Why Christians do not follow the Subbath and show loyality ?

Question

What is the hinderence?

What the history says about it?

Answer 1

Hello, Aslam:

Bible prophecy says a "man of sin" will change the law concerning time (Daniel 7:25) History bears this fact as the early church in Rome initially kept both Saturday and Sunday to avoid being stigmatized as rebelluous Jews. But at the first Nicean council the Church dropped Saturday and legalized Sunday sacredness, callilng it the Lord's Day.".

They said: "All things that the Bible commands to do on the Sabbath, these we have changed to the "Lord's Day" (Sunday).

Unfortunately, the Koran also endorses keeping the commandments--that is how one enters the Kingdom--and frequently mentions the Sabbath. They, too have deviated from God's sacred day. It will be kept throughout eternity, see: Isaiah 66: 22-24.

The last verse of Isaiah says they will look upon the corpses of those who transgress against God. Yes, it is a sin to break or change God's law and "pay day" is coming (see Revelation 22: 14,15).

Concerning Sunday sacredness, Firstfruits was to be kept on the "day after the Sabbath (Sunday)" (Leviticus 23:15, etc) as was Pentecost. In other words, the Sunday resurrection and Pentecost experience were typified in the Old Testament.

Therefore, literally fulfilling on Sunday, those symbolic Sabbath days" are... Yes, Sunday was "nailed to the cross" (Colossians 2:14) .

Likewise, Acts 20 lists nine disciples at a Saturday-evening-meeting. At midnight eight, including Luke left by boat for Assos. That means they did not desecrate the Sabbath, but sailed after sundown Saturday--and Paul walked all day to Assos Sunday a.m., about 24 miles--hardly a sacred-Sunday church service, with the evangelistic team boating and Paul hikeing all day.

1 Corintians 16 is a letter written about four years after Paul preached and established that church--Acts 16:13 says he preached on the Sabbath there. Later he planned to visit Corinth and sent a letter ahead by courrier. He knew that epistle would be read on the Lords Day (Saturday--Matthew 12:8: ""For the Son of man [Jesus] is Lord even of the sabbath day." , and like today in churches keeping the Sabbath sacred and when work is needed, Paul told them to collect an offering "by himself" (alone) on Sunday. A good time to go to your grainry, storage shed, bank, etc and PREPARE an offering for next Sabbath. Paul was safeguarding the Sabbath's sacredness in 1 Cor 16: 1-3. Yes, he did not make void the least of Jesus' Father's commandments (See Matthew 5: 19) like many do today.

Early historical references to Sunday observance were from "compromisers" at the two Roman Empire capitols, Alexanderia and Rome--intimidation will lead many to transgress the Sabbath in the future. More on this in the last day Bible code, published Online at www.revelado.org/revealed.htm
It opens the only part of the Bible that says: "these words are sealed until the end of the days." You will be amazed!!!

Blessins and peace in Jesus, One-Way

Answer 2

Christians do follow a sabbath every seventh day, on the first day of every week, but I am baffled about the loyality you are talking about, the hinderences, and history.

Answer 3

When the first Christians used to celebrate, they would celebrate on Sunday because that was the day Christ was resurrected. Later, a Christian Caesar changed the day to Sunday for all Christians.
Seventh Day adventists still follow the Saturday sabbath. But to the rest of us, we are free from the law and Christ's resurrection is the most important event in history.

Answer 4

Christians are not Jews. We have a 'new covenant'. We are the offspring of the second "man". Adam was the first man, and had to eventually be placed under the "law". Jesus was the second "man". Jesus freed us from depending on the law for sanctification. Our holy day is the day Jesus won victory over the law of sin and death- that is Sunday. No one changed it-Sunday has always been Sunday.
You are Muslim-should I question you as to why you do not conform to some Jewish law? Are you bound by Jewish Law? Again, a Christian is not a Jew. Why should the "WORLD" try to make us be one.

Answer 5

Christians observe "The Lord's Day", the day Jesus resurrected, the "first day of the week". This is also supported by certain NewTestament verses of Sacred Scripture.

We attend Church on Sundays. The "Sabbath" is the Saturday Holy Day for Judaism.

Answer 6

I assume you mean loyalty to the Sabbath Laws. Jesus said that he came to set us free from the Law. The law was put in place by God to show mankind that we can never be righteous without God's help. Jesus pointed out that it was not what men said or did, but what was in their hearts that mattered. If a man did good works, but his heart was evil, how did that serve God? Jesus said it was not enough to abstain from sin, but we should not even think sinful thoughts. Since it is what we think in our minds (or hearts) that determines what kind of person we truly are.

Answer 7

The Lord of the Sabbath moved the day of rest to the day of resurrection.

Answer 8

Some religious organizations (Seventh-Day Adventists, Seventh-Day Baptists, and certain others) claim that Christians must not worship on Sunday but on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath. They claim that, at some unnamed time after the apostolic age, the Church "changed" the day of worship from Saturday to Sunday.

