I am not sure what he means by "Presbyterians", I am a member of the United Presbyterian Church and Sunday is the day of worship. It is not the Sabbath. We should still observe the Sabbath. The only reason that one can get by not worshiping on the Sabbath is that you have been freed from the law through Jesus' attonment. That is not to say that you shouldn't observe the law. It is just to point out that although you can't, you can still have faith in salvation. PS. No I am not a minister. Just a congregant. TA> Many Christian denominations view Sunday as the Sabbath, especially TA> among Presbyterian and Reformed churches. Since God's Law, expressed in the TA> Ten Commandments, is just as applicable to us today, we are still obligated TA> to keep God's Sabbath holy just as we are obligated not to commit adultery TA> or make graven images. The Sabbath was a creation ordinance (1 day of rest TA> in 7) and has never been undone. It was meerly reissued at the time of TA> the Mosaic law. TA> TA> Since the New Testament indicates that early Christians worshipped TA> together on the first day of the week, we have good reason to move the TA> Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday.
