What Is The Appointed Day Of Rest (sabbath)? by MostHigh: 5:38pm On Jan 14, 2013
A Quote out of the Catholic Catechism by Peter Geierman, The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine, p. 50.

Q. What is the Third Commandment?
A. The Third Commandment is: Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day.
Q. Which is the Sabbath day?
A. Saturday is the Sabbath day.
Q. Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
A. We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday."


Canon Laws of the Council of Laodicea

Can. 29. “Christians shall not Judaize and be idle on Saturday, but shall work on that day; but the Lord’s day (sunday) they shall especially honor, and, as being Christians, shall, if possible, do no work on that day. If, however, they are found Judaizing (saturday sabbath rest), they shall be shut out [Greek anathema] from Christ.” …

This legislation by Constantine probably bore no relation to Christianity; it appears, on the contrary, that the emperor, in his capacity of Pontifex Maximus, was only adding the day of the Sun, the worship of which was then firmly established in the Roman Empire, to the other ferial days of the sacred calendar…
What began, however, as a pagan ordinance, ended as a Christian regulation; and a long series of imperial decrees, during the fourth, fifth, and sixth centuries, enjoined with increasing stringency abstinence from labor on Sunday.

There's nothing like sabbath for Christians. It was a picture of God's kind of rest and has nothing to do with worship day for Saturday or Sunday.

I AGREE WITH YOU COMPLETELY CHRISTIANS ARE NOT JEWS, YASHUA WAS NOT A CHRISTIAN,YASHUA AND ALL HIS DESCIPLES ARE JEWS, SALVATION IS OF THE JEWS, JEWISH CHRISTIANS OBSERVE THE SABBATH TILL TODAY

WESTERN CHRISTIANITY IS A CREATION OF THE VATICAN


PEACE LOVE AND JOY!!!

TO FURTHER EXPLAIN MY POINT I WANT TO READ FROM TWO CATECHISMS. FIRST, FROM THE CONVERT’S CATECHISM OF CATHOLIC DOCTRINE BY REVEREND PETER GIERMANN.
QUESTION: WHICH IS THE SABBATH DAY?
ANSWER: SATURDAY IS THE SABBATH DAY.
QUESTION: WHY DO WE OBSERVE SUNDAY INSTEAD OF SATURDAY?
ANSWER: WE OBSERVE SUNDAY INSTEAD OF SATURDAY BECAUSE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN THE COUNCIL OF LAODICEA TRANSFERRED THE SOLEMNITY FROM SATURDAY TO SUNDAY.”

THE CATHOLIC MIRROR OF SEPTEMBER 23, 1894, PUTS IT THIS WAY: “THE CATHOLIC CHURCH FOR OVER ONE THOUSAND YEARS BEFORE THE EXISTENCE OF A PROTESTANT BY VIRTUE OF HER DIVINE MISSION, CHANGED THE DAY FROM SATURDAY TO SUNDAY.”

THE SECOND READING IS FROM REVEREND STEVEN KEENAN’S DOCTRINAL CATECHISM WE READ THIS:
QUESTION: HAVE YOU ANY OTHER WAY OF PROVING THAT THE CHURCH HAS POWER TO INSTITUTE FESTIVALS OF PRECEPT?
ANSWER: HAD SHE NOT SUCH POWER, SHE COULD NOT HAVE DONE THAT IN WHICH ALL MODERN RELIGIONISTS AGREE WITH HER; SHE COULD NOT HAVE SUBSTITUTED THE OBSERVANCE OF SUNDAY, THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, FOR THE OBSERVANCE OF SATURDAY, THE SEVENTH DAY; A CHANGE FOR WHICH THERE IS NO SCRIPTURAL AUTHORITY.”

THEN FROM CARDINAL GIBBONS’ BOOK, THE QUESTION BOX, P.179, “IF THE BIBLE IS THE ONLY GUIDE FOR THE CHRISTIAN, THEN THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST IS RIGHT IN OBSERVING SATURDAY WITH THE JEW. IS IT NOT STRANGE THAT THOSE WHO MAKE THE BIBLE THEIR ONLY TEACHER SHOULD INCONSISTENTLY FOLLOW IN THIS MATTER THE TRADITION OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH?”

ONE MORE STATEMENT TAKEN FROM THE BOOK, THE FAITH OF MILLIONS, P. 473. “BUT SINCE SATURDAY, NOT SUNDAY, IS SPECIFIED IN THE BIBLE, ISN’T IT CURIOUS THAT NON-CATHOLICS WHO PROFESS TO TAKE THEIR RELIGION DIRECTLY FROM THE BIBLE AND NOT FROM THE CHURCH, OBSERVE SUNDAY INSTEAD OF SATURDAY? YES, OF COURSE, IT IS INCONSISTENCY BUT THIS CHANGE WAS MADE ABOUT FIFTEEN CENTURIES BEFORE PROTESTANTISM WAS BORN, AND BY THAT TIME THE CUSTOM WAS UNIVERSALLY OBSERVED. THEY HAVE CONTINUED THE CUSTOM EVEN THOUGH IT RESTS UPON THE AUTHORITY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND NOT UPON AN EXPLICIT TEXT FROM THE BIBLE. THAT OBSERVANCE REMAINS AS A REMINDER OF THE MOTHER CHURCH THE HARLOT OF REV SHE HAS BORNE SO MANY CHILDREN AND THEY ALL STILL CARRY HER MARK AND SEAL


PEACE LOVE AND JOY!!!
