[SUMMARY OF POINT BEING MADE: THE PROVISIONS OF SALVATION BY THE LORD (INCLUSIVE OF HIS RESURRECTION) WHICH ARE COMMEMORATED BY THE COMMUNION SERVICE DOES NOT SPECIFY A DAY (1Cor.11:24-26):
1Cor:11:24-26
24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in REMEMBRANCE of me. 25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in REMEMBRANCE of me.
26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
HOWEVER THE MEMORIAL OF THE LORD AS CREATOR REQUIRES THE SEVENTH DAY TO BE SPECIFIED FOR ITS COMMEMORATION - (end of summarized thought)]
[1]. In Rom.6:4-9 we shall see the doctrine of the resurrection of Christ points us to Sinfreeness or in other words, to how we are made free from sin; and not to going to church on Sunday in honor of the resurrection of Christ. Note also that doctrine of the resurrection of Christ is intimately intertwined with the death of Christ so that the remembrance of Christ in His death (1Cor.11:24-26) also has with it the remembrance of His resurrection; See Romans 6:4-9.
Rom.6:4-9
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
[2] We were already given by God a day in which we honor Him as God Alone; and for this reason we are told; "Remember the Sabbath day (of the bible), to keep it holy.." Ex 20:8-11. Thus, there is a particular knowledge of this Sabbath that is historical, yet present tense continuous, that we are All called by God to REMEMBER and Keep. So.... what is it about Sunday that you really should REMEMBER?? What is its history and origination?? Do you really know??
[3] There is nothing as relates to God's will in history that directs us to keep the Sunday as a special commemoration day. This day only honors the one who placed special significance on it in history and that is the papacy. It is the papacy that made an association with the commemoration of Christ resurrection (which could be any day with a Sunday Exaltation). In fact the resurrection of Christ is related in biblical history to a date (the 16th of nisan or abib - the feast of first fruits) and not a day, as such it would fall on a different day each year, however the keeping of the cerremonial feasts with their dates are no longer. What we have now which was instituted by Christ is the new passover or the communions service as it as now called.
[4]The resurrection of Christ has no meaning without the provisions of the incarnation, the Holy Life and the death of Christ, these provisions are brought to be shown forth in the ceremony of the neo-pasach (new passover or the communion service), which we are told AS OFTEN AS YOU DO IT you do REMEMBER the Lord's death till he come. So for the REMEMBRANCE of the these provisions God did not set a day or a date. However the Sabbath we are told a particular day in which to remember it. And this is sensible as it has logical and reasonable connection to the day God rested in reflection of all he had done for the benefit of man. Thus to overlook the Sabbath is to be ungrateful of Divine Beneficence. However Sunday exaltation in honour to God is really a pretense and a vain excuse for carnal men to do their own thing. But more so it is an orchestrated plan by the Dragon (Satan) to obtain worship through the papacy (Rev.13), cause men do give religious obeisance to him when they give special recognition to the Sunday as an exalted day, which is really based on his instruction and pontification.
“Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury (Rev.18:2-4)”
Maranatha Our Lord soon come
