bro they used to worship on Sunday too..by worshipping the sun on that day…they named all the days of the week by their gods.. Thursday-thunder God Sunday-sun god Saturday-Saturn But the thing is that worshipping on Saturday was before pagans worshiped their God on that day..because it was instituted by God not man .. -He speaks of people gathering on a day how does that change the day from Saturday to Sunday .. 1 Corinthians 16:2 "On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come. This verse doesn’t mean that the sabbath day was changed And in acts when they broke bread on that day..still doesn’t give evidence that the day was changed ..I can break bread on Monday and that doesn’t mean that the day was changed The other problem is that putting in a 8th day just doesn’t make sense and brings a lot of confusion because according to the Bible itself ..Christ did not die on a Saturday but on a Friday And another problem is that yes ..we are not saved by any works but by Grace trough faith..for if we were saved by works Jesus wouldn’t need to die for us …But Paul in Romans 6:15-16 15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. 16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? And we know that sin is the transgression of the law 1 John 3:4..so if we sin that brings death but if we obey..the commandments that God made including the sabbath comes righteousness Just because Christian writes lord use it as the Lords day doesn’t mean that they were correct..because as He rightly said the Lords day would be the sabbath Isaiah 58:13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Jesus did fullfilled the sacrificial laws..which had to deal with the feast days and sacrifices etc ..Jesus certainly did not to come to fulfill the weekly sabbath becuase that would mean as-well that He would fulfill killing people and having other gods-because those are some of the laws and the Bible says if you break one you break all- James 2:10

Κατὰ κυριακὴν δὲ κυρίου συναχθέντες κλάσατε ἄρτον καὶ εὐχαριστήσατε, προεξομολογησάμενοι τὰ παραπτώματα ὑμῶν, ὅπως καθαρὰ ἡ θυσία ὑμῶν ᾐ. 2. πᾶς δὲ ἔχων τὴν ἀμφιβολίαν μετὰ τοῦ ἑταίρου αὐτοῦ μὴ συνελθέτω ὑμῖν, ἕως οὗ διαλλαγῶσιν, ἵνα μὴ κοινωθῇ ἡ θυσία ὑμῶν. 3. αὕτη γάρ ἐστιν ἡ ῥηθεῖσα ὑπὸ κυρίου· Ἐν παντὶ τόπὼ καὶ χρόνῳ προσφέρειν μοι θυσίαν καθαράν. ὅτι βασιλεὺς μέγας εἰμί, λέγει κύριος, καὶ τὸ ὄνομά μου θαυμαστὸν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι.” The translation I’m getting is this: “XIV 1. And on the Lord's Sunday, gathered together, you broke bread and gave thanks, confessing your transgressions beforehand, just as your sacrifice was pure. 2. But whoever has the doubt with his partner, I do not gather with you, until they change, so that your sacrifice is not shared. 3. For this is the one who spoke from the Lord: In every place and time they offer me a pure sacrifice. for I am a great king, says the Lord, and my name is wonderful among the nations.” Now granted this is using translation software, but it does in fact - if accurate - say the Lord’s Day - or Sunday here. This is from Early Church Texts on Ignatius’ Letter to the Magnesians: “IX. Εἰ οὖν οἱ ἐν παλαιοῖς πράγμασιν ἀναστραφέντες εἰς καινότητα ἐλπίδος ἦλθον, μηκέτι σαββατίζοντες, ἀλλὰ κατὰ κυριακὴν ζῶντες, ἐν ᾗ καὶ ἡ ζωὴ ἡμῶν ἀνέτειλεν δι' αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῦ θανάτου αὐτοῦ, ὅν τινες ἀρνοῦνται, δι' οὗ μυστηρίου ἐλάβομεν τὸ πιστεύειν, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ὑπομένομεν, ἵνα εὑρεθῶμεν μαθηταὶ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ μόνου διδασκάλου ἡμῶν· πῶς ἡμεῖς δυνησόμεθα ζῆσαι χωρὶς αὐτοῦ, οὗ καὶ οἱ προφῆται μαθηταὶ ὄντες τῷ πνεύματι ὡς διδάσκαλον αὐτὸν προσεδόκων; καὶ διὰ τοῦτο, ὃν δικαίως ἀνέμενον, παρὼν ἤγειρεν αὐτοὺς ἐκ νεκρῶν.” Here is the translation I’d gotten again using translation software: “IX. So those who in the old things turned to new hope came, not keeping the Sabbath, but living on the Sunday, in which our life arose because of him and his death, whom they deny, through whom we received the sacrament they believe, and because of this let us persevere, that we may be disciples of Jesus Christ our only teacher: how can we live without him, to whom also the prophets are disciples of the spirit as teachers of him who come?” Twice therefore the Lord’s Day or Sunday is referenced. Thoughts? 🤔

I am an ex-Seventh Day Adventist currently in the process of converting to Catholicism. Thank you for your video Joe! Many Seventh-Day Adventists will acknowledge that there were Christian gatherings before Constantine, they assert that no Christians saw it as a rest day until Constantine passed his Sunday rest law. We have evidence from as early as the 200's to dispute this assertion, in 220AD Origen says “On Sunday none of the actions of the world should be done. If then, you abstain from all the works of this world and keep yourselves free for spiritual things, go to church, listen to the readings and divine homilies, meditate on heavenly things. (Homil. 23 in Numeros 4, PG 12:749). Understanding what the purpose of the Sabbath actually was helped me in overcoming this objection I had as an Adventist. Adventists generally assert that the Seventh-Day Sabbath was a creation ordinance and because of this, passages like Romans 14 and Colossians 2 cannot apply to the weekly Sabbath. There are no passages in the Bible establishing the weekly Sabbath before Exodus 16. The Sabbath command was meant to be a sharing in God's rest and was given as a sign to Israel in Exodus 31:13. The Sabbath was the sign of the covenant and was only given to the Israelites at Sinai and not to their fathers (Deuteronomy 5:3). The Sabbath is fulfilled in the rest that we enter into when we enter into Jesus' rest "9 So then, there remains a sabbath rest for the people of God; 10 for whoever enters God’s rest also ceases from his labors as God did from his." Hebrews 4:9,10. The context of Hebrews 4 makes it clear that the rest is "Today" and not only on the Seventh day. Because the Sabbath is a command that was given to the Israelites as part of the Mosaic covenant, it could not have been changed by those who were never in the Mosaic covenant. The Christian church has always gathered together and celebrated the resurrection on the first day of the week (John 20:26-28, Acts 20:7, Didache 14:1, Epistle of Barnabas 15:6-8, Justin's Apology). The quotes from Catholics the are usually given as part of the Adventist argument for the change of the Sabbath do not take into account what is actually meant by them. Those Catholic writers do not mean that the Church changed the Sabbath to Sunday in the 300's, they mean that the Church started to gather together on the first day starting in the first century. Since we believe in Apostolic Succession, the Church believes that the Apostles were Catholic and since they started celebrating the resurrection on the First day, the church instituted this. Adventists believe that Sunday keeping will be the mark of the beast described in Revelation 13:16-18. They believe, from the Great Controversy written by Ellen White, that in the end times there will be a national Sunday law passed in the United States. This law will compel all to worship on the "Papal Sabbath" and desecrate "God's Sabbath." That is why some Seventh-day Adventists are so rabid about promoting the Sabbath. They believe that this Sunday law will be passed and eventually everyone will come and hunt them down since they are not worshipping on Sunday. For any Adventist who happens to be reading this: Catholics do not believe that there is only one day of worship, we have public worship every day and even have public worship on Saturdays. Adventists believe that the Papacy was "allowed to exercise authority" from 538-1798 based on the prophecies of Daniel 7:25 and Revelation 13:5. For "Sunday worship" to be the sign of papal authority as claimed by Ellen White, it would have to be something with unique origin and enforcement from the papacy. That is simply not the case, the Adventist scholar Samuele Bacchiocchi in his book "From Sabbath to Sunday" acknowledges that gatherings on Sunday were happening as early as the second century. The Papacy could not enforce a mark of its authority 400 years before it even existed according to your historical account. The Papacy is still around and allowed to exercise authority today. For any Adventists: how is Pope Pius VI being taken captive in 1798 the fatal wound if Pope Boniface VIII was taken captive in a similar way in 1303. I thank God for leading me into the fullness of truth in his Church and pray more Adventists will come to see the truth as I did.

