THE LOST TEXT
Why Was It Never Found?
(2) Mark 16:1, 2: "And when
the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and
Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. And
very early in the morning THE FIRST DAY OF
THE WEEK, they came unto the sepulcher at
the rising of the sun."
Mark doesn't
say anything about it now being the Christian Sabbath. He calls the 1st
day of the week by it's common work name. He calls the Sabbath (God's Holy
Rest Day) still the Sabbath. He wrote this passage in AD 60 or 29 years
after the new covenant. It's still the Sabbath and the 1st day of the week.
Where's the change?
Would you like
to know what God thinks about tradition? Let's turn to God's word.
Matthew 15:3-9 "But he answered and said unto them,
Why
do ye also transgress the Commandment of God by your tradition?... But
in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of
men." If Sunday worship is a tradition, then
your worship is in vain. I didn't say it, Jesus said it.
