Bible Studies
"I myself was Catholic and went to Church's for years on Sunday. I read a book - WHICH day is the CHRISTIAN SABBATH - by Herbert W. ARMSTRONG of the Phil. Church of GOD. and it was thought provoking. Now I observe Sunset Friday as the Sabbath".
In my opinion in the Bible the word FOLLOW seems to be the keyword in the four Gospels. JESUS was a Jew. The apostles would have followed JESUS in observing Sunset Friday as the Sabbath in the temple or elsewhere. They were celebrating PASSOVER the night before JESUS was crucified.
After JESUS death temples and houses were the church, and seemed to have fractured from the way. Jews were really not much liked and over time, divisions occurred. TIMOTHY 1 - 1 PAUL speaks of teaching of false doctrines. The Christians soon became a cult in the ROMANS eyes. *TO THE LIONS* for years in the arenas.
In CONSTANTINE'S rein as emperor, [he became a Christian around 312 AD ] the door opened for Christians. Though ROMANS were sun-worshipers "SOL" and the various gods associated for worship. I feel, CONSTANTINE, made Sunday as the day of worship for Christians. To coordinate "SUN" with "SOL". Plus other factors. {who was to tell the empire any different } Thus deviating from JESUS teaching FOLLOW ME. Where JESUS a Jew, observed Sunset Friday as the sabbath in the calender plus other feast days.
Today we have two Sabbaths, only one can be right ????????????????????????? As I think JESUS would say today, FOLLOW ME. All the rest is teachings of man

So true, I was blessed to be raised to hold the true seventh day Sabbath and I can not understand how people think it does not matter. That is great strength for you to make the change and follow the truth. God bless.
