Some of my followers are into the Law… Seventh Day Adventists, Hebrew Roots and the like… They are really into Saturday worship and they keep sending me memes and articles explaining why I should go to church on Saturday and informing me that the Pope changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. I am compelled to answer them.
My answer is threefold:
1. The Pope did not, could not, and has not changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. Perhaps in his own mind and the minds of his slaves, but he has no such power. Saturday is the Sabbath and Sunday is the Lord’s Day. Most Christians choose to meet for worship on the Lord’s Day. Legalists, Adventists, Hebrew Roots and others seek to earn Celestial Brownie Points and a ticket to Heaven by insisting on meeting on Saturn’s Day, better known as Saturday.
2. Acts 20:7 On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread…
The first church service recorded in the Bible was held “On the first day of the week”, Sunday…
If the church in Acts met on Sunday, I reserve the right to meet and worship with other Christians on Sunday… The Lord’s Day.
3. Romans 14 is the Christian’s Law of Liberty. I have had Hebrew Roots persons argue that Paul was a heretic when I quoted this chapter…
Romans 14:5 One person considers one day to be above another day. Someone else considers every day to be the same. Each one must be fully convinced in his own mind…
I am convinced, in my own mind, that all days, for the Christian, are equal. I choose to meet and worship on Sunday because my brothers and sisters in Christ have chosen to meet on the Lord’s Day and not the Sabbath. I do not believe that Sunday is the Sabbath. If all my friends and family met every Thursday morning at 2 AM, I would have no religious opposition to meeting for worship at 2 AM every Thursday… I might be sleepy and my body might complain, but I would have no Biblical argument against it.
If you want to meet on Saturday… go for it! Just understand that you can loose your salvation by seeking justification through the Law…
Galatians 5:4 You who are trying to be justified by the law are alienated from Christ; you have fallen from grace.
With that in mind, feel free to meet and worship on any day you choose… Just quit telling me that the Pope changed the Sabbath and that I am a catholicized pagan because I worship on the Lord’s Day and not Saturn’s Day.
