Romans 14:1 Accept other believers who are weak in faith, and don’t argue with them about what they think is right or wrong.
 
People take a couple of verses out of Romans that say nothing about the Sabbath, but rather, it's all about the opinions of men and not just any men but weak men in the faith. The Bible says that some of the things Paul wrote about would be hard to understand. 
 
2 Peter 3:16 speaking of these things in all of his letters. Some of his comments are hard to understand, and those who are ignorant and unstable have twisted his letters to mean something quite different, just as they do with other parts of Scripture. And this will result in their destruction.
 
Because of this we must use the entire Bible to interpret the Bible, not just a couple of verses pertaining to the opinions of men who are weak in the faith.

All through history we see that Sabbath day as something special to God and His people. 

We find the Sabbath as being part of creation itself. 


Genesis 2:3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.

We find the Sabbath being taught to God's chosen people and we know God's people were to be a light to the world. 

Nehemiah 9:13 “You came down also on Mount Sinai, and spoke with them from heaven, and gave them just ordinances and true laws, good statutes and commandments. You made known to them Your holy Sabbath, and commanded them precepts, statutes and laws, by the hand of Moses Your servant. You gave them bread from heaven for their hunger, and brought them water out of the rock for their thirst, and told them to go in to possess the land which You had sworn to give them.

We find the Sabbath as being part of everyone who calls upon the LORD and yes, even the Gentiles. 

Isaiah 56:6-8 As for the Gentiles, the outsiders who join the people of the Lord and serve him and love his name, who are his servants and don’t desecrate the Sabbath, and have accepted his covenant and promises, I will bring them also to my holy mountain of Jerusalem and make them full of joy within my House of Prayer. I will accept their sacrifices and offerings, for my Temple shall be called “A House of Prayer for All People”! For the Lord God who brings back the outcasts of Israel says: I will bring others, too, besides my people Israel.

We find the people of God gathering every Sabbath all throughout the New Testament. Just in the book of Acts alone the early church honored the Sabbath at least 84 times.

Acts 13:44 On the next Sabbath almost the whole city came together to hear the word of God.

Acts 20:7 Now on the first Sabbath, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight.

1 Corinthians 16:2 On the first Sabbath let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come.


We even find Jesus being called, Lord of the Sabbath.

Mark 2:28 Therefore the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.”

We even find the Sabbath in the thousand year millennium. 

Isaiah 66:22-23 “For as the new heavens and the new earth which I will make shall remain before Me,” says the Lord, “So shall your descendants and your name remain. And it shall come to pass that from one New Moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, all flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says the Lord.

Jesus never, not even once, talked about Sunday but He taught us over and over again about how to honor the seventh day Sabbath. Paul never, not even once, talked about Sunday but both Jesus and Paul gathered every Sabbath.

Don't you know that God warned us that His times and law would be changed by a religious system? God symbolically identifies this religious system as the Beast. He tells His people not to worship the Beast or they will experience His wrath. The foundation of true worship is obedience. Who do you obey?

The Sabbath is a blessed and special day. The Sabbath is something that is good, not evil, so why do people make it a profane thing? Because God said that in the last days good will be evil and evil will be good.
