Although it may not seem to matter on the surface, the Catholic change of the Sabbath from the seventh to first day of the week is in fact a blow against God's authority.
If Christ rose from the dead on a Sunday, should we worship on that day to commemorate His resurrection?
A Catholic publication challenges the Protestant view of Sola Scriptura. Unfortunately, they're right.
Sunday was transformed from a pagan to Christian day of worship in part due to Constantine's contributions in the fourth century AD.
Members of many Protestant denominations recognize that choosing Sunday as the day of rest is unBiblical.
The Bible gives no indication that the Sabbath should be changed from Saturday to Sunday. The Roman Catholic Church claims responsibility for the change.
Most Christians assume that Sunday is the Biblically-approved day of worship. The Roman Catholic Church protests that it transferred Christian worship from the Biblical Sabbath (Saturday) to Sunday, and that to try to argue that the change was made in the Bible is both dishonest and a denial of Catholic authority. If Protestantism wants to base its teachings only on the Bible, it should worship on Saturday.
