CBS Promotes Sunday Rest and Worship

On Sunday, May 15, 2022, CBS Channel 42 in Birmingham, AL featured an interview with a pastor from the United Methodist Church to explain why Christians worship on Sunday. Despite the fact that the Methodist pastor stated that “some Christians,” such as “Seventh-day Adventists,” observe Saturday as the Sabbath, he expressed that most Christians, more than 98%, worship on Sunday, and this has become the primary day of worship.

The Methodist pastor went on to say that Saturday, like the Ten Commandments, was for Jews. He also stated that while people are free to worship on Saturday, Sunday has become the “primary time of worship” due to Jesus’ resurrection on Sunday. This, he claims, is what led to Sunday becoming the new Christian Sabbath. What matters, he says, is that we keep a day holy, whatever that day may be, and that we rest emotionally and spiritually.

Although the majority feels that Sunday has somehow become the Christian Sabbath, this does not make it so. It is also true that the majority of people can easily accept a lie (The mainstream media is a perfect illustration). Because truth does not always follow the majority and the majority does not always believe the truth, the majority view does not establish truth.

Unfortunately, what people want nowadays is for the truth to be whatever they want it to be. Despite the fact that the truth is staring them in the face, most Christians today will accept anything that makes them feel good. Truth according to the Bible is neither an emotion, a suspicion, an opinion or a perspective. The reality is that there is only one truth, and that is God’s (John 17:17). Everything else is simply an illusion.

“You know how it is with the papal power. The people have no right to interpret the Scriptures for themselves. They must have someone else interpret the Scriptures for them. Have you no mind? Have you no reason? Has not God given judgment to the common people just as well as He has to the priests and rulers? … God help us to be Bible students. Until you can see the reason for it yourself and a “thus saith the Lord” in the Scriptures, don’t trust any living man to interpret the Bible for you. And when you can see this, you know it for yourself, and know it to be the truth of God. You will say, ‘I have read it, I have seen it, and my own heart takes hold upon it, and it is the truth God has spoken to me from His Word’.” (Faith and Works, p. 77).

According to Daniel 7:25, the seventh-day Sabbath was changed to Sunday by a power that claims to be greater than the Creator. According to Bible prophecy, the son of perdition, the antichrist, the beast of bible prophecy, will compel the world to drink the wine of the wrath of her fornication, which is her false doctrine (Revelation 18:3). This power will be followed and embraced by the entire world (Revelation 13:3). As the abomination of desolation continues to propagate the deception about the Lord’s true Sabbath day, she is preparing to impose her counterfeit mark upon the nations (Revelation 13:17). Here’s a link to all you need to know about God’s true, seventh-day Sabbath.
