Proof that the Catholic church Changed the worship from Saturday to Sunday?

Question

Go to this website and see for your self, here is a little piece of the article.

Perhaps the boldest thing, the most revolutionary change the Church ever did, happened in the first century. The holy day, the Sabbath, was changed from Saturday to Sunday. "The Day of the Lord" (dies Dominica) was chosen, not from any directions noted in the Scriptures, but from the Church's sense of its own power. The day of resurrection, the day of Pentecost, fifty days later, came on the first day of the week. So this would be the new Sabbath. People who think that the Scriptures should be the sole authority, should logically become 7th Day Adventists, and keep Saturday holy.

I am not arguing, I nearly spreading the truth with solid proof, I am here to win souls and to bring them to Christ. In the Bible it say "Come out of Babylon" I wish to bring those people out of Babylon.

Answer 1

Yes, that is true. I'm Seventh-day Adventist but most people don't know what in the world I'm talking about when I tell them that. And now that I live in Austin, Texas there's even less knowledge of the religion. But, Saturday is the Sabbath and has been and will continue to be although just because one might keep it Holy and sacred doesn't atomatically mean eternal life. It must be remembered that Jesus is our Savior and that we must grow and tell others about Him.

Answer 2

From the very beginning, the Disciples began assembling together on the first day of the week, in commemoration of Christ rising on that day. Being Jews, they still followed the Jewish Sabbath, which was given specifically to the Israelites alone.

God never wrote that anyone else should follow those laws that were specifically for the Jews. Peter and Paul disputed about this in the book of Acts, and they agreed that the Gentiles did not have to follow Jewish laws in regard to many things.

Later on, the practice was continued by the Gentiles, without them following the Jewish Sabbath. Josephus wrote about the Christians pledging to do no evil at dawn of the first day of the week.

In no book of the Bible is there any mention of the Christian Sabbath. This phrase was thought up by people who wanted their followers to follow the Old Testament laws which allowed them to feel superior to the rest of the Christians, and made them a type of priest which the rest of the flock had to follow.

Also, the Catholic church did not come into existence until 375 A.D. No one church had the power to force any kind of change of that sort until Constantine melded the religious and political power into one entity. Before then, each city basicallly ran its own system of worship. Rome stopped that, and instituted a lot of things that aren't in the Bible.

This whole idea of the Chrisitan Sabbath is only meant to divide and seperate the Body of Christ. There is no such thing and there is no such commandment for Gentiles to follow the Jewish Sabbath. The Apostles and the regular laymen all together began the practice, which we continue today.

Isaiah a million:13 - God starts to bare His displeasure with the Sabbath. Matt. 28:a million; Mark 16:2,9; John 20:a million,19- the Gospel writers purposely show Jesus' resurrection and appearances were on Sunday. it is because Sunday had now change into the most important day contained in the existence of the Church. Acts 20:7 - this article exhibits the apostolic custom of amassing at the same time to celebrate the Eucharist on Sunday, the "first day of the week." Luke information the most worship replaced into on Sunday because this replaced into between the departures from the Jewish type of worship. a million Cor. 16:2 - Paul instructs the Corinthians to make a contribution to the church homes "on the first day of the week," it is Sunday. it is because the common day of Christian worship is Sunday. Col. 2:16-17 - Paul teaches that the Sabbath replaced into purely a shadow of what replaced into fulfilled in Christ, and says "enable no man or woman pass judgment any extra over a Sabbath." 2 Thess. 2:15 - we are to carry quickly to apostolic custom, no matter if that is oral or written. both,000 twelve months-previous custom of the Church is that the apostles replaced the Sabbath day of worship from Saturday to Sunday. Heb. 4:8-9 - with regard to the day of relax, if Joshua had given relax, God does no longer later communicate of "yet another day," it is Sunday, the hot Sabbath. Sunday is the first day of the week and the first day of the hot creation presented about by our Lord's resurrection, which replaced into on Sunday. Heb. 7:12 - even as there's a change contained in the priesthood, there's a change contained in the regulation besides. because we've a clean Priest and a clean sacrifice, we actually have a clean day of worship, it is Sunday. Rev a million:10 - John pretty factors out that he witnesses the heavenly Eucharistic liturgy on Sunday, the Lord's day, the hot day of relax in Christ. Matt. 16:19; 18:18 - although the Church binds on earth is bound in heaven. because the resurrection, Mass has been pretty celebrated on Sunday.

