WHICH IS THE CORRECT DAY OF WORSHIP FOR THE CHURCH?
By Ezekiel Kimosop
The New Testament Scripture (which is the source of Christian doctrine and practice) does not prescribe any specific day of worship that is binding on the church.
Even though most Christan communities worship on Sunday, this is not informed by any religious creed. It is simply derived from tradition and convenience.
The SDA claim on Saturday being the hallowed Sabbath for the church is not supported by any passage in the New Testament Scripture.
We are not bound by the ritual law of Moses but merely by it's moral code. Christ has fulfilled the ritual ordinances (Matthew 5:17).
Christ must be at the centre of our worship and He alone must be glorified. We should not be bound by the rules and philosophies of men.
Colossians 2:16-17 says "So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, 17 which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ."
Christ is the subject of the two canons of Scripture. He is the One to whom all prophecy points and in Whom the redemption plan of God finds fulfillment.
Any religion that is not anchored on this truth is undoubtedly a Christian cult.
