Worship on Sunday???

**Quest** · 09-30-2016, 01:52 PM

FT...quick question, you said, "So, for those of you that believe it's a sin to worship on Sundays... are you making plans to start worshiping on Saturday?"

Just curious, where did you see anyone post they believe it is a sin to worship on Sunday?

Or were you just making a blanket statement to anyone in the forum reading this?

Some posts seemed to say they believe God never changed the Sabbath from Saturday... if one believes that, then why would they continue worshiping on Sunday?

Seems like they would be going against their conscience if they did not observe on Saturday.... basically making Sunday worship to be a sin since some are saying they believe Saturday is the Sabbath.

I don't think there are any Seventh Day Adventists here. My experience is that if there had been, they would have argued about the Sabbath day frequently and fervently.

The point that they were making FT, is that the Jewish sabbath never changed. However, we don't observe/keep the Jewish sabbath as THE day to worship. We are free to worship on any day, including Saturday. Also, by keeping Christ, we are keeping the Sabbath.

Hey bro, that is the same exact argument that we use to dispel the false teaching of tithing to NT believers!

There is no command in the New Covenant to Tithe and there was plenty of opportunity to do so. This is not one of the things that was transferred from the old to the new like many others things that were.

There is no command in the New Covenant to Tithe

The Book of Hebrews says Jesus is accepting the tithe (Hebrews 7:8), so the Lord must be in favor of it otherwise He would not say He is receiving the tithe. Jesus also said tithing is something that should be done in Matthew 23:23

Tithing was given before the law and is a form of worship... so, if one does not desire to worship God by putting Him first in their finances... they sure it can be viewed as being optional.

I started prospering financially after I began tithing which I basically did because Jesus said where your treasure is there will your heart be also (Matthew 6:21) and honor the Lord with the first fruits of your increase (Proverbs 3:9), not to mention Abraham is the father of our faith and a friend of God so doing what Abraham did is something the Lord enjoys and takes pleasure in.

That verse is referring back to Melchisidek, not Jesus. Read the Amplified version.

Something that some of you miss when it comes to certain Old Testament laws is the fact that these were not as much legalistic ideas that God slapped on the people as much as they were meant to promote physical health. The BODY needs rest from labor and that is why it was commanded to rest on the seventh day. God is as much concerned about the PHYSICAL as He is the SPIRITUAL.

It is like the fact that God told them that the land was to rest every seven years. The earth is a mess today and good crops are hard to produce apart from bio-engineering because we do not follow some of these things.

The verse is overall pointing to the fact that JESUS is now our high priest in the same manner as Melchizedek. I know you anti-tithers who are looking for as much evidence as possible to make it appaer as if the New Testament rejects tithing and so ya'll like to avoid this truth. But the fact is a careful reading allows for a case to be made that we pay tithes to Jesus our High Priest today.
