3-14

The 'crowd' was the Apostles and they were given authority by Christ. Since all the Churches they established have Sunday as their primary day of worship, it seems you may have missed a thing or two in your interpretation of Scripture.

Brother, the evidence for who changed God's holy day from Sabbath to Sunday was found by my professor, he changed the opinion of his own professor who admitted that the change from Sabbath to Sunday was post apostolic. No apostle was responsible for the change.

The predominant academic opinion before the study of my professor was that the Jerusalem church pioneered the abandonment of the Sabbath for Sunday. The reason is that only the apostolic church in Jerusalem could have the authority to make such a change. My professor was given access to the Vatican Library and to counter this assumption, Bacchiocchi discovered that Epiphanius (about 350) tells the story of the direct descendants of the Jerusalem church. Epiphanius informs us that the Nazarenes persisted in the observance of the Sabbath until his own time (about A.D. 350). Bacchiocchi found this document in Greek and Latin. He shared this finding with his professor, who admitted that this was a fatal blow to the thought that the Jerusalem church made the change from Sabbath to Sunday to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. If a direct descendent of the Jerusalem church insisted and persisted in the observance of the Sabbath until the fourth century, then they could hardly have been responsible for changing the Sabbath to Sunday in the first place. His finding definitely showed the Jerusalem church is excluded. In his defense of his dissertation, his professor admitted having changed his mind and acknowledged that Sunday keeping is a post apostolic phenomenon. No apostle was responsible for the change as concluded by my history professor, Dr. Samuele Bacchiocchi, in his book: "From Sabbath To Sunday: A Historical Investigation Of The Rise Of Sunday Observance In Early Christianity". He talks about his book in the above video.

According to Christ, He has all authority Mat 28:18 and He said He would not change His times and laws, not a dot or tittle Mat 5:18-19 Psa 89:34, that's who we were warned about Dan 7:25 that sadly, most the world follows. His faithful keep God's commandments Rev 14:12, His version, because He is God and man is not, nor will ever be, above Him.

The apostles in the Bible never set up weekly Sunday worship hence why no Scripture is ever posted, they kept the weekly Sabbath in the same manner as Christ did Luke 4:16 Acts 13:14, Acts 13:27, Acts 13:42 Acts 13:44 Acts 15:21 Acts 16:13, Acts 17:2 Acts 18:4 because that is what a Christian means to be a follower of Christ. The change in God's Sabbath commandment came long after Scripture and we are warned when going away from God's Word Isa 8:20 following popular traditions over obeying the commandments of God, that path leads to a ditch Mat 15:3-14. We really are at our last chance of reconciliation with God. It was never the popular crowd in the bible who followed what Jesus taught and lived and sadly, nothing new under the sun. We can make better decisions and come out of our false teachings before its too late Rev 18:4 but our time is coming to a close on this earth and once Jesus comes our decision will have been sealed Rev 22:11

Every time a change in the faith was introduced, the Church fought tooth and nail against it, striving instead to hold fast to the traditions (teachings) handed down by the Apostles. Where is the controversy regarding Sunday worship? It doesn't exist because there was no controversy because there was no change. Sunday worship was Apostolic. Did the early Christians also worship on the Sabbath? Yes, of course they did. The Sabbath continued and continues to be held in high esteem among the ancient Churches.

 

[Godsunworthyservant]

Christians do not do evil things not because they are forbidden in the Mosaic Law, but because they are evil things.

Just curious, how does one know they are evil things if not for the Law? How did Paul know what things were evil if not for their inclusion in the Law? If not God's commandments, who then is the arbiter of what is evil and what is not?

Paul's answer...

Rom 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”

Quoting directly from the Ten Commandments Exo 20:17

My point exactly! I posed it as a question for the previous poster but I guess now they know the answer. The answer is always there in God's word.

This is the controversy according to Jesus.....exatling traditions of man over the commandments of God. There is no commandment for Sunday keeping, this is pure tradition, not one started by the apostles in the Bible, but what man changed God warned about Dan 7:25,

There was no controversy on the Sabbath vs Sunday in the Bible because everyone was keeping the Sabbath according to the commandment of God Luke 23:56 and the example of Jesus who we are to follow, not anyone else Luke 4:16 Acts 13:14, Acts 13:27, Acts 13:42 Acts 13:44 Acts 15:21 Acts 16:13, Acts 17:2 Acts 18:4


Mat 15:3 He answered and said to them, “Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? 4 For God commanded, saying, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ 5 But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God”— 6 then he need not honor his father [a]or mother.’ Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition. 7 Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:

8 ‘These people [c]draw near to Me with their mouth,
And honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
9 And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”
10 When He had called the multitude to Himself, He said to them, “Hear and understand: 11 Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.”

