Calendar Series
The calendars on this page show the conflicting views between what man teaches and what the Bible teaches.
The Bible:
Rev. 1:10 "I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet"
Matthew 12:8 (KJV) "For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day."
Man's Teachings:
Webster's dictionary reads that "Sunday is the Lords Day." Why do we have to go outside of the Bible to find this information? The Bible teaches that Saturday is the Lord's Day, while Webster and tradition claim Sunday as the Lords Day.
There are reasons why people keep Sunday as the Sabbath. The third commandment of the Catholic Cathecism "commands us to sanctify Sunday as the Lord's Day". Open your Bible to Exodus 20 and compare the 4th commandment with what is taught in the Cathecism. This non-Biblical teaching was introduced over 1500 years ago and has taken deep root in the majority of churches today.
The Convert's Cathecism of Catholic Doctrine by Rev. Peter Geiermann, C.SS.R. Page 50.
Q. Which is the Sabbath day? |
A. Saturday is the Sabbath. |
Q. Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday? |
A. We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic church in the council of Laodicea (A.D. 336) 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 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 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. |
Read this Cathecism very deliberately and think about what it says. Can man set aside what God has said?
The next Evidence Calendar shows the passage in the New Testament stating that the seventh day remains a day of rest.
