Are professed Christians that worship our Lord on Sunday instead of Saturday sinning?

Hentenza · Tuesday at 6:55 PM

I’ve had several people that keep the sabbath argue that the sabbath is a moral commandment, therefore, those that do not worship on Saturday are sinning and consequently living in sin. The poll is self explanatory. If you choose maybe please post why.

Be blessed.

The Jerusalem Council (Acts 15) ruled that Gentiles do not have to convert to Judaism to become Christians, and Paul's letters are consistent with this ruling.

So let me get this straight. Pagans, don't have to convert to Judaism to practice Christianity (a sect of Judaism)?

Where can I find that in Acts 15?

What is sin?

If this poll was filled out by every single Christian in the world the results would likely be:

No = 95%

Yes or Maybe = 5%

I believe this falls within what Paul tells us of liberty in Galatians 5:1-26. The women worshiped the risen Lord at the end of the Sabbath ( Matthew 28:1-9).. Depending on one’s confession, it seems right to worship on the Sabbath or Resurrection day.

When did that help anyone during the days of Noah. God never goes by the majority He tells us this in His own words that the majority are wrong. Mat7:13-14

To him that knows to do right and does it not, to him it is sin. James 4:17
Rom 14 says whatever is not of faith in sin.

Very few people who use images in their prayer service or do other things like that are thinking "Well God says this is not the right in some way but I am good with that". We need to be careful about judging others.

There are probably several threads in Hamartology discussing this s very topic. For the purposes of this thread let’s define it as a transgression against God.

True.

Even so almost every Christian Confession of Faith admits that the Ten Commandments are included in the moral law of God, even for gentiles

That is the right question.

"Sin IS transgression of the Law" 1 John 3:4
Where "the first commandment with a promise is Honor your father and mother" Eph6:1-2

Not one text in the Bible calls the weekly Sabbath the "resurrection day" nor does any text say Christ was resurrected on Sabbath

Acts 2 says they met for worship and breaking bread "every day" but that did not change the Ten Commandments and make Sabbath , every day.

Very few Christians do not worship God "every day"

The Holy Spirit would get offended if you are sinning in a serious manner he does not by not doing the sabbath.

I had in mind Acts 15:1-35.

As @BobRyan has noted, Romans 14 also applies to this question.

Let the Bible speak for itself.

John defines sin as transgression of the law of God.

1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Paul defines the law as the Ten.

Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

The Sabbath is the fourth commandment in the Ten.

Jesus concerning tradition vs the Ten.

Matthew 15:13,16 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

What was it that Isaiah said?

Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

What was it that Jesus said?

Matthew 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

Apologies! I voted for 'no' on the basis that we worship everyday and one particular day of worship doesn't negate the other...didn't realize it was dedicated day of worship i.e. Sabbath being referred to.....

I don't know the answer so just disregard me!
