This is a bible study refuting 'God never said the seventh day of the week'. It is based rock solid on the word of God. Its purpose is only to glorify the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. If you notice any errors you may contact us.
This has been one of the arguments of people such as the Puritan Thomas Watson (1620-1686) and Arthur W Pink (1886-1952) to support the change of the Sabbath to Sunday.
(Thomas Watson THE TEN COMMANDMENTS p95)
"The old seventh day Sabbath, which was the Jewish Sabbath, is abrogated,
and in the room of it the first day of the week, which is the Christian
Sabbath, succeeds. The morality or substance of the fourth commandment does
not lie in keeping the seventh day precisely, but keeping one day in seven
is what God has appointed."
(Arthur W. Pink THE TEN COMMANDMENTS p 34) "The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God." Note well that it is not said (here, or anywhere in scripture)
"the seventh
day of the week," but simply the seventh day, that is, the day
following the six of work."
Note: Beware when anyone argues on the basis of what the scripture does not say; it is almost always false. Look at the scripture:
(Genesis 1:5) "And the evening and the morning were the first day."
(Genesis 1:8) "And the evening and the morning were the second day."
(Genesis 1:13) "And the evening and the morning were the third day."
(Genesis 1:19) "And the evening and the morning were the fourth day."
(Genesis 1:23) "And the evening and the morning were the fifth day."
(Genesis 1:31) "And the evening and the morning were the sixth day."
(Genesis 2:2-3) "And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day
from all his work which he had made.
And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it:
because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and
made."
Now let us ask the question: The first day of what (Genesis 1:5)? Was it not the first day of the first week, of the first month, of the first year, of time as
we know it?
The second day of what (Genesis 1:8)? Was it not the second day of the first week, of the first month, of the first year, of time as we know it?
The seventh day of what (Genesis 2:2-3)? Was it not the seventh day of the first week, of the first month, of the first year, of time as we know it?
So if the first Sabbath was the seventh day of the first week, then the second Sabbath must be the seventh day of the second week, and so on. So no matter
what week number we are in now, the Sabbath day will still be the seventh day of the week, and cannot be altered as long as weeks of seven days still continue to
exist.
