Sunday is not the sabbath per se. It is the one day in seven that the church worships and keeps Gods sabbath.

By pattern and example the "Christian Sabbath" is on Sunday, the Lord's Day. I am under the assumption that the 7th day Sabbath (the Lord's Sabbath) was changed to Sunday (the first day of the week) because of the resurection.
1. Is the resurection the reason Sunday is now the Lord's Day?
2. Who's pattern and example are we following for the "Christian Sabbath" (observance of God's Holy Day on the 1st day of the week)?
Thanks for your help on this matter.

It truly is freedom to worship God in the way he has commanded. Thank Christ for that liberty he has purchased for us!

THIS is precisely the point, Gabe!! It is out of heart of gratitude, that we obey God's Law! Not under a yoke of condemnation -- but, joyfully receiving those good works IN Christ. Christ IS the Sabbath.

I suggest you step back from this discussion for a while, brother. Harsh words stir up anger.

Scott, my brother....I'm sure you know you don't need to quote laws about the Sabbath to me. Right?
Meanwhile, to make an important point, a question:
For those in our congregations that must work on sunday to feed their families - are they in sin?
When they attend evening or weekly service instead (due to needs) are they breaking God's Law?
This is a meaningful question because folks like this do exist and struggle.
Which is it? Law or Grace?

Good, obviously convinced in his own mind.
Look to the Apostle Paul before John Calvin.

Don't let your anger lead you into sin brother...
Calvin stood up to what he believed and he upset a lot of people, I do the same, I stand for the gospel, I am not ashamed of it.

David,
Do you not believe Calvin kept the Lords day holy and rested accordingly from his labor??

What on earth does that have to do with what Scripture teaches Scott?

Then why try to keep 'one point' of the Law?
