Saturdays
On Fridays I work with a lady helping her clean a house that she has been cleaning for 30 years. She is getting older and I was brought in to basically do things she cant do. We talk a lot and she asked me a question a couple weeks ago that I cant stop thinking about. She asked me " Why does the Church of Christ not keep the Sabbath day Holy"? She goes to church on Saturdays and they believe that Jesus wanted it that way. Her whole family besides her is Church of Christ and no one can answer that question for her. I personally couldn't answer the question either. I asked her what about taking the Lord's Supper on the first day of the week and she couldn't answer my question. I feel that Saturday's not kept Holy and it is not just the Church of Christ that doesn't keep it Holy. She said what gives us the right to change what the Bible says. I don't think we changed what the Bible says to do but she really made me think. What are your thoughts. Are we supposed to keep the last day of the week Holy?

From what has been discussed in my Christianity class...the Sabbath day is meant to be Holy. We have changed what the Bible says. The Sabbath is to be a day of rest, yet we use it to do exactly the opposite (wash car, clean, grocery shop, etc.) The Churches of Christ are just as guilty for making their own rules as other religions. I can give you more info on this when I get my notes out, but for now this is all I have.
yes, I agree the CofC is just as guilty.
The Sabbath Day was part of the Jewish Law given in the Old Testament. When Christ died on the cross the Old Law passed away and the New Law came into being. Parts of the Old Law became the New Law, but keeping the Sabbath Holy was not one of them!
