From Sabbath to Sunday

From Sabbath to Sunday

By Dr. Samuele Bacchiocchi

 

In this intriguing book, Dr. Bacchiocchi explores in detail historical events that surround the Catholic Church changing the day of worship from Sabbath (Saturday) to Sunday. He explores how paganism and Anti-Semitism played a large role in luring people away from Sabbath keeping.

Here is an excerpt from pages 185-185:

“The adoption and enhancement of Sunday as the exclusive new day of worship presupposes the abandonment and belittling of the Sabbath. We would presume therefore that the Church where Sunday worship was first introduced and enforced adopted some measures to discourage Sabbath observance. While it must be admitted that we have evidence for the observance of both days, particularly in the East, this must be viewed as a compromise solution on the part of those who wished to retain the old Sabbath while at the same time accepting the new Sunday worship. Their very concern to preserve some type of Sabbath observance disqualifies them as the pioneers of Sunday-keeping, since they could hardly have championed the new day while trying to retain the old. In the church of Rome, the situation was substantially different. Not only was Sunday worship urged there, but concrete measures were also taken to wean Christians away from any veneration of the Sabbath…”

Is the Name “Jesus” Pagan?

Is the Name “Jesus” Pagan?

by John K. McKee

As more and more of Ephraim come out of the church system, Messianic Israel is having to answer some serious questions, the foremost being: “How much Christian theology do we reject?”

Obviously, some valid teachings to reject would be dispensationalism (depicts our God as One Who is doing first one thing and then another), antinomiaism (lawlessness), and the pre-tribulation rapture (leads non-Jewish Believers to feel they have nothing to do but to wait for the “Rapture Bus”). But what of issues such as, what name of the Messiah do we use?

Some claim to be offended if one even speaks the name “Jesus.” Others use the names “Jesus” and “Yeshua” interchangeably. So, we ask: Is the name “Jesus” pagan?

Some say Jesus is pagan because of its Greek linguistic origins. Some have even called our Messiah “Gee-Zeus,” implying that those who call on Him are actually calling on the Greek god, Zeus.

However, a study of Greek grammar, or more specifically, Hebrew to Greek transliteration, shows…”

Why Them and Why Now?

Why Them and Why Now? by Lenny Cacchio

With so many people I care about suffering these days, the inevitable question is, “Lord, why them, and why now? Can’t you intervene and let it slide for a more convenient time? Like, age 95?”

The Apostle Paul asked a similar question, and the answer he received was no more satisfying: “My grace is sufficient for you”.

I don’t know the answer to these questions, and maybe I don’t need to know. As C.S. Lewis in one of his Narnia books quotes the Lion, “I am telling you your story, not hers. No one is told any story but their own.”

True, and the “why” of our own stories is often not known until we look back on them. It is only then, after the moment, that we will be able to understand the “why”.

Conscience Taken Captive: A Short History of the Seventh Day Baptists

Conscience Taken Captive: A Short History of the Seventh Day Baptists

By Don Sanford

This book is a tremendous piece of history showing how Sabbath keepers took a foothold and extended the Kingdom of God into America. Here is an excerpt from page 8:

“The First Seventh-day Baptist Church in America was organized in December 1671 from members of a Baptist Church who had come to the conviction of the Sabbath of the Bible. Stephen and Anne Mumford were Sabbath keeping members of the Tewksbury Baptist Church in England when they migrated to American in 1664 during a period of dissenter persecution. About the same time, according to Samuel Hubbard’s journal, his wife Tracy, “took up keeping the Lord’s holy 7th day Sabbath the 10th day of March 1665…”

“Within 20 years about 76 names were added to the covenant relationship which spread out to places such as Westerly, Rhode Island, and New London, Connecticut. The membership included American Indians as well as English colonists…”

“In 1709 it was constituted as the First Hoplinton Seventh Day Baptist Church, now located at Ashaway, Rhode Island. This is the oldest existing Seventh Day Baptist Church in America”.

Luke’s Historical Details in Acts 18-20 and the Sabbath Week of Acts 20:7

Luke’s Historical Details in Acts 18-20 and the Sabbath Week of Acts 20:7

by Philip Derstine

In a previous Sentinel article we saw that John Calvin understood from 1 Cor 16:2 and Acts 20:7 that Paul retained the day of worship to which the Godfearers in the synagogues were accustomed, which was the Mosaic Sabbath (Acts 13:14, 27, 42-44; 15:21; 16:13; 17:2; 18:4). By ignoring the genitive plurality of the Greek word sabbatōn (σαββατων) and mistranslating the phrase as “first day of the week” (mia tōn sabbatōn), Bible translations have effectively limited the New Testament’s use of the word “Sabbaths” (plural) to Acts 17:2 and Col 2:16. Clearly there would have been a need for the expression “one of the Sabbaths” in Acts 20:7. It will be shown that this Sabbath was “one of the Sabbaths” in the count toward Pentecost, which figures prominently in the narrative of Chapter 20 (cf. 20:16), and in the overall theme of Luke’s second historical treatise. Luke’s historical details place the end of Paul’s third missionary journey and the final trip to Jerusalem in the spring of 55 AD. After making that determination, we will see that the seventh day after Paul arrived in Troas (Acts 20:6) likely fell on a Saturday Sabbath!….

35 Reasons Why I Keep the Bible Sabbath

35 Reasons Why I Keep the Bible Sabbath

By Robert Franklin Correia

This book will give you 35 reasons why it is important for us to keep the Sabbath. This book will build your faith and give you confidence in your walk with God. Here is Reason #8, taken from page 17:

  1. Because the Sabbath is God’s flag.

God has a flag:

  • “I [God] will set up my ensign”
  • A flag is a sign:
  • They set up their ensigns for sins (Ps. 74:4)
  • God’s sign is His Sabbath:
    • “I have them my Sabbaths, to be a sign” (Eze. 20:12; see also verse 20).
    • “It [my Sabbath] is a sign (Ex. 31:13).
    • “It [my Sabbath] is a sign… forever” (Ex. 31:17)   https://biblesabbath.org/shopping/pgm-more_information.php?id=94&=SID
    • To learn all 35 great reasons to honor the Sabbath, order this book at the following link:
    • God took of the fabric of time and made Himself an ensign for eternity. He made a unit of time by rolling of a globe, and He called that unit day. He took a handful of days – seven-and made them a week. And of that week He took the last day, the seventh, and made it the Sabbath. That Sabbath is His sign, His emblem, His flag.
    • Since God has a flag (Isa. 49:22, RV), and a flag is a sign (Ps. 74:4), and God’s sign is His Sabbath (Eze. 20:12, 20), therefore, God’s flag is His Sabbath, because things equal to the same things are equal to each other.
