Is Sunday worship mark of the beast?

[UkraineGirl11]

yes, God's day is the Sabbath which from sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday. Its His holy day and his authority has been diminished by those who have decided to move that holy time to Sunday. Its totally unbiblical and a disgrace.

What is the "symbol in your right hand"? And what does that have to do with Sunday?

I'm thinkin' any ritualy or religiously practiced behaviour symbolizes belief(s) and the actual doing of it puts it 'in your right hand' - a place of personal control.
Sunday is the day preferred by 'the beast', however you nuance the definition.

I believe you would take a step in the right direction to determine when this alleged "change" in the sabbath took place. Then you might help us all understand how someone changed an ordinance after that ordinance lost jurisdiction over God's redeemed possession. Doesn't an entity need to exist concurrent to changing it?

Where do those concepts come from? Where does it say the "beast" prefers Sunday? I realize that many people do have ritualistic religious services on Sunday, but those who have their religious services on Saturday are very ritualistic as well. Do you think it is ok to worship the Lord in a non-ritualistic way on a Sunday or any other day? Or do you think all worship is ritualistic? Is ritualism the "mark of the beast"?

That would be really terrible if worshiping on Sunday was the mark of the beast. Could you imagine your final judgement and being told that "while you have been a faithful servant of Christ since you worshiped on a Sunday you will be damned to hell!"

No, this is the first I have heard of this idea and I can not recall any scripture that would support this idea.

I agree with all the above posts that say that worship should take place every day and in all ways, but I've always thought that the Christian day of observance is Sunday and not Saturday because that's the day of Jesus' resurrection, and I don't see the Mark of The Beast in recalling the resurrection.

Absolute garbage. Of course it isn't!

I tend to agree. Thks for responding

How about an invisible tiger with pink and blue stripes?

The Mark of the Beast
"The mark of the beast is a combination of letters and symbols that will be physically and permanently placed on your forehead or right hand. Most people will consider it an honor to receive the mark. It will be like a key for them that will open doors of acceptance, prosperity and peace.
The mark of the beast will be placed on people who worship the beast and choose to receive his mark. There will be severe penalties for refusing the mark and great rewards for getting it."

So I am not sure how worshipping the Lord any day of the week can be the mark of the beast.

We should worship the Lord every day.

Amen Sister!

This is the first time I have ever heard of it..
That being said, my next door neighbors are Seventh Day Adventists, and if they held with that doctrine, they sure haven't told me about it, and they share their beliefs with Patty and me quite often.

Perhaps not all SDAs agree on some theological things, except concerning the Sabbath and food laws.

Sunday worship is not the Mark of the Beast.

It is Sunday Sacredness. The act of sanctifying a day which God has not sanctified.

No one has the Mark of the Beast.

One only receives the Mark of the Beast once, AFTER, it has been enforced by law, and one "willfully" complies to this law to stay out of trouble and does not pledge allegiance to God's Constitution, the Ten Commandments by keeping the Sabbath Holy.

In the books of heaven, such will be "marked".

There seems to be a great misunderstanding of exactly what entails the Mark of the Beast, thinking that Adventists believe that worshiping on Sunday is the Mark.

This could not be further from the truth, and goes to show that many are still not understanding what the true orthodox position of Adventism is on this matter.

Therefore, this poll is not accurate, and it is impossible for me to vote.

Here is an article I wrote on the matter:

Is the Seal of God the Holy Spirit or the Law?

Ahhh...thanks for clarifying that.

Our devotion is what matters, not the day of the week.

I would agree with you there. However, our devotion will be reflected in our actions.

We can say we love our parents as much as we want, but if we do not help them or show them care, or give them some of our quality time, then they are vain words.

When we love God with all our hearts, minds, and souls, we will treat His day--his date with us--the Sabbath--as God would have us. It is sanctified. The word "sanctified" means "set aside for holy use".

So the Sabbath is a day for God's people to set aside for Holy use, and give Him the quality time that He deserves without so many distracting burdens of every day cares.

Of course, we will always be burdened down by the cares of this life. Things happen. Accidents happen. We spill milk on the Sabbath and we have to clean it up. Someone falls in a ditch, and we have to take them to the hospital. All these things are understandable to God. But God knows that at least we're not willfully going out of our way to conduct business on the Sabbath, sell, buy, and go to amusement parks. Also, our conversations will not be about whether our muffler in our car got replaced, and what brand of tires we have. The focus will be concentrated to the things of God, His handiworks, His creation, and we will dedicate that day to helping the poor, the sick, and being a blessing to those around us.

We will celebrate the day to the best of our abilities.
