Is there any Bible text authorizing a change in the weekly Sabbath as observed by Jesus?

Answer 1

Not a single verse.

"Sabbath" is mentioned sixty times in the New Testament, and none of those 60 mentions are in conjunction with the terms "abolished," "done away with," "replaced with another day," or any of the like.

"First day of the week" is mentioned eight times. None of the eight mentions are in conjunction with "replacing the sabbath," "established as new day of worship," or any of the like.

BTW, there is no such thing as "the Jewish Sabbath." GOD created the Sabbath in the second chapter of Genesis.

Answer 2

The Sabbatth was not done away with in the New Testament. In fact, speaking of the Ten Commandment Law, (Separate from the jewish ordinances that were done away with) Jesus said he came to "fulfill" and not "abolish" the law.

Constantine changed it 3 centuries later knowing at that point that when it came to the Eary Christian church, that if "you can't beat 'em, join em, and marched his army through the river so they would all be baptized, and so emerged Papal Rome from Pagan Rome. All the idols turned to "Saints" and the Sungodess of fertility changed to St. Mary. They incorporated Christianity into their pagan system and integated a lot, but DID NOT do away with its images or day of worship. Just like the Sabbath is Gods "Mark of Authority" so SUNday is the Mother Churches "Mark of Authority". Go straight to the source and read the Catholic Church's position on the "changing of times and laws" (Daniel 7:25)

ROME'S CHALLENGE IS THE CATHOLIC CHURCHES OFFICIAL STATEMENT REGARDING THIS ISSUE: THIS IS A MUST READ FOR ANYONE WONDERING HOW THE SABBATH WAS "CHANGED" TO SUNDAY.

Rom. 10:4: “Christ is the end of the Law, so that everyone exercising faith may have righteousness.” (Sabbath keeping was a part of that Law. God used Christ to bring that Law to its end. Our having a righteous standing with God depends on faith in Christ, not on keeping a weekly sabbath.) (Also Galatians 4:9-11; Ephesians 2:13-16)

Col. 2:13-16: “[God] kindly forgave us all our trespasses and blotted out the handwritten document against us, which consisted of decrees and which was in opposition to us . . . Therefore let no man judge you in eating and drinking or in respect of a festival or of an observance of the new moon or of a sabbath.” (If a person was under the Mosaic Law and was judged guilty of profaning the Sabbath, he was to be stoned to death by the whole congregation, according to Exodus 31:14 and Numbers 15:32-35. Many who argue for sabbath keeping have reason to be glad that we are not under that Law. As shown in the scripture here quoted, an approved standing with God no longer requires observance of the sabbath requirement given to Israel.)

"And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 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 2:2-3

"The seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God." Exodus 20:10. "And when the sabbath was past, ...very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre." Mark 16:1,2.

The Sabbath is not the first day of the week (Sunday), as many believe, but the seventh day (Saturday). Notice from the above Scripture that the Sabbath is the day that comes just before the first day of the week.

"Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish aught from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God." Deuteronomy 4:2. "Every word of God is pure. ... Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar." Proverbs 30:5, 6.

God has specifically and positively forbidden men to change His law by deletions or additions. To tamper with God's holy law in any way is one of the most fearful and dangerous things a person can do.

God's law is good and a blessing. "Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good." Romans 7:12 "But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed." James 1:25

Jesus said "Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:18-19

In John 15:10 Jesus said "I have kept my father's commandments" and we can also find from scripture that Jesus attended church on the Sabbath day. "And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read." Luke 4:16

Answer 5

Nowhere!! The change was made by the early Roman Church. The bishop of Rome claimed he had the authority to make the change, so he did. Are you going to follow the traditions of man or the fourth commandment of God? (Exodus Chapter 20)

Answer 6

Yes, besides it was changed by Jesus, God incarnate.Doesn't that in itself tell people something?
