SALVATION BY THE SABBATH.

[IndigoChild5559]

Hi IndigoChild5559. Good afternoon. That's not true. Early so-called Chr-stians kept the Sabbath Day on the seventh day of the week, the Saturday. Even after Constantine legislated the keeping of Sunday in a determined program of religious syncretism for his empire, remnants of the True Worshipers who migrated to Europe continued to resist the religious authorities of Rome. There is no "Chr-stian Sabbath" according to the Bible. There is only one Sabbath Day, which is the seventh day of the week. Our Messiah, Yahshua the Messiah kept the Sabbath Day. He is our example and we are to follow His footsteps. The apostles also kept the Sabbath Day.

All you need to do is read Matthew 24:20 in which our Savior Yahshua the Messiah indicates that the Sabbath would be observed both in 70 C.E as well as in the end of the age when all things are to be fulfilled.

The very earliest of Christians kept the sabbath, but already in Acts there is an account that shows the Breaking of Bread was done on the first day of the week. Acts 20:7 On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Paul spoke to the people and, because he intended to leave the next day, kept on talking until midnight.

By the late first century, what was really becoming the Gentile church was keeing the Lord's Day (sunday) INSTEAD OF the Jewish sabbath, as is documented in Ingnatius' Letter to the Magnesians: "If, therefore, those who were brought up in the ancient order of things have come to the possession of a new hope, no longer observing the Sabbath, but living in the observance of the Lord's Day, on which also our life has sprung up again by Him and by His death... how shall we be able to live apart from Him, whose disciples the prophets themselves in the Spirit did wait for Him as their Teacher?"

So like I said, Constantine made resting on Sunday a legal national thing. But he was not the originator of what was already a Christian practice.

Ya know, you're pretty good at this.

Hi IndigoChild5559. Good afternoon. The breaking of bread simply means that they began to eat. This was not the Sabbath Day. This was most likely a Bible study, which no doubt was announced on the Sabbath Day, that Paul would be conducting a Bible study following the Feast of Unleavened Bread, especially as Paul as you said was leaving the next day.

In terms of Ingnatius' Letter to the Magnesians, already at this time anti-Semitism had entered in to the assembly. However, the early so called Chr-stians did keep the seventh day Sabbath on Saturday.

breaking bread is an expression that means to have communion/eucharist, or whatever name you want to call it.

The breaking of bread was what Jesus did at the last supper as a remembrance and it is how the disciples on the road to Emmaus recognised Jesus. (Luke 24:35) The term seems to have become a term used to describe that remembrance meal.
I don't see that not observing the Sabbath has anything to do with anti Semitism.
The earliest Christians were Jewish and so they did keep the Saturday as Sabbath.
