When Sunday and Christmas Became Mandatory

from First Century Christianity · host First Century Christianity

When Sunday and Christmas Became MandatorySunday and Christmas are two pillars and even litmus tests for Christianity today but they both were shunned by believers until deep into the 300s AD. This message shows both these doctrines of men were introduced after the close of scripture and time-stamps when they were made mandatory for Christianity. We also discuss the result of the councils, that assumed the power of God, was to make the original Christians sinners. None of the New Testament authors observed Sunday instead of Sabbath nor did they observe the birth of Jesus at all, yet the councils that mandated these days be kept holy decreed those who did not to be heretics and sinners. Men do not have the power to make or counter laws that are reserved for God alone. Sunday and Christmas are not mandatory for Christianity at all. Hopefully this message motivates people to look into these observances and then return to the true worship of first century Christianity. First Century Christianity - First Century Christianity
