| | Sabbath - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | It is known that Gentile Christians sometimes openly observed the Biblical Sabbath in conjunction with first-day Sunday worship, because the Council of Laodicea [4] around 365 attempted to put a stop to the practice. |
 | | 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. |
 | | Generally the religious festivals, new moons, and accompanying high sabbaths of Leviticus 23, Numbers 28-29, Isaiah 1:13-14, Hosea 2:11, Ezekiel 45:17 and Colossians 2:16-17 are not observed, as these are understood to have been fulfilled by the coming of Christ and their misused practice condemned by Isaiah and Hosea. |
