The day of worship for Christians is Sunday

Having said that, I have to say it seems like he is confused as to what we're debating. I will be capitalizing for emphasis only. WHAT WE'RE NOT DEBATING We're not debating what day Con says SHOULD be the day of worship for Christians. As anyone can see by reading the debate resolution, we're debating which day IS the day of worship for Christians. Voters should ignore any comments arguing for the moving of day from Sunday to Saturday, as they would be irrelevant. Con also seems confused about something else. Despite what my opponent spent most of last round talking about, were not debating which day is the Sabbath. I agree that the Sabbath is Saturday. However, the Sabbath was given to the Jews alone. No one else was expected to corporately worship on Saturdays. We know this because God never told the gentiles to worship on Saturday. God also told the Jews to circumcise their infant male children, but I doubt if Con would argue Christians need to do that. The Apostle Paul was clear that Christians were not required to keep the Sabbath: Colossians 2:16 "So don't let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths. " What we ARE debating *This next point is enough to settle this debate* We are debating which day of the week IS the day of worship for Christians. In round one, Con said he wasn't sure what we're debating. To quote Con directly, he said, "First, I am a bit confused as to the topic of this debate and would like PRO to clarify. " In return, I said, "I will be happy to clarify what "day of worship" means for the purpose of this debate. It is the day when Christians worship corporately. It's the day referred to in the Bible when Christ's followers/disciples met for "the breaking of the bread" or "came together to break bread". So the voters can plainly see my opponent was looking to me to define/clarify what the definition of "day of worship" was for the purpose of this debate. The voters can also plainly see that I it was defined as the day when Christ's disciples "came together to break bread. " With that in mind, I clearly showed how the Bible records them coming together to "break bread" on the "first day of the week", which is Sunday. Con trying to say Acts 20:7 is describing Saturday as the "first day of the week" is not biblically accurate. Time and time again, the Bible says Saturday is the seventh day, not the first (Exodus 31:15, Leviticus 23:3). [2] REBUTTALS TRUTH My opponent overlooked one thing the Bible says is the truth. .. The Church: 1 Timothy 3:15 "so that if I am delayed, you will know how people must conduct themselves in the household of God. This is the church of the living God, which is the pillar and foundation of the truth. " [3] So we see from the Bible that the Church can be trusted to provide us with the truth. And what does the Church tell us? ?? It tells us the day of worship for Christians is Sunday. Did Jesus Condemn All Tradition? Despite my opponent's claim, I am in no way in danger of violating Matthew 15:3ff. I say this because Jesus didn't condemn all traditions. He only warned against "traditions of men". (Mark 7:8) [4] As a matter of fact, the Bible commands us to follow the tradition handed down to us from the Apostles: 2 Thessalonians 2:15 "Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. " [5] Contradictions? ? I have not put scripture in contradiction. It's true that the Law doesn't change. .. it just doesn't apply to Christians: Galatians 5:4 "You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. " [6] Con's $1,000 Challenge Con's challenge is based off a false premise. It's based on the premise that everything a Christian is to follow got written down in the Bible. But that itself is an unwritten tradition, and as such, is self-refuting. Actually, the Bible gives the Christian Church the authority to establish new practices: Matthew 18:18 "Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. " [7] This is all one needs to look to when wondering if the Church Christ began has the right to establish it's own day of worship. Lord's Day The reference to the Lord's Day involves historical evidence that the early Church established Sunday as its day of worship. This fact has gone unchallenged by my opponent. Remember, we're debating what day IS the day of worship for Christians, not what anyone thinks it SHOULD be.
