Puritan Board Freshman
Dear brothers and sister in Christ,
I understand we have the Lord's Day on Sunday and the Sabbath historically was the 7th day, so Saturday. In America, we have a two day weekend and so are free to hold both.
The Reformed tradition (esp Presbyterians (WCF) and Puritans) has usually argued that the Sabbath day has moved from Saturday to Sunday. I'm wondering how they overcome all the verses in the Bible (after Jesus rose) that still call the 7th day the Sabbath? If the Sabbath moved, wouldn't all the verses following Christ's resurrection that referred to "the Sabbath" have to now mean the 7th day? How does one who holds Sunday is the new Sabbath overcome that this does not appear to be reflected in scripture?
Thank you for your insights