@@nick2658 Q: "bro they used to worship on Sunday too..by worshipping the sun on that day…they named all the days of the week by their gods.. ..." A: Cite a primary historical source that says that the Romans worshipped the sun on Sunday before 100 A.D. and show that that is where Christians adopted that practice from. In Greek, the name of the first day of the week is Kiriaki or Lord's. The ancient Romans did not have weekly worship services and rest days, they had religious festivals throughout the year. Historian Philip Schaff on the celebration of the Lord's Day: The celebration of the Lord’s Day in memory of the resurrection of Christ dates undoubtedly from the apostolic age. Nothing short of apostolic precedent can account for the universal religious observance in the churches of the second century. There is no dissenting voice. This custom is confirmed by the testimonies of the earliest post-apostolic writers, as Barnabas, Ignatius, and Justin Martyr. It is also confirmed by the younger Pliny. The Didache calls the first day "the Lord’s Day of the Lord." (Schaff, 60. The Lord’s Day.) Q: "But the thing is that worshipping on Saturday was before pagans worshiped their God on that day..because it was instituted by God not man .." A: Before Hillel II, the week was based on the new moon cycle. So if you want to celebrate Sabbath on the day that the Jews did in the time of Jesus, you have to observe the new moon sabbaths as there is no scriptural or pre-Christian tradition support for changing that practice. According to Jewish calculations, the creation of the world began on a Monday in the Gregorian calendar, which makes Sunday the seventh-day of creation in our calendar. Q: "-He speaks of people gathering on a day how does that change the day from Saturday to Sunday .. " A: You cited verses that I didn't even quote, showing that you made no attempt to actually address my point. The whole point is that its not a one-to-one Saturday to Sunday change. All the Sabbaths were part of the old covenant, there is no scriptural support to suggest otherwise (Colossians 2:16-17). If you look into the Sabbath command in Deuteronomy 5 and Exodus 20, you will see that the Sabbath celebrated both creation and deliverance from Egypt and was given to the Israelites. The celebration of the first day of the week is something that has Apostolic support and you have to grant that they had the authority to start that practice. Q: "Just because Christian writes lord use it as the Lords day doesn’t mean that they were correct..because as He rightly said the Lords day would be the sabbath." A: When analyzing word's in the original language of the Bible you need to compare phrases and word's together. "Kyriake hemera" is a hapax legomenon (a term only used once) just like "theopneustos" of 2 Timothy 3:16 both of which we rely on how they were used in other writings at the time for its interpretation. The day of the Lord is not the same as the Lord's day in the Greek and should not be treated as if they are interchangeable. Q: "And we know that sin is the transgression of the law 1 John 3:4..so if we sin that brings death but if we obey..the commandments that God made including the sabbath comes righteousness " A: There is still law in the new covenant, but it has changed because of the change in priesthood. Hebrews 7:11-12 "11 Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron? 12 For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well." Q: "Jesus did fullfilled the sacrificial laws..which had to deal with the feast days and sacrifices etc ..Jesus certainly did not to come to fulfill the weekly sabbath becuase that would mean as-well that He would fulfill killing people and having other gods-because those are some of the laws and the Bible says if you break one you break all- James 2:10" A: Catholics are not antinomians. All of the Mosaic laws have been fulfilled, but the moral principles of the Old Law are always applicable because they are moral principles given by God, always a reflection of his character. The law of God is more than just the ten commandments: Matthew 22:36-40 "36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”" All of the Sabbaths have been fulfilled, Catholics still keep the moral principle behind the sabbath commandment as the thing being celebrated and the day are both ceremonial parts of the command. We give God one day out of seven and take time to celebrate the resurrection and celebrate the practice that he enjoined on us "Do this in remembrance of me." (Luke 22:19)

@@nick2658 Q: yes so why is the moral of the Old Testament done but not the-sabbath?-the sabbath is the only commandment that speaks for us to remember and most of the world are forgetting about it… A: The remember of this commandment makes the thing being remembered a ceremonial command which has been superseded in Christ and has work. There is a new creation that has already begun. Colossians 2:16-17 "16 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a sabbath. 17 These are only a shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ." 2 Corinthians 5:17 "17 Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation;[a] the old has passed away, behold, the new has come." Q: This tells us that the Sabbath day remains and I want to ask you this..Who changed the day from Saturday to Sunday? A: You're not fully accounting for the context of this passage. Hebrews 4:4 "For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way, “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works." God once has appointed a rest from his works on the seventh day. Hebrews 4:7 "again he sets a certain day, “Today,” saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted, “Today, when you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.” We see in verse 7 that there is a day that is appointment by God, "today," in which we are supposed to enter his rest. Hebrews 4:8 "8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God[b] would not speak later of another day. " In this verse there is another day in which God plans gives us his rest, "today". Hebrews 4:9-10 " 9 So then, there remains a sabbath rest for the people of God; 10 for whoever enters God’s rest also ceases from his labors as God did from his." There is a sabbatismos (the blessed rest from toils and troubles looked for in the age to come by the true worshippers of God and true Christians - from NAS lexicon) that remains for the people of God, on this today appointed by God. Hebrews 4:11 11 Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, that no one fall by the same sort of disobedience. When we come to Christ we enter into this rest: Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

What was Sabbath in preparation for according to Judaism? “The Sabbath is the day of preparation for the banquet which will be laid out in the Olam Haba when Messiah comes we will feast on the 8th day.” - Rabbi Yakov (Teacher of Judah haNasi/the writer of the Mishna) Jesus is Messiah and he has already arrived, lived, died and resurrected. As Catholics, we are living in the Messianic Olam Haba. God has put before us His feast on the 8th day, the Eucharistic sacrifice of thanksgiving. The seventh day = sabbath. So the eighth day is the day that they were preparing for. This is why in the NT the first day is also known as the 8th day as it follows the Sabbath. In the messianic Olam Haba the day of worship is going to be the Eighth day/First day/Sunday when the Eucharistic banquet is set by God. To worship on Saturday instead of Sunday is to deny that we are living in the Messianic Age. It is a denial that Christ is the Messiah. If one is Jewish ie Hebrew Catholic it is fine to take part in Sabbath activities but the Sabbath must not replace the day of worship which is Sunday. How is this to be understood? The seventh day (Sabbath) is the day of preparation for the day that is to come in the Messianic Olam Haba (Sunday). God Himself will lay out the banquet. It is the Eucharist, the sacrifice of thanksgiving which the sages prophesied. The Pharisees were upset when Jesus did “works” of healing on the Sabbath. Jesus healed on a Sabbath because He is the Lord of the Sabbath, the Sabbath has no power over Christ or His Church. It is the Jewish apostles who began worshiping on the Eighth Day/Sunday (according to Jewish calendar)... the day following the Sabbath, because the Sabbath is now fulfilled. Foolish of followers of Christ to want to continue worshipping on Saturdays when they have no idea why/what Sabbath was originally designed for. When Christ spoke about the 10 Commandments and named them He never said keep the Sabbath because He knew His day with the New Covenant would change. The Sabbath is the Old Covenant.

