The question of the Sabbath is a question no one is asking.  It's spending time answering a question that people are not asking.  The world is going to hell and the youth are drug infected.  

I was at a church today that had over 10 teenagers saved.  No one cares about this Sabbath stuff.  People are more educated today.  It's not possible to pull this stuff over their eyes.

Michael had as good an explanation as I ever heard.  

I cannot remember a time when the Catholics didn't have a Saturday evening mass.  

Many churches today are having to go to a Saturday evening service in addition to 2 or 3 on Sunday in order to get people into their buildings.  They are not wanting to spend millions on bigger buildings.

If only I had more time, Marlin.  :-)

These links do not help a whole lot except to take more of my time in trying
to find the answer.  For example, one of the links said that it was changed
at the council of Laodicea.  So I look at the canons from the council of
Laodicea, and following is what I find:


CANON XVI.
The Gospels are to be read on the Sabbath [i.e. Saturday], with the other
Scriptures.

Note:  Among the Greeks the Sabbath was kept exactly as the Lord's day
except so far as the cessation of work was concerned, wherefore the Council
wishes that, as on Sundays, after the other lessons there should follow the
Gospel.

CANON XXIX.
CHRISTIANS must not judaize by resting on the Sabbath, but must work on that
day, rather honouring the Lord's Day; and, if they can, resting then as
Christians. But if any shall be found to be judaizers, let them be anathema
from Christ.


This council happened in 364 A.D.  So at this time, Christians assembled on
both Saturday and Sunday.  Furthermore, they were instructed not to observe
Saturday as a day of rest.  Nevertheless, the Sabbath is still regarded as
Saturday and the Lord's day is Sunday.

So I still don't know when and how the Roman Catholics changed the Sabbath
to Sunday.  Is it possible that they never did?

Peace be with you.

Dear CPATS,

I'm not quite sure of what I am getting myself into at this time, but I hope
that you can help me out. I am 20 years old, and a devout Catholic with a
deep knowledge of the Catholic faith (at least in comparison to many
Catholics my age). I am currently attending a private (non-Catholic) college
in Northern Iowa, and I have many non-Catholic acquaintances.

I have one friend in particular who has brought several arguments against
the Catholic faith. This young lady is a freshman and she is a Seventh Day
Adventist. Her biggest argument against Catholicism (and other Christian
Churches) is that we fail to observe the required Sabbath observance of rest
and worship. I have found numerous reasons why we observe Sunday in place of
the Sabbath, but I am unable to convince her because she says there is no
Biblical proof that the day of worship was changed to Sunday. I'm wondering
what your thoughts are on this subject and whether you have any information
that I can use to find a definite answer to my friends charges against my
faith. Please let me know.

Sincerely,

Chris


Answer: [Do Catholics fail to observe the required Sabbath observance ?]

Dear Chris,

Seventh Day Adventists are not only a Protestant sect, but by conventional
Protestant standards it is cult like or at the very least aberrational. The
problem here is that your friend does not understand the authority of the
Church to change the day of worship or any other discipline for that matter.
Such authority is found Acts 15. There we see the authority given the Church
by Jesus in Matthew chapters 16 and 18. In these chapters Jesus gives first
to Peter then to his Apostles the authority to bind and to loose. This is a
Rabbinic expression which means the authority to forgive sin, discern
doctrine and set discipline. In Acts 15 the apostles dogmatically declare
that gentiles need not become Jews first to enter the Church. Then they add
a pastoral discipline forbidding certain meats. Later Paul lifts this
restriction, but the point here is that the Church has authority to set
things like this. That would include days of worship. Your friend insists on
biblical proof. Well where is her biblical proof that biblical proof is
required ?? The Bible doesn't teach that it is the final authority !  It say
it is useful, and inspired but it does not claim sole authority. Further
where is your friends biblical proof of what books should be in the bible ?
The bible does not have an inspired table of contents. No, in fact the
Church using Her Christ-given biblical authority to "bind and to loose" told
us which books belong and which books don't. So by definition, this idea of
the Bible being the sole source of authority is itself refuting and
unbiblical !!

For more information on the SDA's and this specific issue, visit:

http://www.catholic.com

They have a set of tracts on-line that deals with SDA's and Sunday worship.

God Bless,

John C. DiMascio


Bob Kirby wrote:

Chris,

Thanks for the question. Your argument with your friend relates ultimately
to authority. You both agree that the Bible is authoritative, but you both
have made an underlying assumption in that assertion. The only reason you
have a Bible to argue from is the fact that the Catholic Church gave us the
Bible. Ask your friend how she determines what is the authentic word of God,
and where she got the criteria for making such a determination. Where did
her source acquire authority? If you become familiar with the arguments
related to the canon of scripture, you will be able to show her the folly of
trying to come up with an authoritative Bible apart from the Catholic
Church.

She will likely not admit that tradition can be and is authoritative, but
that is where your point must go. This is what you must understand. Ask her
where the Bible teaches monogamy. It does not. Every instance she will cite
can be interpreted differently. We rely on oral tradition and the
magisterium of the Church for many teaching that aren't completely obvious
from Scripture alone.

