RE: Is Cristianity telling us the Truth about the Bible
The church celebrates Sunday because Jesus rose from the dead on a Sunday.
The Sabbath is part of the old covenant. Christians aren't required to celebrate the Sabbath.
(Romans 14:5 NIV) One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.
If people celebrated the Sabbath today they wouldn't be allowed to attend church in most cases.
(Acts 1:12 NIV) Then they returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives, a Sabbath day's walk from the city.
That distance is about 1200 yards. It's less than one mile.
My question would then be as a christian we keep 9 commandments because one was done away with under the new covenant?
Thank you for your input and engagement.
One other thing, why wouldn't people be able to go to church if they kept sabbath today? The way I see the command is do your work (occupation or lively hood) 6 days and don't cause anyone else to do work on this day. Sorry just popped up in my thinking.
