49. June 4, 201149 Religious gatherings? 1 st day of the week a) this is also misleading in its translation. It is literally “one of the sabbaths” b) Scripture demands a second witness (Deuteronomy 19:5, Matthew 18:16) http://hodf.org 49

55. June 4, 201155 Resurrection Day…a new day of worship? A Significant Time Lapse… How long after the actual events happened were these eight groups of scripture written? It was upwards of thirty years or more. Why wouldn’t they have called “the first of the weeks” Sunday, or even the Lord’s Day, if they intended to signify the establishment of a new weekly day of worship? June 4, 2011 http://hodf.org 55

66. June 4, 201166 Summation (in part) Do 5 Gospel accounts declare a new day of worship? No, events of the wave sheaf day. Do 3 gatherings reveal new day of worship? No, possible events of the wave sheaf day. Does Pentecost? No, reveals Holy Day observance Does 8 th day? No, part of the count to Pentecost. Does Lord’s day? No either “day of the Lord or Sabbath confirmation http://hodf.org 66

67. June 4, 201167 Summation (in part) Summation (in part) The Sabbath observance comes from the 4 th Commandment. Yeshua Himself proclaimed that He did not do away with the Commandments Matthew 5:17 & 18 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. …For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. http://hodf.org 67

71. June 4, 201171 The Risen Messiah We acknowledge and honor Christ as the one who empowers us with the Holy Spirit and that our resurrection as firstfruits is through Him with the Feast of Pentecost. We acknowledge and honor Christ as our soon coming and conquering King with the Feast of Trumpets http://hodf.org 71

72. June 4, 201172 The Risen Messiah We acknowledge and honor Christ as the atonement for those who would be joined to God with the Day of Atonement We acknowledge and honor Christ who dwelt among us and will again dwell on the earth with the Feast of Tabernacles http://hodf.org 72

73. June 4, 201173 The Risen Messiah We acknowledge and honor Christ by whom all will have the chance to receive salvation and dwell eternally with the Father and Son with the Last Great Day. http://hodf.org 73

74. June 4, 201174 Sunday Keeping So what about Sunday keeping? (note there were those keeping Sunday even before Yeshua died and was resurrected…sun worshippers) http://hodf.org 74

75. June 4, 201175 Sunday Keeping History shows there were people keeping Sunday in the 1 st century. This does not mean it was acceptable for even in the days of the disciples there were people going astray http://hodf.org 75

76. June 4, 201176 Sunday Keeping Peter warned of twisting Paul’s writing to ones destruction. (2Peter 3:16) Paul warned of people not properly handling the Word of Truth even in his day. (2 Timothy 2:14-19, 2 Thessalonians 2:7) http://hodf.org 76

77. June 4, 201177 Sunday Keeping The scriptures warn that “grievous wolves” would enter among the flock not sparing and there would be men from your own selves who will speak perverse things. (Acts 20:29,30) Peter warned that there would be heresies brought among us and the truth shall be evil spoken of. (2 Peter 2:1-3) http://hodf.org 77

78. June 4, 201178 Sunday Keeping Christ Himself warned of “many coming in His name and deceiving many”. (Matthew 24:5) So there would be no surprise if professing believers were walking astray of the WORD http://hodf.org 78

79. June 4, 201179 Sunday Keeping But the scripture is clear that the new comers were still keeping and were to Keep Sabbath Acts 15:18 19 Known unto YHVH are all his works from the beginning of the world. Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to YHVH: http://hodf.org 79

80. June 4, 201180 Sunday Keeping Acts 15:20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. Acts 15:21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath day. http://hodf.org 80

81. June 4, 201181 Sunday Keeping A little more history By decree of the Roman Emperor Constantine around 300 years after Yeshua it became official http://hodf.org 81

82. June 4, 201182 Sunday Keeping “Let all judges and townspeople and occupations of all trades rest on the venerable day of the sun; nevertheless, let those who are situated in the rural districts freely and with full liberty attend to the cultivation of the fields because… http://hodf.org 82

83. June 4, 201183 Sunday Keeping …it frequently happens that no other day may be so fitting for plowing grains or trenching vineyards, lest at the time the advantage of the moment granted by the provision of heaven be lost. (The Code of Justinian, Book lll, title 12, law 3) http://hodf.org 83

84. June 4, 201184 Sunday Keeping Constantine later added that the Christians should no longer "Judaize" by keeping the Sabbath, under the threat of punishment. http://hodf.org 84

85. June 4, 201185 Sunday Keeping The threat became reality as those who continued to obey GOD were persecuted by loss of rights, property and possessions, and suffered imprisonment and physical abuse even unto death. Many believers laid the Sabbath aside in favor of Sunday to escape persecution. http://hodf.org 85

86. June 4, 201186 Sunday Keeping Sunday keeping is a fabrication and command of men under the inspiration of the devil. Thus the “1 st day of the week” scriptures do not reveal a new day of worship, but merely report “events of the day” http://hodf.org 86

87. June 4, 201187 http://hodf.org 87 Resurrection Day… a new day of worship??? NO!
