sunday

Hello! This could be a "church fathers" thread, but since a similar one I did before was moved, I'll just post here. The following article claims that Theophilus (Patriarch of Antioch from 169 to 182) taught that Christians must keep the Sabbath: Theophilus of Antioch – 160-180s AD The main...

Brothers and sisters, happy Sabbath! No translation has understood the "expression" of God: "the first of the Sabbaths". It does not refer to Sunday but to Saturday being the first Sabbath, another way of referring to the seventh day of the creation week. This is necessary because the Sabbath...

Brothers and Sisters, speaking of the first day in these forums, I have highlighted that the end of the first day was a “morning”, in capital letters below, when my brothers in Christ have focused on what they think is the beginning of the first day. And God said, “Let there be light,” and...

Origen is the earliest Christian author to write whole books of theology. Since keeping the sabbath, or Saturday worship versus Sunday worship, has been debated so many times on CF, what did Origen say about worshiping on the sabbath? Origen did not see a need to keep the Jewish sabbath...

Hello!, I need some help on a topic that has been making me go back and forth. Can Christians work on sunday? Please do provide scripture for either answer. I really do appreciate it! I also put up a poll too!

I'm doing a Bible Study at the SDA church now. It is called Amazing Facts and I am enjoying it a lot. The Methodist church does not have as many Bible Studies as the SDA church does around here. So I feel the need to go to the SDA church. Also, The Revelation is my Fav Book in the Bible, and I...

If because I’m a Christian I say I think shops should be closed on Sundays to honour God’s fourth commandment, people smile at me as if I’m simple minded and tell me I’m old fashioned. If because I’m a Christian I say I think homosexual practice is wrong, people bombard me with death threats...

Some argue that there is no command in NT or OT to keep week-day-1 holy or to assemble for worship every week-day-1 or to be careful to have communion "every week-day-1". But what about "Sabbath"? Is Sabbath mentioned in the NT? oh that's right "Do no take God's name in vain" Ex 20:7 --...

Hello! I'm very curious about this topic! Hey, so I'm pretty young in my (new) faith, considering becoming an ex-adventist after 18 years (I am 18) because now that I'm away from home, I have been reading the Bible for MYSELF and not listening to what people tell me like how it was in the past...

Hi to all. A thread to post the texts of scripture that relate to the sabbath in the bible. A poll to see what people believe about which day the sabbath is. Please vote before posting. Is the sabbath relevant? If so, who is it relevant for? If not, what was the purpose of it and for whom...

666 & Mark of the Beast; & The 7th Day the Sabbath of the LORD, the Sign and Seal of JEHOVAH God The Sign & Seal of God: Exodus 20:8 KJB - Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Exodus 20:9 KJB - Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: Exodus 20:10 KJB - But the...

Many Christians, particularly those in Evangelical circles would say that Sunday is like the "Christian Sabbath" in which people must come to church and refrain from work. This was seen at Puritan colonies in New England. This eventually evolved to Sunday Laws in the US. The laws forbid working...

This one should be easy. There is in fact one area where almost everyone agrees. On all the debate threads about the Ten Commandments and the Sabbath Commandment, the Law of God written on the heart under the New Covenant of Jeremiah 31:31-33 -- what is the ONE point that in the modern age...

Catholic answers - address this question about "changing" the Sabbath from one day to another in this way And of course - Catholic Answers weighs in on the topic as well "While it is true that there is no New Testament record of a voice from the heavens instructing the infant Church, "Thou...

John said, "I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet" (Revelation 1:10, NKJV). Mainstream Christianity argues that John, in speaking of "the Lord's Day," was referring to "Sunday"— the first day of the week. Question: What biblical proof is...

What I find amazing when talking to some Christians. They use human reasoning to decide they don't have to do what God clearly tells them. So they say 9 commandments must be kept, but if you say they need to keep the 4th commandment the Sabbath day, they say you are "legalistic" or are trying...

The pagan Roman Julian/Gregorian calendar that we now use was only created in 45 BC, before this time it did not exist. Therefore, the current 7 day rolling week we currently use only began at that time. Before this date the Romans (Just in the Provence of Rome) were using a calendar with an 8...

Catholic answers - address this question about "changing" the Sabbath from one day to another. Catholic Answers sets the record straight with some wishful thinking added in at the last? (that quote was also from the same link as posted above) They "of course" fail to find even ONE text...
