Appeal: Would you like to join me in observing this day of rest God created for the sake of humanity and as a memorial to His Creation?
Objection: I keep the Lord’s day . . .
Answer: The Sabbath is the Lord’s day. Mar 2:28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. [LORD OF THE SEVENTH DAY not the FIRST day.]
Objection: The New Testament doesn’t mention Christians keeping the seventh-day Sabbath . .
Answer: Matthew 24:20: Jesus prays that their flight may not be on the seventh-day Sabbath. Jesus expected His people to be Sabbath-keepers. [Because of this verse, one knows that the Sabbath was kept.]
Objection: How do we know that the Sabbath is still the Seventh-day Sabbath? Surely, there must have been some change . . .
Answer: Luke 23:54-56; 24:1-3: Jesus died on Friday, the Preparation Day, and observed the Sabbath day even in His death, which was “REST” on the seventh day, the Sabbath. He resurrected early on Sunday morning, before it was day break, as the pagans would have been waiting for the sun rise to worship their god.
Objection: How do we know that the seventh day is still on the right day notwithstanding all of the changes that have been made to the calendar in human history?
Answer: Luke 23:54-56; 24:1-3: Every time the Bible mentions Sabbath, you would have to deny that the Jews were worshipping on the right day for so many years.
Objection: Why do most Christians worship on Sunday?
Answer: Good question . . . There is one upcoming Bible study that will cover this topic. It will provide an explanation as to why there are such a plethora of dominations, disparity in denominational beliefs and explain why so many Christian churches observe Sunday instead of the seventh-day Sabbath.
Basically because they are paying “homage” to the Roman Catholic Church, per the Council of Trent. Protestantism “lost” at that council because they kept the first day Sunday for their worship day. When confronted by the bishops as to why they kept that day in defiance of scripture, they had NOT a leg to stand on, as they claimed “sola scriptura”, which means the scripture and the scripture alone, but because they kept Sunday, they were defeated at the council, because they “DID NOT” keep soley the scripture, and were shame faced before the council by the Roman prelates. Therefore Prostestantism to this day pays homage to ROME and the Holy Roman Catholic church, by keeping their day of worship ABOVE Gods written WORD.
2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
AMEN!