Dear J. H.; I remember watching a Protestant trying to defend Saturday Worship. He was reading a stiry from Acts the one where the guy falks out the window and dies. The highlights everything starts on the Sabbath, and when evening came they Broke Bread. He must not have been taught that evenings divide the Jewish day (still does). So the Worship mentioned actually happens on Sunday. To our Orthodox Brethren (P.S. I love the term Orthobros) this is verse is proof text and allows Catholics to Worship on Saturday evening since that is Biblical. Sincerely in Xto Mike B. B. From Philly, P.A. U.S.A.

I remember Jimmy Akin doing two Mysterious Worlds episodes on Ellen White in regards to her prophet/prophecy claims and evaluating if she meets those tests. It’s still weird to me how people are quick to try and figure out the End Times instead of living everyday like their last day or taking time to enjoy God’s creation. Makes me pity them actually. As to Sunday vs Saturday worship, it seems pretty clear to me why Sunday is the Lord’s Day and why the Sabbath remains on Saturday. Jesus died on Friday and rose again on Sunday, so it makes sent to celebrate the day He resurrected. The Sabbath is a day of rest and preparation for that promised Messiah. So why would the early Christians observe the Sabbath when it’s purpose has been fulfilled? Just doesn’t make sense to me. Also, days of the week have a mix of Greek and Norse elements, at least in the English calendar: Saturday- Saturn’s Day Sunday- Sun’s Day Monday- Moon’s Day Tuesday- Tyr’s Day (a Norse god known for losing his hand to the giant wolf Fenrir) Wednesday- Woden’s Day (Odin, the king of the Asgard gods) Thursday- Thor’s Day (the Norse god of thunder) Friday- Freya’s Day (a Norse goddess, can’t remember her big thing right now The whole naming convention would have to be wiped in English if we don’t want to tie anything to pagan or non-Christian roots, which would be difficult and would require an overhaul of the languages in general.

"The Sabbath is a day of rest and preparation for that promised Messiah." The early Christians observed the Sabbath because "The Sabbath is a day of delightful communion with God and one another. It is a symbol of *our redemption in Christ,* a sign of our sanctification, a token of our allegiance, and a foretaste of our eternal future in God's kingdom."

1. That the Adventists do not keep the sabbath. Keeping the sabbath requires the following: 😂😂 (1) Doing no work. (Ex. 20:9-10) (2) No baking or boiling. (Ex. 16:23) (3) Bearing no burden. (Jer. 17:21-22) (4) Offering two lambs. (Num. 28:9-10) If they argue that these things were abolished because they are not in the ten commandments, why then do they refuse to eat pork? There is no prohibition against eating pork in the ten commandments. The doctrine of abstaining from meat today is of the devil. (1 Tim. 4:1-4) 2. That the Seventh-day Adventist Church denomination is not in the Bible. 3. That they are "deceitful workers." (2 Cor. 11:13) They conceal their identity as long as possible in their personal work, and their broadcasts and public services are presented under titles that do not reveal their true identity. 4. That Adventists assume the major premise in nearly all that they teach. With love for their souls, I cry out, "Come out from this error!" Study the Scriptures -- prove all things! knowing that the sabbath is nowhere commanded under the new covenant, must resort to the old. But this does them no good, affirming it is binding on Christians under the new covenant, unless they can prove that the old law is the new law or part thereof. This they make a feeble attempt to do. However, all that is necessary to refute his assumption is to prove that the old law is done away. If the old law is done away it is impossible for the affirmative to make it the authority in the new. This I intend to do at this time, and at the same time showing its location historically in the scheme of redemption. In contending for the observance of the sabbath day of Exodus 20, Adventists overlook the significance of history which is summarized by the apostle Paul in Galatians three. Four hundred and thirty years before the law was given at Mount Sinai, God made the promise to Abraham, "In thee shall all nations be blessed . . . He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ." (Gal. 3:8, 16) At Sinai God made a covenant with the children of Israel, even the law. It was in this law that the sabbath was given or made known: "Thou camest down also upon Mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments: and madest known unto them thy holy sabbath . . . by the hand of Moses thy servant." (Deut. 9:13-14) But this law "cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. For if inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; . . . But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster." (Gal. 3:17-25) 1. Why do NO Christians keep the Sabbath in the New Testament? 2. Why does Paul THREE times tell us that we need not keep the Sabbath? 3. Why does Hebrews tell us that the day we keep is "ANOTHER" day? 4. Why does the Bible tell us that the Sabbath is a sign of the covenant made with Israel? and then why does the Bible tell us that this covenant does not apply to Christians? 5. Why are there NO commands for Christians to keep the Sabbath in the entire Bible? 6. Why does Adventism teach that Adam kept the Sabbath, when the Bible teaches that no-one before the time of Moses knew about the Sabbath? 7. Why does the Bible say that the Sabbath is a sign for Israel, and never applies it to mankind as a whole? 8. Why does Adventism gather weekly on Saturday, when in the New Testament and in the first, second, and third centuries, Christians gathered on Sunday? Luke 11:41 "But give that which is within as charity, and then all things are clean for you. Acts 10:15 Again a voice came to him a second time, "What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy." Acts 11:9 "But a voice from heaven answered a second time, 'What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy.' Romans 14:1 Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions. Colossians 2:16 Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day-- (NASB ©1995) Mark 7:19 because it goeth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the draught? This he said , making all meats clean. John 5:18 (NIV) 18 For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God. Hosea 2:11 will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts. 758 years before the Birth of Christ. Isaiah 1:12-14King James Version (KJV) 12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. It is ironic that Jesus and His disciples were harassed by the Pharisees over the Sabbath (John 5:18). Jesus spoke out against the Pharisee's merciless observance of the Sabbath (Matt 12:1-8; Luke 13:10-16). Jesus also defended Himself and His disciples on this issue by saying: "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath; so the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath." [Mark 2:27-28; RSV]. On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them... [Acts 20:7] It is interesting to note that St. Paul had spent a week with the community in Troas (Acts 20:6), and this is the only reported time that he celebrated the "breaking of bread" with them. Also no remarks are made later in this passage that St. Paul disapproved of their worship on Sunday. One would expect St. Paul to object to this practice, if it were rooted in paganism. and claiming authority over it. The Lord said the Sabbaths would cease and that’s exactly what he meant.

Your problem is, Jesus and the apostles and the people still kept the Sabbath. Your Numbers quote applies to the Levites and their roles in the tabernacle. The people didnt have to offer 2 lambs every sabbath. Your next problem is, you dont understand the difference between the 7th day Sabbath and other sabbaths. There were even sabbath years. The 7th day Sabbath is an eternal commandment, written in stone, and the 4th of the 10 commandments. The other sabbaths are part of levitical laws. The term " breaking bread" does not always refer to the new passover. They were fellowship meals. Sometimes daily, sometimes weekly. Nothing to do with Sabbath or SUNday. Tho can be on either, or none. SDA are correct about the Sabbath, but a believer can worship GOD everyday, any day. It just so happens, that as the 7th day Sabbath is the day off, its convenient to share with everyone else on that same day. In the same way, people do on sunday. You also mentioned forbidding meat is a doctrine of the devil?. Yet catholics have no meat fridays and forbid marriage of the clergy. ???

