Strawman argument again. Again, I do not believe the commandments are abolished. These scriptures show us the importance of the first day of the week. That it is the Lord's Day and the day the early Christians were worshiping Our Lord and Savior.
Now ELOY, Strawman argument again? What strawman argument?
I refer you back to post #386 linked that defines what a strawman argument is and challenge you to prove I have made any strawman arguments.
So nope I have not made any strawman arguments to you. That is a false statement from you.
I have only challenged you to show scripture that says God's 4th Commandment has now been abolished and we are now commanded to keep Sunday as a Holy day. You have not been able to provide a single scripture. I have only chalenged you to provide a single scripture to other questions from
POST # 383 linked click me, you have not been able to provide a single scripture.
............
Now that the strawman argument has been dispelled again. Let's take a look at the scriptures you are promoting to say God's 4th commandment has now been abolished and we are now commanded to keep Sunday as a Holy day and your claim that Sunday is the "LORDS'S DAY"?
Public worship was celebrated by the early Christians on Sunday: "On the first day of the week, when we met to break bread..." (Acts 20, 7).
I noticed here you left off the rest of the scripture which says in full...
ACTS 20:7 [7], And on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to
break bread,
Paul preached to them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
The disciples met together everyday of the week in the book of ACTS. "BREAK BREAD" simply means that the disciples were having a meal together. WHY? BECAUSE PAUL WAS DEPARTING the next day and they were not going to see him again for some time v7; 13-16.
So
NOPE ACTS 20:7 is not a scripture that says God's 4th commandment SEVENTH DAY SABBATH is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to keep SUNDAY as a HOLY DAY now is it ELOY? One down. Now let's look at the other scriptures you have provided...
Collections in support of the Church were gathered on Sunday:"On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that contributions need not be made when I come" (1 Cor. 16, 2).
Now let's be honest now does 1 COR 16:2 tell us that God's 4th Commandment has now been abolished and we are now commanded to keep SUNDAY as a HOLY DAY? I do not think so. Let's look at the scripture...
1 CORINTHIANS 16:1-8
[1], Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do you.
[2], On the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God has prospered him, that there be no gatherings
when I come.
[3], And when I come, whomsoever you shall approve by your letters,
them will I send to bring your liberality to Jerusalem.
[4], And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.
[5],
Now I will come to you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.
[6], And it may be that I will abide, yes, and winter with you, that you may bring me on my journey wherever I go.
[7],
For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.
[8],
But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
Now notice the reason for the collection. The collection for the saints was to be laid up on Sunday why? v2-5 because Paul was passing through on his way to Ephesus v8 and was taking the offerings to the Saints at Jerusalem v3
.
So once again NOPE. 1 COR 16:1-8 are not scriptures that say God's 4th commandment SEVENTH DAY SABBATH is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to keep SUNDAY as a HOLY DAY now is it ELOY?
Two down. Now let's look at the other scriptures you have provided that you claim are in reference to
Sunday being the "LORD'S DAY"?
John the apostle celebrated the Lord's day, do you? St. John received his Revelation on Sunday: "I, John, your brother who share with you in Jesus the persecution...was on the island called Patmos...I was in the spirit on the Lord's day..." (Rev. 1, 9-10).
May I suggest you follow this section very closely? Let's start by looking at your scripture that you claim is in reference to SUNDAY being the
"LORD'S DAY"
REVELATIONS 1:9-11 [9] I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. [10], I was in the Spirit on the
LORD'S DAY, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, [11], Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What you see, write in a book, and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
No doubt about it ELOY that scripture clearly says that John was in the SPIRIT on the
"LORD'S DAY"!
NOW the only problem you have is you need to show scripture that says SUNDAY or WHAT DAY IS THE LORD'S DAY.
Can you please prove to me from the scripture that SUNDAY is the "LORD'S DAY"?
If you cannot find any scriptures to say that SUNDAY is the
"LORD'S DAY" then you have a problem because I can show you scripture saying that the
LORD'S DAY is not SUNDAY but the
SABBATH DAY.
Let's have a look at the Scriptures...
MATTHEW 12:8 [8]
FOR THE SON OF MAN IS LORD EVEN OF THE SABBATH DAY.
Q. WHAT DAY IS THE "LORD'S DAY" ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE?
A. THE SABBATH DAY (MATTHEW 12:8; MARK 2:27-28)
Now Eloy, we have gone through every one of your scriptures. NONE of them say that God's 4th Commandment has been abolished and we are now commanded to keep Sunday as a holy day and according to God's WORD the SABBATH is the "LORD'S DAY" not SUNDAY.
Who do we believe and follow? The teachings and traditions of men or the WORD of God? Only God's WORD is true and we should BELIEVE and FOLLOW it over the teachings and traditions of men that break the commandments of God.
.................
SIN is breaking any of God's 10 Commandments (
Romans 7:7;
Romans 3:20;
James 2:11;
1 John 3:4) Those who CONTINUE in KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN will NOT ENTER the KINGDOM of HEAVEN.
.................
God's 4th commandment is one of the ten (
Exodus 20:8-11) If we knowingly break it when God asks us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (
James 2:8-12). If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness we are in danger of the Judgement (
Hebrews 10:26-27)
Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has led many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (
Matthew 15:3-9)
There is not one scripture in all of God's Word that says that God's 4th Commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to keep Sunday as a Holy day.
In times of ignorance God winks at but when as knowledge of the truth has come God calls on all men everywhere to repent and believe his Word (Acts 17:30-31)
Hope this helps.
