The Christian Post is one of the largest non-denominational, conservative, and evangelical Christian news publications, with approximately ten million monthly readers. [1] The Christian Post wrote an article titled “Why should I go to church?” on April 24, 2024, asserting that Sunday is the “eternal Sabbath” and the Lord’s Day. Additionally, they falsely claimed that in heaven, the angels gather from Sunday to Sunday to worship God. Tragically, The Christian Post has blurred the lines between biblical truth and pure fiction. Sunday rest is the product of the imagination, while Saturday, the true Sabbath, is rooted in the word of God.
The Christian Post published the following statements, fraught with grave errors and intellectual dishonesty:
• “Revelation 21 gives us this picture of a bride like a city, with gates in every direction. This astonishing image shows us all the people of God, from everywhere, in every age, gathering to worship the God who is in the midst of His people.” [2]
• “When we meet together on the Lord’s Day with our brothers and sisters, it is a foretaste of that great day. We need to recognize that reality when we gather with the Lord’s people not only in our local congregation but around the globe, as well as with the church triumphant in heaven and the angelic hosts.” [2]
• “Our earthly gatherings Sunday by Sunday are meant to cultivate a longing for the eternal Sabbath. In the Old Testament, the Sabbath day was particularly characterized by rest. That aspect of the Lord’s Day still remains, and we are told to look forward to that eternal rest. But in the New Testament, one of the changes to the Lord’s Day is that it is increasingly characterized by worship.” [2]
Attempting to pass on error as biblical fact is a deception that betrays the integrity of the Scriptures. It undermines the credibility of those who spread such false information. It is a sad fact that, in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, far too many people want to imagine that Sunday is the new day of rest and worship. Declaring Sunday to be the new Sabbath is to continue a deception. Such statements do not lead us to enjoy the blessings of God’s eternal rest, but rather to disappointment, betrayal, and deception during the coming crisis of the Mark of the Beast. God’s word is clear: the seventh day, Saturday, is the true day of worship and eternal rest.
