Ok....I want to pose a serious question. If you don’t like religious discussions, don’t read this. I hesitate to pose it, because it has the potential to make folks upset or mad, but it is on my heart and mind.
First, let me say this has nothing to do with the beliefs of the Seventh Day Adventist, though they might have some of it right. I do believe they are too legalistic for me. But.....
Are we forsaking one of the Ten Commandments by not keeping the Sabbath holy?
I am not saying we have to abide by all the laws the Pharisees set up, but should we remember The day God set aside?
Argument by the church.....Jesus arose on the first day of the week.
But.......I read that for over 300 years the Christians worshiped on Saturday, then Constantine decided to change it. Did he have a mandate from God? The early Christians, sometimes met on Sunday, but the disciples preached on The sabbath.
This is very serious with me. I don’t want to willingly break a commandment. Now that my conscience feels this may be a sin.
I have so many learned Christian friends, I would appreciate your response.
