THE SABBATH FROM SATURDAY TO SUNDAY? WHO's MARK IS IT?
One day a man picked up Peter Geiermann's Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine and read the following on page 50:
Q. Which is the Sabbath day?
A. Saturday is the Sabbath day.
Q. Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
A. We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.
The man was dumbfounded and supposed there must be some mistake so he wrote a letter to the then famous James Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore, and asked if the Catholic church did, indeed, change the day of worship from Saturday to Sunday. The Cardinal replied, "Of course, the Catholic church claims that the change was her act. And the act is a MARK of her ecclesiastical power and authority in religious matters."
Notice, also, the following words from The Catholic Record of London, Ontario, Canada, September 1, 1923: "Sunday is our MARK of authority...the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact."
Notice this from A Doctrinal Catechism by Stephen Keenan:
Q. Have you any other way of proving that the church has power to institute festivals of precept?
A. Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her, she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday, the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday, the seventh day, a change for which there is no Scriptural authority.
The Papacy claims that it changed the day of worship from Saturday to Sunday and that Sunday or Sunday-keeping is its mark of authority and power. God's mark or sign of power, is Sabbath and Sabbath-keeping and the beast's sign or mark of power, is Sunday and Sunday-keeping.
THE PAPACY ASKS A QUESTION
Here is the famous question which the Papacy has repeatedly asked Protestants. And Protestants have remained strangely silent:
"You will tell me that Saturday was the Jewish Sabbath, but that the Christian Sabbath has been changed to Sunday. Changed! But by whom? Who has authority to change an express commandment of Almighty God? When God has spoken and said, 'Thou shalt keep holy the seventh day' who shall dare to say, nay, thou mayest work and do all manner of worldly business on the seventh day, but thou shalt keep holy the first day in its stead? This is a most important question which I know not how you can answer. You are a Protestant, and you profess to go by the Bible and the Bible only; and yet, in so important a matter as the observance of one day in seven as a holy day, you go against the plain letter of the Bible, and put another day in the place of that which He has commanded. The command to keep holy the seventh day is one of the ten commandments; you believe the other nine are still binding; who gave you authority to tamper with the fourth? If you are consistent with your own principle, if you really follow the Bible and the Bible only, you ought to be able to produce some portion of the New Testament in which this fourth commandment is expressly altered." Library of Christian Doctrine, Burns and Oates, pages 3-4, London.
But as we studied before virtually all churches admit in their official writings that there is no scripture for Sunday sacredness. Protestantism stands guilty before the Judgment bar of God of throwing out the Bible Sabbath! God, Himself, gave the Sabbath as a sign or mark of His power to create and His power to sanctify or save. Exodus 31:17; Ezekiel 20:12. Dare any man tamper with this sacred sign which represents the great God of Heaven and all that He stands for?
CHURCHES COMMENTS ON TRUE SABBATH
BAPTIST
"There was and is a commandment to keep holy the Sabbath day but that Sabbath day was not Sunday...It will be said, however, and with some show of triumph, that the Sabbath was transferred from the seventh to the first day of the week...Where can the record of such a transaction be found? Not in the New Testament--absolutely not. There is no scriptural evidence of the change of the Sabbath institution from the seventh to the first day of the week." --From a paper by Dr. Edward T. Hiscox, author of The Baptist Manual.
CATHOLIC
"You may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we (Catholics) never sanctify." --James Cardinal Gibbons, The Faith of Our Fathers, p. 111.
CHRISTIAN
"There never was any change of the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. There is not in any place in the Bible any intimation of such a change." --First Day Observance, pp. 17, 19.
CHURCH OF CHRIST
"I do not believe that the Lord's day came in the room of the Jewish Sabbath, or that the Sabbath was changed from the seventh to the first day." --Alexander Campbell, Washington Reporter, October 8, 1821.
CONGREGATIONALIST
"The current notion that Christ and His apostles authoritatively substituted the first day for the seventh, is absolutely without any authority in the New Testament." --Dr. Lyman Abbott, Christian Union, January 19, 1882.
