Is Sunday Worship
The Mark of The Beast?
The Saturday Sabbatarians have some strange views about Sunday worship, which are also very dangerous! They also totally ignore the Scriptures which show first-century Christians religiously meet together on Sunday (the first day of the week) so they can blame the alleged change from the Jewish Saturday to the Christian Sunday on the Catholics:
On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Paul spoke to the people and, because he intended to leave the next day, kept on talking until midnight. (Acts 20:7)
Now about the collection for God’s people: Do what I told the Galatian churches to do. On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made. (1 Cor 16:1,2)
The Saturday Sabbatarians ignore those Scriptures and go a giant step into the devil’s hands! By their teaching that Sunday worship is the mark of the beast, they indirectly set a snare before the last generation to take the real mark of the beast, since they will not recognize it for what it is! Since they think Sunday worship is taking the mark of the beast such people will be receptive to the real thing. (Remember: False doctrine often leads into more dangerous false doctrines, as shown here.)
The Implications of
How KJV Onlyites
Use Rev. 22:18,19
How spiritually dangerous is it to be a KJV Onlyite? Does it just hinder one’s ability to understand Scripture, which is more than enough reason to avoid it at all costs, or does it actually get worse? Believe it or not, it gets much worse!
Because the KJV Onlyites cite Rev. 22:18,19 as proof against all non-KJV translations, when they teach the KJV is the standard of what and what not should be in any translation,
they also infer non-KJV Bible users will be lost! Let’s look at those verses:
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. (Rev 22:18,19, KJV)
If that passage is a real warning against all non-KJV onlyites, then: (1) Rev. 22:18,19 had no meaning until after 1611, when the KJV was first translated, and (2) All non-KJV onlyites will be lost. Not only are the KJV onlyites wrong, they are dangerously wrong. (Again, false doctrine often leads into more dangerous false doctrines, as shown here!)
