Most Christians celebrate the pagan day of the Sun as their holy day. They justify that by saying that Christ rose from the dead on Sunday. But he did not. The women found the empty tomb on Sunday morning, which implies that he rose on the Saturday. As it says in Matthew 28:
"After the Sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. 2 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning and his clothing white as snow. 4 For fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men. 5 But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here, for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he[a] lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead"
So Saturday is again the proper holy day
He was in the Tomb three days as that was the sign of Jonah, the first day was Friday when he died, he was in the throne all day Sabbath Day and resurrected on the third day Sunday.
ReplyDeleteBut Christians meet on Sunday because after Pentecost which was the start of the Church the Jews met in the Temple on Saturday and pretty much monopolized the Temple during the Sabbath so the Christians made it their habit to meet on Sunday so they didn't have to be in direct conflict.
When the Christians dispersed their habit of meeting on Sunday was retained. When the commonly used excuse was created to explain the choice of day to meet was created was likely much later.
Right you are.
ReplyDeleteThat day was set at creation.
It isn't just for a certain religion.