It could be read as "According to the Lord's doctrine of the Lord, gather yourselves together, and break bread, and give thanksgiving after having confessed your transgressions, that your sacrifice may be pure." or It could be read as "According to the Lord's command of the Lord, gather yourselves together, and break bread, and give thanksgiving after having confessed your transgressions, that your sacrifice may be pure."

@@YajunYuanSDA You are correct on the word itself, but it is also misleading to say that the Didache "makes no mention". Foreign words (or any words for that matter) must be translated and given meaning. In this case, we have a word that really doesn't communicate what it means like some words. But, we have people who DID understand that word and we have multiple Christian documents that use the same word in the same manner and passed the meaning on that it means, "The Lord's Day" and was used to describe Sunday.

Hello brother Joe, remember the Elf and Dwarf from Lord of the Rings :). I expect you to be the only one who knows why I just said that. As you may remember I am a SDA with an * which Ill explain later. I think you did a reasonably good job on the history aspect of your message. I really like your character in how you present. This is the second video of yours that I have watched, so far, Ill certainly keep watching as Im on a quest to make sure I understand Catholicism as best as I can from the best sources as possible such as yourself and Trent Horn who I watch a lot. Concerning the question you asked about Ellen's GC quote on "all Christians" in the "early centuries", I'll answer. I'll first say, you shouldn't trust her writings, God is not going to judge you or anyone outside of Adventism based on anything she has said. The only reason anyone should come to believe in her writings is because they first were convinced of the scriptural teachings of Adventism especially the prophetic books of Daniel and Revelation. Its actually similar in nature to belief in the Papacy. There are many things in Catholicism that make perfect sense to Catholics because of their conviction about the Papacy in scripture. I call this principle "he who has an ear let him hear". I assume based on your Catholic background and experience you understand my point. Most SDA wrongly believe the apostasy began with Constantine (increased but not began including Sunday sacredness), where myself and many others believe it began well before 100AD, but was a gradual process. In her writings "Christians" in some contexts might refer to all the various denominations that exist in the world and other times such as the GC quote refer only to those who are truly converted and faithful. Now similar to how Catholicism once anathmatized protestants in their breaking from the church, Catholicism understands that a lot of time has passed and a more merciful approach to their ignorance should be taken hence Catholicism doesn't just openly condemn others outside her church. Now there is no way for me to know the details of the early apostasy, I believe it based on my understanding of the totality of scripture. I have some plausible ideas based on the apostasy that Adventism has been going through since the early 1900's but I can't be sure of the first century because I wasn't there. For me the apostasy of my own church has taught me many lessons that I believe are likely compatible with how it may have happened in that day. Just as the SDA church today has made changes based on their interpretation of Ellen White, I see a similar pattern in how the early church fathers used "Lord's Day" and the scriptures. Based on my own experience apostasy can happen much faster than I think many realize. Most SDA wouldn't recognize this because they believe our church to have a similar level of infallibility to that of Catholicism. Slightly different, but similar in some ways. Concerning my *, my church used to be a non-trinitarian church but after the death of Ellen White some new interpretations of her writings came in and quickly took over the church. Ultimately the the church came to believe in a more tritheistic version of the Trinity, different than Catholicism. They would deny the tritheism claim but i use the term to differ from the real Trinity version of Catholicism. I won't go into my view at the moment but I was disfellowshipped for going back to the pioneer view. Thousands of us have done this. We still consider ourselves SDA but we are often not connected to the Conference. I totally understand why you see what you see and believe what you do. I have no condemnation for you as an individual and look forward to understanding Catholicism better through your videos. Because of f the nature of my beliefs I felt the burden was on me to portray Catholicism as accurate as possible and that is why I like watching these videos. I know there are many things I could say about the video but perhaps someday our paths may cross in a more personal way of dialogue, "friend". God Bless!

Does not St. Paul order the Galatians and Corinthians to make collections on the first day of the week? A. Yes; but, again, this does not abolish the observance of Saturday. St. Paul does not say that the people would be at church on that day,-that they were to keep that day, to the exclusion of Saturday, holy,-or that these collections were to be made at church, but merely that every man should lay up by himself in store upon that day. Timestamp 47:00 Q.

A. But does this text abrogate the observance of Saturday the seventh day, or allow Protestants to do profane work on that day? Certainly not. They should then rest upon both days, if they hold the above text as any argument. The text in question does not say that the Apostle preached, or that the people assembled every first day of the week, but merely on this particular day, for which a good reason is given, namely, that St. Paul was to depart next day. It is quite clear, however, that they met every Saturday; for the same Acts say, St. Paul preached in the Synagogue every Sabbath, and exhorted the Jews and the Greeks. Besides, it is not wonderful that the disciples came together on this first day of the week, since, according to Acts ii, they continued DAILY in the Temple breaking bread.

