The day of worship for Christians is Sunday

The Law only for the Jews First I stated it that it was off topic since PRO made it clear that the topic is and I quote, “what day IS the day of worship for Christians” not “Is the law only for the Jews”. But since PRO said this to be part of the topic, I’ll put forth the argument using the scriptures I posted in my previous argument: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: – Exodus 20:10 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; – Isaiah 56:6 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. – Ecclesiastes 12:13 The scriptures clearly teaches that it is not just for the Jews. That is why PRO wanted you to ignore those scriptures and denouncing the argument as a logical fallacy… On that note, the seventh day was created and set apart for holy use long before the tribe of Judah. Long before Jacob or Abraham were born. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. – Genesis 2:3 Circumcision I feel PRO is going off topic here and should stay on the topic. I will simply put this fourth, I don’t believe the scriptures contradict itself as I have quoted the verse Romans 2:25. Galatians 5:4 is saying that you should not get circumcised because you think you will lose salvation if you don’t. If you get circumcised because you think you will lose salvation, Christ profits you nothing. It is a heart matter. A person new in the faith (saved) does not need to get circumcised. Again, happy to debate this another day. Questionable Quoting of Scripture In most translations, they put words that are added in emphasis, like the words “days” and “is” in Colossians 2:16-17. Or they would put the words in square brackets like in the Darby version PRO gave. That means these words were added and was not originally there. This is what the original Greek says. Please note the separations. Not therefore anyone you let judge -- in regard to food, or in regard to drink, or in regard to a feast, or a new moon, or a Sabbath; which are a shadow of the things coming; -- but body (soma) of Christ. – Col 2:16-17 Greek Concordance. Also note the tense of the words, “are” and “coming” as it’s not in the past tense referring to Jesus but the future tense. What this passage means is that the judgements in regards to these things are a shadow of things coming. If you take out the examples in between the separations you will read, “Not therefore anyone you let judge, but the body of Christ. ” Again, according to context, people with spoiled principalities and powers were judging the body of Christ in these matters and Paul were advising them what to do. Should vs. Is Just because people “IS” worshiping on Sunday doesn’t mean it’s the truth. I have clearly stated in my argument the conclusion of “should vs. Is”: The church is worshiping on Sunday and those who obey God worships on Saturday, so technically those who is worshiping on Saturday is God’s church. Therefore the day of worship for Christians is Saturday. Just as the kid playing IS playing on the highway doesn’t make it right. If the kid obeyed the parent, the kid IS NOT playing on the highway. “Catholic” Sources If my sources are inaccurate, I want the voters to take note of the following: The reformation lost [1] at a recognized council of Trent with about 30 bishops [2] and that states explicitly what I have said concerning the change of Sabbath to Sunday not being scriptural. On the authenticity of the sources I gave, how authentic is the words of a Chancellor of the Archdiocese of Baltimore [3] and the Roman Catechism [4]? If PRO denounces these sources, then PRO is really denouncing his own argument and his church’s authority (which by the way is in contradiction to God’s authority as I am showing). Again, notice that this is a Chancellor… Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change [Scriptural Sabbath to Sunday] was her act. .. And the act is a mark of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things. – [5] 1 Timothy 3:15 Of course it matters what I have made clear. PRO is relying on what the church says is truth while scriptures plainly teaches that you know the truth through the law. Therefore PRO is now at the position that if the church says you can do something contrary to the law, you should heed to the church and not to the word of God. In other words, what is truth? Well to PRO, not the word of God but the church. Acts 20:7 Here PRO is suggesting that they waited for the first day to begin, but the thing is, it doesn’t say they waited, it just said they broke bread on Saturday evening. It’s more likely that they were already worshiping on the seventh day and after their worship service, they broke bread. Furthermore, when they departed on Sunday morning. PRO’s suggestion is really putting the argument in my favour since they did not worship on Sunday and departed Monday morning. Tradition/Modifying Previous Commandments As I have quoted Psa 11:7-8, Luke 16:17, Deut 4:2;13:32, Pro 30:5-6 I will add Isa 8:20: To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. – Isaiah 8:20 What PRO is suggesting here is that Jesus is to be rejected because he spoke against the law. Upon further investigation you will find that no, Jesus didn’t make all food clean as there are still animals in the animal kingdom that is diseased and not good to eat and that the eye for an eye was about payment, not in the ways their traditions had it. Their traditions was making the law of none affect. For example, their tradition made void the fifth commandment, just as PRO’s tradition is making void the fourth. They heeded to their church for truth and not the law, just as PRO is heeding to his church for truth and not the law. 2 Timothy 3:16 If PRO is correct, then Jesus was a hypocrite for speaking against the traditions “word of mouth”. In other words more commonly known, the Talmud. But Jesus came and made the written word more honorable. When confronted by the adversary, Jesus plainly said, “It is written…” not “It is said…” Matthew 18:18 I want the voters to please see that context is being ignored by the PRO to justify that the church can do what it pleases when the context plainly speaks about accepting people or rejecting people from the body. Galatians 5:4Sabbath is a moral law PRO is trying to put forth that the Sabbath as a ceremonial law. We know the law type by its attributes, so let’s investigate quickly: No Moral Law Ceremonial Law 1 First spoken by God [Ex 20:1-22] Spoken first by Moses [Ex 24:3] 2 Written by God’s finger. [Ex 31:18;32:16] Written by Moses’ hand. [2 Chr 35:12;33:8; Ex 24:4; Deut 31:9] 3 Written on stone [Ex 31:18] Written in a book [Exodus 24:3,7; Deut 31:24] 4 Handed by God to Moses [Ex 31:18] Handed by Moses to the Levites [Deut 31:25-26] 5 Placed inside the ark [Deut 10:5] Placed on the outside of the ark [Deut 31:26] 6 Reveals what sin is [Rom 7:7] Gives the solution for sin [Leviticus] Which one does the fourth commandment belongs to? Which one does the sacrificing of animals belong to? As you can see, I did not mischaracterized what PRO said. PRO mischaracterizes the fourth commandment to not be part of the moral law. Galatians 5:4 is not explicitly saying moral or ceremonial. So if PRO is saying it’s speaking of the fourth commandment, that by definition means it’s speaking of the moral law. Written on our hearts Just because you don’t think something you are doing is morally wrong, doesn’t mean it is okay. There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. – Proverbs 14:12 What it means to have the law written in your heart is that you love to keep the law because you love God and your neighbour. Not that you can now choose what is right and wrong. I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. – Psalms 40:8 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: – Proverbs 3:1 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings. – Isaiah 51:7 Lord’s Day PRO for some reason is rejecting to what scripture says is the Lord’s Day and accepting to what tradition says it is…. According to scripture, it is not Sunday. Therefore the people that said it was made it up.
