Where is it written that the day of worship was changed from the seventh day to the first day?

Question

I can't find any new commanments James 4:12 says There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another? Did the creator change the day of worship, if so show me where it is written. Will he accept this type of worship?
Did the Savior worship on sunday? We are to walk exactly as he
did or as his customs Luke 4:16 Only prove it by the scriptures Isaiah 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.

Answer 1

The following website examines the history of the Sabbath AND Sunday change, and also examines all Biblical verses dealing with the seventh-day and the first day.

Anyone who is truly interested in this subject will find this website FASCINATING!

Did you know that the people who came to the United States of America on the Mayflower seeking religious freedom kept the seventh day Sabbath?

Also, if you want to see a load of documents where the Catholic church takes credit for the change (which is true) contact me and I will be happy to email you the file.

It boils down to anti-semitism.
It was changed. Christians can ignore the old testament is the general consensus. Ten Commandments? Killing stealing and lying almost come natural.

Answer 3

It was NEVER changed. Many Protestants believe that because JESUS rose from the dead that this is the "Christian Sabbath". The resurrection of our LORD is a GREAT Day indeed. However, where is the command? Like you stated Luke 4:16, there are many other texts indicating that it has NOT changed.
Acts 13:42-44
Acts 16:13
Acts 18:4
Luke 23:54-56
etc.

However, NOWHERE in the Bible do you find a change, or the transfer of solemnity from Saturday(Sabbath) to Sunday(first day of the week).

Many will quote Collosians 2:14-17, Acts 20:7, and a number of others. If this is the case, there is a severe contradiction!

None of these Scriptures speak of a new commandment.

The rhetoric sounds nice and holy, but, it is NOT the truth!!!

Answer 4

Historically the early church led by the apostles changed their day of meeting and worship to The Lord's Day (Sunday), because

(1) Jesus was resurrected on the first day of the week; so meeting and worship on the first day helped commemorate that, and

(2) the early Christians were rejected by the Jewish Synagogues. Until then the early Christians met in the synagogues and tended to view themselves as a sect within Judaism. And,

(3) a key event was when the Pharisees had James, one of the leaders of the early church, executed by the Roman government. This was done in an attempt to destroy the leadership of the early church. When this happened, the early Christians realized the need to set themselves apart from the Jewish communities. And this contributed to changing the day of worship to the first day of the week rather than the Jewish Sabbath (seventh day of hte week).

Cordially,
John

Answer 5

The Bible never changes the Sabbath to Sunday, though it does speak about coming together on the first day of the week:

Acts 20:7 On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Paul spoke to the people and, because he intended to leave the next day, kept on talking until midnight.

1 Cor 6:2 2On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made.

John 20:19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!"

It was a New Testement practice to come together on Sunday (first day of the week) not meaning you cant do it on Saturday or any day for that matter. Infact we are told NOT to judge people according to their Holy Days

Col 2:16-1716Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. 17These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.

Answer 6

First, it's important to understand the true meaning of the Forth Commandment: although God wanted Jews to rest on Saturday (sundown Friday through sundown Saturday), He DID NOT command they gather together and worship corporately (in a group). Believers were expected to take that day to worship the Lord on their own. So it's incorrect to conclude there ever was a day proscribed by God for corporate worship.

Christians and some Messianic Jews (not all) gather corporately on Sunday to commemorate the fact the Yeshua was resurrected on that day. However, there are some Christian and Messianic Jewish congregations that meet on Saturdays. Others meet a second time on Wednesday.

Christians and Messianics are under the New Covenant. Under this Covenant, we are to "pray without ceasing" and to "give thanks to Him in all circumstances." In essence, we are to worship Him seven days a week, not just one day a week.

I hope this helps.

Answer 7

It has always been the Sabbath!
The Sabbath that Jesus worshiped on was from Friday evening to Saturday evening.
(A priest would hold a white and black hair from lambs at arm length and when he could not tell the difference in color between the two hairs the Sabbath began or ended.)

