Well there you go seems like you missed a lot of scripture for someone that knows God's Word?
Now please show me where it says in God's Word that the 4th commandment is ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to keep Sunday as a Holy day? If you cannot shouldn't we believe God's Word over the teachings and traditions of man?
Sunday worship is a tradition of man that breaks the commandments of God (the fruit of love). Many have forsaken God's 4th commandment to follow Sunday worship. In times of ignorance God winks at but when a knowledge of the truth has come calls all men everywhere to repent and believe His Word.
Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of man or the Word of God?. Jesus says if we follow the traditions of man over the Word of God we are not following God (
Matthew 15:3-9)
Who should we believe God or man?
Ok late my time friend I will chat latter look forward to your reply or your friends....
May God bless you as you seek him through His Word
