First day

[Featherbop]

the seventh day adventists are called that name because they keep God's sabbath and not the commonly kept false one. So, since the SDAs are called so because they keep the seventh day, shouldn't people and churches that keep the first day be called "first day adventists"? :D :

SDA cult

... we prefer to be called "Christians".... followers of our Lord Jesus Christ. :wink:

Keeping the law... and the Sabbath

Let us consider the SDA claim that you MUST worship on the Sabbath (Saturday).

Paul told the Colossians that the Sabbath was only a “shadow†that had passed away when the “substance†came with Christ (Col. 2:16–17). Paul affirmed that the entire table of the Mosaic Law “written and engraved on stone†(which included the Sabbath law) “was passing away†(2 Cor. 3:7, 10) and found its “end†(v. 13) in Christ. The New Testament repeatedly mentions that the Old Testament Jewish Law has been fulfilled by Christ (Rom. 10:4). Because of this fulfillment, “there is a change in the law†(Heb. 7:12).

The Sabbath command is the only one of the Ten Commandments that is not restated in the context of grace in the New Testament. This is a significant omission if it is supposed to be practiced by Christians today. Rather, the New Testament sanctions the first day of the week for Christian worshipâ€â€a day which Paul himself practiced. The reasons for this are obvious. It is the day Christ arose, thus initiating the first day of the week for Christian celebration. Jesus’ first postresurrection appearances were on Sundays, thus establishing a pattern of expecting his presence on the first day of the week (cf. Mark 16:2; John 20:19, 26). Sunday is also the day the Holy Spirit baptized the disciples into the body of Christ (Acts 2:1–4; cf. 1 Cor. 12:13)â€â€providing the birthday of the Christian church.

Thus, it became the practice of the apostolic church to meet on the first day of the week (Acts 20:7; 1 Cor. 16:2). In the last book of the New Testament, John the apostle was meditating on Sunday, the “Lord’s Day,†when he received a vision of Christ (Rev. 1:10), showing that the practice continued for many decades after the time of Christ. Indeed, the Christian church has continued this practice from the first century to the present.

Care to explain why the Christians (as described in Acts) worshipped on Sunday?

Sabbath is on Saturday.

True Christianity does not keep a Sabbath. We are no longer bound by the cosmic order of times and seasons.

We enter our Sabbath rest at the end of the age.

For now, we work.

I don't know anyone who keeps the Sabbath period, regardless of what day of the week they claim to do it.
I went to a 7th day adventist church once.
They pushed Mary White books and 20% tithing so we could receive double our tithing back from God.
No one made any real attempts to welcome us.

I don't know any Christians who keep any day of the week as a Sabbath/.
Most don't even go to church any more.
And the ones that do call it their day of rest simply by going to church.

How many people have any real understanding as to what the Sabbath means and is?
