Why Do You Observe Sunday Now the Commandment says: "Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work," just as much as it says "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy." There is just as much command to work six days as there is to rest the seventh. Many tell us that the Sabbath command was merely for "one day in seven" - that it did not have to be THE seventh day of the week, but merely the seventh part of time. Certainly he could not have done this had the Sabbath been done away, or changed. www.livingcog.com /b4.htm

The Catholic Record, Sept. 1, 1923. Now in the matter of Sabbath observance the Protestant rule of Faith is utterly unable to explain the substitution of the Christian Sunday for the Jewish Saturday. Thus by the same Divine authority, in virtue of which she did away with the Jewish Sabbath and substituted therefor the Christian Sunday, the Catholic Church legislated as to how the Lord's Day should be observed. Christians are all wrong in speaking of the Sabbath as Sunday." The Christians who so speak are "Bible Christians," those who make the Bible the sole rule of Faith; and the Bible is silent on Sunday observance, it speaks only of Sabbath observance. www.aloha.net /~mikesch/c-record.htm   (1792 words)

Sabbath (witchcraft) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In Christian folklore, the Sabbath (also known as "Witch's Sabbath") was a gathering supposed to have been celebrated by Satanists, witches and warlocks to honor the Devil, offend God, Jesus, the sacraments, the cross, and perform unholy rites. These coincidences suggest that the Sabbath may have been remnants or revivals of those old pagan religions, which naturally were seen with alarm by the dominant Christian. It was believed that the Sabbath commenced at midnight and ended at dawn, beginning with a procession, continuing with a banquet, then a Black Mass, and culminating with an orgy in which non-marital or sexual intercourse with demons in male or female form was practised. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sabbath_(witchcraft)   (1286 words)

Chapter V. Witchcraft. The church declared the female sex had always been most concerned in the crime of christian witchcraft and as it was its aim to separate woman from all connection with its ordinances, it also asserted that the priestesses of antiquity held their high places by means of witchcraft. The teaching of the church, as to the creation of women and the origin of evil, embodied the ordinary belief of the christian peoples, and that woman rather than man practiced this sin, was attributed by the church to her original sinful nature, which led her to disobey God's first command in Eden. Although witchcraft was treated as a crime against the state, it was regarded as a greater sin against heaven, the bible having set its seal of disapproval in the injunction "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." The church therefore claimed its control. www.sacred-texts.com /wmn/wcs/wcs07.htm   (17258 words)

HISTORY OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH* The Christian Sabbath is the ancient Sabbath baptized with fire and the Holy Ghost, regenerated, spiritualized, and glorified. But Christian martyrdom in general was regarded by the early church as a heavenly birth and a fruit of the earthly birth of Christ. As to its essential idea and observance, it was born with the Christian Sunday on the morning of the resurrection. www.ccel.org /s/schaff/history/3_ch07.htm   (14388 words)

Is Sunday the Christian Sabbath? Christians meet for worship on Sunday, not because it is the Sabbath of the ten Commandments, but because it is convenient. Consequently, the day we all know as Sunday is referred to in the Bible as the "first day of the week." And so in our search to answer the question about Sunday being the Christian Sabbath, we will need to examine every Bible verse in which the "first day of the week" is mentioned. Sunday observance, inshort is an "heirloom from heathenism," a pagan tradition which unlawfully entered the Christian Church centuries after the early Apostles died. www.avoiceinthewilderness.org /vital/sermon62.html   (4446 words)

Satire on stage - The Heights - Arts & Review At the end of Act I, protagonists Candide and Cunegonde, despite having been ravished repeatedly by a Jew and a Christian (the Jew on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Sabbaths, and the Christian on those days in between), have found their way back to each other. More than a small part of this success was due to the unseen heroes of the night: the pit orchestra, the set and costume design, and the lighting team. Headlining Boston College's sixth annual Arts Festival, Candide enjoyed 6 successful performances in Robsham Theater last week, much to the delight of the theatre department and the wider arts community. www.bcheights.com /news/2005/05/02/ArtsReview/Satire.On.Stage-945704.shtml   (563 words)

Anti-Semitism But this time the Jews were defended by a Christian scholar, Johannes Reuchlin, who argued that the Talmud was full of evidence that validated the truth of Christian beliefs, and this time the Talmud was not burned. Here and there some remnants exist, like the ruling (on which the Russians are apparently basing their claim) that the baby of "a non-Jewish woman should not be delivered on the Sabbath," since doing so would entail the violation of the Sabbath, and it must not be violated for the sake of a non-Jew. Yuval, the professor of Jewish-Christian relations, said the Shulhan Arukh has been edited by Jews and by Christian censors, which was made possible by the printing press, which allowed for greater supervision of content before books were published. antisemitisms.blogspot.com   (17442 words)

Keeping Sabbath: Reviving a Christian Practice Sabbath keeping bears a longing that all human beings will have good work, as well as a longing that no one will be required to toil without respite. Eugene Peterson, a Presbyterian minister, describes the "sabbaths" he and his wife observed every Monday, after their busiest day was over: a drive to the country, a psalm, a silent hike for several hours, a quiet evening at home. Sabbath rest is a recurring testimony against the drudgery of slavery. www.religion-online.org /showarticle.asp?title=318   (4472 words)

Sabbath Few people realize that the Sabbath vs. Sunday controversy raged during the first three centuries of the Christian era, and millions were tortured and put to death over this question under the Emperor Constantine. Was the Sabbath given for the Jewish people only—while Christians are commanded to keep Sunday as the Lord's Day? But there are those who insist the seventh-day Sabbath is still binding. www.sabbath.org   (307 words)

Judeo-Christian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Christianity dropped some fundamental Jewish practices, among them the Jewish covenant on male circumcision, keeping of Sabbath, and the keeping of kashrut (in general, only general ethics of the Written Torah of Judaism transferred into Christianity; most of the Law and traditions of the Oral Torah did not). One of the most significant early Christian preachers, Paul of Tarsus, himself a Jew and a Roman citizen, made a point of preaching to the gentiles of the Roman Empire, contributing to the religion's spread.

