It's time you stop seeing and start reading.This seventh day I believe is also the millenial reign, 1000 years with Christ.
I see Christ as God's Sabbath Day that he created to rest in.
Are you saying Christ is a created being? If you are, I guess that's okay but I suppose you should know that we're not in agreement on that. :)Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
GE, you're just a treasure, you are. I hope you don't disappear as a lot of beacons have here. :)It's time you stop seeing and start reading.
Nice try, but you failed to properly read what Apostle Paul wrote...
Col 2:16-17
16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
KJV
Your reasoning on it simply lacks all common sense. Instead, you've stooped low to men's Legalist criticism of Scripture.
I agree.Also, the Sabbath was created; Christ was not. :)

Good! Only don't replace the Perfect Participle of 2 aspects, before and present, with a FALSE INTENTIONAL DECEIVING Verb in English Past or Present Continuous Tense. It is the work of the little horn with his big mouth Antichrist.
Davy:
LEGALISM. A joke from the doctrines of men designed to cause doubt of the simplicity of God's written Word.
Nothing can be further from God's Truth!!!The writer of Hebrews appears to use katapusis and sabbatismos more or less
synonymously:
That's funny because I just started a thread about common sense, and it's beginning to move into reasoning..lol
I don't think one has anything to do with the other, but I'm still investigating.
Reasoning simply lacks all common sense.
Come let us reason together.. though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow.
What is common sense in that verse?
What is the reasoning in that verse?
Are the same?
just something I'm contemplating..lol
contemplation and meditation.. so many words..lol

Not one word, phrase or sentence above is from the actual literal Text - Greek Text. NOT ONE.
So, to sum up over 1300 posts, it turns out God did NOT change the 7th Day Sabbath Worship to Sunday after all!
Ya know, sometimes it takes a while to get to the bottom of these things, but once you get there, all you feel is gratitude and reverence for God and all His Mighty Wonders.
He truly is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. He just doesn't change, does he?
What a Glorious God!!
God bless.
No, He didn't change it, nor did the pagan Romans.
The early Church kept the weekly sabbath in Judea because it was required by civil law. So the Christians met on Sunday to worship (or another day of the week). Yet in Christ's future Millennium reign, we all will keep God's Sabbath. But under The New Covenant, we are not held to a particular sabbath day. The orthodox Jews, and groups like the Seventh Day Adventists believe we still are held to the old sabbath, but I don't see SDA being strict in it, since the old sabbath time was Friday at sunset to Saturday at sunset. I have SDA friends that go to Church on Saturday morning, and that's it.
Another way to look at it - Sunday is the last day of the week.We read in Acts 13:42, 44
42) And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
44) And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
Please note that the Jews gathered together on the seventh day of the week [Saturday] and also note the term "next" in Strong's Concordance means "between" therefore, in this case, "next/between sabbaths" would mean the day after Saturday will have to mean Sunday the first day of the week.
Now the most significant and profound Scripture reference concerning the change from Saturday Sabbath to Sunday Sabbath worship [which BTW, can't be seen in the English translation] is Matthew 28:1 that reads:
"In the end of the sabbath as it began to dawn towards the first day of the week came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulcher."
Please note that the printer is warning the English reader that words in italicize in the KJV Bible, are not in the original manuscripts. Also note that the word "week" is the plural Hebrew word "sabaton" that can be proven.
Hence, Matthew 28:1 can be rendered thus:
"In the end of the sabbaths as it began to dawn towards the first of the sabbaths came Mary..."
Now Matthew 28:1 seems to be in harmony and that God teaches us that He changed the Seventh Day Sabbath Worship to the First Day Sabbath which to us is Sunday.
To God Be The Glory
Christians can worship ANY DAY of the week now. It's not about ritual anymore.
Trying to say Sunday isn't the first day of the week is what does not make common sense.Trying to say Sunday isn't the first day of the week is what does not make common sense. Per Colossians 2:14-17 those in Christ are no longer held to keeping the Hebrew weekly sabbath like the Jews do. Christians can worship ANY DAY of the week now. It's not about ritual anymore.
And the Colossians 2:16 word "sabbath" does... mean the traditional Hebrew Sabbath, for the Greek word there is 'sabbaton' which is taken from the Hebrew for Sabbath.
