The Sabbath Day: Who changed it to Sunday?
Sunday is considered by the vast majority of the world of “Christianity” as the day of worship. Early Roman Christianity changed the day of worship from the seventh day Sabbath to Sunday.
Romans 14:5-6 and the Sabbath Day
Paul did not want to offend new converts, he instead wanted them to look at the more important aspects of salvation (Rom. 14:9). We are all to give an account to God and Paul wanted no one to put any type of a stumbling block in the way of new converts.
Galatians 4:8-11 and the Sabbath Day
Since they were Gentiles what were the “days, and months, and time, and years” they went back to? They went back to mixing their prior days of pagan worship with the Sabbath and Holy Days of God.
Revelation 1:10 and the Sabbath Day
What is meant by “in the Spirit”? The apostle John saw a vision from Jesus Himself explaining what was to come before His (Christ’s) return. God has used “visions” throughout history to show man what is to come.
Alcohol
What does God have to say about drinking alcoholic beverages? Is alcohol even in the Bible? “Wine” appears 273 times and “strong drink” over 500 times.
Homosexuality
This is the purpose of mankind-to be a part of the family of God. Only males and females can create children for this glorious purpose of mankind. God wants us in His family.
Smoking
It is clear we should do what we can to take care of our bodies for the glory of God. Smoking is harmful to our bodies and therefore defiles our bodies.
I Corinthians 16:1-3 and the Sabbath Day
God made the Sabbath day at creation. It was the seventh day of the week. No human can change what God made or the order in which He made things.
Hebrews 4:9 and the Sabbath Day
Heb. 4:9 “There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.” Does this verse mean the Sabbath Day has been fulfilled and no longer needs to be kept by Christians? Answer: No, it is to be kept by Christians.
Two Trees, Our Choice
He wants us to choose Him and His way of living. It is “His good pleasure to give us the Kingdom” (Luke 12:32). God wants us in His loving family but it is our choice to make. Will we obey Him?
