Sola Scriptura-4 — Another Day With Jesus

Sorry for the delay, but my service I use for my blog was down for a few days. It just came back today. We will now continue in our search for the true ‘Sola Scriptura’.

We must now contend with another idolatrous practice that has permeated the Catholic Church and then the ‘Protestant’ church for centuries. This is how did the Sabbath be replaced by Sunday as our ‘day’ of worship? We need only to go to the Council of Laodecia in 363 AD. The Church of Rome has already established itself as the head of all the other churches established in the Roman empire. Here is what became law in 363 AD.

Canon 29: Christians shall not Judaize and be idle on Saturday, but shall work on that day; but the Lord’s day they shall especially honour, and, as being Christians, shall if possible, do no work on that day. If, however, they are found Judaizing, they shall be shut out from Christ.

Who makes these changes? What can we know about this person or entity?

Daniel 7:23 "Thus he said: 'The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth, which will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth and tread it down and crush it.

7:24 'As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them, and he will be different from the previous ones and will subdue three kings.

7:25 'He will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.

This is our first reference to the coming anti-Christ. Of course, Jesus warned us as well.

Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said to them, "See to it that no one misleads you. 24:5 "For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many.

Matthew 24:9 "Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. 24:10 "At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another. 24:11 "Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. 24:12 "Because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold.

False teachers, false Christs, and the anti-Christ will lead many astray. It will come in stages as false teachers will gradually change God’s doctrine to the traditions of men and demonic doctrines. The Sabbath was merely one of the first to be changed. God does not change nor does His Word.

There are 116 verses in the Bible that mention the Sabbath. It is the longest of the 10 commandments. Jesus and all the apostles kept the Sabbath.

Jesus kept the Sabbath

Luke 13:10 And He (Jesus) was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.

Paul kept the Sabbath.

Acts 18:1 After these things he (Paul) left Athens and went to Corinth. 18:2 And he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, having recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. He came to them, 18:3 and because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and they were working, for by trade they were tent-makers.

18:4 And he was reasoning in the synagogue every Sabbath and trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.

Neither Paul or any other apostle began to worship on Sunday after Jesus ascended into Heaven. It was the Roman Church in partnership with the Roman Empire that wanted everyone to honor the venerable Sun God on his day known as Sunday.