EPISCOPAL
"Is there any command in the New Testament to change the day of weekly rest from Saturday to Sunday? None." --Manual of Christian Doctrine, p. 127.
METHODIST
"Take the matter of Sunday...there is no passage telling Christians to keep that day, or to transfer the Jewish Sabbath to that day." --Harris Franklin Rall, Christian Advocate, July 2, 1942.
LUTHERAN
"The observance of the Lord's day (Sunday) is founded not on any command of God, but on the authority of the church." --Augsburg Confession of Faith, quoted in Catholic Sabbath Manual, part 2, Chapter 1, Section 10.
PRESBYTERIAN
"The Christian Sabbath (Sunday) is not in the Scriptures, and was not by the primitive church called the Sabbath." --Dwight's Theology, vol. 4, p. 401.
DICTIONARY
"The notion of a formal substitution by apostolic authority of the Lord's Day (meaning Sunday) for the Jewish Sabbath (or the first for the seventh day)...and the transference to it, perhaps in a spiritualized form, of the sabbatical obligation established by the promulgation of the Fourth Commandment, has no basis whatever either in Holy Scripture or in Christian antiquity." --Sir William Smith & Samuel Cheertham, A Dictionary of Christian Antiquities, vol. 2, p. 182, Article 'Sabbath'".
ENCYCLOPEDIA
It must be confessed that there is no law in the New testament concerning the first day. --M'Clintock and Strong, Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature, vol. 9, p. 196.
NOTE: Though some individual pastors may argue the point, we have not found one single Sunday-keeping organization yet, which did not in its official literature plainly admit that there is no Scripture to support Sunday observance.
SABBATH IN THE STORY OF CREATION THROUGH THE LENS OF FAITH AND TRUST
In Genesis 2:1-3, Elohim created Adam and Eve on the latter part of the sixth day after all the work of Creation was “finished.” They did not participate in the work of Creation, nor did they witness it with their eyes. They awoke to life as a free gift of Elohim's abundant grace and all its pleasures. Then they rested on the seventh day as their first full day of life. Genesis 2:7 states that Elohim formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being. In Genesis 2:18, Elohim said, “It is not good that man should be alone.”
To know who they are and who Elohim is in relation to them, they must occupy a position of faith. Paul gets at this in Hebrews 11:1: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Verse 3 adds, "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of Elohim, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible." Faith and trust are built into man's nature.
Where does the Sabbath fit into Elohim's creation and our relationship with Elohim? It is intended to keep in our spirit the truth of who Elohim is and who we are: Creator (Giver of life) and created (position of dependence). The Sabbath is a memorial of Creation and Redemption. It is Elohim’s weekly reminder to us that our salvation is 100% the gift of His grace, through Christ, to be received by faith alone. It guards us against legalism and self-reliance. It was created to put all our hope and trust in our Redeemer. The Sabbath tells us that good works contribute absolutely nothing to our salvation while at the same time revealing Elohim’s mighty work in us. We are saved by His creative work. Our part is to rest by trusting in His mighty power to save us. See Exodus 20:8-11 and Deuteronomy 5:12-15. Also, see Genesis 1:1-3 and John 1:1-5. John makes a direct reference to the opening verses of the Old Testament. His message speaks of salvation in creation language.
In John 17:4, Yeshua said, "I have finished the work which You have given Me to do." In John 19:30, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. 2 Corinthians 4:6 says, "For Elohim, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of Elohim in the face of Christ." 2 Corinthians 5:17 adds, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." Ephesians 2:8-10 explains, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of Elohim, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Yeshua for good works, which Elohim prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." Ephesians 4:23-24 says, "Be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to Elohim, in true righteousness and holiness." Psalm 51:10-12 prays, "Create in me a clean heart, O Elohim, and renew a steadfast spirit within me... Restore to me the joy of Your salvation."
