  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Because the Apostles taught it that way.

Where did they teach it this way?

In the Bible or somewhere else?

I don't see where Sunday lines up with scripture.

(I'd still like to know what bZZZZZZ meant)

bZZZZZZ is a good thing... a welcome sound (think radio show)

I'm an Orthodox Christian. I am not bound to scripture alone.

I can't.

Didn't you read my username?

Hebrews 6:19-20 "Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec."

I desperately need a haircut. I thought that maybe you were a prophet (think electric razor). :D

I figured as much by your username (although I'm not sure what Orthodox Christian means).

I guess that you're referring to oral tradition. What do you do if the two contrast each other? Which do you go with?

Sure I did.

Where? Through oral tradition or in their epistles? I don't see where the Lord's day is Sunday in scripture. Everything seems to point to Saturday.

I'll go with "Holy Tradition" (oral is fine).

You may not be able to discern it from scripture alone. Witnessed by the idea that you came away with Saturday.

What day was the Lord's resurrection? (That is "The Lord's Day")

The Apostles taught it was "Sunday".

Forgive me...

That is a very poorly stated question unless you're trying to see how many 7th dayers there are posting in GT. I know there are more than one.

The Sabbath threads sre making the rounds again.

Actually... that's not what I'm after at all.

I am attempting to put to rest a conspiracy theory that Sixtus I (115-125) formed the custom of Sunday worship.

Forgive me...

I think this is the wrong question. No one but SDA's say that the Lord's Day is Saturday. The issue on which there is debate is when the Sabbath is. Some Protestants will say Saturday, and distinguish the Lord's Day from the Sabbath. Others say that the Lord's Day is a Christian Sabbath, and thus apply the Sabbath rules to Sunday (possibly in some Christian adaptation).

Even the Reformed tradition is split on this. Calvin said the Sabbath is Saturday, and the Lord's Day is a free celebration. The Westminster Confession calls the Lord's Day the Christian Sabbath, and the churches that follow it tend to apply Sabbath rules to the Lord's Day. Even my own pastor, who normally follows Calvin more than Westminster, speaks of Sunday as the Sabbath. Personally, I don't consider the Lord's Day to be the Sabbath. (I also don't think we absolutely have to worship on Sunday.)

Yes there are a lot of people that are spouting off unlearned and unqualified statements everywhere. It certianly helps the SDA cause. But when you pin them down to what was actually said they have no response. For instance they might say so and so said that Sunday is the Sabbath or so and so claims to keep the Sabbath with actual behavior they have no leg to stand on. In fact no SDA or other people that I know of keep the Sabbath today. Most do business every Sabbath including the strict orthodox with few exceptions in America.

It is kinda funny when my SDA neighbor had his vehicle pulled out of the ditch on the Sabbath it was an ox. But when he rides it to worship on the Sabbath it is a vehicle and doesn't qualify as an ox according to the famous 10. They just don't understand this inconsistancy and wonder why more people don't believe them. Amazing indeed!!!

I would buy that only if you wish to promote that Sunday replaced the Saturday Sabbath. There may be some legalists who apply some of the Sabbath regulations/requirements to Sunday, but that doesn't change the day.

My question was what do you do if your "Holy Tradition" is in contrast to Holy scripture?

I'll go with the scriptures.

Jesus was resurrected on the first day of the week, Sunday, but every gospel records that it was the day after the Sabbath.

It didn't become the Sabbath.

Like I said, I'm not a SDA, nor am I a Messianic Jew.

Just a Christian who's following the scriptures and they're plain on this topic.
