THE APOSTLEL PAUL KEPT THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH.
Please share this lesson with your family, friends, Facebook pages, and all who you can, for the expansion of the Kingdom of GOD.
We are certain Paul and the apostles continued to keep the 7th day Sabbath.
Isn't it also interesting that Sunday advocates ignore the fact that Paul kept the 7th day Sabbath (Acts 16:13) and preached every Sabbath to Jews AND Greeks for a year and a half in Corinth (Acts 18:4,11). Not to mention the whole city in Antioch which came to hear Paul preach on the Sabbath (Acts 13:42-44). These are ignored, while grossly misunderstood verses concerning the first day of the week are clung to!
VERSE USED BY SUNDAY KEEPERS - John 20:19 ...'Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.'
So here we have another verse used by Sunday keepers to support their 'Sabbath change', and yet again, if we read the context and compare scripture with scripture, we will see that this places no special significance upon the first day of the week. First of all, let us compile a proper order of events and timings here. John 20:1 says that Mary Magdalene came to the tomb of Jesus "on the first day of the week ... when it was yet dark." So Mary came to the tomb BEFORE sunrise early on 'Sunday' morning, and Jesus had ALREADY RISEN. Keep that in your mind. Then Peter and the 'other disciple' went to the tomb after Mary had told them it was empty (John 20:2-9). Then in verse 10 of John 20, we are told that the disciples go back to their own homes. This will be 'Sunday' morning. After Jesus appears to Mary (John 20:11-18), we are told that the disciples 'assemble together' when? "The same day AT EVENING." Why? "for FEAR OF THE JEWS." (John 20:19).
They came together at 'evening' when the first day was coming to an end, and the REASON they came together was NOT for 'church worship', but because they feared the Jews. And why did Jesus appear to them at that time? Read Mark 16:14 ..
Mark 16:14 ...'Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.'
Why did Jesus appear to the disciples then? Was it because Sunday was the 'new' Sabbath worship time? No! It was because the disciples, as John 20 confirmed, were 'afraid of the Jews' and as the above in Mark 16 confirms, they did not believe the report of Jesus' resurrection. So Jesus appeared to them to show Himself and comfort them in their distress and unbelief. Do you see when you look into the details that there is no special significance attached to the first day of the week? The disciples were in their OWN HOMES during the day according to John 20:10 and were not assembled together until 'evening', when the first day was coming to an end. How is that any proof of the disciples changing the Sabbath to Sunday? It's none at all! We are even told in Luke 23:56 that they KEPT the Sabbath according to the commandment. But these verses are ignored by Sunday advocates.
Think about it. These scriptures were written by the very disciples whom Sunday keepers believe changed the Sabbath to Sunday, and yet the very scriptures which the disciples wrote by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, decades after the resurrection, do not speak a word of a change in the Sabbath. In fact, they continue to call the 7th day 'THE Sabbath.' They do not start calling the 7th day 'the JEWISH Sabbath', or the first day of the week 'the Christian Sabbath', NO, these Christians continue to call the 7th day THE Sabbath day and the first day, 'the first day of the week.' How anyone can see a change in the Sabbath in that is beyond me!
The disciples never changed the Sabbath to Sunday, and neither did God place any special significance upon the first day of the week. The 7th day Sabbath is STILL the Sabbath of the Lord our God and the first day of the week is STILL, just, the first day of the week.
