Which Day Is The Christian Sabbath?

I think that the answser is that the gentiles knew that paul was jewish and when they asked him to preach to them it would have been logical to ask him to preach on what had been the common Jewish day for worship.

I have ran into many who claim that the Sabbath is for the church as well as the Jew. However in EVERY case I have never found a single person who claims to keep the sabbath or trys to convionce others to keep the sabbath keeping it themselves. Keeping the Sabbath is much more then just attending a service on Saturday.

However in all reality the sabbath was for the Jew, not the church and we can come together any day we choose. If we choose Saturday it is fine and if we choose Sunday or any other day it too is fine. However if we try and teach that the church is under the sabbath law, that is not fine since we are under grace.

 

The sabbath is nothing more than the ceremonial sign of the Old Covenant. If you wish to live under that old system, you are embracing an abomination.

 

Neither Saturday or Sunday. Our Sabbath is not a day but a Person---Christ.

Praise God!!!
Hebrews 4: 1-10

 

I agree with Tony,
A Christian rested in the perfect works of Jesus Chrsit seven days a week 24 hours a day.

Wopik,
Are you rally a Baptist? Why does your web site point to Herbert W. Armstrong's cult?

 

Wopik,

It is the "day" in which we live.

I hope that one day you will let go of these OT shadows and find full Sabbath rest in Christ's finished work.

Tim

P.S. to BT & RK--we agree.

 

Tim,

Who would have thought it? Actually, I am certain we agree on more than we disagree. It is great to be able to share with brothers & sisters.

Blessings on Everyone as they meet to celebrate our risen Lord tomorrow.

Bro Tony

 

If my memory serves me right.....I believe wopik belongs to a church down in Texas and it may NOT be a Baptist Church. It seems to me that wopik and I had a similar conversation a long time ago on the same issue. Lets see if wopik answers the question: Are you really a Baptist? May I add...wopik where do you attend regularly?

Thanks ------Bart

 

There is no biblically ordained "Christian Sabbath". Jews commemorate the Sabbath starting Friday at sundown to Saturday at Sundown. The early church made Sunday the official day for Christian worship and rest, but there is no biblically ordained gentile sabbath day. However, we're commanded to keep the Sabbath day holy via commadment (which applies to all Jews and Gentiles). In the NT, Paul tells us not to allow ourselves to be judged by which day we keep the sabbath day on. In addition, we're told consistently in the NT to worship the Lord constantly, not just on one day.

In short, we're commanded worship every day, and to rest one day in seven. But which day in seven is for us to decide, so long as we rest one day in seven.

 

Again, the sabbath is the ceremonial sign of the OLD covenant.

I don't have to rest any day.

The 10 commandments have been replaced by a higher law. Why people want to settle for a damning system I will never know.

 

Maybe Wopik hangs out with the Seventh Day Baptist Church, a bona fide Baptist Church that meets on the Sabbath.

As I see it the church met daily, every day.

The whole idea of the Sunday Sabbath and having church meetings to observe it is a Roman Catholic idea. The early church were probably more like the Anabaptist - Hutterite groups where the belivers live together and have possesions in common to some degree.

I would still say that you should rest one day in the week and I feel that the Bible does say that in Genesis 2:3. It says that God Consecrated the seventh day rest, prior to the Judaism Law. When the jewish law of circumscion was changed, it gets nearly a chapter. It would not be unresonable for something as big as the suspension of the sabbath rest should at least be mentioed.

It has been my experience that often people argue against the seventh day rest with blinkers on. The case usually being that people are so keen to disprove the Seventh Day Adventist Church that they go totally against anything that the church teaches simply to prove them wrong on it.

 

Yes you do. God designed your body to require a minimum of one day in seven to rest. Failure to rest results in ill health effects.

That would be:
1 - Love the Lord with all your heart... (which the first three, and part of the fourth, helps us do).
2 - Love your neighbor as yourself (which the last six, and part of the fourth, helps us do).

The Ten Commandments are by no means damning. They're liberating. I suppose they're damning if you follow them to achieve salvation, but they're liberating if you follow them as a result of salvation.

 

Mark 2:27
"And He said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath."
The Sabbath was made for man, not just for the Jews.

 

"If you wish to live under that old system, you are embracing an abomination."
"Why people want to settle for a damning system I will never know."

David, why do hate God's Law so much? As far as your comments go, I think you should correct some wayward people, like King David and the Apostle Paul. If you ever happen to see King David, you could tell him that he was wrong in saying, "O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day." Ps 119:97. You could also inform the Apostle Paul that he was in great error in making the following statement: "Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good." Romans 7:12

 

You're goofy. Romans 14:5, Colossians 2:16.
