does
not worship on Sunday.
Lev. 23:3 "There are six days when you may work, but the seventh
day is a Sabbath of rest, a day of sacred assembly. You are not to do any
work; wherever you live, it is a Sabbath to the LORD."
Sabbath is one of Christ's 10 commandments:
Exodus 20:8 "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy..."
Sabbath day changed by man:
"In the decision to celebrate the weekly festive day of rest on Sunday,
(rather than Saturday) it may be that Pagan Roman usages played as large
a part as in the fixing of the Christmas festival." (The Catholic Encyclopedia,
p. 781, vol. 12.)
Deut. 4:2 "Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from
it, but keep the commands of the LORD your God that I give you."
Christ kept the Sabbath:
Luke 4:16 "He went to the synagogue as his custom was, on the Sabbath
day."
As did the Apostle Paul:
Acts 18:4 "He argued in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded Jews
and Greeks."
Do as Christ did:
1Pet. 2:21 "To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you,
leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps."
Sabbath to be kept forever:
Exodus 31:12 "For this is a sign between me and you throughout your
generations.
Exodus 31:16 "...a perpetual covenant..."
Exodus 31:17 "...a sign forever..."
Even in the future after Christ's Second Coming:
Isaiah 66:23 "...from Sabbath to Sabbath all flesh shall come to worship
before me, says the Lord."
Heb 4:19 "The promise of entering his rest [the Millenium] remains...so
there remains a Sabbath rest (in Greek: 'Sabbatismos') for the people of
God."
Sabbath made for all men:
Mark 2:27 "And he [Jesus] said to them, 'The sabbath was made for man,
not man for the sabbath.'" |
