Worshipping on Sunday is not Biblical at all...as you can see, even the American Tract Society and the American Sunday School Union admit that the Bible is "silent" on the observance of Sunday and the change of the Sabbath from the 7th to the 1st day of the week.

The American Tract Society and the American Sunday School Union admits “the complete silence of the New Testament so far as any explicit command for the Sabbath [Sunday, the first day of the week] or definite rules for its observance are concerned.”—George Elliott, The Abiding Sabbath, page 184.​

Another says: “Up to the time of Christ's death, no change had been made in the day;” and, “so far as the record shows, they [the apostles] did not ... give any explicit command enjoining the abandonment of the seventh-day Sabbath, and its observance on the first day of the week.”—A. E. Waffle, The Lord's Day, pages 186-188.
Do you think it really SAFE to follow TRADITION when God Himself CLEARLY says, "Remember the seventh day to keep it holy..."? He wrote that in STONE with His own FINGER.... It's the ONLY thing in the whole Bible that God wrote in STONE...and yet, 99% of Christians today say it doesn't matter which day you choose to keep holy...

The Sabbath was never a day of worship it is a day of rest.

The Law by Dr. Arnold G Fruchtenbaum. including teaching on the Sabbath. 26:30 time mark

You are supposed to WORK the other six days. The day you REST is the day you should worship on.

The Sabbath was never a day of worship it is a day of rest.
The Law by Dr. Arnold G Fruchtenbaum. including teaching on the Sabbath. 26:30 time mark​

The claim that the Sabbath is not a day of worship is not supported in the scriptures and is not biblical. Here let's show why from the scriptures.

According to the very Words of Jesus, no one is worships God by following man-made teachings and traditions of men that leads us away from God and his Word to break the commandments of God (see Matthew 15:2-9). We worship God by believing and following what Gods' Word says. God is a Spirit and those who worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth *John 4:23-24.

According to the scriptures, all of God's people all through time including Jesus and the Apostles worshiped God on the Sabbath according to the scriptures and according to the scriptures we will continue to do so in the new earth *Isaiah 66:22-23; see also Ezekiel 46:1-3; Luke 4:16; Acts of the Apostles 16:13; Matthew 28:1; Mark 2:27-28; Acts of the Apostles 17:2. According to the scriptures we are free to worship God every day of the week as the early disciples did in Acts of the Apostles 2:47. That does not however make everyday of the week a holy day of rest where no work is to be done now does it *Exodus 20:8?

God's 4th commandment is one of Gods 10 commandments (Exodus 20:1-17) that give us the knowledge of good (moral right doing) and evil (moral wrong doing); sin (moral wrong doing) and righteousness (moral right doing) *Romans 3:20; Romans 7:7; 1 John 3:4; Psalms 119:172 and if we knowingly break any one of them according to James we stand guilty before God of sin according to James 2:8-11. According to the scriptures if God gives us a knowledge of the truth of His Word and we harden our heart to believing what God's Word says there remains no more sacrifice for sin but a fearful looking forward to of the judgement to come which will devour the adversaries *Hebrews 10:26-31.

This is why it is written in the scriptures; "Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters." - Revelation 14:7. No one worships God according to the scriptures by following man-made teachings and traditions that break the commandments of God. Our God is a Spirit and those who worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth (John 4:23-24). God is calling us out from following man-made teachings and traditions that lead us away from His Word to break the commandments of God back to the pure Word of God *Revelation 18:1-5. God's sheep hear His voice (the Word) and follow him. Those who do not hear and follow are not His sheep according to John 10:26-27.

I did not only post examples of Jesus and the Apostles worshiping God on the Sabbath in the new testament, I also posted scripture references directly applying God's Sabbath as a day of worship! Perhaps you missed them. Here let me post them in full so they are easier to read so you can see what I was referring to.

Ezekiel 46:1-3 [1], THUS SAID THE LORD GOD; The gate of the inner court that looks toward the east shall be shut the six working days; BUT ON THE SABBATH IT SHALL BE OPENED, AND IN THE DAY OF THE NEW MOON IT SHALL BE OPENED. [2], And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and HE SHALL WORSHIP AT THE THRESHOLD OF THE GATE: THEN HE SHALL GO FORTH; BUT THE GATE SHALL NOT BE SHUT UNTIL THE EVENING. [3], Likewise THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND SHALL WORSHIP AT THE DOOR OF THIS GATE BEFORE THE LORD IN THE SABBATHS and in the new moons.

and again here....