who accused Constantine and the pope of changing the Christian holy day from Saturday to Sunday.😂😂 Justin Martyr described 2nd century Christian liturgy in his First Apology (c. 150) to Emperor Antoninus Pius, and his description remains relevant to the basic structure of Christian liturgical worship: For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. (Gal. 5:14) And on the day called Sunday, all who live in cities or in the country gather together to one place, and the memoirs of the apostles or the writings of the prophets are read, as long as time permits; then, when the reader has ceased, the president verbally instructs, and exhorts to the imitation of these good things. Then we all rise together and pray, and, as we before said, when our prayer is ended, bread and wine and water are brought, and the president in like manner offers prayers and thanksgivings, according to his ability, and the people assent, saying Amen; and there is a distribution to each, and a participation of that over which thanks have been given, and to those who are absent a portion is sent by the deacons. And they who are well to do, and willing, give what each thinks fit; and what is collected is deposited with the president, who succours the orphans and widows and those who, through sickness or any other cause, are in want, and those who are in bonds and the strangers sojourning among us, and in a word takes care of all who are in need. - Justin Martyr[ Thus, as Justin described, Christians assemble for communal worship on Sunday, the day of the resurrection, though other liturgical practices often occur outside this setting. Scripture readings are drawn from the Old and New Testaments, but especially the Gospels. Often these are arranged on an annual cycle, using a book called a lectionary. Instruction is given based on these readings, called a sermon, or homily. There are a variety of congregational prayers, including thanksgiving, confession, and intercession, which occur throughout the service and take a variety of forms including recited, responsive, silent, or sung. The Lord's Prayer, or Our Father, is regularly prayed. The Eucharist (called Holy Communion, or the Lord's Supper) is the part of liturgical worship that consists of a consecrated meal, usually bread and wine. Justin Martyr described the Eucharist: And this food is called among us Eukaristia [the Eucharist], of which no one is allowed to partake but the man who believes that the things which we teach are true, and who has been washed with the washing that is for the remission of sins, and unto regeneration, and who is so living as Christ has enjoined. For not as common bread and common drink do we receive these; but in like manner as Jesus Christ our Saviour, having been made flesh by the Word of God, had both flesh and blood for our salvation, so likewise have we been taught that the food which is blessed by the prayer of His word, and from which our blood and flesh by transmutation are nourished, is the flesh and blood of that Jesus who was made flesh. This famous passage from the First Apology of St. Justin Martyr (Cap. 66-67: PG 6, 427-431) is used in the Roman Catholic Office of Readings for the third Sunday of Easter with the accompanying biblical reading of Revelation 6:1-17). Reflecting the way the Eucharist was celebrated in Rome about 150 AD, only about 55 years after the last New Testament books, it makes clear several important things: 1) the Eucharist was interpreted in a very realistic way in the early church 2) it was the principal, weekly worship celebration of the Christian Church 3) it took place on Sunday, not on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath 4) the meaning of the Eucharist and manner of its celebration was handed down by the apostles No one may share the Eucharist with us unless he believes that what we teach is true, unless he is washed in the regenerating waters of baptism for the remission of his sins, and unless he lives in accordance with the principles given us by Christ. We do not consume the eucharistic bread and wine as if it were ordinary food and drink, for we have been taught that as Jesus Christ our Savior became a man of flesh and blood by the power of the Word of God, so also the food that our flesh and blood assimilates for its nourishment becomes the flesh and blood of the incarnate Jesus by the power of his own words contained in the prayer of thanksgiving. The apostles, in their recollections, which are called gospels, handed down to us what Jesus commanded them to do. They tell us that he took bread, gave thanks and said: Do this in memory of me. This is my body. In the same way he took the cup, he gave thanks and said: This is my blood. The Lord gave this command to them alone. Ever since then we have constantly reminded one another of these things. The rich among us help the poor and we are always united. For all that we receive we praise the Creator of the universe through his Son Jesus Christ and through the Holy Spirit. On Sunday we have a common assembly of all our members, whether they live in the city or the outlying districts. The recollections of the apostles or the writings of the prophets are read, as long as there is time. When the reader has finished, the president of the assembly speaks to us; he urges everyone to imitate the examples of virtue we have heard in the readings. Then we all stand up together and pray. On the conclusion of our prayer, bread and wine and water are brought forward. The president offers prayers and gives thanks to the best of his ability, and the people give assent by saying, “Amen”. The eucharist is distributed, everyone present communicates, and the deacons take it to those who are absent. The wealthy, if they wish, may make a contribution, and they themselves decide the amount. The collection is placed in the custody of the president, who uses it to help the orphans and widows and all who for any reason are in distress, whether because they are sick, in prison, or away from home. In a word, he takes care of all who are in need. We hold our common assembly on Sunday because it is the first day of the week, the day on which God put darkness and chaos to flight and created the world, and because on that same day our savior Jesus Christ rose from the dead. For he was crucified on Friday and on Sunday he appeared to his apostles and disciples and taught them the things that we have passed on for your consideration. 😁😁"But every Lord’s day . . . gather yourselves together and break bread, and give thanksgiving after having confessed your transgressions, that your sacrifice may be pure. But let no one that is at variance with his fellow come together with you, until they be reconciled, that your sacrifice may not be profaned" (Didache 14 [A.D. 70]). "[T]hose who were brought up in the ancient order of things [i.e. Jews] have come to the possession of a new hope, no longer observing the Sabbath, but living in the observance of the Lord’s day, on which also our life has sprung up again by him and by his death" (Letter to the Magnesians 8 [A.D. 110]). Ignatius of Antioch Colossians 2:17-19: "Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day-things which are a mere shadow of what is to come, but the substance belongs to Christ."

"who accused Constantine and the pope of changing the Christian holy day from Saturday to Sunday" Before the change of law but Constantine, Sunday was never a *rest* day. Hence Sunday has no relation to the Ten Commandments. All the holy days of the Old Testament were rest days, the weekly seventh day Sabbath and the yearly festivals.

Found the quote by Justin Martyr he mentioned near the end: For since you have read, O Trypho, as you yourself admitted, the doctrines taught by our Saviour, I do not think that I have done foolishly in adding some short utterances of His to the prophetic statements. Wash therefore, and be now clean, and put away iniquity from your souls, as God bids you be washed in this laver, and be circumcised with the true circumcision. For we too would observe the fleshly circumcision, and the Sabbaths, and in short all the feasts, if we did not know for what reason they were enjoined you - namely, on account of your transgressions and the hardness of your hearts. For if we patiently endure all things contrived against us by wicked men and demons, so that even amid cruelties unutterable, death and torments, we pray for mercy to those who inflict such things upon us, and do not wish to give the least retort to any one, even as the new Lawgiver commanded us: how is it, Trypho, that we would not observe those rites which do not harm us- I speak of fleshly circumcision, and Sabbaths, and feasts? -Dialogue with Trypho, chapter 18

