FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


The question: "Why do you go to Church on Saturday?" is by far the most frequently asked question.

In Genesis Chapter 2 Verses 2 and 3 God rested from creating the earth and God blessed and sanctified (set apart) the seventh day (Saturday). In Exodus Chapter 20 Verses 10 and 11 the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God. In verse 11 the Lord blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it. There is nowhere in scripture that God or Jesus ever changed this. It was changed by man, specifically the Roman Catholic Church.

Wasn't the calendar changed?

Yes the calendar has been changed a number times but the sequence of days has never changed. It has always been Sunday the first day and Saturday the seventh day.

The fourth Commandment was never reaffirmed in the New Testament like the other nine.

The fourth Commandment was reaffirmed more than any other in the New Testament. Jesus as well as the Apostles observed the sabbath day and reference to this is made numerous times throughout the New Testament.

It is interesting to note that in the New Testament the Sabbath is mentioned in 55 verses. Most of them dealing with worship or the keeping of Sabbath. The first day (Sunday) is mentioned in only 9 verses. Six of them dealing with visiting the selpulchre on the first day of the week. It would seem that such an important event as changing the Holy Sabbath of God, (the only commandment that begins with "remember"), would merit much more mention.

Didn't the Apostles believe in the Lord's Day?

The Lord's Day is mentioned only once. Rev. 1:10. There is some question by Biblical scholars about what is intended by the use of the Lord's Day here. In those times many of the rulers (Lord's) would set aside days for feasting, etc. and these days would be called the Lord's Day.

Are you Legalist?

No we are not legalist by any stretch of the imagination. We do believe in the Ten Commandments (all ten). We believe they are written in your heart. You would not know sin if it there was no Commandments. Each time you obey a criminal and the vast majority of civil laws you are obeying the Ten Commandments.
