Why Christians should Worship on Sundays
This is an email that I received. Do you agree with all ten reasons given? Are all ten correct? Is there something that should be included that would better complete this article?
Top Ten Reasons Why Christians should Worship on Sundays as Lord's DAY !!!.
We should worship the LORD JESUS CHRIST at all times. Praises will continually go forth from my mouth.
1. To commemorate the Resurrection and the finished work of CHRIST in its VICTORY over death, hell, and grave. ( Mathew 28:1, Mark 16:9, John 20:1 ).
2. The LORD'S manifestation to HIS Disciples was on Sunday. (John 20:1/19/20).
3. CHRIST ignored completely the old Jewish Sabbath. The first day is the prominent day after Resurrection. (Mathew 28:1, Mark 16:9, John 20:1,19,26).
4. The OUTPOURING of the HOLY SPIRIT came on SUNDAY. PENTECOST was the first day after the Jewish Sabbath.(Acts 2:1, Leviticus 23:15-21.) Thus both CHRIST and the HOLY SPIRIT manifested themselves to the Church, the BODY OF CHRIST, on this day completely ignoring the Jewish sabbath day.
5. CHRIST or no Apostle ever commanded to keep the old Jewish sabbath, or any other day, but did command all men not to be bound by any particular day .( Roman's 14:5/6, Galatians 4:9/11, Colossians 2:14/17) Sin is sin wherever it is committed. It is transgression of the law that constitutes sin. (1 John 3:4 ) not the day in which it is done, anything sinful on saturday or sunday is sinful on every other day. If it is not sinful on Monday, Tuesday or etc then it is not sinful on Sunday to Worship as an Eccelsia Church Gathering Corporate in Person.
(Hebrew 10:24/25).
6. There is no set day as commanded to be a sabbath in the NEW COVENANT, as in the old covenant which was abolished, and they keep Sunday as the day of Worship.(Revelation 1:10, 1 Corinthians 16:2, Acts 20:7, John 20:1/19/26, Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:9).
7. The Jewish Sabbath was a changeable sabbath, changing at PENTECOST every year to one day later until each day of the week was observed every seven years. PENTECOST was the first day after the 7th sabbath. ( Leviticus 23:15/21). The feast of the First Fruits came on Sunday, just as The Resurrection. (Leviticus 23:9/14, Mathew 28:1, John 20:1).
8. GOD honored Sunday by giving the Law on that day. (Exodus 19:1/3/11, Leviticus 23:3/6, Exodus 12:2/13).
9. The Church of LORD JESUS CHRIST came together to Worship and took the LORD'S HOLY COMMUNION (SUPPER). ( 1 Corinthians 10:16) Acts 20 Verse 7: And upon the first day of the Week, the Disciples came together to break bread.
Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
10. Constantine and the Pope did not change the sabbath and that's why we WORSHIP on Sunday and "Bless the LORD oh my soul" every single day making mention of HIS HOLY NAME as we live in CHRIST's KINGDOM. (Acts 17:28).

Good article! Somehow I get the hunch that Messianics and SDA's have that completely refuted point by point.

Been a nurse for 45 years I have missed many sundays. THere are also many others working on sundays.
Here in Albania there are many small churches that share a pastor. Like the church I attend here. Worship is done on other days, specially on Saturday. So what?
I really think we should not be to hard on this.

You are right. But that is not something I want to discuss with this group. I don't like 3,5,6,7 or 8. But I will always contend that salvation is by grace through faith and not of works.

I think he means he believes 'salvation is by grace through faith and not of works' no matter what it sounds like when he talks about other stuff that might seem to contradict that.

People hear what they expect to hear and fail to listen to what is actually being said.

Taking spiritual advice from the Roman Catholic Church -- hummm - that's got to be a first for this forum!