Ask her how many wills Christ has, the nature of the trinity,
predestination, birth control, abortion. etc. The church is a living body of
Christ and hasn't been asleep for 2000 years. All the time through the power
of the Holy Spirit we have been discerning the Word of God as revealed in
Christ.

Learn how to articulate the teaching on tradition well and you will do well.
While there is far too much to give you in one letter, go read the first few

You don't have to go to Acts 20:7 to find Christians meeting on Sunday.
Just look at Acts 2:46 to find that early Jewish believers, before they were
ever called Christians, met together on Sunday.

What you don't seem to appreciate here is that meeting on Sunday and

How so?  The Old Testament followers of God did not meet on Sunday to have the Lord's Supper.   I don't see any difference to appreciate.   I don't see what you think I don't see.  :-)   Josephus said the Christians met on Sunday.

David,

I am really enjoying your questions, they are constructive.  This is how we
all learn.

My time is so limited now, and I cannot devote as much time as I'd like to
with you and Izzy who have written good questions to discuss.

Briefly, yes!  I do recognize a progressive flow of covenants.  Isn't it
beautiful.

Quickly, the Sabbath pre-dates Moses, and goes back to the creation of man.
It was made for man.  Man was not made for it, as Jesus said.  There is
validation for its observance all the way into the epistles, and in early
church writings.

When we get to the supposed conversion of Constantine as the first pope, we
begin to find the followers of Jesus murdered for Sabbath observance.  Sun
worship permeated the Roman culture.  Sun-day worship was decreed on pains
of death.  This is not a good reason to throw out the commandment.

I do plan to get into your good questions.

Thanks,

Hi Marlin.

I'm not sure why you are quoting the entire credits.  Are you simply
expressing agreement with what I wrote before?  Are you trying to open up
some more dialogue or make a point?

I want to make a few comments about my perspective on the following comment:

> The challenge issued by Rome over 100 years ago remains:
> Either the Catholic Church is right, or the Seventh Day
> Adventists are right. There can be no other choice. And
> if one choose neither, then the whole doctrine of Sola

First, the pillar of Protestantism is not Sola Scriptura.  This is the
pillar of only some of the reformers.  Furthermore, how they used this
pillar is not exactly how some represent them.

I personally do not believe in Sola Scriptura.  The Scriptures tell us that
God speaks by many means and not just by Scripture.  For example, the Holy
Spirit which we receive within us is one way in which God speaks.  Also, the
Bible says that the church is the pillar and ground of truth, and if we read
1 Corinthians 12, we find that it is through the varied members of the body
of Christ that Jesus speaks to the rest of the members.  The Scriptures also
teach that the letter of the law kills but the Spirit gives life.  In any
case, I do believe with the tenet that Scripture is a higher authority than
either revelation or tradition.

Therefore, the phrase above, "there can be no other choice" is false.

Nevertheless, even if Sola Scriptura were followed, a very good case can be
made that there has been a disannulling of the commandments of the Hebrew
Scriptures with regard to Sabbath, Passover, etc.  The Catholics and the
Seventh Day Adventists are wrong on this regard.  If I had time, I would
present the arguments myself, but there are plenty of sources out there that
have already made the arguments.

Peace be with you.

Hi Marlin.

Do you have any recognition of different covenants, or do you consider all
of God's dealings with man as one covenant?

It seems to me like you are saying that if God spoke something to Israel
four thousand years ago, that this becomes his will and mind for all of
mankind throughout all eternity.

What do you think of the following passage of Scripture:

"Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on
them; Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them,
that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof
they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also
walkest orderly, and keepest the law. As touching the Gentiles which
believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save
only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood,
and from strangled, and from fornication."  (Act 21:23-25)

Please answer the following questions:

1. Do you interpret this passage as saying that the Gentiles should not
observe the law as Paul did?

2. Do you get any hint of a different covenant relationship with God between
Gentiles and Jews?

3. Don't you think that Sabbath observance is part of that which James did
not expect the Gentiles which believe to observe?  If not, why didn't he add
sabbath observance to the list of observances required by believing
Gentiles?

Peace be with you.

A Note From the Editors of Mary OnLine+
Credit for this article's appearance here must go, in a case of delicious
irony, to the Bible Light Home Page and to Michael Scheifler, a Seventh Day
Adventist, who, in an act of Christian "charity", awarded The Immaculate
Heart of Mary with his ominous sounding "666 Dangerous Site" designation, a
reference, apparently, to the SDA's long held belief that the Catholic
Church is the Whore of Babylon and the instrument of the Anti-Christ.
Laughable, yes, but it is not the intent here to engage in that debate. We
give Mr. Scheifler credit simply because he did all the work on getting it
typed in and on the 'net in the first place, and graciously gave us
permission to use his work.

The SDA now actually publishes this article in booklet form, to use in it's
propaganda to lull people from the True Faith. Unaware that using an
article, published by a Catholic Cardinal, in a Catholic newspaper, to
convert people to their sect, is a bit like using an advertisement for Coke
to get people to buy Pepsi, the article nevertheless makes a valid point.

The challenge issued by Rome over 100 years ago remains: Either the Catholic
Church is right, or the Seventh Day Adventists are right. There can be no
other choice. And if one choose neither, then the whole doctrine of Sola
Scriptura collapses, and with it, the pillar upon which all of Protestantism
stands.