Isaiah 66:22-23 [22], For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, SAID THE LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. [23], And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and FROM ONE SABBATH TO ANOTHER, SHALL ALL FLESH COME TO WORSHIP BEFORE ME, said the LORD.

Note: the scriptures above is God saying that the Sabbath is a day of worship.
So please do not make claims that God's 4th commandment is not about worship when the scriptures clearly show that God's 4th commandment is all about who we worship.

Take Care.

Do you think it really SAFE to follow TRADITION when God Himself CLEARLY says, "Remember the seventh day to keep it holy..."? He wrote that in STONE with His own FINGER.... It's the ONLY thing in the whole Bible that God wrote in STONE...and yet, 99% of Christians today say it doesn't matter which day you choose to keep holy...
So many errors in so few words.
  1. No, it is not safe to follow tradition over Scripture … fortunately we have the writings of the Apostles (Lord of the sabbath and Let no one judge you for the sabbath … you know the verses).
  2. The same God also said not to shave: Is it safe to shave? The same God commanded us to be circumcised: is it safe to have a foreskin? The same God commanded us to kill a lamb every Easter: Is it safe to have lasagna? (You are selective in your dogmatic obedience).
  3. The other 9 commandments were written in stone, Moses smashed the stones, and new stones were made to replace them. God also wrote on the stone wall in Daniel.
  4. Most Christians believe that every day is holy … we have entered into the Sabbath of the Lord. Nobody believes that Sunday is the Sabbath (Saturday). Many Christians choose to gather on various days of the week: a large Church near me has a Saturday Service for those that work on Sunday (like Nurses, police, fire fighters, etc.), a Sunday Service (three actually) and a Wednesday Service (for those that want to praise God in the company of others on a Wednesday). It is hard to imagine the wrath of God burning against people that choose to love and honor Him on a day that YOU disapprove of.

The claim that the Sabbath is not a day of worship is not supported in the scriptures and is not biblical.
That claim would be stronger if you included at least ONE verse to back it up. Otherwise it is just empty rhetoric countered with equally empty … “Yes it is.”

You did not read the post you were quoting from did you.

It is hard to imagine the wrath of God burning against people that choose to love and honor Him on a day that YOU disapprove of.

What errors would that be? Where is the scriptures that say Gods' 4th commandment of the 10 commandments have now been abolished and we are now commanded to keep Sunday or the first day of the week as a holy day in honor of the resurrection of Jesus? - There is none. Sunday worship is a man-made teaching and tradition that has led many away from God and His Word to break the commandments of God. According to Jesus in Matthew 15:3-9 if we follow man-made teachings and traditions that break the commandments of God we are now worshiping God. So the question remains if we are following man-made teachings and traditions that lead us to break the commandments of God who are we worshiping, God or man?

Straight from The 10 Commandments about the Sabbath and i see no mention of worship. A person keeps the Sabbath Holy, by not working, not by worshiping

“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

Do you think God wants us to worship on a day that God said is holy for Him and for us Exodus 20:10, Isaiah 58:13 Exodus 20:8 (indisputable) a day that God blessed and sanctified (indisputable) Genesis 2:1-3 or in your opinion do you think your worship of the Holy Father is better suited on a day God deemed to do all our work and labor for Him and for us? Exodus 20:9, Genesis 1 (indisputable)

God spoke His law and wrote His law that the Sabbath day is the day we are to keep holy because it is holy to God, should this even be an argument?

The Sabbath was never a day of worship it is a day of rest.

Lev 23:3 it was a day of "holy convocation".... which is worship.

Is 66:23 It is to continue to be a day of worship - for all eternity after the cross in the New Earth "from Sabbath to Sabbath shall all mankind come before Me to worship"

Now your just making stuff up.
That is the way I understand it ~
Exo 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

Exo 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

Exo 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

I quoted the post I read in its entirety.
I am not responsible if people go back and edit it.
No one edited the post before you posted. If you read the post why were you asking for scripture that was already provided?

There is no noted connection between worshiping day and resting day, as you claimed. It's ok for you to think that, but you're just making it up.

The Narrow Way said:
You are supposed to WORK the other six days. The day you REST is the day you should worship on.