However:
You will set aside one day of rest in 7 days for the lord!
Wednesday is also OK if you make it your Sabbath.

Answer 8

The day was not changed as typically we worship on a day of rest...BUT...if you read Romans a similar verse
Romans 14:4-5..I'm giving you the verse after it ....
5. One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

This verse says you might esteem 1 day highly but another might esteem ALL days alike....so what day would you say is more highly esteemed to the man who esteems all days alike...another verse from the old testament...David speaking says..Psalms 118:24.This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it....so when is the day of the Lord??...everday you wake up clothed in your right mind...blood running warm through your veins activity of your limbs...that Day is the day of the Lord for you ...because some...did not make it to the next day let alone Sunday...Saturday or Monday...God bless

Answer 9

"
In Syria, following the death of the last apostle, a guide for the teaching of Christians was written called the "Doctrine of the Apostles," or the Didache. Its use was reported by church historians but the document itself was lost for centuries. It was found around 1900 in a manuscript dating back to the year 1000. The Didache taught: "On the Lord’s own day, gather together and break bread." This is a clear reference invoking Christians to worship on Sunday written around the year 100.

In the year 110—only twelve years after the death of the last apostle—Ignatius, bishop of Antioch, calls the Sabbath "antiquated." The full passage of the letter of Ignatius to the Magnesians, reads: "Do not be led astray by other doctrines nor by old fables which are worthless. For if we have been living by now according to Judaism, we must confess that we have not received grace. The prophets . . . who walked in ancient customs came to a new hope, no longer Sabbatizing but living by the Lord’s day, on which we came to life through Him and through His death."

There is widespread belief among Christian scholars that the institution of Sunday worship occurred in the apostolic or post-apostolic age in commemoration of the Resurrection. The New Testament itself never calls Sunday the day of the Resurrection but consistently "the first day of the week." Moreover, nowhere does the New Testament suggest that the Lord’s Supper was celebrated in commemoration of Christ’s Resurrection. Neither do the earliest post-apostolic writings invoke the Resurrection as a reason for Sunday worship.

The Epistle of Barnabas (A.D. 130–135) is the first explicit mention of Lord’s day worship being based on the Resurrection. Barnabas writes: "Finally He [God] says to them: ‘I cannot bear your new moons and Sabbaths.’ You see what he means: It is not the present Sabbaths that are acceptable to me, but the one that I have made; on that Sabbath day, which is the beginning of another world. This is why we spend the eighth day in celebration, the day on which Jesus both arose from the dead and, after appearing again, ascended into heaven."

In the year 135 Jerusalem was sacked and the Roman emperor Hadrian prohibited Sabbath worship throughout the Roman Empire. Hadrian also prohibited anyone of Jewish descent from living in Jerusalem. A new Christian community was recruited for Jerusalem from other nations, and the bishops of Jerusalem until the mid–third century bore Greek and Roman names. Thus, after 135, even the Jerusalem Church worshiped on Sundays. Hadrian’s prohibition against Sabbath worship spelled the end of the Sabbath-or-Sunday problem for the early Church. Another council was not necessary.

Justin Martyr confirmed the non-issue of Sunday worship in 150, writing: "On Sunday, we meet to celebrate the Lord’s supper and read the Gospels and Sacred Scripture, the first day on which God changed darkness, and made the world, and on which Christ rose from the dead." It is worth pointing out that the unity of intent in the writings of the apostolic fathers speaks to the worldwide acceptance of Sunday worship between 100–150."

Answer 10

Look in Roman Catholic cannon Law...they are the ones who did it.. it was to demonstrate to the heathens that they had the power to do what they wanted... There have been many RC sanctioned writtings over the years to prove that...if you want to spend the tiome to look it up The vatican will not deny this statement...

The Vatican has in the past published that for protestants who believe that the Bible is letteral that they should then observe the 7th day sabbath... as the Sunday was instituted by them not God. for the purposes of the RC...And it is Vatican writting that The 4th commandment is still in force for all...except RCs

Any preist who would say what i have stated is wrong would not know his own law....
