‘First day of the week’… Acts 20:7

Posted on January 30, 2014 by Pete Rambo

Several days ago, I wrote concerning the nine times we are commanded, in one form or another, to ‘remember the Sabbath.’ Christendom’s defense for SUNday worship varies, however, the primary text is usually Acts 20:7 and the phrase, ‘on the … Continue reading →

A conversation with a Pastor about the Sabbath – UNLEARN

Posted on January 29, 2014 by Pete Rambo

Prophetic attack on peace? Odd…
