First you slander Christ and then you say shalom...that is actually pretty funny..and sad.
The Didache also says that day is “the day of the sun”.
You nailed it, Chuck!
The usual suspect : the sophomores running up and down the halls shouting ; "our Jesus is a Roman Catholic subject to the silly little men in Rome!"Which thread was that?
Even funnier—even sadder—thing about a statement like that is the way it ignores Exodus 20:16.
The article at the top of the thread is a pack of lies signifying nothing but hatred for the Church founded by Christ.
But you praise it.
Interesting.
You and the sophomores bear false witness. Slander the Jewish Messiah, I think not !
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
Denial of the slander is a lie in itself.
Exo 20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Now, the claim is made--using quotation marks--that someone here said "our Jesus is a Roman Catholic subject to the silly little men in Rome!"
Yet that quote does not appear on this thread (or any other) as a comment believed by the person who posted it.
The essence of this open-ended malattribution is a smear, a bearing of false witness.
"Sad" doesn't begin to cover it.
And indeed you are correct. On the other hand it also mocks the Savior as if he could possibly be “subject” to that which he created.
On the other hand there is an exegesis that suggests such a “subjection” and that is the belief that one can create one’s own very personal Christ using one’s own individual fabricated interpretation of Holy Scripture.
He can be anything one wants him to be by simply selecting and misinterpreting selected verses out of one’s redacted Bible and claiming that by one’s own brilliance one knows that which others for 2000 years were incapable of figuring out.
I believe you have nailed it.
In the air...in the ether...I’m feeling a deep sense of disappointment and frustration that garbage like this notarized (?) statement of “Dr.” E.T.Hiscox is not allowed to stand unchallenged.
It smells like . . . sulphur.
E.T. always fantasy you know.
It's an interesting argument, but a credible non-Christian source detailed the early Christian practice of gathering in the morning on the first day of the week sinning and prating together and then after work gathering and having the Lord's Supper, which was a part of the Agape Feast. If worshiping on Saturday versus Sunday was so critical why did the earliest Christian churches do this?
I realize part of the practice was based in the early church being made up of Jews and Gentiles, but if the holiest day was Saturday why not worship with your Gentile brothers in Christ then and have the Lord's Supper then?
Should have been singing and praying.
The fact is, Saturday evening gatherings are what is spoken of in the Didache. This is what Acts 20:7 clearly references. In the Scriptures, the day ALWAYS begins at sunset.
Indeed you are correct that the day begins at sundown and ends at sundown the next day. That is why the Catholic Church has Saturday evening and Sunday Masses, because Saturday evening is Sunday.
It’s pretty simple. The commandment designates Saturday as the day of worship, and nothing in the scripture ever changed that.
Constantine changed it because he wanted to unify the Christian and pagan worlds under Rome.
You can believe God or you can believe Constantine, but those are the facts.