Answer 4

Yes, the Catholic Church did change the that people go to church.

The first Christians were Jews. They went to temple or synagogue on the Sabbath (Saturday) with fellow Jews

Then they gathered on the first day of the week, the day on which Jesus rose from the dead (Sunday), with fellow Christians to tell stories of Jesus and share Eucharist.

Later Gentiles joined Christianity. It was decided by the Apostles who were filled with the Holy Spirit that they did not have to covert to Judaism. So they only attended on Sundays.

It has been this way ever since.

With love in Christ.

Answer 5

The Catholic church claims that it had the power to change the day of worship. Do you accept the Catholic church's claims on other matters, or just the ones that fit with your own personal theories?

The early church met on the first day of the week according to the Bible (Acts 2; Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 16:1-2, et.al.), and according to early secular writings.

The Catholic church did not do this; they are just writing such to make people believe that their church is ancient and apostolic. Instead of taking their word for it, look at the evidence.

Answer 6

God never changed the day the sabbath is on...that is why i keep the 7th day holy. And it is a very blessed day, i look forward to it all week.

Answer 7

Actually, and because Christianity differs from Judasim, there was no change. Its a different religion, picking anything different from a former belief system and installing the incident into a new religion on a differing occasion doesn't make it a change.

Answer 8

Speaking of following the whole scripture:

Romans 14:1-13
----
(1)Accept Christians who are weak in faith, and don't argue with them about what they think is right or wrong. (2)For instance, one person believes it is all right to eat anything. But another believer who has a sensitive conscience will eat only vegetables. (3)Those who think it is all right to eat anything must not look down on those who won't. And those who won't eat certain foods must not condemn those who do, for God has accepted them. (4)Who are you to condemn God's servants? They are responsible to the Lord, so let him tell them whether they are right or wrong. The Lord's power will help them do as they should.

(5)In the same way, some think one day is more holy than another day, while others think every day is alike. Each person should have a personal conviction about this matter. (6)Those who have a special day for worshiping the Lord are trying to honor him. Those who eat all kinds of food do so to honor the Lord, since they give thanks to God before eating. And those who won't eat everything also want to please the Lord and give thanks to God. (7)For we are not our own masters when we live or when we die. (8)While we live, we live to please the Lord. And when we die, we go to be with the Lord. So in life and in death, we belong to the Lord. (9)Christ died and rose again for this very purpose, so that he might be Lord of those who are alive and of those who have died.

(10)So why do you condemn another Christian? Why do you look down on another Christian? Remember, each of us will stand personally before the judgment seat of God. (11)For the Scriptures say,

" `As surely as I live,' says the Lord,
`every knee will bow to me
and every tongue will confess allegiance to God.' "

(12)Yes, each of us will have to give a personal account to God. (13)So don't condemn each other anymore. Decide instead to live in such a way that you will not put an obstacle in another Christian's path.
----

Funny that throughout his writings Paul tends to characterize those who hold some foods to be holier than others, or unholier, and some days to be holier than others, in other words, those who deny the liberty of the New Covenant to be "weak in their faith."

Might want to rethink that whole self-righteousness thang you got goin'...

Answer 9

What's your question? I think Jesus is most concerned with how we worship. After all, he told the woman at the well that the day would come when we'd worship him in spirit, not in a particular place.

Answer 10

Not true.... I am not Catholic (hate Catholicism), but that is not true. "Christians" have always worshiped on Sunday-always from day one.