12 Then His disciples came and said to Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”

13 But He answered and said, “Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. 14 Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”

As I detailed in another post on the subject, 1st day or Sunday worship was actually not the norm in the beginning. It seems to have begun during Paul's Gentile missions but didn't become widespread until the Emperor Hadrian outlawed Sabbath worship.

I just don't see this in the Scriptures. The apostles did things on every day of the week, but that doesn't make it a new sabbath, new day of worship or a change in God's Authority.

I have yet to find any Scripture that says:

1. they transferred one of God's written and spoken commandments to something different than what God said
2. they had the authority to change God's personal Testimony Exo 31:18 , when God said He wouldn't change it Psa 89:34 Mat 5:18
3. There is no Text that says day 1 is now the new Sabbath
4. No Text that says day 1 is the new day of worship
5. No commandment for day 1 worship

This all happened long after Scripture, just as we were warned Dan 7:25 and well documented in history who changed it and why they changed it. We are told whoever we obey is who we serve Rom 6:16 I say we obey God on His Authority, not man.

The apostles kept the Sabbath and taught to keep it.

Example- mind you this is 20 to 30 years after the death of Christ

Acts 13:42 [n]So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.

If the Sabbath "ended" or Sunday is now exalted over God’s commandment, this would have been a perfect time to tell the Gentiles we do not worship or go to church on the Sabbath anymore, we now keep Sunday holy, but did that happen?

Acts 13:44 On the next Sabbath almost the whole city came together to hear the word of God.

Of course not because the apostles were not commissioned to undermined God and change His commandments, they were commissioned to spread the gospel and faithfully kept every Sabbath like they were teaching the Gentiles Acts 18:4 because God's people keep God's commandments despite if that's not what the majority are doing. Jesus never told us to follow the crowd, but to follow and abide in Him John 15:4,5,6,10 1 and if we abide in Him we ought to follow His example 1 John 2:6

Churches that exist well outside of the influence of Rome worshipped primarily on Sunday. They also worshipped and continue to worship on the Sabbath.

Brother, we humans cannot add anything to God's instructions in the form of traditions that are not found in God's word confirmed through the prophets, because we are "blind guides" who do not know the way out of sin, as Jesus expressed this truth in the following passage. This means that not even the apostles can add anything that God has not revealed to us in His word confirmed through the prophets. If it is not in God's word confirmed through the prophets, then it comes from blind guides who enslave us to sin, when God wants us to listen only to Him, because only He knows how to lead us out of sin.

“What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you shut the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people’s faces. You won’t go in yourselves, and you don’t let others enter either. “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you cross land and sea to make one convert, and then you turn that person into twice the child of hell you yourselves are! “Blind guides! What sorrow awaits you! For you say that it means nothing to swear ‘by God’s Temple,’ but that it is binding to swear ‘by the gold in the Temple.’ Blind fools! Which is more important—the gold or the Temple that makes the gold sacred? And you say that to swear ‘by the altar’ is not binding, but to swear ‘by the gifts on the altar’ is binding. How blind! For which is more important—the gift on the altar or the altar that makes the gift sacred? When you swear ‘by the altar,’ you are swearing by it and by everything on it. And when you swear ‘by the Temple,’ you are swearing by it and by God, who lives in it. And when you swear ‘by heaven,’ you are swearing by the throne of God and by God, who sits on the throne. (Matthew 23:13-22 NLT)​

When we add something, as was done in Judaism by adding human traditions that cancel the word of God, as revealed in the following passage, these human traditions enslave us to sin, which would otherwise have been eliminated by God's Ten Commandments had they not been added to Judaism. The same is true of the human tradition of Sunday, which has replaced the Sabbath in the Fourth Commandment.

