Are there any 7th Day Baptist Here ?

I was wondering if any 7th day Baptists were on this website ?

After the death of Jesus, it was the First day.  See Acts 20.

[Amo]

After the death of Jesus, it was the First day.  See Acts 20.

Acts 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

The Jewish day started at evening.  Thus, in order for Paul to have been preaching on the first day of the week until midnight, it would have had to be what we consider Saturday night.  Thus Paul preached on what we consider Saturday night until midnight, planning to depart Sunday. 

Even if though, Paul had preached on Sunday morning, this would be no proof that the fourth commandment had been done away with.  If this one verse in the book of Acts means the first day had replaced the seventh day as the Sabbath in the new covenant, then these next four verses certainly in the book of Acts certainly establish the seventh day Sabbath in the same.


Acts 13:14 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down. 15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on. 16 Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.

Here Paul preached on the Sabbath in the synagogue.  I guess according to your mind set, this means we should be going to the synagogue on Sabbath still.

Acts 13:42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. 43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. 44 And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.

Of course, the above verses according to your mind set, mean that the gentiles which accepted Christ, still observed the seventh day Sabbath, and so should we.  I have no argument with that.

Acts 17:1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews: 2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,3 Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ. 4 And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.

Here we have Paul preaching not just one Sabbath, but three in a row.  Not only Jews accepted the message, but a great multitude of Greeks.  Of course this is far more, and conclusive proof that the Sabbath was still being observed during the time of the Apostles, than the one obscure proof text which you have offered.

Acts 18:3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers. 4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.

More of the same.  Paul reasoned with the Jews and Greeks every Sabbath in the synagogue while in Corinth.  According to verse eleven of the same chapter Paul stayed there a year and six months teaching the word of God among them.  Surely, if as you suggest, the mere mention of one preaching on a certain day is evidence that that day was the Sabbath of the new covenant, then by your own reasoning, the seventh day is still the Sabbath of the new covenant.  Of course I feel sure that you will now modify your reasoning.  Or, perhaps I have misunderstood your reasoning.  If so, my apologies, and please do explain further.

              The church gathered together on the 1st day of week to reconize the resurection. The Jews in the synoguges to reconize the creation.
 Still the Bible says not to judge men accoring to Holy Days-
The point is,Jesus didn't come to do away with the law but to fulfill it.
Let me give an example,.....Christ said that if you look and lust in your heart you have commited adultery.Likewise,the Sabbath for a Christian should be EVERYDAY!

On the other hand,the Adventise movement is a child of the "Mother" and should be regarded as a false church!!!!!!

These people apparently observe the 7th day sabbath, just like Jesus and all His apostles did.

The deciples also worked  on saturday  in the fields .  Harvesting  grain to eat .

 The old sabbath day pointed to the real rest  Jewish people would have one day in Jesus
it was a shadow of the much  better rest to come.  WHICH IS Jesus

 

Luke 6:1 (New International Version)

Luke 6
Lord of the Sabbath
 1 One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and his disciples began to pick some heads of grain, rub them in their hands and eat the kernels.

Hey guys. 
This will be my first posting here.  I like some of the discussions I've seen and for the most part very intelligent and respectful.   

I had to reply to this saying that Luke 6 is about the opposite.  What I read that , "his disciples began to pick some heads of grain, rub them in their hands and eat the kernels." it doesn't sound like harvesting to me.  In fact if you read the rest of the chapter it wasn't. 
...
2 But some of the Pharisees said, “Why do you do what is not lawful on the Sabbath?”
3 And Jesus answering them said, “Have you not even read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him,
4 how he entered the house of God, and took and ate the consecrated bread which is not lawful for any to eat except the priests alone, and gave it to his companions?”
5 And He was saying to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
6 On another Sabbath He entered the synagogue and was teaching; and there was a man there whose right hand was withered.
7 The scribes and the Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He healed on the Sabbath, so that they might find reason to accuse Him.
8 But He knew what they were thinking, and He said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and come forward!” And he got up and came forward.
9 And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to destroy it?”
10 After looking around at them all, He said to him, “Stretch out your hand!” And he did so; and his hand was restored.
11 But they themselves were filled with rage, and discussed together what they might do to Jesus.
 -----------------
The Pharisees were following and spying on Jesus trying to catch him breaking the Commandments or doing anything they could condemn him for.  Jesus knew full well what they were up to and took the opportunity rebuke their legalistic view of God's law.  Jesus pointed out that he is the Lord of the Sabbath, he understood it well obviously.  The statement "Lord of the Sabbath" seems to confuse some people, but really just as he is Lord of all things created by God and the sabbath was created by God.

If you think about it though.  If Jesus really came to do away with the Sabbath, and it is true as some say that he and the disciples did not keep it - why on earth did he pay so much care and attention to correct them and show how to correctly observe it?

I'm puzzled as to why this thread was moved.  It was about Seventh-Day Baptists.  The Admin considers Seventh-Day Baptists to be SDA?   I think both SDA and SDB would take exception to that. 

I'm pretty new here but do all threads get moved to the SDA forum automatically as soon as the Sabbath is mentioned?

[djconklin]

After the death of Jesus, it was the First day.  See Acts 20.

And yet most Chrtistians at least as late as the 5th century kept the Sabbath. Also, in India till the 1540's they kept the Sabbath when Xavier went there and till 1602 in Ethiopia.  I don't know when they stopped in Ireland.

In Troas, Paul met with the disciples on the first day, and broke bread (Lord's Supper) with them.  Apostle and disciples met on the first day.

No, the Admin doesn't consider SDB's to be SDA.

But for the most part, yes, Sabbath discussions will get moved here, unless you state you are a Seventh Day Baptist, and then they will be moved to the Baptist subforum.

In Troas, Paul met with the disciples on the first day, and broke bread (Lord's Supper) with them.  Apostle and disciples met on the first day.

Actually, they met with the believers at Troas on our Saturday nite because Paul, Luke and others went by ship to Assos on Sunday morning (verse 12).  During the meeting they ate a late supper and then another meal after midnight or so (verses 7 and 11).

Most Christians as late as the 5th century kept the Sabbath.  In India they did so till the 1540's when Xavier arrived.  In Ethopia they did so till 1602.  I don't know the date when they ceased to keep the Sabbath in Ireland.

Saturday night?  Yes, the first day.

[djconklin]

Saturday night?  Yes, the first day.

By Jewish reckoning.  After sundown Sabbath, you'd have the first day.  Not Sunday morning--our Saturday nite.

They met on the first day.   I am correct.  Verse 7 is quite clear.