@wesleysimelane3423 Жыл бұрын

The sabbath was instituted in the beginning of creation, in Genesis, for all humanity. In the commandments, the Jews, God's chosen people were merely being reminded to keep it holy. The verses in Luke do not describe a change to Sunday, only due to circumstances, the brothers met on that day. Here is who truly changed the sabbath: “Is not every Christian obliged to sanctify Sunday and to abstain on that day from unnecessary servile work? Is not the observance of this law among the most prominent of our sacred duties? But you may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify.” James Cardinal Gibbons, The Faith of Our Fathers (1917 edition), p. 72-73 (16th Edition, p 111; 88th Edition, p. 89). “For example, nowhere in the Bible do we find that Christ or the Apostles ordered that the Sabbath be changed from Saturday to Sunday. We have the commandment of God given to Moses to keep holy the Sabbath day, that is the 7th day of the week, Saturday. Today most Christians keep Sunday because it has been revealed to us by the [Roman Catholic] church outside the Bible.” Catholic Virginian, October 3, 1947, p. 9, article “To Tell You the Truth.” “Most Christians assume that Sunday is the biblically approved day of worship. The Catholic Church protests that it transferred Christian worship from the biblical Sabbath (Saturday) to Sunday, and that to try to argue that the change was made in the Bible is both dishonest and a denial of Catholic authority. If Protestantism wants to base its teachings only on the Bible, it should worship on Saturday.” Rome’s Challenge www.immaculateheart.com/maryonline Dec 2003. Who Made Sunday Holy? “Question: How prove you that the church had power to command feasts and holydays?” “Answer: By the very act of changing the Sabbath into Sunday, which Protestants allow of and therefore they fondly contradict themselves by keeping Sunday strictly, and breaking most other feasts commanded by the same church.” “Question: Have you any other way of proving that the church has power to institute festivals of precept?” “Answer: Had she not such power, she could not a done that in which all modern religionists agree with her; -she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday the seventh day of the week, a change for which there is no Scriptural authority.” Stephen Keenan, A Doctrinal Catechism On the Obedience Due to the Church, 3rd edition, Chapter 2, p. 174 (Imprimatur, John Cardinal McCloskey, Archbishop of New York). “Question - Which is the Sabbath day?” “Answer - Saturday is the Sabbath day.” “Question - Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?” “Answer - We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church, in the Council of Laodicea (A.D. 364), transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.” Peter Geiermann, C.S.S.R., The Convert’s Catechism of Catholic Doctrine, p. 50, 3rd edition, 1957. “Nowhere in the Bible is it stated that worship should be changed from Saturday to Sunday...Now the Church...instituted, by God’s authority, Sunday as the day of worship. This same Church, by the same divine authority, taught the doctrine of Purgatory long before the Bible was made. We have, therefore, the same authority for Purgatory as we have for Sunday.” Martin J. Scott, Things Catholics Are Asked About, 1927 edition, p. 136. “Written by the finger of God on two tables of stone, this Divine code (ten commandments) was received from the Almighty by Moses amid the thunders of Mount Sinai...Christ resumed these Commandments in the double precept of charity--love of God and of the neighbour; He proclaimed them as binding under the New Law in Matthew 19 and in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5)...The (Catholic) Church, on the other hand, after changing the day of rest from the Jewish Sabbath, or seventh day of the week, to the first, made the Third Commandment refer to Sunday as the day to be kept holy as the Lord’s Day...He (God) claims one day out of the seven as a memorial to Himself, and this must be kept holy...” The Catholic Encyclopaedia, vol. 4, “The Ten Commandments”, 1908 edition by Robert Appleton Company; and 1999 Online edition by Kevin Knight, Imprimatur, John M. Farley, Archbishop of New York. “Question. What warrant have you for keeping Sunday preferably to the ancient sabbath which was Saturday? “Answer. We have for it the authority of the Catholic church and apostolic tradition.” “Question. Does the Scripture anywhere command the Sunday to be kept for the Sabbath?” “Answer. The Scripture commands us to hear the church (St.Matt.18:17; St. Luke 10:16), and to hold fast the traditions of the apostles. 2 Thess 2:15. But the Scripture does not in particular mention this change of the Sabbath.” “Perhaps the boldest thing, the most revolutionary change the Church ever did, happened in the first century. The holy day, the Sabbath, was changed from Saturday to Sunday. ‘The day of the Lord’ was chosen, not from any direction noted in the Scriptures, but from the (Catholic) Church’s sense of its own power...People who think that the Scriptures should be the sole authority, should logically become 7th Day Adventists, and keep Saturday holy.” St. Catherine Church Sentinel, Algonac, Michigan, May 21, 1995. “Is Saturday the seventh day according to the Bible and the Ten Commandments? I answer yes. Is Sunday the first day of the week and did the Church change the seventh day - Saturday - for Sunday, the first day? I answer yes. Did Christ change the day'? I answer no!” “Faithfully yours, J. Card. Gibbons.” James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, Md. (1877-1921), in a signed letter. “Question. - How prove you that the Church hath power to command feasts and holy days?” “Answer. - By the very act of changing Sabbath into Sunday which Protestants allow of; and therefore they fondly contradict themselves, by keeping Sunday strictly, and breaking most other feasts commanded by the same Church.” “Question. - How prove you that?” “Answer. - Because by keeping Sunday, they acknowledge the Church’s power to ordain feasts, and to command them under sin: and by not keeping the rest by her commanded, they again deny, in fact, the same power.” An Abridgment of the Christian Doctrine, composed by Henry Tuberville, p. 58.” “Some theologians have held that God likewise directly determined the Sunday as the day of worship in the New Law, that He Himself has explicitly substituted the Sunday for the Sabbath. But this theory is now entirely abandoned. It is now commonly held that God simply gave His Church the power to set aside whatever day or days she would deem suitable as Holy Days. The (Roman Catholic) Church chose Sunday, the first day of the week, and in the course of time added other days as holy days.” John Laux, A Course in Religion for Catholic High Schools and Academies, 1936 edition, vol. 1, p. 51. “The Catholic church for over one thousand years before the existence of a Protestant, by virtue of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday...The Protestant World at its birth found the Christian Sabbath too strongly entrenched to run counter to its existence; it was therefore placed under the necessity of acquiescing in the arrangement, thus implying the (Catholic) Church’s right to change the day, for over three hundred years. The Christian Sabbath is therefore to this day, the acknowledged offspring of the Catholic Church as spouse of the Holy Ghost, without a word of remonstrance from the Protestant World.” James Cardinal Gibbons in the Catholic Mirror, September 23, 1983.

0:01 Short answer: no. A bit more explicit. The three first commandments (or on some Jewish reckoning the 2, 3 and 4 words, the first word being the presentation of God's identity) all have an OT specific ritual application. 1 - also forbade graven images along idolatry 2 - also referred principally to the Tetragrammaton 3 - also specified the Sabbath as that of Creation week. Hankering back to 1b as "2nd commandment" is a common topic in more than one Puritanism. The two other ones are involved in two different revivalist sects 7 D A and J's W:s. Logically, all three would go together, and yet we do not find to this date any clear example of all three going together.

Or even three. 1) St. Augustine's. 2) A Jewish one which makes the presentation of God a separate word. 3) Luther's, which divides 9 and 10 differently. But second, in order for Christianity to be true and also each of the three to be still in effect, one would need to find in each century or ideally even each fifty years some visible group of Christians who held to all three as still valid -- which we do not find.

Hey Joe great video but I have a few questions. I get the whole eighth day concept it supposedly goes back to ancient Jewish sages who predicted it and of course fulfilled in Christ and eight being the number of eternity etc. but doesn’t the eighth day from a Jewish perspective begin when the sun goes down on Saturday night. And since Jewish people have a ceremony called havdallah to close out the sabbath than in fact the early church if they where doing the same, would have gathered on the sabbath and after the havdallah ceremony it’s now the eighth day or the first day either or and can now also take up the offering since everyone is already together anyway. Also when Jesus rises on the first day of the week, would it not make more sense to rise on Saturday night since by then the sabbath is over snd it’s time to get back to work, meaning time to go out and advance the kingdom than why would Jesus continue to stay in the tomb long after the sabbath rest has ended. Another thought was the example you gave about Paul continuing to preach on the first day of the week until midnight. Why would Paul be preaching from Sunday morning until midnight. Would it not make more sense if it was let’s say maybe eight o’clock on a Saturday night after the sun went down to midnight Saturday. Which again would also be considered the first day of the week or eighth day. At least from a Jewish perspective in terms of when a day starts and ends. Thank you. Your insights would be appreciated. God bless.

One thing I would like to add. Adventists do not simply believe that Saturday is the sabbath and Sunday is a false sabbath. They believe that God wants humans to worship Him ONLY and EXCLUSIVELY one day of the week. Most Catholic apologists do not quite understand this. Adventists believe that to worship ANY other day of the week is wrong--unless it's a prayer meeting or something like that--not a "worship" service. I wish that Catholic Apologists would address that. Tell Adventists CLEARLY that there is no such concept in Christian history as a correct day of worship--and other's are wrong days to worship on. While Catholics have worshipped on Sunday as a special celebration of Christ's resurrection, we do not see it as an EXCLUSIVE day of worship. We worship daily. Sunday isn't our "day" of worship. It is the Lord's day and other days of worship are just as valid to worship on. This isn't actually Sunday vs, Saturday, it's ONE day a week of worship vs. DAILY worship with a special obligation to attend on Sunday.

Surely some vestige of the canceling act can be discovered in the practice of the apostles during that protracted period.

