Why do Christians worship on Sunday?
When historical evidence is reviewed one finds that the majority of Christian organizations worship on Sunday because…
The Holy Roman Emperor Constantine (who was a sun worshiper) made the following declaration to his Empire in 321 A.D. "On the venerable Day of the Sun (Sun-day) let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed."
A few years later In approximately 365 A.D. at the Catholic Churches Council of Laodicea the following decree was made: "Christians must not Judaize by resting on the Sabbath, but must work on that day, rather honouring the Lord's Day (Sunday); and, if they can, resting then as Christians. But if any shall be found to be Judaizers, let them be anathema from Christ."
Emperor Constantine created the Sunday day of rest to honor the sun. The Catholic Church adopted it as well, possibly to stay in the good graces of the Roman Empire and definitely as the decree states, to create a clear separation between the Christian and Jewish worshipers. A separation which exists to this very day.
The law: Mathew 5:17 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them. 18 For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 so then, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.…
All of the material on this site is the product of my twenty-five years of research and study in the fields of Middle Eastern history, archeology (focusing on the Levant), biblical theology, (the study of the Christian, Judaic and Islamic religions), linguistics (I have studied the Hebrew and Greek languages in order to gain the original writers perspectives). I have personal experience with the following faiths: Southern Baptist, WWCG, CGI, Messianic Judaism and Judaism I lived in a torah based monotheist community based on humanist teachings and values for several years. I have been writing studies/articles and parables since the early 2000s. I published many of my works on the www.YHWHisEl.com site at that time; with a focus on monotheism and the non deity of Jesus (Yehoshua).
After identifying many peculiarities in the TaNaKh while teaching, I tasked myself with determining the source of the inconsistencies. I began my search in the first five books of the bible. I read through them many times, locating inconsistencies and attempting to find the golden key that would unlock them. I read many articles, publications and books in which the authors attempted to explain the irregularities (most based on a version of the JDEP theory) and I tested each against the inconsistencies and all of them failed to provide a viable answer.
I then used critical thinking and tested potential theories until I finally found the solution that solved every problematic area. The Free thinkers guide to the Bible is the culmination of this process.