Sabbath - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Their rationalization for observing the Lord's Day as a fulfillment of the Sabbath, freeing the Christian from the Sabbath ordinances given to the Jews, is because of the general sense of Scripture in light of the identity, teaching, death, resurrection, and present reign of Jesus, the "Lord of the Sabbath", revealed in Scripture. Sabbath Breaking, that is, neglect of the Sabbath, is a sin according to the Ten Commandments. Sabbath ordinances were appealed to, with the idea that only the word of God can bind men's consciences in whether or how they will take a break from work, or to impose an obligation to meet at a particular time. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sabbath   (1093 words)

The Cross: Its Origin and Significance (No. 39) It was not, however, an early Christian symbol and, indeed, the Sabbath-keeping Churches have traditionally been iconoclastic and have abhorred the use of the cross symbol as pagan. The symbolism that arose from the cults was that of the cross, and the incidence of the propitiation of Hecate (Artemis, Rhea or the Mother Goddess) and Hermes at cross-roads was aimed specifically at the control of spirits of the dead. Concerning the symbolism of crosses, of which the varieties are numerous, we shall confine ourselves to indicating that they depend upon the shape of their arms and the ‘rhythmic direction’ which these arms suggest (as in centrifugal, centripetal, neutral or rotary crosses). www.logon.org /english/s/p039.html   (12099 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Sunday Sunday was the first day of the week according to the Jewish method of reckoning, but for Christians it began to take the place of the Jewish Sabbath in Apostolic times as the day set apart for the public and solemn worship of God. Justin is the first Christian writer to call the day Sunday (I Apol., lxvii) in the celebrated passage in which he describes the worship offered by the early Christians on that day to God. However, toward the end of the thirteenth century, the friars began to teach that the precept of hearing Mass might be fulfilled by hearing it in their churches, and after long and severe struggles this was expressly allowed by the Holy See. www.newadvent.org /cathen/14335a.htm   (1135 words)

Demons and witchcraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia To Christian demonology demons are particularly pleased with the practice of witchcraft (including black magic) because it involves many sins, including attendance at the Sabbaths. Perhaps one of the few points on which Christian demonologists agree is in the belief that witchcraft is a heresy, induced by demons, and that a belief in witchcraft is an essential part of the Christian faith. The Malleus Maleficarum intended by all possible means to prove that witchcraft was an essential belief in Christianity, induced by demons, and practised mostly by women. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Demons_and_witchcraft   (412 words)

The Old Religion Witchcraft is a pre-Christian religion existing long before the Church or its concept of Satan, who was never worshipped as a deity of the Old Religion. Witchcraft in England was made an illegal offense in the year 1541, and in 1604, a law decreeing capital punishment for witches was adopted. Although the infamous Salem witchcraft trials of 1692 are the most memorable and well-documented ones in the history of America, the first hanging of a witch in New England actually took place in Connecticut in 1647, 45 years before the Salem witch hysteria. anglewolfe.50megs.com /old_religion.htm   (1307 words)

The Jewish Sabbath abrogated, or, The Saturday Sabbatarians confuted in two parts: first, proving the abrogation of the old seventh-day Sabbath: secondly, that the Lord's-Day is of divine appointment: containing several sermons newly preach'd upon a special occasion, wherein are many new arguments not found in former authors. www.abcog.org /burnside.htm   (1307 words)

Was it always Jewish tradition to assemble in the temple on the Sabbath? Or is observance permissible in one's own home alone? There is no Christian Sabbath except in the sense that every day is now a “Sabbath rest” based on the fact the work of Christ for salvation is already done. I do believe that Saturday is the Sabbath day, but I want to gain a deeper understanding of the observance of the Sabbath on that specific day and to understand what, if any are the consequences of having the organized observance be on a different day. Originally, Sabbath worship was not a matter of going anyplace or doing anything other than setting the day aside by refraining from work to enjoy God. www.amfi.org /mailbag/GentileSabbath.htm   (1307 words)

Hawthorne, "Young Goodman Brown" Goody Cloyse, that excellent old Christian, stood in the early sunshine, at her own lattice, catechising a little girl, who had brought her a pint of morning's milk. Brown thinks that he recognizes voices of his minister, deacon, and of his wife, but can't be certain since their figures are not visible (2133-34). Brown concludes that life is meaningless, "acced[ing] to a nietzschean 'transvaluation of all values.'" Lastly, by misinterpreting "Young Goodman Brown" the reader may possibly respond with doubt and dislike of mankind from the loss of faith in our ideological values. itech.fgcu.edu /faculty/wohlpart/alra/Hawthorne.htm   (1307 words)

The sabbath was the seventh day in the Old Testament, and even in the New Testament when the sabbath is referred to, it is the seventh day where it refers to the Jews worshipping in the synagogue, as we read in Acts.

The Sinaitic Covenant and the Law of Moses: Irrelevant? Or, Do They Still Matter? In apostolic Christianity, Christians of Jewish or Gentile origin were free, as they remain today, to adhere to the Ten Utterances and observe various Mosaic Covenant traditions such as observing the Sabbath, celebrating the annual Sabbaths and associated festivals, abstaining from unclean meats, paying tithes, and circumcision, but they were not bound to do so. Similarly, the deity of Christian Arabs is not the deity of Islam. Christians were "cut off" from the world and no longer were of the world (John 17:14, 17:16). www.bibarch.com /Perspectives/4.1.htm   (1307 words)
