The Origin of
the Sabbath

Part

The,
“Culprit”
The Church of Rome is
the source of “Sunday
Worship” in the Christian World!
So, please bear with me and I shall
tell you how The Roman Catholic
Church managed to do this!
The Roman Catholic
Church changed the weekly Sabbath
from Saturday to Sunday… This
change came about in the 200-400 A.D.
time period! Around 200 A.D. there
arose a dispute over picking one day
during the year to honor
Christ’s resurrection – and
Rome picked a Sunday for this! Later,
when Lentwas brought into the Church,
each Sunday during the forty days was
designated to honor the resurrection.
Then, in the 4th century, The
Church made the decision to keep
every Sunday in the year! …In
addition, to stop Christians from
“Judaizing” on the seventh
day of the week, the powerful Roman
Catholic Church passed laws to ensure
Sunday observance – on pain of
death! Thus, they forcefully annulled
the Sabbath Day! Now Remember: This
is the same Church that instigated
the inquisition, to ensure
“total obedience”!
It’s a well known historical
fact that 50-100 million supposed
“Heretics” were put to
death by the Church of Rome during
the more than 12 centuries that they
dominated Europe!
*Not until 1965 did
the Roman Catholic Church, stop
branding Protestants as
“Heretics.” They now deem
it fit to refer to Protestants as
“Separated Brethren."
Now, wait …before
we go any further… I want to try
to make things as clear as possible,
this study is presenting some very firmprinciples
of truth, and to do this I have to
heavily dwell upon the “positive
and “negative” aspects of
various Religious Dogmas…
Now, everyone knows
that numerous “bad” things
have taken place in the name of
“religion” and
“Christianity” in our past
history – And for me to effectively
tell all that I need to tell, some of
you may think that I’m too
blunt…but the Lord knows the
heart…It’s a shame that we
all often seem to “argue”
over many things, religious or
otherwise…
What I want to ask of
you while you read this study is to
try to keep in mind this one thing: The
main message of the Bible is
“love”! In addition, please
believe this, love motivates my
“urgency”! Now, I may say
some things that you may never have
heard before, but I am only trying to
impress upon you, the reader, that
these things are extremely important.
Our planet is rapidly
approaching the end times when the
gloriousSecond Coming of Jesus will
take place! Moreover, I see our race
as a child riding a bicycle towards
the edge of a cliff, unknowingly. Wouldn’t
you “raise your voice” to
shout a warning?
This study is a plea
to everyone, all people
everywhere… The bottom line to
all of this is that God loves us,
ands wants to save you, but he will
not be able to unless you love Him
and love His laws!
Let us continue with
this historical and Biblical study of
the Lord’s Sabbath…
Part 7
Constantine’s
Sunday Blue Law
“Lets all judges
and all city people and all tradesmen
rest upon the venerable day of the
sun. However, let those
dwelling in the country freely and
with full liberty attend to the
culture of their fields; since it
frequently happens that no other day
is so fit for the sowing of grain, or
the planting of vines; hence, the
favorable time should not be allowed
to pass, lest the provisions of
heaven be lost.”
Given the seventh of
March, Crispus and Constantine being
consuls, each for the second time.
321 A.D. The 1st Sunday
blue law! Many Christians think
that this event was
“oh-so-wonderful”- Yes, it
was good that Constantine helped end
the persecution of Christians, but this
law orders people to break the 4th
commandment! The questionable
conversion of Constantine brought a
flood of pagan compromise into the
Church!
…Idols…”Mother-Goddess”
worships… Caesar-like
proclamations of being God… and
worship on the Sun-Day!
Part 8
What the Catholics say
about the Sabbath
The Third Commandment
Q. What is the third
Commandment?
A. The Third
Commandment is: Remember that thou
keep holy the Sabbath day.
Q. Which is the
Sabbath Day?
A. Saturday is the
Sabbath day.
Q. Why do we observe
Sunday instead of Saturday?
A. We observe Sunday
instead of Saturday because the
Catholic Church transferred the
solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.
Q. Why did the
Catholic Church substitute Sunday for
Saturday?
A. The Church
substituted Sunday for Saturday,
because Christ rose from the dead on
a Sunday, and the Holy Ghost
descended upon the Apostles on a
Sunday.
Q. By what authority
did the Church substitute Sunday for
Saturday?
A. The Church
substituted Sunday for Saturday by
the plenitude of that divine power
which Jesus Christ bestowed upon her.
Q. What does the Third
Commandment command?
A. The Third
Commandment commands us to sanctify
Sunday as the Lord’s Day.
The above page appears
in the Catholic publication “The
Convert’s Catechism of Catholic
Doctrine”!
Remember: The Papacy
long ago changed and rewrote the Ten
Commandments – their Third
Commandment is really the fourth!
The Catholic Church fully admits that
the establishment of Sunday as a
“Holy Day” is completely
their act!
