While the old covenant instructed the Jews to observe the Sabbath, the new covenant contains no such instruction. What we find in the Scriptures instead is the practice of and commands relating to the assembling of the saints on the first day of the week.
Whether others had a custom of assembling for other purposes on that day or not is as irrelevant as the assembling of spectators at a Sunday Nascar race. :-) All we’re interested in is what Christ delivered to the saints through His apostles, and that’s the assembling on the day He was raised from the dead to commemorate His sacrifice, etc.
Just exactly....where in your bible does it say that?
You are evidently unaware of what I'm about to tell you....but the words, "First Day of the Week" appear no where in the Greek New Testament. Oh....they appear in later translations after mankind decided to mask the original "Sabbath" worship of the early Church by meeting on Sundays. This, of course was to eliminate persecution from the Roman Empire who had a vendetta against anything "JOOOOOOISH".
The "Proto Catholic Church" (prior to Nicaea) could then tell the Roman Legions they had nothing to do with that religion (Judaism) because we even worship on a different day. And as time went on the Empire and the Church became one and the same.....and to continue their degradation of the customs and Laws of early Apostolic Christianity....they even came up with their own "Feast Days" and disregarded the instructions of [Leviticus 23] regarding Yahweh's Feast Days.
Then.....to top things off they told everyone it was now O.K. to begin eating Spiders, Vultures, Bottom Dwellers and Pigs because the Church said [Leviticus 11] no longer applied to the enlightened.