Jesus replied, “You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you, for he wrote, ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship is a farce, for they teach man-made ideas as commandments from God.’ For you ignore God’s law(nomos)/commandment(entolé) and substitute your own tradition.” Then he said, “You skillfully sidestep God’s law(nomos)/commandment(entolé) in order to hold on to your own tradition. For instance, Moses gave you this law(nomos)/commandment(entolé) from God: ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and ‘Anyone who speaks disrespectfully of father or mother must be put to death.’ But you say it is all right for people to say to their parents, ‘Sorry, I can’t help you. For I have vowed to give to God what I would have given to you.’ In this way, you let them disregard their needy parents. And so you cancel the word of God in order to hand down your own tradition. And this is only one example among many others.” (Mark 7:6-13 NLT fixed)​

United in our hope for the soon return of Jesus, Jorge

 

[Leaf473]

I'll take scripture over human tradition any day

But there's another player, the body of Christ

If God gave important truths to the body of Christ and then allowed them to be lost, he would be the person that lit a lamp and then allowed someone else to put a bucket over it

Light of the world, You stepped down into darkness

Yes they did and yes they do.

 

[SabbathBlessings]

I am going to have to reply with the same answer as before on the question you asked previously

how does one know they are evil things if not for the Law?

Paul's answer...

Rom 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”

In this same unit which Paul quotes as the authority of what is sin is the Sabbath commandment, written and spoken by God. Is there another higher than He?

God only sanctified and blessed one day and that is the seventh day. Gen 2:1-3 Exo 20:11 Exo 20:8 He said all other days are for works and labors Exo 20:9

So back to your question how do we know what is evil- God addressed this specifically concerning the Sabbath

Isa 56:1 Thus says the Lord:

2: Blessed is the man who does this,
And the son of man who lays hold on it;
Who keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
And keeps his hand from doing any evil.”

Jesus relates Sabbath keeping as not doing evil. So what does the opposite mean? Defiling one of God’s commandments. It has never worked out for anyone in the Scriptures Heb 4:6 Eze 20:13 and I do not think it will work out in the end for us. Heb 4:11 Mat 7:21-23 Rev 22:14-15 The apostles were not teaching to not keep God’s commandments and there is no every day 1 worship in the Scriptures. Exalting a man-made tradition over obeying the commandments of God, Jesus had some strong words for Mat 15:3-14 Mark 7:7-13 Mat 5:19-30

Eze 22:26 Her priests have violated My law and profaned My holy things; they have not distinguished between the holy and unholy, nor have they made known the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.

God blessed the seventh day Sabbath that started at Creation Exo 20:11, part of God’s perfect plan for mankind, once God blesses, man can;t reverse Num 23:20 and we will either have His blessing or by default have the opposite. God wrote Ten Commandments Deut 4:13 Exo 34:28 , His personal will and Testimony Psa 40:8 Exo 31:18 that all mankind will be Judged by James 2:10-12 Mat 5:19-30 Ecc 12:13-14 Rev 22:14. He wrote Ten, not nine not one and by faith we should Remember what God asked us not to forget. exalting another day God made for works and labors I do not believe is the way to show our love and loyalty to God 1 John 5:3 John 14:15 Exo 20:6 Eze 20:20

The answer is always there in God's word.

Yes it is. Why we shouldn’t rely on what’s not in the Scriptures - God warned us about this very thing Isa 8:20 especially in lieu of God’s own personal Testimony Exo 31:18 which the whole bible is about, the testimoney of Jesus Christ through His apostles and prophets. If we can’t trust God’s own personal Testimoney I don’t;’t see the point in the rest of the scriptures.


This might be a bit strong but I believe is warranted in the times we are in Rev 18:4

This might be a bit strong but I believe is warranted in the times we are in Rev 18:4

As I have said before, I believe there is nothing wrong with wanting to worship on Sunday so long as we ""Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy". If God commanded anything or Christ taught it that should be the final word on the subject. Unfortunately, men have had over 2000 years to add their own two cents worth to God's commandments and here we are discussing whether to obey one of them. I was simply agreeing with the other poster that there are those who do both. Personally, I believe we should worship God on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I also believe that we should keep the Sabbath holy.

I agree we should worship God 24/7 365 days a year, but Jesus relates true worship with keeping His commandments Rev 14:12 and false worship as keeping our traditions over God’s commandments Mat 15:3-14. To claim the apostles, set up Sunday churches and worshiped every Sunday as an example or change is just not in the Scriptures anywhere, I guess thats why those who claim this never post the verses, the apostles and Gentiles were keeping every Sabbath following the footsteps of Christ. Luke 4:16 Acts 13:14, Acts 13:27, Acts 13:42 Acts 13:44 Acts 15:21 Acts 16:13, Acts 17:2 Acts 18:4 Thanks for your thoughts, I appreciate it.
