Where did I change the meaning of "first day of the week"? To me it means the day after the Sabbath.
You show your ignorance here. YHWH was not displeased with His Sabbath, but with the Israelite's sins. Was He also displeased with worship services (vs.13) and prayer (vs.15)? I don't see you doing away with either of those.
The ONLY reason Yeshua resurrected on a Sunday was because that is the day the wave sheaf offering fell on that year. Had it fallen on a Tuesday, the deceived churches would be keeping Tuesdays as their most important day.
What does it mean to “break bread”? Does it mean to celebrate “the Eucharist” on Sunday? According to Acts 2:42-46, “breaking bread” was done daily. It simply means to have a meal. In Acts 20:7, the disciples finished Sabbath services on Saturday. After the sun set ending Sabbath and beginning the first day of the week, they had a meal together followed by Paul’s preaching until midnight Sunday (our Saturday night). The disciples held this special gathering because their beloved Paul was to leave the next morning (vs. 7). In the morning, he had planned to walk approx. 10 miles to Assos. Notice he would not take this strenuous, tiring trip on Sabbath, but waited instead until Sunday, another work day.
Does this refer to collecting offerings during a Sunday service? No. If you check Acts 11:27-30 & Romans 15:25-28, you will see that there was a great famine that especially caused hardship for the brethren in Judea and Jerusalem. Paul requested offerings from the Galatian, Corinthian, Macedonian, and Achaian brethren. He told them to gather the goods (food, clothing, etc.) prior to his arrival. He did not want to have to wait for the offerings to be gathered when he came. He then took all the relief items to Jerusalem to disperse to the needy saints. There is nothing in these verses to indicate a typical Sunday collection. It was a one time special collection because of the famine. And it was done on Sunday because of the tremendous amount of work involved in loading all the goods, something they would never have done on Sabbath.
"Let no one outside the Body of Messiah pass judgment". Those within the Body MUST pass judgment when sinners take over and try and change or abolish the Sabbath.
Yes, that is the man-made tradition of a corrupt body of people once Paul departed. Those people were not apostles. The true apostles of Yeshua kept all Ten Commandments.
Surely you jest. Sunday??
The original account from which
Hebrews 4:1-11 is taken is found in
Numbers 14:22-24,
28-30, and
Deuteronomy 1:30-40. In both passages it was the "land" (of Canaan) that was being withheld because of unbelief. The children of Israel were on their wilderness journey to the "promised land," which was a type of the "rest" to come. Joshua brought them into that land or the typical "rest" (
Joshua 1:13-15;
21:44;
22:4), yet the Almighty again spoke through David concerning this greater rest. In
Psalms 95:11, David uses the phrase "my rest" instead of "the land" as in the original promise. Why? Because "the land" was only a type of the future rest to come when true believers enter into the true promised land, the "heavenly country" that the patriarchs of old saw from afar (
Hebrews 11:13-16).
We are currently on our wilderness journey as well. We are heading for the heavenly country promised us. Just as the Israelites continued keeping the Sabbath rest throughout their wilderness journey, so, too, must we continue to keep the Sabbath rest. In fact, the Israelites continued to keep the Sabbath even after entering the typical promised land of Canaan. We, too, will continue in the Sabbath rest as prophesied by Isaiah (66:22,23) even after the new heaven and new earth come.
The ONLY law that was changed was the one stating which tribe the high priest must come from. The Sabbath was NEVER changed except by ignorant sinners.
John says NOTHING about any "heavenly Eucharistic liturgy" in that verse. He simply states what day it was when he had his vision. As long as you read into each text whatever you want, you will remain in your ignorance.
Those verses have absolutely nothing to do with the authority to change the existing laws of YHWH.
No "Mass" was ever celebrated in Scripture. That is an invention of the Catholic church.
I totally agree with the church prior to Paul's departure. After that, I reject all their idolatry and changing of YHWH's laws.
