BAPTIST

“There was and is a commandment to keep holy the Sabbath day but that Sabbath day was not Sunday… It will be said, however, and with some show of triumph that the Sabbath was transferred from the seventh to the first day of the week. Where can the record of such a transaction be found? Not in the New Testament – absolutely not. There is no scriptural evidence of the change of the Sabbath institution from seventh to the first day of the week.”

---Dr. Edward T Hiscox, author of The Baptist Manual

CATHOLIC

“You may read the Bible from genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we (Catholics) never sanctify.”

            ---James Cardinal Gibbons, The Faith of Our Fathers, p.111

CHRISTIAN

“There never was any change of the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. There is not any place in the Bible any intimation of such a change.”

            ---First Day Observance, p17, 19

CHURCH OF CHRIST

“I do not believe that the Lord’s Day came in the room of the Jewish Sabbath, or that the Sabbath was changed from seventh to the first day.”

            ---Alexander Campbell, Washington Reporter, October 8, 1821

CONGREGATIONALIST

“The current notion that Christ and His apostles authoritatively substituted the first day for the seventh, is absolutely without any authority in the New Testament.”

            ---Dr Lyman Abbott, Christian Union, January 19, 1882

EPICOPAL

“Is there any command in the New Testament to change the day of weekly rest from Saturday to Sunday? None.”

            ---Manual of Christian Doctrine, p. 127

METHODIST

“Take the matter of Sunday … there is no passage telling Christians to keep that day, or transfer the Jewish Sabbath to that day.”

            ---Harris Franklin Rall, Christian Advocate, July 2, 1942

LUTHERAN

“The observance of the Lord’s day (Sunday) is founded not on any command of God, but on the authority of the church.”

            Augsburg Confession of Faith, quoted in Catholic Sabbath Manual, part 2, chp 1, Section 10

PRESBYTERIAN

“The Christian Sabbath (Sunday) is not in the Scriptures, and was not by the primitive church called the Sabbath.”

            ---Dwight’s Theology, vol. 4 p. 401

ENCYCLOPEDIA

“It must be confessed that there is no law in the New Testament concerning the first day.”

            ---M’Clintock and Strong, Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature, vol.9, p. 196

The catholic record of London, Ontario, Canada, September 1923: “Sunday is our mark of authority … the church is above the Bible and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact.”

A Doctrinal Catechism by Stephen Keenan: “Has she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her, she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday, the just day of the week, for the observance of Saturday, the seventh day, a change for which there is no scriptural authority.”

“And why call me, Lord, Lord and do not the things which I say?” Luke 6:46
