The Sabbath Was Saturday, Not Sunday
by Terry Wane Benton The 7th day of the week is the old Sabbath commanded of the Israelites (Exodus 20:8-11). Are we to keep it? No! We are not under the law of Moses (Romans 7:6). The inspired apostle Paul said that the ordinances of the law were “abolished” in His flesh (Ephesians 2:15). Jeremiah…
Read MoreHas the first day of the week ever changed?
Question: Dear brother, Greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Could you please clarify whether the current days are real from the beginning? Being Christians, we worship on the first day of the week. How do we know whether this is the same day of Jesus’ resurrection? As several times calendars have changed in…
Read MoreFrequency of the Lord’s Supper
by Billy Moore As to the frequency of eating the Lord’s Supper, many have wrestled with this question. Since Acts 20:7 is the only reference of disciples coming together to eat the Lord’s Supper, it is the only reference to which we can appeal to establish frequency. We learn “what to eat” and “what to…

Read MoreDoes worship have to be on Sunday?
Question: I was discussing with someone about coming to church on Sundays. What day should we meet? Does it matter which day during the week? Under persecution, you might not be able to meet Sundays, so I was wondering: does it matter the day the church meets? I do know that it states they came…
Read MoreWasn’t Paul’s command to collect on the first day of the week just a coincidence?
Question: Again I ask where in these verses does it say anything about Sunday to be kept holy? It just seems like it is a coincidence these things happened on a Sunday. The collections in I Corinthians 16:2 was made on a Sunday because that is the customary day when Jews made payments and settled…
Read MoreDoes the Bible say the church worshiped on Sunday?
Question: I have a few questions and comments concerning the texts given as proof of Sunday worship outlined in the article: “Is sex on the Sabbath a sin?” The verses are Acts 20:7 and I Corinthians 16:1-2. Acts 20:7 speaks of an act that is done on any day, and nowhere does it say that…
Read MoreIsn’t the word “day” added to Acts 20:7?
Question: In Acts 20:7, in the original Greek, the word “day” is not there. It was later added by men. Adding to! I worship (adore, give praise. honor) each and every day, 24/7. I can’t believe you limit worship to a day. One of Satan’s greatest accomplishments has been to get and keep people arguing…
Read MoreYou only worship on Sunday because Constantine changed the day of worship
Question: It seems to me that you would find any mention of the first day of the week and anything that happened on that day is used to support the idea of worshiping on Sunday. Mainstream Christianity worships on Sunday only because the Roman Catholic Church and Emperor Constantine changed the day of worship to…
Read MoreActs 20:7 doesn’t speak of worship, does it?
Question: Acts 20:7 says nothing about worship, rest, or the Sabbath, let alone indicating it was a new commandment to worship on that day. Answer: “Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until…