@bibleman8010 Жыл бұрын

1. That the Adventists do not keep the sabbath. Keeping the sabbath requires the following: (1) Doing no work. (Ex. 20:9-10) (2) No baking or boiling. (Ex. 16:23) (3) Bearing no burden. (Jer. 17:21-22) (4) Offering two lambs. (Num. 28:9-10) If they argue that these things were abolished because they are not in the ten commandments, why then do they refuse to eat pork? There is no prohibition against eating pork in the ten commandments. The doctrine of abstaining from meat today is of the devil. (1 Tim. 4:1-4) 2. That the Seventh-day Adventist Church denomination is not in the Bible. 3. That they are "deceitful workers." (2 Cor. 11:13) They conceal their identity as long as possible in their personal work, and their broadcasts and public services are presented under titles that do not reveal their true identity. 4. That Adventists assume the major premise in nearly all that they teach. With love for their souls, I cry out, "Come out from this error!" Study the Scriptures -- prove all things! knowing that the sabbath is nowhere commanded under the new covenant, must resort to the old. But this does them no good, affirming it is binding on Christians under the new covenant, unless they can prove that the old law is the new law or part thereof. This they make a feeble attempt to do. However, all that is necessary to refute his assumption is to prove that the old law is done away. If the old law is done away it is impossible for the affirmative to make it the authority in the new. This I intend to do at this time, and at the same time showing its location historically in the scheme of redemption. In contending for the observance of the sabbath day of Exodus 20, Adventists overlook the significance of history which is summarized by the apostle Paul in Galatians three. Four hundred and thirty years before the law was given at Mount Sinai, God made the promise to Abraham, "In thee shall all nations be blessed . . . He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ." (Gal. 3:8, 16) At Sinai God made a covenant with the children of Israel, even the law. It was in this law that the sabbath was given or made known: "Thou camest down also upon Mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments: and madest known unto them thy holy sabbath . . . by the hand of Moses thy servant." (Deut. 9:13-14) But this law "cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. For if inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; . . . But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster." (Gal. 3:17-25) 1. Why do NO Christians keep the Sabbath in the New Testament? 2. Why does Paul THREE times tell us that we need not keep the Sabbath? 3. Why does Hebrews tell us that the day we keep is "ANOTHER" day? 4. Why does the Bible tell us that the Sabbath is a sign of the covenant made with Israel? and then why does the Bible tell us that this covenant does not apply to Christians? 5. Why are there NO commands for Christians to keep the Sabbath in the entire Bible? 6. Why does Adventism teach that Adam kept the Sabbath, when the Bible teaches that no-one before the time of Moses knew about the Sabbath? 7. Why does the Bible say that the Sabbath is a sign for Israel, and never applies it to mankind as a whole? 8. Why does Adventism gather weekly on Saturday, when in the New Testament and in the first, second, and third centuries, Christians gathered on Sunday? Luke 11:41 "But give that which is within as charity, and then all things are clean for you. Acts 10:15 Again a voice came to him a second time, "What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy." Acts 11:9 "But a voice from heaven answered a second time, 'What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy.' Romans 14:1 Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions. Colossians 2:16 Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day-- (NASB ©1995) Mark 7:19 because it goeth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the draught? This he said , making all meats clean. John 5:18 (NIV) 18 For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God. Hosea 2:11 will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts. 758 years before the Birth of Christ. Isaiah 1:12-14King James Version (KJV) 12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. It is ironic that Jesus and His disciples were harassed by the Pharisees over the Sabbath (John 5:18). Jesus spoke out against the Pharisee's merciless observance of the Sabbath (Matt 12:1-8; Luke 13:10-16). Jesus also defended Himself and His disciples on this issue by saying: "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath; so the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath." [Mark 2:27-28; RSV]. On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them... [Acts 20:7] It is interesting to note that St. Paul had spent a week with the community in Troas (Acts 20:6), and this is the only reported time that he celebrated the "breaking of bread" with them. Also no remarks are made later in this passage that St. Paul disapproved of their worship on Sunday. One would expect St. Paul to object to this practice, if it were rooted in paganism. and claiming authority over it. The Lord said the Sabbaths would cease and that’s exactly what he meant.

Saturday being the sabbath never changed. In fact, Jesus told them on April 1, AD30 in the Olivet Discourse, pray their flight does not take place in the sabbath nor winter. Their prayer was answered 40 years later, their flight took place on Thursday afternoon, April 10, AD70. Roman Catholics are dead wrong about sabbath changing to a Sunday. Also, Jesus died on Wednesday, not Friday (He died before the day of the high sabbath, which was on a Thursday that week) and rose Saturday afternoon, after the ninth hour. The tomb the next morning was discovered empty, not His resurrection.

"Our pioneers clearly held Arian or semi-Arian views in regard to the person of Christ. They understood “firstborn over all creation” (Col 1:15) and “only begotten Son” (John 3:16) in a literal sense. The Father, therefore, was first and superior, and the Son, who had a beginning sometime in eternity, was subordinate to the Father. A corollary of this view was the belief that the Holy Spirit is an influence or the power of God, but not a person."

Is it not said in the Acts-"And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow," and is not this ancient scriptural authority for the observance of the first day of the week? A. But does this text abrogate the observance of Saturday the seventh day, or allow Protestants to do profane work on that day? Certainly not. They should then rest upon both days, if they hold the above text as any argument. The text in question does not say that the Apostle preached, or that the people assembled every first day of the week, but merely on this particular day, for which a good reason is given, namely, that St. Paul was to depart next day. It is quite clear, however, that they met every Saturday; for the same Acts say, St. Paul preached in the Synagogue every Sabbath, and exhorted the Jews and the Greeks. Besides, it is not wonderful that the disciples came together on this first day of the week, since, according to Acts ii, they continued DAILY in the Temple breaking bread.

YajunYuan, finding a book with an imprimatur and treating it as if it’s an official publication of the Catholic Church is a mistake. (I say this as someone who has authored multiple books with imprimaturs). Fr. Stephen Keenan is an Irish priest from the 19th century. The fact that he said something doesn’t automatically make it true or official Catholic teaching, any more than your comments are the teaching of the Seventh-day Adventist church. If you want to accurately cite what the Catholic Church believes about something like the Sabbath, Pope St. John Paul II wrote on the subject in Dies Domini (www.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/apost_letters/1998/documents/hf_jp-ii_apl_05071998_dies-domini.html). But in any case, the point isn’t what this or that Catholic said or believed, or even whether the Catholic Church is right on this question. The question is whether Ellen G White is telling the truth about the history of the Sabbath, and history shows quite clearly that the answer there is “no.”

But do you either fast the entire five days, or on the fourth day of the week, and on the day of the Preparation, because on the fourth day the condemnation went out against the Lord, Judas then promising to betray Him for money; and you must fast on the day of the Preparation, because on that day the Lord suffered the death of the cross under Pontius Pilate. But keep the Sabbath, and the Lord's day festival; because the former is the memorial of the creation, and the latter of the resurrection. But there is one only Sabbath to be observed by you in the whole year, which is that of our Lord's burial, on which men ought to keep a fast, but not a festival. For inasmuch as the Creator was then under the earth, the sorrow for Him is more forcible than the joy for the creation; for the Creator is more honourable by nature and dignity than His own creatures." And "Be not careless of yourselves, neither deprive your Saviour of His own members, neither divide His body nor disperse His members, neither prefer the occasions of this life to the word of God; but assemble yourselves together every day, morning and evening, singing psalms and praying in the Lord's house: in the morning saying the sixty-second Psalm, and in the evening the hundred and fortieth, but principally on the Sabbath day. And on the day of our Lord's resurrection, which is the Lord's day, meet more diligently, sending praise to God that made the universe by Jesus, and sent Him to us, and condescended to let Him suffer, and raised Him from the dead." This makes it quite clear that while there were some Saturday fasts, there *wasn't* weekly observance of Saturday as the Sabbath in the way that Jews do (with the exception of Holy Saturday, the day before Easter Sunday), and that Sunday is the heart of Christian worship. To take part of Book II out of context gives the wrong impression, but if you read what the full context says, it's clear that the Day of the Lord is Sunday, and that this "festival" day is because of the resurrection.