Luke 23:54-56 and 24:1-3 inform us that Yeshua finished the work of salvation on Friday, rested in the tomb from that work on the Sabbath, and rose from the dead on Sunday. The prophet Isaiah foretold the gospel going to the gentile world and the formation of the New Testament church. According to this prophecy, New Testament believers, both Jews and non-Jews, will be Sabbath-keepers because the Sabbath is a constant reminder of the new covenant of Elohim’s law written in the heart and the impossibility of salvation by works. Isaiah 66:23 states, "It shall come to pass that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, ALL flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says Elohim.
In Acts 13:13-44, Paul and his party went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down. When the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath. On the next Sabbath, almost the whole city came together to hear the word of God.
Yeshua, as the embodiment of the new covenant, was a Sabbath keeper and envisioned His end-time people as Sabbath keepers: Luke 4:16 says, "So 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 to read." Mark 2:27-28 adds, "And He said to them, 'The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. Therefore the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.'" Matthew 11:28-30 invites, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
Many claim that since we are living in New Testament times, the Old Testament no longer applies to us. However, there was no New Testament in existence when Second Timothy 3:16 was written: “All scripture is given by inspiration of Elohim, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” This verse specifically refers to the Old Testament and tells us that the Old Testament is just as much in force today as when it was written.

Hidden Prophecies in the Bible

Is the rapture true or false?
The rapture theory has become very popular among Christians, but popularity does not determine sound doctrine. Our doctrine must always come from the Word of God alone, not the imaginations of men. The Bible is our source for truth and doctrine, so we need to determine if the rapture theory is Biblical or not.
FIVE GOOD REASONS TO Follow / Yahusha
The Biblical Truth About Eternal Hell
What does the Bible say about eternal hell? Is eternal hell biblical? Do you want to know the truth about eternal hell? Many people claim that eternal Hell is the absence of God, but that is not what the Bible says. If you look up the word Sheol in many Bible translations, you will find that it's often translated as "hell"; however, the modern concept of "hell" does not line up with the Biblical descriptions of Sheol.
The word Sheol occurs sixty-five times in the Hebrew Bible. The King James Bible translates thirty-one of those occurrences as "hell," another thirty-one as "grave," and three occurrences as "pit." The word "hell" is used approximately fifty-four times in most Bibles and is translated from several different words including "Sheol," "Hades," "Gehenna," and "Tartarus." All of these words have different meanings and usage in the Scriptures, and their collective translation as "hell" has caused major confusion about death.
The word "hell" was derived from the Old English word "hell," and is related to the Old Norse goddess named "Hel." In its original use and etymology, the word "hell" literally means "to cover, or conceal," and may have simply referred to the ground covering over the dead person. However, in many pagan cultures, it was believed that Hell (or Hades) was the underworld and was ruled by the god of the dead.
The more popular modern version of this concept refers to a place of fiery torment and is understood by many to be the home of Satan and his demons. It's believed that the unrighteous dead go immediately to hell to be tortured in flames for eternity. Many people also believe that Satan and his demons are in charge of actively torturing those damned souls. However, in spite of the fact that none of these ideas can be traced back to the Bible, they remain the popular mainstream view of hell today.
The Bible never says that Satan is in charge of Hell or even that he is currently living there. In fact, the Bible says that Satan will be cast into the lake of fire after the thousand-year reign of the Messiah. The idea that Satan oversees Hell is rooted in the Greek belief in Hades as the god of the underworld. When people say that Satan is in charge of Hell, they are rehearsing pagan mythology, confessing Satan to be the god of the underworld, and participating in a modern "Christianized" version of the pantheon.
The Bible says that Satan will be bound in the bottomless pit during the thousand-year reign of the Messiah and that he will be released for a short time to deceive the nations before being cast into the lake of fire. The Bible also speaks of fallen angels who were imprisoned in Tartarus to be held for judgment. The idea that Satan is the god of the underworld comes from various pagan religions including Ancient Egyptian, Babylonian, Greek, Persian, Roman, Germanic, and Celtic mythology, and is completely unbiblical.

No man knows the day and hour of the Messiah's return
Dozens of Biblical prophecies not only point to the exact year of the Messiah's first coming (30 C.E.), but those same prophecies even point to the year of his return (2030 C.E.). It has all been hidden in plain sight for thousands of years.