However, passages of Scripture such as Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 16:2, Colossians 2:16-17, and Revelation 1:10 indicate that, even during New Testament times, the Sabbath is no longer binding and that Christians are to worship on the Lord’s day, Sunday, instead.

The early Church Fathers compared the observance of the Sabbath to the observance of the rite of circumcision, and from that they demonstrated that if the apostles abolished circumcision (Gal. 5:1-6), so also the observance of the Sabbath must have been abolished. The following quotations show that the first Christians understood this principle and gathered for worship on Sunday.


The Didache



"But every Lord’s day . . . gather yourselves together and break bread, and give thanksgiving after having confessed your transgressions, that your sacrifice may be pure. But let no one that is at variance with his fellow come together with you, until they be reconciled, that your sacrifice may not be profaned" (Didache 14 [A.D. 70]).


The Letter of Barnabas



"We keep the eighth day [Sunday] with joyfulness, the day also on which Jesus rose again from the dead" (Letter of Barnabas 15:6–8 [A.D. 74]).


Ignatius of Antioch



"[T]hose who were brought up in the ancient order of things [i.e. Jews] have come to the possession of a new hope, no longer observing the Sabbath, but living in the observance of the Lord’s day, on which also our life has sprung up again by him and by his death" (Letter to the Magnesians 8 [A.D. 110]).


Justin Martyr



"[W]e too would observe the fleshly circumcision, and the Sabbaths, and in short all the feasts, if we did not know for what reason they were enjoined [on] you—namely, on account of your transgressions and the hardness of your heart. . . . [H]ow is it, Trypho, that we would not observe those rites which do not harm us—I speak of fleshly circumcision and Sabbaths and feasts? . . . God enjoined you to keep the Sabbath, and imposed on you other precepts for a sign, as I have already said, on account of your unrighteousness and that of your fathers . . ." (Dialogue with Trypho the Jew 18, 21 [A.D. 155]).

"But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God, having wrought a change in the darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Savior on the same day rose from the dead" (First Apology 67 [A.D. 155]).


Tertullian



"[L]et him who contends that the Sabbath is still to be observed as a balm of salvation, and circumcision on the eighth day . . . teach us that, for the time past, righteous men kept the Sabbath or practiced circumcision, and were thus rendered ‘friends of God.’ For if circumcision purges a man, since God made Adam uncircumcised, why did he not circumcise him, even after his sinning, if circumcision purges? . . . Therefore, since God originated Adam uncircumcised and unobservant of the Sabbath, consequently his offspring also, Abel, offering him sacrifices, uncircumcised and unobservant of the Sabbath, was by him [God] commended [Gen. 4:1–7, Heb. 11:4]. . . . Noah also, uncircumcised—yes, and unobservant of the Sabbath—God freed from the deluge. For Enoch too, most righteous man, uncircumcised and unobservant of the Sabbath, he translated from this world, who did not first taste death in order that, being a candidate for eternal life, he might show us that we also may, without the burden of the law of Moses, please God" (An Answer to the Jews 2 [A.D. 203]).


The Didascalia



"The apostles further appointed: On the first day of the week let there be service, and the reading of the holy scriptures, and the oblation [sacrifice of the Mass], because on the first day of the week [i.e., Sunday] our Lord rose from the place of the dead, and on the first day of the week he arose upon the world, and on the first day of the week he ascended up to heaven, and on the first day of the week he will appear at last with the angels of heaven" (Didascalia 2 [A.D. 225]).


Origen



"Hence it is not possible that the [day of] rest after the Sabbath should have come into existence from the seventh [day] of our God. On the contrary, it is our Savior who, after the pattern of his own rest, caused us to be made in the likeness of his death, and hence also of his resurrection" (Commentary on John 2:28 [A.D. 229]).

Please note that the citations from Church Fathers were made before the 3rd century which disproves the claim of Sabbatists that the change in worship from Saturday to Sunday was made by Emperor Constantine.

Peace and every blessing!

Answer 9

Christians do follow the True Sabbath as outlined in the Bible by resting from our own works and doing the works of God.

"Therefore, since a promise is left of entering into his rest, let us fear that sometime someone of you may seem to have fallen short of it. For we have had the good news declared to us also, even as they also had; but the word which was heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who did hear. For we who have exercised faith do enter into the rest, just as he has said: “So I swore in my anger, ‘They shall not enter into my rest,’” although his works were finished from the founding of the world. For in one place he has said of the seventh day as follows: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works,” and again in this place: “They shall not enter into my rest.”
Since, therefore, it remains for some to enter into it, and those to whom the good news was first declared did not enter in because of disobedience, he again marks off a certain day by saying after so long a time in David’s psalm “Today”; just as it has been said above: “Today if you people listen to his own voice, do not harden your hearts.” For if Joshua had led them into a place of rest, God would not afterward have spoken of another day. So there remains a sabbath resting for the people of God. ►►For the man that has entered into God’s rest has also himself rested from his own works,◄◄ just as God did from his own.
Let us therefore do our utmost to enter into that rest, for fear anyone should fall in the same pattern of disobedience."

Answer 10

Well I wouldn't follow a Subbath either. Who would name their child Subbath anyway?
