The day of worship for Christians is Sunday

I first would like to give my thanks to PRO for the opportunity in the debate and will conclude my side of this debate in this argument. Is vs Should In my previous argument I have state the little Is vs should statements. Please consider the following statement from PRO: A) The truth comes from what the church does and say. B) The church IS worshiping on Sundays C) Therefore Sunday being the day of worship IS the truth. But let me replace the theme with, let’s say torture A) The truth comes from what the church does and say. B) The church IS torturing those who worships on Saturday [1]. C) Therefore torturing those who worships on Saturday IS the truth. The worship day for Christians IS on Saturday, but Christians ARE worshiping on Sunday. Who Was the Law Given To?Romans 2:14 The thing that PRO constantly do is taking things out of context. PRO by definition would then have to conclude that Gentiles can freely commit adultery (law), etc. The context makes this plain. For there is no respect of persons with God. For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) – Romans 2:11-15 In other words, the law is not just for the Jews, but for the Gentiles as well. God does not discriminate. So what is said here is that if a person doesn’t know that committing adultery is wrong according to law, his conscious will testify against him on if he does do it. However, if he knew it was wrong according to law, the law testifies against Him. To make it plain, God winks at the time of ignorance. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: – Acts 17:30 Exodus 20:10 and Isaiah 56:6 PRO appeals that two Jews can be strangers. However, Isaiah 56:6 makes it very plain that the strangers mentioned is not yet joined in serving the Lord. An example would be liken unto Ruth. After joining in serving the Lord, they are to keep the seventh day holy. Ecclesiastes 12:13 The word for “man” is the Hebrew word “’âdâm” which the word in and of itself should already denounce PRO’s conclusion… But here is the definition of the word: Âdam #H120: A human being, mankind. Genesis 2:3 The word “sanctify” in Hebrew is the word “qâdash”: Qâdash #H6942: To be causatively make, pronounce or observe as clean or set apart ceremonially or morally; This is the same word that is find in Exodus 20:8. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy (qâdash). – Exodus 20:8 Circumcision The word Jew comes from the word Judah [9], which is but one tribe out of twelve. Judah was a son of Jacob [Gen 35:22]. Jacob’s name became Israel [Gen 32:28]. Israel was the son of Isaac [Gen 25:26], who was the son of Abraham [Gen 21:3] unto whom circumcision was given [Gen 17:11]. Abraham circumcised also those who worked for him [Gen 17:23]. So no, circumcision is not just for the “Jews”. Circumcision is a token that you will honour the covenant, like a wedding ring is that you will keep the vows. And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. – Genesis 17:11 Colossians 2:16-17Hypocritical judgement? I’m going to switch gears here quickly and play-play that PRO’s argument is correct. That we should not judge in regards to the keeping of the Sabbath. But this is not the case as his church indeed judges in regards to the keeping of the Sabbath: The accused (Sabbath-keepers) were summoned; they openly acknowledged the new faith, and defended the same. The most prominent of them,...were condemned to death, and burned publicly in cages, at Moscow, Dec 17.1503 – [2] This zeal for Saturday-keeping continued for a long time: even little things which might strengthen the practice of keeping Saturday were punished. – [3] We are informed that some people in different districts of the kingdom, have adopted and observed Saturday-keeping. It is severely forbidden- in holy church canon- one and all to observe days excepting those which the holy Pope, archbishop, or the bishops command. Saturday-keeping must under no circumstances be permitted hereafter further than the church canon commands. Therefore, we counsel all the friends of God throughout all of Norway who want to be obedient towards the holy church to let this evil of Saturday-keeping alone; and the rest we forbid under penalty of severe church punishment to keep Saturday holy – [4] PRO then being in contradiction of his own argument… Need I say more? Translation PRO questions the translation I was using. Will the voters please refer to my previous argument and confirm that I have written: “Col 2:16-17 Greek Concordance.” Shadow of Christ? Please refer to my previous argument as I have indicated that the tense used is future and not past and the context is referring not to Christ, but to the judgements. The judgements being a shadow of what is coming. My Sources PRO ignores the authority of his own church in stating that the sources provided isn’t good enough. I’ll give these sources on laws that was placed and voters can tell me if these are official or not… On the venerable Day of the Sun let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed. – [5] Christians shall not Judaize and be idle on Saturday but shall work on that day; but the Lord’s day they shall especially honour, and, as being Christians, shall, if possible, do no work on that day. If, however, they are found Judaizing, they shall be shut out from Christ. – [10] 1Timothy 3:15 Truth as I have shown according to scripture is the law. To be the pillar and foundation of truth is to be the pillar and foundation of the law. Acts 20:7 Again, PRO is ignoring the Hebraic counting of days. Sunset to sunset. Tradition/Modifying Previous Commandments PRO is saying because Col 2:16-17 is after Isaiah 8:20, it then modifies the previous command. Using this logic, you will then by definition establish Islam to modify the New Testament since Muhammad received revelation from Allah himself. Of course this is not the case. Note how Isaiah 8:20 is referring to “they” and not “Jews”. Jesus and the Law The transgression of the law is sin. Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. – 1 John 3:4 As I have quoted before in [Deut 4:2;13:32, Pro 30:5-6], to modify the law is sin. By definition PRO admits that Jesus was a sinner when scripture says He was not. Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth. – 1 Peter 2:22 Jesus Declares All Food Clean The word “kosher” means “good” or “proper”. PRO is suggesting that God put down laws for no religious services, however God said He did it for the well-being of Israel. Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess. – Deuteronomy 5:33 Many studies [6][7] has been done that shows there are at least some correlation between unclean food and diseased food. But this was not my emphasis here. If I were to eat a bad piece of meat and PRO tell me not to eat it, PRO has made a judgement in the meat I am eating. If I were 12 years old and I had a bottle of whiskey and PRO tells me not to drink it, PRO has made a judgment in the beverage I am drinking. 1 Corinthians 11:2 I have stated before that some traditions are good. It’s the traditions that makes void the commandments that are bad. Jesus would be very hypocritical for condemning the Pharisees for making traditions that makes void the commandments and then He Himself doing the same thing. Matthew 18:18 Again, PRO is ignoring the context given. I cannot any plainer. Con's Chart My chart was to show the differences between Ceremonial laws and moral laws. If there is no disctinction between these laws, by definition PRO’s accepting my statement in a previous argument: Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever you are justified by the law in honouring your parents or not murdering or keeping the Sabbath; ye are fallen from grace. – Galatians 5:4 (PRO) But my chart illustrated that there is a difference: Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever you are justified by the law in sacrificing animals again; ye are fall from grace. – Galatians 5:4 (CON) Written in our Hearts Please note the scriptures that I gave which PRO ignored. Lord’s Day The apostrophe “s” in Lord’s Day, refers to the ownership of the day. For example, “the pen of my aunt” bares the same meaning as “my aunt’s pen” [8]. Though scriptures has one reference stating “Lord’s day”, it has many more references stating “day of the Lord” to which I have referred PRO to. Conclusion The Christian day of worship according to scripture IS Friday sunset to Saturday sunset. Sources [1] History of the Inquisition, pp.96 [2] Council, Moscow, 1503, H.