It is quite clear there was weekly observance of *both* days until at least 380AD, after which the Roman Catholic Church transferred everything to Sunday. "Let your judicatures be held on the second day of the *week,* that if any controversy arise about your sentence, having *an interval till the* Sabbath, you may be able to set the controversy right, and to reduce those to peace who have the contests one with another against the Lord's day." (Book 2, para 47) "In the morning saying the sixty-second Psalm, and in the evening the hundred and fortieth, but *principally* on the Sabbath day." (Book 2, para 59) "Every Sabbath day excepting one, and every Lord's day, hold your solemn assemblies, and rejoice" (Book 5, para 20) Of course Christians are not supposed to observe the Sabbath the way the Jews do. Because Christians reject the Jewish *oral* law. Of course by the start of the fourth century, Sunday had the title Lord's day. The first record we have of Sunday being called that term is the middle of the second century. Yes the Lord's day is a *ceremonial* festival, that has no connection to the moral ten commandments.

@@JosephHeschmeyer "Book II also says" Your quotation doesn't come from Book 2 it actually comes from Book 7! If you read the context it is saying: "But there is one only Sabbath to be observed by you in the whole year on which men ought to keep a fast, but not a festival, which is that of our Lord's burial." But keep the Sabbath [rest each Saturday], and the Lord's day festival; because the former is the memorial of the creation, and the latter of the resurrection. [Now here an exception is made] But there is one only Sabbath to be observed by you in the whole year, which is that of our Lord's burial [the sabbath before Easter], on which men ought to keep a fast, but not a festival [because all the other Saturdays of the year are festivals and not fast days].

@YajunYuanSDA Sunday had the title of Lords as per Ignatius of Antioch in the 2nd century and the Didache in the first century. And no Ignatius was clear that they do not observe the Jews Sabbath but the lord's day.. if u say it was fully transferred in the ad380 then who did the transfer??

'Catholic Record' September 1 1923 "Sunday is our voice [MARK] of authority....The church is above the bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact." ☝️ Blasphemy! Protestants who claim to keep Sunday holy are wondering after the beast and your claim of sola scriptura is made in vain. And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, *and think to change times and laws* and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. {Daniel 7:25}

But alas! We are once more doomed to disappointment. Nine times do we find the Sabbath referred to in the Acts, but it is the Saturday (the Old Sabbath). Should our readers desire the proof, we refer them to chapter and verse in each instance. Acts 13:14, 27, 42, 44. Once more, Acts 15: 21; again, Acts 16: 13; 17:2; 18:4. "And he (Paul) reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks." Thus the Sabbath (Saturday) from Genesis to Revelation!!! Thus, it is impossible to find in the New Testament the slightest interference by the Saviour or His apostles with the original Sabbath, but on the contrary, an entire acquiescence in the original arrangement; nay, a plenary endorsement by Him, whilst living: and an unvaried, active participation in the keeping of that day and no other by the apostles for thirty years after His death, as the Acts of the Apostles has abundantly testified to us

Timestamp 41:39 the Greek says Lord's *life* not Lord's day. There is no day in the Greek. Ignatius says don't be laying idly but live according to the Lord's life. It is clear if you look at the longer (interpolated) recension of the letter to the Magnesian, the Christians were still keeping the seventh day Sabbath at least until the 4th century.

@JosephHeschmeyer Жыл бұрын

That's not really true. The interpolated version has: "Let us therefore no longer keep the Sabbath after the Jewish manner, and rejoice in days of idleness; for 'he that does not work, let him not eat.' For say the [holy] oracles, 'In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat thy bread." But let every one of you keep the Sabbath after a spiritual manner, rejoicing in meditation on the law, not in relaxation of the body, admiring the workmanship of God, and not eating things prepared the day before, nor using lukewarm drinks, and walking within a prescribed space, nor finding delight in dancing and plaudits which have no sense in them. And after the observance of the Sabbath, let every friend of Christ keep the Lord's Day as a festival, the resurrection-day, the queen and chief of all the days [of the week].'" So that is pretty clear that (1) we're NOT to keep the Sabbath rest from work (which the text condemns as idleness); (2) we ARE to keep Saturdays in a "spiritual" manner by rejoicing in meditation on the law; and (3) Sunday, the Lord's Day, is the Christian festival day, the "queen and chief" of all of the days of the week. How does any of that support the SDA view?

Part 1 I am going to split my comments up into two segments so the readers are not overwhelmed with so much I have to mention. First off, your biased ideas is blatantly obvious, my friend. You take a lot of liberty when reading the Bible and posit your confirmed biases to replace what scripture is really saying, just to fit the scenarios you are discussing. When Jesus talked about His return as being quickly, it was because for Him it will be. Differences in time between heaven and earth are not how you inferred when you said a day for the Lord is like a thousand years. That is just a manner of speaking to say that time has no effect on God since He/They created time and is outside of its influence. Too many people misuse that verse all too often because they don't understand what scripture has to say. That verse should never be applied to prophetic time measurements. Whenever prophecy *IS* discussed (as in regarding the Messiah) we are told that 1 day = 1 year, just as it says in Num. 14:1-38 & Eze. 4:4-8. We see that in Rev. 8:1 there was silence in heaven for half an hour. Some are saying that's because Jesus then leaves heaven with His entourage of angels to come to earth for the saints, which equals to about 1 earth week if calculations are correct. For us on earth, time has passed since Jesus ascended to God the Father in heaven. Even before they went to the Mount of Olives, He told the disciples to be watchful of the signs that will come about before He returns, so that htey would not be taken by surprise or deceived by false teachers. They're like our road signs telling us what town, city, street, etc is coming up next. We see prophecy being fulfilled before our very eyes, pointing to His inevitable return. Wickedness is abounding just as the antediluvians were before the Flood swept them all away that refused to go into the ark. Disasters are occurring all around us, as if the earth itself is screaming at us to wake up and get right with God before humanity's probation closes and Jesus appears in the clouds above. Jesus even said that as time approaches His coming, it will be like labor pains; it signals the birth, but it is not yet time for it. The only law that was nailed to the cross Jesus died upon was the ceremonial and civil laws that were against us. The moral Law will never change or be wiped out. IF that was the case, then everyone can make any day as being sacred; they can steal, lie, commit adultery, murder as they desire, and continue to covet what others have. Most people accept nine of the ten commandments as being good and proper to live by, but the moment the Sabbath is mentioned, they go berserk, why, because it declares who created this world and everything else in the cast Cosmos; it declares God's ownership of everything; and finally it tells what day is His day that was established before there ever was a nation to be holy & sacred. It is also a sign for those who claim to follow God as a test of allegiance to Him. One day soon, that will be a test of true loyalty to God; whether we obey the dictates of the Catholic Church or the word of God. The Catholics remove the command against making images for worship, which they bump the fourth to be the third and then splits the tenth so there remains ten commandments in total. Their version of the ten commandments is seen in their catechism. The removed commandment allows the worship and veneration of idols that supposedly represent the apostles but in all reality are images of pagan deities renamed as a Christian character, just as they repackaged pagan traditions in a way to be acceptable to the Christians of their early day and even for our generation. Then they had several people create a few new translation that corrupts the word of God and puts emphasis on their demonic works as being more accurate when they are not. Many verses were rewritten to mean something entirely different than what the KJV says, and even removes certain verses that contradict the church's teachings that the authors associate with. The Authorized Version is based on legitimate documents, unlike what the codex vaticanus and codex sinaiticus has to offer which contradicts each other when IF they were accurate would agree instead. All in all, the AV is more sure than all the other translations out there combined. Part 2 coming.
