JeffreyLloyd said:Isaiah 1:13 - God begins to reveal His displeasure with the Sabbath.
Matt. 28:1; Mark 16:2,9; John 20:1,19- the Gospel writers purposely reveal Jesus' resurrection and appearances were on Sunday. This is because Sunday had now become the most important day in the life of the Church.
Acts 20:7 - this texts shows the apostolic tradition of gathering together to celebrate the Eucharist on Sunday, the "first day of the week." Luke documents the principle worship was on Sunday because this was one of the departures from the Jewish form of worship.
1 Cor. 16:2 - Paul instructs the Corinthians to make contributions to the churches "on the first day of the week," which is Sunday. This is because the primary day of Christian worship is Sunday.
Col. 2:16-17 - Paul teaches that the Sabbath was only a shadow of what was fulfilled in Christ, and says "let no one pass judgment any more over a Sabbath."
2 Thess. 2:15 - we are to hold fast to apostolic tradition, whether it is oral or written. The 2,000 year-old tradition of the Church is that the apostles changed the Sabbath day of worship from Saturday to Sunday.
Heb. 4:8-9 - regarding the day of rest, if Joshua had given rest, God would not later speak of "another day," which is Sunday, the new Sabbath. Sunday is the first day of the week and the first day of the new creation brought about by our Lord's resurrection, which was on Sunday.
Heb. 7:12 - when there is a change in the priesthood, there is a change in the law as well. Because we have a new Priest and a new sacrifice, we also have a new day of worship, which is Sunday.
Rev 1:10 - John specifically points out that he witnesses the heavenly Eucharistic liturgy on Sunday, the Lord's day, the new day of rest in Christ.
Matt. 16:19; 18:18 - whatever the Church binds on earth is bound in heaven. Since the resurrection, Mass has been principally celebrated on Sunday.
Also, Catholic Churches have mass on Saturday and Sunday.
As Catholics we do believe St. Peter is the first pope and the head of the Catholic Church. It was under the leadership of the church the day was moved to Sunday which the church has the authoirty to do.
JeffreyLloyd said:I gotta give it to ya however, great debate tactic, Daron
JeffreyLloyd said:I did answer it. Scripture supports Sunday Worship as well as Sacred Tradition.
We believe the authority rests with Christ's Church. They say we worship on Sunday... we worship on Sunday.
JeffreyLloyd said:Isaiah 1:13 - God begins to reveal His displeasure with the Sabbath.
<<<Yahuah was displeased with their appointed feasts. They turned and became pagans and sinners and had theire own Sababths.
Isa 1:10 Hear the word of Yahuah, You rulers of Sodom; Give ear to the law of our Elohim, You people of Gomorrah:
Isa 1:14 Your New Moons and your appointed feasts My soul hates;
They are a trouble to Me, I am weary of bearing them.
But these were not the Sabbaths of Yahuah!

<<< 1 Cor 16:2 On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come.
Each of them were commanded to save, lay aside, set a side, save money on the first day of the week. Nothing said about coming together on the 1st day of the week. Just set aside money on that day.>>>>

Heb 4:8-11 There remains therefore a rest for the people of Elohim. 10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as Elohim did from His.
11 Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.

<<< The change of the Law you speak of was just a transferral of the Law from the old earthly priesthood to the heavenly priesthood.
Heb 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law.
NT:3331 (Changed) metathesis (met-ath'-es-is); from NT:3346; transposition, i.e. transferral (to heaven), disestablishment (of a law):
Moving the laws of the preisthood to the heavens has nothing to do with the Sabbath, nor does it do away with the Perpetual covenant of the Sabbath.>>>>

Indeed this covenant was "forever" but forever to whom? With Israel and the children of Israel. I'd contend that not a single Jew in this day and age can claim they are of true Israelite lineage.Daron said:There was a perpetual covenant given, "The Seventh Day Sabbath," but it is said to have vanished away and another day, "The First Day" is observed. But how can this be true? Yahuah said the seventh day Sabbath was forever.
Ex 31:16-17 Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days Yahuah made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.' "
armothe said:Indeed this covenant was "forever" but forever to whom? With Israel and the children of Israel. I'd contend that not a single Jew in this day and age can claim they are of true Israelite lineage.
Thus, the covenant no longer applies. Mosaic Law and any covenants God had with the Israelites 3,500 years ago cannot be applied - because true Israel no longer exists.

Do you know who Ezekiel was? Do you know when he prophesied?Daron said:Yahuah does not agree with you!

Ezekiel lived ruing the Babylonia seige, capture, and exile of Judah.
He prophesied that they were to be punished (by the Babylonians) for straying from God. Later in his writings he brought hope to those in exile by promising that their remnant would return back to Jerusalem.
Guess what! In 538 BC the remnant of the Jews were allowed to return back to Jerusalem!
Prophecy, fulfilled.

Can you tell me by what authority they have been able to do this?
You may say it was Peter that gave it to you but show me from the Bible or tradition where it says that Peter or Christ authorised the change?

This is exactly what the Sabbath is . a sign between God and the Israel . . not between God and the gentiles . . It is part of the Old Covenant, not part of the New . .
Peace in Him!
thereselittleflower said:[/i]
Are you suggesting that I as a gentile am bound by the Sabbath sign of the Old Covenant?
Peace in Him!
Quite to the contrary . I believe the New Convenant is for everyone. So you are incorrect in your assumption.Daron said:Then you must also believe and teach the New Covenant is for the house of Yisrael and not for the Gentiles.
Let's look at that verse in context:Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says Yahuah: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their Elohim, and they shall be My people.
Of course, this is the letter written to the Hebrew's so it is focused on them and their relationship with God, not on the gentiles relationship with God . .Heb 8:1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
Heb 8:2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
Heb 8:3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
Heb 8:4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
Heb 8:5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
Heb 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
Heb 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
Heb 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
Heb 8:9 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.
Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
Heb 8:11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
Heb 8:12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
Heb 8:13 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.
We are not grafted into Israel . .we are grafted into Christ who is the root . . and we become partakers of Christ - of the root and the fatness of the olive tree . .Oh, you have not been grafted in? Is this correct?
Rom 11:12 For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,
NKJV
Rom 11:17 And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree,

As Jews under the Old Convenant . . Are you suggesting they remained under the Old Convenant after Jesus had established the New Convenant? Or that they were bound to the Old Covenant after Jesus established the New?Daron said:Was Mary (Mother of God?) and Peter (first pope?) of the House of Yisrael?
If so, they also observed the perpetual covenant, Correct?
