More About the Supposed Christ
Written Letter.
1t seems shat there is quite a
discussion on in the the columns
of The News concerning Biblical
subjects,-so thoughts / would Of
fer few suggestions and bible
reference.
First l do not take sides with
the writer of the supposed Christ
written letter, neither do / fully
agree with the answer to it. The
Christ written letter says 1--WE are
to keep the ten commandments, es-
pecially the fourth, or keep the
Sabbath day Holy.") Yet he says
eve should end, our work at 900
P. M. Saturday (the seventh day
of the week. to begin keeping
Sunday, or the first day of the
week.
Our friend in answering this
letter makes the statement that
the Lords day, and the Sabbath
day are two separate days. / con-
tend, according to the bible they
are one, and he same. And that
it isn't the first day of the week,
but the seventh day of the week
according to Gen. q: 8, "And God
blessed the seventh day, and sane
titled it: because that in it he had
rested from all his work
which God created and made"
Also Elk. 20:8-11, and Elk 81: r.
Is. Here in the 18th verse that
God says 1T is sign between me
and the children of Iseral forever.
Neither are we left in doubt as
to what day to keep for it says
the seventh day. Let. 1882 last
part says" from even unto even
shall We celebrate your Sabbath"
Mark / ::32 "And at even when the
sun did SET" According to this
Scripture, Sunday isn't the Sab
bath or Lords day, because it is
kept from 1900 Saturday night
until 1900 Sunday night. The
true Sabbath or Lords day begins
at sun down Friday and ends sun
down Saturday. Christ was cru
sified Friday or preparation day,
the day before the Sabbath ac-
according to Luke % :54-56-"And
the Sabbath drew on" Thus we
find, that the Sabbath or seventh
day of the old testament is still in
use in the New testament, at the
time of Chirst's death.
Now we must turn our attention
to the first day of the week (com-
monty called Sunday And when
and how, how did it become to be
called the Lords day. Lets turn
to Daniel z: Is "And he shall
speak great words against themost !
High, And think to change times
and laws" (Look up the meaning |
of the word Sunday" in your die
tionary. You find it to be the day
the ancients worshiped the Sun,
named also in honor of their Sun
power that the prophet Daniel
says shall think to change Laws
was first accomplished in A. D.
331, when the first Sunday laws
were enacted. Since then there
has been great deal of Sunday
Legislation. It is very much like
Christ said in his day Mark TT.
'Howbeit I'M vain do they worship
commandments of men," Sunday
is not the Lords day for in Matt.
1878 we find this expression. For
the Son of man is Lord even Of the
Sabbath day" Them if he is Lord
of the Sabbath day, the Sabbath
day Must" be the Lords day.
LIST Cor. 1912 is positive proof
that we are to keep an account Of
our affairs and especially on the
first day Of the week, lay aside
our tithes and offerings for the
Lord.
Now our good brother says ac-
cording to Acts 20:7 that Christ's
followers began keeping the first
day of the week after he arose
from the dead, Lets turn to John
2O:19 "Then the same day at evemL
ing, being the first day Of the
week, when the doors were shut
where the disciples were assemble /
ed for Fear of the Jews, came Je-
sus and stood in the midst, and |
saith unto them. Peace be unto
vou.' Here we find them meeting 1
together the first time after the |
resurrection which was on the |
first dayof the week, and the Lord i
Ices not say anything about it be-
nc the Lords day. And surely /
hey were met together for Wor-
ship, but on the contrary they Ii
were II ! rom With the doozp i
