The law grants the knowledge of sin, not righteousness. The law notifies you, that you cannot be saved by the law because you are at enmity with God. That is why the sacrifices were an integral part of the law. The law cannot be obeyed by us. Not even Moses himself succeeded in that obedience.
Galatians 3:24-25
Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
We are now no longer under that tutor (the law).
Are you aware of the Historian Suetonius (A.D 69-122)?
HE explains that the reason why the Gentiles changed their day of worship from Saturday to Sunday was to distance themselves from the persecution of the Sabbath keeping Jews at the hands of Ceasar by hitting their religious finance coffers.
Samuel Bacchiocci is a scholar who was the first (and last after what he discovered and publiashed) non Catholic Scholar to be given access to the Vatican Archives.
"Bacchiocchi cites the report of the historian Suetonius that the emperor Claudius expelled all Jews from Rome (Suetonius, Claudius 25.4; cf. Acts 18:2). This was but one of several moves against the Jews that took place under different emperors, including the imposition of a rather onerous tax, the so-called temple tax. Thus, Gentile Christians at Rome would have every incentive to distinguish themselves as much as they could from Jews."
Bacchicchi finds evidence that they, in fact, choose to do this in the following two historical notes that come from the mid-fifth century (i.e., approximately a century after the time of Constantine the Great). In his Ecclesiastical History (VII 19), the historian Sozomen says, “The people of Constantinople, and almost everywhere, assembled together on the sabbath, as well as on the first day of the week, which custom is never observed at Rome or at Alexandria.” One might compare the comment of another historian of the Church, Socrates Scholasticus, in his Ecclesiastical History (V 22), “Almost all churches throughout the world celebrate sacred mysteries of the sabbath of every week, yet the Christians at Alexandria and at Rome, on account of some ancient tradition, do not do this.”
So whilst you continue to attempt to rustle up feeble incorrect interpretive tripe about why Gentile Christians worship on Sunday, the facts remain solid:
1. Jesus our teacher and master did not worship on that day himself
2. He did not state keep Sunday as the Sabbath in a commandment
3. He did not even setup a pre-death sunday worshiping church service (he knew his crucifixion was near)
4. Galations 3:28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
5. Vs 29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.(note that this promise was fulfilled with the birth of Isaac and he changed his name from Abram to Abraham)
Finally, the passage often quoted in support of sunday worship,
Acts 20:
7On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Since Paul was ready to leave the next day, he talked to them and kept on speaking until midnight...
11Then Paul went back upstairs, broke bread, and ate. And after speaking until daybreak, he departed"
You see the problem here dont you. There are at least two actually:
1. The bible days are stated in Genesis as "the evening and the morning" (paul speaking to midnight, then on until sunrise before leaving...eh hmm what day was that exactly? Sat night leaving Sunday morning, or Sunday Nite leaving Monday morning.
If Saturday night leaving on Sunday, then Paul "travelled" on Sunday the new day of worship,
If Sunday night leaving on Monday, then the meeting wasnt even on Sunday!
2. IF we are worshipping the day we break bread, agh crap, that was the last supper Jesus modelled to us. Oh no, that was before the crucifixion when Jesus said "eat/drink this in remembrance of me". Damn!
Sorry but your arguments are nothing more than nonsense not supported by biblical facts. The most supportive argument for worshipping sunday does not come from the Bible...its comes from the Catholic Churches own published statements (and anyone can freely access these).
